As for Trump's appointments, yeah, there's a major risk there, that has little to do with the OP's question about whether the VP choice impacted people's votes. Trump would have to do something monstrously stupid for the VP pick to impact people's votes, like picking fucking Fauci as his VP or something.

Probably. I can see the MAGA base rationalizing even a Nikki Haley pick, unfortunately. So maybe I agree with you after all, that they generally don't care, but they really should.

You think I give a shit about the upvotes/downvotes of arguments on the internet? Don't attribute the random mass retardation of imbeciles to me when my opinion is clearly fucking different than what you're describing, unless me calling the guy a fearmongering retard wasn't fucking enough for you to comprehend that.

I'm not telling you that you should care about upvotes. Only that he represented more than a 'fearmongering retard'. He believed, in good faith, that Trump would not have much of a chance, and that if he won, he would not accomplish much anyway.

All I know is that you live somewhere in Europe, and I don't generally care about their elections outside of a passing glance at the results, and I certainly don't get involved in any major discussions about their shit. The biggest opinion I'll have on it is "good for them" when shit works out or "that's a shame" when it doesn't.

And we appreciate that.
