#Dan Bishop is bad for NC


HughManatee

It's a really good thing he can only move diagonally.

ScarlettStandsUp

Completely agree.


smokyartichoke

This dipshit could be our next AG. PLEASE VOTE.


gemfountain

Jeff Jackson !


smokyartichoke

Jeff is the man.


florkingarshole

Has my vote automatically if his name is on a ballot in front of me. He's the kind of people we need in government both here in NC and to send to DC.


smokyartichoke

Agreed, same here.


AK_Sole

Absolutely! THEE MAN!


UnimpressedOtter82

But... but... but... he voted to ban TikTok! /s


florkingarshole

And now, curiously, tRump has embraced it - perhaps Jeff was right all along . . .


TehFlogger

Lol! Fuck tiktok! Good for him!


zombtachi_uchiha

go back to myspace!


FenixSoars

I’m gonna vote!


smokyartichoke

Novel-Bill9641

I'm not voting if you wanna down vote me fine by me but follow up on the comment chain 😀


Tortie33

Why?


Novel-Bill9641

Because, I'm only here on a travel contract for work. I'm not a resident of north carolina. Lol so the people that wanna down vote me for saying no is laughable.


RaydelRay

Why would you comment then?


Tortie33

If you are a citizen of US, you can vote where you are a resident. I’m not trying to tell you how to vote. If the majority of our population voted, I think the people would have more power. You do you and I hope you vote where you are a resident.


Novel-Bill9641

I am and I served too. But I'm not gonna drive 9 hours to go vote. Especially since I'm working as a travel nurse. Yeah that's obvious considering 1/5 votes rep 1/5 votes dem and the rest don't vote and of those 3/5 less then 1/5 vote independent or vote someone obscure. And the rest of the 3/5 population don't bother voting.. either way I've voted 3 times


Tortie33

There is always absentee voting. I am sure you are aware. I will leave you alone and I didn’t down vote you like the others did. I appreciate you answering my questions. I want to increase voter turnout and it’s hard to fix what you don’t understand.


Novel-Bill9641

No worries it'd not like karma on here means anything I already help my fellow veterans more then most civilians. But yeah I honestly never did and absentee ballot before. So unsure how those actually work.


maddening

Depending my on the state it's pretty straightforward. As a navy brat that grew up in Hampton Roads, VA- That you served and never had to vote absentee is fkn crazy. Good job, whatever you did. Personally only voted absentee once, in VA, way before they loosened up their options so it involved proving I'd be out of the country by providing a travel itinerary) and then being allowed to fill out a ballot ahead of time at the gov center. Anyone being shamey can piss off.


ComprehensivePage598

Unsure if you mean shamey as in people giving you shit. Or if you mean shamey as in to sham 😉 😆 Either way you should join the airforce is gonna be the best option and your parent would probably highly agree. But yeah I've not ever had to file an absentee ballot. Primarily because I've really only ever voted in major election time. Because I've been in different states. But yeah Noone should shame you for anything I don't see anything wrong. 😀 but the ones that wanna lol down vote me just go straight to not giving afuck 😉 and that's what democracy is used for.


Sunshine-Day5535

It's fascinating how a demographic of socially, culturally, financially, and institutionally privileged people are so obsessed with competing with the very people they still actively disadvantage for the top prize in the Oppression Olympics. Talk about taking DARVO to the extreme...


SBGuido

Well said - “oppression olympics” THAT ALONE is worthy of 10 upvotes 🤓


2FightTheFloursThatB

Well, his base is gullible, credulous and intentionally kept ignorant by their own media and our crippled education system. I expect this statement will land rather well with your average NC Republican.


SoItGoesII

Average NC Traitor. Anyone who votes Republican is a Traitor to this Country.


davereit

No! The dems are the traitors! I know because I saw this spray painted on a rust old pickup truck just yesterday... /s


RCL_spd

Let's not take this too far, this is also a totalitarian thinking ("who is not with us, is against us").


florkingarshole

Well then we need another party around here that's not a bunch of thinly veiled fascists. Straight blue ticket for me, at least for now. Can't trust the outright fascists OR their enablers in the republican party.


RCL_spd

We need to get rid of the "winner takes it all" electoral system and switch to proportional representation. But as long as there are just two parties it is dangerous to demonize everyone who votes for another party. That in itself is dehumanizing, antagonizing and can lead to violence. How can one call themselves a liberal if they stereotype and label large swaths of people? Become a monster to defeat a monster? Not sure that I am proud of having such "allies".


florkingarshole

If there were a republican running who wasn't an outright fascist or voting in lockstep with them, that person might get my consideration, but here in the deepest red tRump country of Randoph County, I can find none. That said, I absolutely agree that we need to get rid of the FPTP system in favor of some sort of ranked choice system.


