I’ve been watching a YouTube series called “the presidents play d&d” it’s fucking hilarious. Everytime I see shit like this I think of Donna the barbarian yelling “wake up sleepy Joe”.
Choosing not to vote is choosing to support the candidate you like least. Rationalize it all you want, but we have a 2 party system that you won’t fix by choosing not to participate.
Hell yeah, so if I hate them both the same then they both get my vote? But I was already planning on voting for the PSL, are you saying I get 3 votes? If not voting for biden is a vote for trump, then that also means that not voting for trump is a vote for biden. Do my not-biden and not-trump votes cancel each other out? Does the PSL get all 3 votes??? American democracy is so confusing…
Do you really, honestly believe that Trump and Biden are equivalent? One is imperfect in many ways, while the other is a literal fascist being backed by people who are explicitly planning to run the US as a Christofascist oligarchy.
The goal for one side is for this to be the last election we ever get. Don’t hand them victory because Biden isn’t your ideal candidate.
If trump is truly an existential threat to democracy and our country, biden should order the military to assassinate him. He’d be 100% justified in doing so. You’d shoot hitler to protect democracy, right? that’d be a surefire way to get my vote, tbh. I voted for biden as the “harm reduction” candidate in 2020 and it really seems like that blew up in our collective faces big time, so I’m gonna avoid stepping on that rake again.
Honestly, being impressed that someone called someone else “six year old” is really actually embarrassing. There are better takes… if this is the high water mark we are fucked.
Nobody is calling this the high water mark. It’s a joke flipping the expectation of a comment on him being old to an argument about the lack of maturity of his opponent. Pretty standard politics joke.
Is it? Because unless “I don’t like him all that much but he’s better than Trump” is what you consider “swallowing Biden’s cock,” it’s not what I’ve observed here.
Biden is someone you’ll let come over if it’s a large party and ya don’t have to spend a lot of face time with, not someone you have over and let fuck your wife. That’s Obama.
Going to Palestine would do nothing but add more meat to the grinder. Action in the US is far more effective since the US is the one funding israel’s campaign of genocide. I used to think genocide was an absolutely forbidden red line, but it turns out people are actually quite dismissive when it’s actually happening. Even worse, many here are sucking biden’s dick while he supports genocide with full force.
I would say that Trump is like that 14 year old edgy idealist rebel who thinks the world is better realized under their haphazard of a vision. The one who wants to get all of their unqualified and equally inexperienced friends in positions of power who all think they’re better than officially qualified individuals with the experience.
That is him in a nutshell and we’ve seem him practice exactly that.
I’ve posted this article many times, and I’ll keep posting it.
Donnie was given a golden opportunity to get in good with the real Manhattan elites, the 0.0001% and he ended up making them despise him through his own stupidity, greed, and arrogance.
Nah, he has ideals like standing up to China and kicking out Mexicans. He just abandons them in a blink of an eye if they are inconvenient to his own interests, just like a 14-year old.
Somehow many people think that they were better off with the six year old. And because the fed was not attempting to tighten credit so much with Trump as president, they may not be wrong.
The average voter probably is most concerned about the effect of the economy on him or herself. If you were laid off because tight credit caused your company to fold, or to have refinance expensively, or had to pay a large dividend or do a stock buyback to compete with other capital investments, to you things haven’t been an improvement. Most voters don’t understand the idea of the rule of law, but they definitely understand being out of work, or being forced to take a lower paying job or having to work in the gig economy. Do you wonder why Trump has supporters? If you don’t want to bother to understand the voters, they don’t really care about what you think either. I think Trump is poison to our country, but I also know that people vote for him for a reason: he at least pays lip service to what concerns them.
While I appreciate your overall point, I just gotta answer…
Do you wonder why Trump has supporters? If you don’t want to bother to understand the voters, they don’t really care about what you think either.
lol nobody wonders, and it’s very obviously not because of his macroeconomics. They don’t care what we think because of qualities we can’t change, not because we aren’t bothering to understand them hard enough. You’re giving them faaaaaaaaa[takes breath]aaaaaaaar too much credit.
