    It doesn’t matter. It won’t compel any of these mouth-breathing, lazy bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL retards to go out and vote Democrat. Nothing will.

      There are large number of Puerto Ricans in many swing states (+ important downballot races), and Republicans have been trying to court their vote. This isn’t doing them any favors

      Peurto Ricans by state

      • Pennsylvania: 450k
      • North Carolina: 100k
      • Wisconsin: 65k
      • Michigan: 50k
      • Florida: 1.1 million
      • New York: 1 million

      It doesn’t even have to change minds all that much to matter. If any trump-leaning Puerto Ricans just don’t turnout, it matters a lot

        Of course I hope you are right, but if after the past decade and everything that has happened, that has been said, this election seems to be in a dead heat instead of Harris/Waltz winning by anything other than a landslide, I hold no illusions about the intelligence and decency of the “average” american voter, these people are already dead inside, or at least not too far removed from illiterate medieval peasants, easily dazzled by bullshit and god-kings with magic political wands… abraca-fucking-dabra.
