I received this despicable text message guised as an impartial election guide.

It claims Kamala Harris wants to mandate taking guns away. Trump doesn't. She wants to babies to be killed who had survived failed abortions. Trump doesn't. And many other lies that misrepresent Kamala Harris, sorry, I mean outright lie. I can only assume these texts are being sent to millions of voters and many voters will take these lies as fact. How can democracy survive when one side will do absolutely anything to devieve voters?

Allred wants taxpayer money to pay for sex change operations! The thing is, repukes cannot run on their actual agenda so fear and ignorance is all they have to play with. And yes it works on stupid fucking people way too often.

Why do you think others would not have the same reaction? Are they not as smart as you?

I wish Kamala would make a rebuttal ad that it's a law that was also followed in Trump years