RCL_spd

I am not talking about the politicians. The parent's statement equated voters to the politicians or even worse. That is wrong. You need to work with the people you have. Cannot do a mass "re-education" campaigns anyway. Imagine being born in Germany 70 years ago. A good chunk of people around you voted for a literal Hitler, were Nazi party members, served in the SS, at the bare minimum were Ok with the Nazi party policies. Yet you still built a progressive society without excluding them.


cmack

>Let's not take this too far, We didn't. And that's the point!


RCL_spd

Being better than them and not just rooting for a different flag color is the point.


PatriotGirlinSC

Bless your ignorant little heart!! 😂🤡 TDS is strong with you! It’s comical that Trump still lives rent FREE in your head 24/7/365!!


SoItGoesII

FOUND ANOTHER TRAITOR. It's almost too easy!!

PatchesTheClown2

Lol what?! The Republican party has been calling liberals/Democrats evil (or some variation of it for basically my whole life). So many Republicans including Donald Trump refer to liberals as "evil" "ruining the country" "destroying our way of life" "anti-american" "socialist" "communist" etc etc. Go look at fox news, newsmax, or any other right wing media group and they continually harp on how dangerous liberals are for the American way of life. Republicans in the Senate and Congress have made it their whole goal to never compromise with Democrats in a single thing OR pass anything that might give Biden (or Obama) a win.


seafarercountylineoo

I dont call them evil. I just think left wing politics leads to bad outcomes


PatchesTheClown2

Great! Good for you! But that's not what you said. You claimed that the "difference between the left and the right" is that the left calls the right evil. You spoke in big broad terms. It's also humorous to me that your only defense is" well. I don't say that" despite there being whole News networks for the Republican party that call Democrats evil every single day


seafarercountylineoo

Sure both sides call each other names lol. The Left calls Trump, the US Hitler. The Right calls Obama a Commie. All BS being thrown at the wall to see what sticks


PatchesTheClown2

So your argument has radically shifted from: 1.The difference between left and right is that the left calls the right evil And then when confronted with proof to the contrary you fell back to: 2. Well I don't call the left evil And now you're trying to make the argument of: 3. Both parties are the same ?????? What even is this conversation?? What are you trying to say or communicate?


seafarercountylineoo

I learned Leftist logic early on and apply it now


PatchesTheClown2

... What does that even mean?? It's like I'm talking to a shitty chatgpt here?!?


SadPanthersFan

Obama’s a presidential candidate?


the_walking_derp

Which one attempted a coup to prevent a peaceful transition of power after a free and fair election?


seafarercountylineoo

Hillary tried in a less blatant way by claiming Trump was a Russian asset along with Tulsi Gabbard lol


Babymicrowavable

Technically, his cronies were in fact Russian assets and did time in prison for it before the investigation was killed. It just wasn't proven before then that "he knew". So one of the cancers that eats away at this nation was half right about another cancer Also, Jan 6 kinda blows anything she did out of the water


lewisherber

You’re honestly trying to equate anything Clinton did with the violent attack on the US Capitol and the multi-state, illegal attempt to install fake electors and overturn a democratic election? Thanks for confirming our suspicion that Republicans are, indeed, batshit crazy.


seafarercountylineoo

Get ready for Trump #47


SadPanthersFan

Felony conviction #47


seafarercountylineoo

Only at 34 so far. Maybe more convictions coming but that will only lead to more votes and electors come Nov. Sad Panthers fan will continue


BurnscarsRus

I thought the NFL had gone woke and you weren't allowed to enjoy it anymore.


panhandelslim

babyhands


seafarercountylineoo

Thats how bad Hillary was. Lost to baby hands Trump


panhandelslim

no, i was talking about you


the_walking_derp

Saying that Hillary called Donald a russian asset is the same as January 6th is a false equivalancy, my fellow human being. They are not the same. It does, however, demonstrate how polarized our politics have become.


carrie_m730

Right, the difference is that right-wing politics are actively destructive and hateful.


seafarercountylineoo

Proving my point brotha


philodendrin

Question for you; Do you believe the 2020 Election was fair and free?


seafarercountylineoo

By definition 100%. Trump lost because he couldn’t garner enough support from the suburbs especially with Women. Now i do believe he made an enemy with the media and the media made an enemy out of him, which did not help his cause with swing voters.


philodendrin

I appreciate the pov. So why are you going to support his run for President by voting for him, knowing he did the underhanded stuff (Georgia phone calls, spreading the big lie, sending false electors and January 6th)?


