Help me! I'm stupid!

[BaronChocula]

Please help me. I’m really stupid. The election is coming and I don’t know whether to vote for the guy who is going on trial for trying to conduct a coup against the U.S. or the guy who lowered the cost of pharmaceuticals for medicare patients. I’m just really stupid. I don’t know.

I’m super stupid. I might vote for the guy who suggested taking bleach might help fight COVID or the guy who expanded NATO and restored faith in American leadership among our allies. I’m stupid. I just don’t know.

I’m stupid in every sense of the word. Should I vote for the guy who said he was going to pass an infrastructure bill and never did in four years or the guy who passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill in under a year. You wouldn’t believe how stupid I am.

I don’t have words for how stupid I am. I don’t know if I should vote for the guy who’s been called “dumb” or a “moron” by numerous former staffers or the guy who passed the first gun safety legislation in 30 years. I’m stupid like the sun is hot.

It’s all so confusing. Or should I vote for Jill Stein? I’m stupid.

1. Sadly, I think that you are beyond help. Perhaps if you stuck a wet finger in an

electrical outlet, your few remaining braincells might arc???

[BaronChocula]

3. I'm very stupid

That was a compliment, right?

[Karadeniz]

2. HA !!!!!

[Think. Again.]

4. Maybe it isn't such a great idea to...

...express things that way on a specifically Democratic Party website.

Sometimes we forget that we really should be courting and welcoming the undecided, the young, and the newly enlightened ex-repubs.

Edit to add: But honestly, under it all, I'm vermin.

[Elessar Zappa]

18. This is a place to vent and commiserate with other Democrats.

We don’t have to be convincing people here.

[Think. Again.]

21. True, we don't have to do anything...

...but our posts are public, and even show up in google searches quite a bit.

I guess how we each handle that depends on our own priorities.

[Rebl2]

28. Have noticed they

Show up on google

[liberalhistorian]

31. Nope!

It's time for Dems to start taking off the gloves, like Durbin did during the judiciary committee meeting earlier this week! And if anyone with more than two brain cells is still even considering voting for TFG at this point, then there's really no getting through to them anymore.

[Think. Again.]

32. I agree we should be hitting hard...

...at the elected republican elected officials who are screwing over even their republican-voting constituents.

I just think that this coming election is too important to take lightly by insulting and chasing away anyone and everyone who isn't already a hardcore Democratic voter.

There's a good reason why the rightwing trolls try so hard to cause division among the American public.

[Hugin]

25. Your edit reminded me...

To add “lazy” to the vermin in my signature line. I keep getting told it’s one of my leading attributes by the MAGAts who know.

[GuppyGal]

5. Hello ! I'm dumb.....nice to meet you !

Maybe we should start a club ?!?!??!!?

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Sorry, sir. I think you have a terminal case of stupidity....it's a type that actively attacks the rational thinking

portion of your brain. I'd avoid operating heavy machinery.

[ret5hd]

11. maybe heavy machinery is just the ticket!

[brush]

7. Nice. If only voters other than us on DU could see this.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Thought The Exact Same

Alas, the OP probably couldn't find a newspaper in the country that would use it for an Op-Ed.
Too bad, though.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. The power of sharing posts on DU.

I jettisoned friends with Republicanism a long time ago. I have no idea what their lives are like now, but mine is certainly better,

[Think. Again.]

22. But they can...

....all of our posts, and all of the reply posts we make on any given thread are all wide open to the public and to non-members to read.

Our posts and threads even show up on google searches if the search keywords fit the subject.

All those "lurkers" who we see join us as members after a time have all been here all along and so are thousands of other non-member viewers.

[brooklynite]

9. You're not stupid...and you shouldn't claim others are

Have as much fun as you want here, but when dealing with voters in the real world, claiming that people who are uncomfortable voting for Biden are “stupid” is a guaranteed way to lose the electiin.

[Celerity]

10. +1

[calimary]

16. And another +1.

You can't be too careful when guarding against The Stupid. Especially when you're dealing with The WILLFULLY Stupid.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. -1

The OP is talking about the 30% that get interviewed at Trump rallies. No amount of rational discussion on the facts are going to change their minds. You know that....they are the terminally stupid. They will die thinking Trump was a great business man and President. No facts to the contrary will be considered.

While this might have been better posted in the Lounge, points for a creative OP.

