    Please let him fucking pick Noem - I’d love to see the entire GOP voting base placed on animal abuse watchlists.

      Many of them are open white supremacists and a number of them are convicted insurrectionists. I like animals too, but animal abuser seems to be lower on the “horrible” list than those two other categories which are not only well represented, but celebrated among the GOP ranks.

        Many, but not all.

        It only takes a few percent of a political party to reject a candidate to tip the election one way or another.

        Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

        It’s about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

          I fear more for minority children at the hands of white supremacists than an animal in the hands of a an animal abuser, and I like animals. To me there’s a deeper depravity when a human looks at another human, seeing just the color of their skin, and decides that they are lessor or worse.

            I would bet the overlap between animal abusers and bigots is significant, because there’s a consistent lack of empathy and sadism required for both.

      I am so conflicted… On one side a serial tax dodger, rapist and traitor running with a literal puppy killer (and proud of it) and on the other side and older president who follows the law…

      What is more American? Who should I vote for?