I don’t think every Trump voter is a rabid racist, and macroeconomics do matter. They just don’t think the government, or the Democrats, or the other Republicans give a damn about them. They are alone and just want someone to tell them there’s someone to blame, and someone is going to make them pay for their suffering. Trump is their winner that champions them, or so they think, because no one else gives a shit about them. Does Biden convince them that the government really cares? Not a chance. Voting for Trump is exploiting the blind anger many people feel because of their powerlessness. If you want to win an election, you tap into that. People don’t really care what Trump says, they are desperate and angry and want to have someone pay for their suffering.
It’s the failure to understand why voters opt for Trump which is why Trump wins elections, more so than Trump’s qualities. No one cares what these voters think, and so why should they care about what you think or how you want them to vote? These people think, just not how you want them to, or have the same concerns you do. Treating them as subhuman simply pushes them into the arms of demagogues and dictators.
I agree with a lot of what you’ve said in the nested chain, but Trump didn’t have power over the fed, and macroeconomics are typically not something a president has sway over. So if you’re mearly saying the economy was better under Trump, and Biden had shit luck inheriting something that was bound to turn ugly as the economy of Covid caught up to us, sure, ok, but the way you worded it is ambiguous at best.
It’s a shame so many people are unable to see that the world is hurting economically from covid still. That food prices and inflation are a global issue. That it’s silly to pin that blame on a single individual. That so far America seems to be weathering the storm better than other prolific countries. That other than the black mark of Isreal and Palestine that overshadows his entire presidency, he’s done a lot of good domestically.
I don’t like the guy as much as the next but isn’t it common knowledge Trump never fucked with drugs or alcohol? Or am I missing what you’re referring to by spent the 80’s?
I remember hearing this, but I don’t remember the source cuz it didn’t matter to me honestly. I do think he was at least publicly straight edge. As someone with addiction issues who has spent time with lots of addicts - meth included - he doesn’t seem to have been a meth addict. He’s still a piece of shit. But let’s be honest.
He’s boomer methed out: Trump isn’t partying in the strict sense of the word, but his doctor and handlers seem to have him on all sorts of dangerous levels of shit given how jumpy he is. A lot of our parents who were medicated like this didn’t see themselves as having a problem since having it medically prescribed is viewed as legit treatment
I hate to make yet another Hitler reference with him but Hitler was the same: he didn’t partake in “recreational” use but dude’ doctor had him fucked out of his mind on cocaine and opiates in the 40s but he also famously didn’t drink
Or during the primaries with Bernie. While Bernie was bing harangued for extra medical records, Joe Biden got a free pass, despite only being a year younger.
The DNC actively sabotaged Bernie’s run. Looking at all the the facts in retrospect, I do not think he would have won. He, however, would have performed much better, and maybe pushed the overton window within the DNC left in order for Hillary to appease the segment that was pro Bernie, rather than just scoff.
I’m more optimistic about Bernie’s odds, but whatever, it’s just speculation either way. But yeah, a more prominent Bernie campaign would have done a lot of good even if he didn’t clinch the nomination. It would have pushed for a more progressive platform for whomever won.
And I’m just so tired of bad faith arguments from people acting like the DNC has no internal politics or even preferences, and that there’s nothing weird about the primary process. I once got called a conspiracy theorist for describing how the format of the primaries affects the results, even if you ignore DNC or media influence.
You could say the same of Sanders. They’re all old dudes.
But there’s a certain “will be fight for me?” attitude. And Trump’s a cranky cantankerous piece of shit who fights with everyone, while Biden seems content to let the White House run itself.
Trump’s personification of the Angry Elderly Racist American generates more passion for his campaign than Biden’s “Hey, man, why can’t we all just sit back and watch the world burn together without harshing my vibe?”