[not fooled]

33. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sad but true...recently began talking politics with a maggot neighbor, the first one I've spoken with in depth. He is catastrophically ignorant and immune to facts, reason, and logic. Yep, he says the US was "perfect" under red don. Nothing will change his mind. And, he's a fox watcher. His brain is gone.

[BaronChocula]

14. Maybe this post just isn't for you

And I'm fine with that.

But thanks for your meaningful invitation to have fun!

[LudwigPastorius]

15. But, the really old guy wants islamic terrorist drag queen caravans to illegally cross the border so they...

can teach toddlers about gaysex!

(...and the big orange guy hates the same people that I do, so Ima vote for him.)

[Mr. Evil]

17. Excellent post!

"Stupid" may not be the best operative adjective but, it does get the point across. Maybe 'confused?' Anyway, Jill Stein and Cornell West aren't running for president to win. They know beyond any shadow of a doubt that they are not going to win. So, why are they running? Why would some people rationalize voting for them? At least some of them have to realize that doing so could have extremely bad ramifications on the overall electoral outcome.

My thoughts are that they just enjoy being thorns in your side. They want publicity. They want acknowledgement. They were here from a thousand years later (like something they said was unearthed 1000 years from now and seen as profound). I reduce these type of people that live to hear themselves speak and that's about it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, whatever you hear in the next year, flush it with your latest piss and shit. You know what kind of man Joe Biden is. Vote for him. It's that fucking simple. He is a good (not perfect) man. And has already proven to be a damn good president!

[Kennah]

19. This earns a ten. Brilliant satire.

[ornotna]

20. Stupid post

[GiqueCee]

23. A very humorous...

... and insightful way to illuminate the stark contrasts between those who depend on facts and careful reasoning to make critical decisions, and those who gleefully wallow in blatant fabrications and implausible conspiracy theories to justify their steadfast refusal to let truth burst their bubble of bigotry. The comedian, Ron White, summed it up perfectly with, "Ya can't fix stupid!"
Good one, Baron!

[BaronChocula]

37. You mean Tater Salad?

Ron White is funny AF. And some of his (older) material obliquely challenges homophobia without really discussing sexuality. I haven't seen any of his recent stuff though.

[GiqueCee]

42. I haven't seen Ron either...

... I recall his association with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy some years back, and I think he had a Netflix special or two, but other than that, nada. Very funny guy!

[wiggs]

24. CNN will be interested to interview you as a typical voter. nt

[Marcus IM]

26. It's dumb to pander to RW MiamiCuban exiles

... who vote GOP and for collective punishment for their families back home.

I am stoopid too. So I guess I'm all in.

[peppertree]

41. What's worse - they presume to dictate policy for ALL of Latin America

Often resulting in disaster (like Argentina's Macri) or at least a serious backfire (like Brazil's Bolsonaro, Ecuador's Lasso, or Colombia's Duque).

[Marcus IM]

43. Who is the "they" you're referencing?

[peppertree]

44. The same people you were referring to, Marcus: Right-wing Cuban exiles

Of course though, the RW Latin American lobby includes many nationalities these days:

Colombians tied to paramilitaries, Venezuelans who just want someone to overthrow Maduro, dictatorship-nostalgic Argentines, etc.

The GOP's idea of "ethnic outreach," you might say.

[Marcus IM]

45. OK. Gotcha.

[peppertree]

46. +1

[blm]

27. Let's make this viral.

[Think. Again.]

29. That might not be a good look for the Democratic party, though.

[keithbvadu2]

30. Fred Sanford doesn't get your satire.

[IA8IT]

34. Face to face with drunk a**hole Jill Stein voter last night his parents/grandparents wonderful Democrats.

Only Bernie Sanders for him forever I guess. He never never never ever should have told me he voted for her.

[willamette]

35. Wait ... the sun is hot?

[SouthernDem4ever]

36. Well you can start by not attending Dump rallies

Then quit listening to assholes on the radio like Stave Bannon. Quit reading Qanon crap on Xitter and don't lick your fingers and stick them in a light socket. After you make those milestones, we'll talk.

Always remember this: Fox news isn't really news.

[Lunabell]

38. If you were REALLY stupid,

you'd write in susan sarandon, lol.

[twodogsbarking]

39. If you were really stupid you wouldn't be smart enough to know you are stupid.

It's the smart people that think they know eveything you have to watch out for.

[Rizen]

40. Thank you!

People really are dumb as shit.