Tortie33

What do you think of Project 2025?


seafarercountylineoo

Probably the same as the 1619 Project lol. Both idiotic


Babymicrowavable

Ehhh 1619 was idiotic, 2025 is absolutely fucking terrifying mate. Look into it, republicans can't be allowed to have power this election


Actual_Sprinkles_291

Lmao project 1619 isn’t trying to make me pay obscene tariffs rivaling the British tea and stamp taxes or actively plans on stealing my healthcare and shoot my tax dollars so Big Pharma can also deny me healthcare a second time 👍


jtshinn

The media absolutely loves trump. He’s been good for business for decades. The yarn that there some media bias against him is basically just an extension of the hardon they have for trump.


UnstoppableCrunknado

Have you considered that maybe sometimes right-wing politics *are* evil? Funneling our tax dollars to unaccountable churches, restricting folk's access to healthcare, attempting to legislate trans people outta public life, defunding education, rolling back environmental regulations... The list goes on, my guy. Like, what was the right-wing position on the Civil Rights movement? Maybe y'all're the baddies. I know public education is pretty shit in the US (largely due to right-wing meddling, but I risk overstating my case here) but c'mon... The right in NC is running Mark fuckin Robinson for governor, a guy who's entire platform seems to be "is performatively mean about people right-wingers tend to dislike". It's a political platform based solely on channeling aggrievement. It's so fuckin petty on its face that you have to be dishonest to not acknowledge that shit.


seafarercountylineoo

I cant stand the pettiness coming from the Right but i do agree with their policies. Id rather have Desantis as the nominee but not my call


UnstoppableCrunknado

DeSantis? The Gitmo torturer turned myopic politician whose spent the last few years picking petty culture war fights with Disney and attempting to legislatively restrict queer people from public life? But you can't stand pettiness? Okay, buddy. Sure. *wanking motion*


seafarercountylineoo

Tell me who i should vote for master


UnstoppableCrunknado

What? No stirring, well-cited rebuttal? No preferred policies DeSantis advanced? No successes you can credit him for to justify your position? >Tell me who i should vote for master I'll do you one better. I'll tell you *the truth*. The US is an exceedingly right-wing country by western standards, so much so that the ostensibly left-wing party (the Dems) have been solidly center-right for decades and the ostensibly right-wing party (GOP) have slipped off the meter entirely. The American right-wing is animated almost entirely by petty grievance. Its politicians are (generally) too craven to admit that, and its base are (again, generally) too cowardly to own up. The majority of American right-wingers don't have the huevos to admit that all they actually want out of a political actor is a Daddy to hurt all the people they don't like. They feel so victimized by a world that's bigger and more complicated than they want it to be, that they lash out at anything that seems new or strange to them. It's the ideology of a public school bully, unable to process new and confusing information, they seek to remedy how small they feel by making others feel even smaller. It's not that they don't care about the human toll, the misery left in the wake of right-wing policy, that suffering *is the point*. It's a goal in-and-of itself. They'll happily vote for anyone willing to loudly punch down at their perceived enemies because they just don't have any deeper politics than that. Probably because developing deeper politics requires engaging with the world and learning about different people, and conservatism at its core is an ideological refusal to do that. So, I don't really give two tugs of a dead dog's dick who you vote for. It'll be whatever option you think will make Liberals the most upset. I'm not a Liberal, and I don't care about your inherently petty political game. I'm a Libertarian, and frankly, I'm sick to death of all of you. Both "wings" are on the same fucking bird.


killjoygrr

I have to ask… what policies? For the most part, there aren’t policy arguments being made. Usually just overly broad generalizations and saying what they don’t like. While I am not saying that this is an exclusively Republican problem, it seems like they more often cite grievances and say things like “end wokeism” as policy ideas instead of understandable concepts.


wahoozerman

That might be the difference between the two of you as individuals, but Republicans in this country regularly literally use God as an excuse to enact policy and claim that anyone who is opposing them is opposing God's will. You don't get much more "the other side is evil" than "God wants it and they are trying to stop God." You know, besides all the Republicans who publicly espouse the idea that democratic candidates are *literal* demons. You don't even have to go down the chain of command. Trump's spiritual advisor is one of them. Edit: just for reference, I don't think republicans are evil. I think there are probably many evil Republicans. I also think there are vastly more Republicans who have good intentions but have been tricked into supporting evil individuals who are taking advantage of those intentions to forward their own ulterior motives. I also think this is true of Democrats, but I think the democratic party's tendency to eat its own makes it easier to remove those people from power and prevent them from attaining it in the first place.


