I think you all know where I stand in the next election. But let me take the alternative viewpoint for a moment.
Let's say you are a Republican and consider yourself a conservative. Let's say you believe that Trump wasn't good, but for Biden is worse. Or, perhaps you are just flat-out pro-Trump.
Consider that Trump, today, Tuesday 9 January 2024, sat in a court room where his attorney, operating on his behalf, at first gymnastically and then semi-directly, said that yes, Donald Trump can shoot someone on 5th avenue and get away with it. That yes, if the President does it it's not illegal. That the execution of law and justice actually has to be held to a "higher" standard -- that of the composure of the politics of the Senate.
This is the guy you're voting for. You're voting for someone that just made an argument that not just he himself, but his former and currently sought-after office, SHOULD have this right and ability. To do anything as long as the Senate doesn't remove him. Anything.
If you think I'm being hyperbolic, consider that the questions asked were "can he order Seal Team 6 to murder an opponent," "can he sell state secrets" and "pardons," and similar tyrannical, fascist, completely illegal, unethical, and immoral acts? And the John Sauer's answer, albeit with many hastily-spat words, was yes.
Don't vote for this. And don't throw your vote away by voting for a write-in or third party.
Yes, I'm making this election a "single-issue" election, because this issue is literally every issue forever for the United States.
Democracy. Where America stands in the world. Abortion. Women's rights. Trans rights. Gay rights. Human rights. The concept of rights in general. Fossil fuels. Climate change. Tax breaks for the wealthy.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR ISSUE OR STANCE IS, DO NOT VOTE FOR THE GUY WHO OPENLY ARGUES FOR ABSOLUTE ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY LEGALLY, EVER, AND WITHOUT REVIEW.
[Editorial] TWH’s editor-in-chief, Manny Tejeda Moreno, looks forward to 2024 through a review of the documentary “The Mission,” whose story of a Christian missionary killed by an uncontacted tribe unwilling to be converted portends a continued rise in spiritual violence.
Hey, Donald, you ∆ümßå$$!
Those who are not U.S. citizens CAN'T vote in a U.S. presidential election. But I'm sure you already know this, proving you're just intentionally gaslighting. On the other hand, if you really didn't know this, you ARE a complete ¡m߀¢¡£€
Anderson v. Griswold, ruling that Trump is ineligible to appear on Colorado’s Republican primary ballot, is about 200 pages. I’m attaching it here, with my annotations, to help folks through the material. I’ve highlighted different sections in different colors and underlined or otherwise indicated particularly important passages. All the opinions are clear and important to read for yourself, whether or not you are a lawyer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13peW_zaZVZOcbL_mlhdEagIdEUS-Dxck/view?usp=drivesdk#LawFedi#Jan6#2024#PresidentialElection
Presidential elections once in 4 years with allowance of 2nd term is too much. 4-8 years is too long - it is period kings were reigning in the past. If we want more true democracy - we need make it that a person can be a country president only for 4 years with re-election hold every 2 years. And actually even 4 years is too much, better if we will have new president every 2 years without allowing any re-election. Maybe more people should talk about it.
1/ Today the #2024Election kicks off in earnest with #JoeBiden’s re-election bid announcement
There is 560 days to the #PresidentialElection. Much will happen, conditions will change but it as #Biden suggests a continuation of the battle for the soul of America
I’ll use this thread to comment periodically on the election over the next 80 weeks. It’s a long road to #ElectionDay2024, but the stakes couldn’t be higher
However, as I am presently listening to #RachelMaddows's great #podcast series, #Ultra, for a 2nd time, I need to tell you that "#America" (i.e. the #US), has been much more stupid not even 100 years earlier.
What is more, as happened with #WarOfTheWorlds while being broadcast on the #radio, I would have thought it to be fiction.
I have always loved #history, but I had not heard of this almost worse coup d'état than...
