US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

The Pope weighs in on the American presidential election.

Pope Francis criticizes Trump and Harris and says voters must choose between ‘lesser of two evils’​

Pope Francis on Friday described the choice US voters must make in the presidential election as one between the “lesser of two evils,” deeming former President Donald Trump’s anti-migrant policies and Vice President Kamala Harris’ support of abortion rights as both being “against life.”

“One must choose the lesser of two evils. Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know,” Francis said during a press conference on the papal plane, referring to Harris and Trump. “Everyone with a conscience should think on this and do it.”

Francis has been more vocal about politics than his predecessors and has moved to make the Catholic Church more open. While he has consistently and strongly defended the Catholic Church’s teaching that abortion is the deliberate destruction of a human life, Francis has also insisted it cannot be isolated from other issues concerning human life, including immigration.

“To send migrants away, to leave them wherever you want, to leave them … it’s something terrible, there is evil there. To send away a child from the womb of the mother is an assassination, because there is life. We must speak about these things clearly,” he said.

Francis has previously weighed in on political issues, signaling more progressive stances by allowing priests to forgive abortions, authorizing blessings for same-sex couples and repeatedly warning about climate change.

He has challenged Catholic bishops in the US who have insisted that abortion is the “pre-eminent” issue, arguing that the plight of migrants is also about the defense of life. In 2016, Francis described then-presidential candidate Trump’s plan to build a wall to stop migrants from crossing the US-Mexico border as “not Christian.”

And when bishops were debating in 2021 whether to deny communion to public figures who support abortion rights, including President Joe Biden, Francis urged them to make their decisions from a “pastoral” viewpoint and not a political one. The pope has said he has never denied communion to anyone.

Francis has criticized couples who choose to have pets rather than children, aligning with views expressed by Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, a converted Catholic who has derided women without kids as “childless cat ladies” and described those in the country’s “leadership class” who don’t have children as “more sociopathic.”

US Catholics also have a range of views. According to Pew Research, 52% of Catholic registered voters describe themselves as being or leaning Republican, while 44% say they are or lean Democrat.

Catholic voters were split in 2020 election, with 50% voting for Biden and 49% supporting Trump, according to Pew. But a majority of Catholics — 61% — believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

if anyone can adequately explain to me the absolute obsession with lidl drip and how every single thing is their fault i will give you $100 and a month with your name colored whatever you want

Being genuine, she follows you a lot around the site. That's it. That's what makes the retards mad. You post, then she does. People think something is there even if nothing actually is. It's the mystery box.

 

[Lidl Drip]

It was a reference to Lidl Drip arguing the same thing earlier in the thread, less an obsession, more a callback to something fresh in mind that she did about... two hours ago? She approached from an angle of Trump doing it because Loomer is a groupie and not because she's attractive.

It was @JaneThough who originally said she believes they are fucking in the Loomer thread. I just find the pictures very convincing, why does this upset you guys so much? They are appearing weirdly close hugging each other with full body contact in several pictures. And also it would be incredibly funny if it was true. Do you hate fun speculation?

She gives trashcan stickers and doesn’t like men all too much.

I'll give ya two guesses. First one don't count

Here's a hint. Look real close at the face. And imagine some extra plastic

 

[draggs]

can you elaborate or is this just a logical nonsequitor?

i cant explain any of it

why she had that stretch where she did the stray voltage tactic in community infighting threads when people were shitposting on you (i dont know if she still does, i think she stopped?)

why it drives people up a wall forever and ever

it's a mystery of new zealand aviculture that may never be explained

all i know it obsesses the burger boiling crew even more than people here and makes them say funny retarded things in their greasy pot

Looks like there's a snake in the garden.

Every Catholic needs to remember who is sending Feds into Catholic churches to spy on them.

 

[derpherp2]

You know when I saw you fuckers were talking about who's fucking who like a bunch of retarded fujos I thought it couldn't get any worse.

But I'm sure being horny while in a thread about politics doesn't come off as weird, at all.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Jesus fucking christ reddit is insufferable to browse right now.

I don't consider myself right leaning and it's just anti Trump on every fucking sub.

It's wild, I may have actually lost a friend to TDS since the debate and the Haitian thing. I may have to agree with those who said he actually won the debate, it's like he hit them with something slow burning and they're just increasingly losing their minds.

 

[TheDarknessGrows]

Why do you guys hate lidl drip and why have you dragged Null here?

Fuck all of you that did this.

 

[Null]

burger boiling crew

cute name

 

[Quarterback Rex Grossman]

All this energy wasted on Loomer when Faith Goldy exists. Disgusting .

 

[Preacher ✝]

Oh boy, I wonder how @Preacher ✝ is going to spin this one.

I don't think it needs spinning. From the standpoint of Catholic morals neither candidate gets particularly high marks.

Harris is a whore who supports abortion. Trump is an adulterer and a protestant.

What's the controversy? Did you want him to make an endorsement? That never happens.

wouldn't the pious position be to encourage people not to vote?

dw if your pastor doesn't love Israel he will send the feds to spy on your church as well, and deport the pastor if he's foreign! This is america damnit, we only wanna be replaced LEGALLY and by people who love god's chosen people!

I look around and I see leftists going YOOO CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT TRUMP SAID THAT’S CRAZY AMERICAN POLITICS IS SO CRAZY OH MY GOD I CAN’T-

When it’s a problem they themselves invented.

These racketeers always cause problems and point fingers at anyone calling them out. Pretending even if a problem exists It Is A gOoD tHiNG. Call it cope but I think evictions to make room for cat-cutters was a bridge too far. No power dynamics for animals. You can’t point at a cat and say it has white privilege.

In solidarity for their Haitian and leftist pals..

In Houston, that's still probably Haitians, just by way of NOLA.

It's Laura Loomer from 2016 for anyone wondering.

Ok I'll leave, just one last post.