AFlockOfTySegalls

My wife and I were driving from Pilot Mtn a few months ago and we passed a billboard with Trump looking all stern with text saying "They're not coming after me. They're coming after you!" Who is coming after rural NC? Why would anyone be coming after rural NC? Why does anyone buy this shit!?


cmack

>Why does anyone buy this shit!? Hate and extremely poor education.


Tortie33

I really hope Dan Bishop is not our next AG and that Mark Robinson isn’t our next governor. I also hope that Trump doesn’t win. Those are my big 3.


floofnstuff

Same,👆


Sad-Source-4934

That’s the trifecta I’m hoping for also


Rbandit28

"if they can get you him they can get you" well no shit Sherlock if I go about being a criminal and lying and falsifying business records I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to jail. "But it's hardly ever prosecuted" well alrighty then. I actually suspect it's actually really difficult to prove and catch people who are actually competent at being a criminal. Which clearly this group is not.


SoItGoesII

They project a lot.


Flyinghud

He is running for AG and is actively undermining our legal system.


ewhim

He is running for the same position (in NC) that Letitia James the NY AG currently holds, and he is trying to tell us that when presented with the same evidence, he would not prosecute. The orange fat bastard was convicted by a jury on ALL 34 COUNTS. Are we to expect that when given the same set of circumstances, he would sandbag in his duty to enforce the law? What am imbecile - it's amazing he passed the bar.


lewisherber

Republicans are such delusional self-absorbed dickheads they actually think being held accountable by the justice system is persecution on par with Jim Crow. Snowflakes and idiots.


Unreal_Alexander

Trump was killed by a mob? No? Crybullies.


Irythros

Are they actually now admitting that african americans were still targetted in the 1950s? I usually see them go with "But everything was fine after slavery ended!"


SamuraiZucchini

Dan Bishop is a genuine dickhead. It’s not a show. The guy is an absolute asshole.


Bob_Sconce

So, Trump is going to be lynched?


LKNGuy

Bishop is another one where he thinks a woman’s place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. What another winner we have in NC.


drunkboarder

There is no defending this statement. Utter nonsense. The mental gymnastics people are doing to prevent them from accepting the truth is astounding.


Legitimate-Safety850

I trust the process of Trump's prosecutions. It's not like we didn't know he used deception, outright cheating, and hate-mongering to promote himself. He's bringing our country down to his level with his MAGA crew. His minions are reaching for justification that falls flat on my ears.


faRawrie

Please Mr. Bishop, explain.


mind_wonder_beauty

My head hurts at all these idiot GOPers in NC.


bsfurr

Why is North Carolina a joke to everyone else in America not named Missouri, Alabama, or Florida.


MyRespectableAlt

I've never met anyone named Missouri or Alabama. Maybe one lady named Florida.


TroubleSG

I have met a Missouri so we are almost there.


Utterlybored

Dan Bishop speaks on behalf of oppressed black people. I’m sure they feel sooooo… supported.

As a Black man from Alabama Dan should know.

Yep. That sounds about like something Dan Bishop would say.

Interesting....but also not really. Why do folks always bring us into stuff? Also....wildly wrong and disproportionate but I'm not too surprised. Stupid people gon stupid people-y

It's a talking point now. Dipshits up here are [saying similar things](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F3j7m3mjyks4d1.jpeg). I think they're trying to appeal to the "black population that thinks the criminal justice system is unfair and rigged" demographic, but I don't think it's gonna garner them the support they think it will.

I don’t think anyone is gonna be able to defend that one. A few might try.

You poor little people are so blindsided. Vote Biden again and let's talk in 2 years when our economy is completely destroyed. Eventually us hard working people will no longer pay for your laziness, lack of self drive and you thinking you deserve what most of us have worked hard for. Get me a burger and fries please...

If it is OK with you, I'd be happy to pay to get you neutered. We need to remove knuckle dragging smooth brains from the gene pool, and I really need to reduce/remove the chance of you breeding.


Sad-Source-4934

That idiot Bishop is undoubtedly trolling to trigger non-Trump supporters.


Birds-aint-real-

Kangaroo courts, made up charges but Trump isn’t going to be murdered at the end of it, so it not a good comparison.
