Democracy is when you can choose different levels of hitler as your leader
DLoH (Different Levels of Hitler) claims to be ironic but whatever they are - they are the worst indie band ever.
Hmmm, might need to get my meter calibrated
Wait wait wait, is there actually a candidate named vivek? This whole time I genuinely thought it was elaborate morrowwind shitposting…
vivek: im gonna CHIM
Slavoj Vivek (first thing that pops into my mind when I see that)
I’m not sure who’s AI voice with who’s quotes is funnier there
Do both, workshop it
New username idea
there is, but he’s actually much more like sheogorath in fact
He strikes me as more of a Peryite than a Sheogorath
Peryite the type of Daedra to upload reactionary video essays on YouTube about the latest Ubisoft game using a anthro bespectacled dragon wearing a suit as an avatar with various angry expressions it rapidly swaps between while talking
Not anymore, he dropped out lol
It was, because CHIM
we need Dagoth Ur Ramaswamy
“You can’t sit home. If you’re sick as a dog, you say, ‘Darling, I gotta make it,’” Trump said at an Indianola rally on Sunday. “Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it, remember.”
Trump really said
What does he have against dogs lmao
Doesn’t he have a cleanliness thing? And someone that lacking in empathy and interest in the wellbeing of others might not get the appeal of dogs.
Assuming this isn’t a bit, “sick as a dog” is a common expression in the US.
Trump definitely has a thing about dogs. He’s constantly comparing people to dogs, and he’s notably uncomfortable around dogs.
He said that an ISIS leader “died like a dog” too so it’s definitely a running theme
I honestly have no idea why a Republican would vote for DeSantis when Trump is on the ballot. Do they think Trump is too frou-frou? Are they concerned with how efficiently their political enemies are harmed?
nerdy fascists
reagan republicans who think trump is a rude dipshit
I’ve been observing two kinds of Republicans who vote for DeSantis over Trump. The “he’s rude and embarrassing, and problematic” group who cares more about optics, and the “he disappointed us and didn’t accomplish all the things he promised he would” group that wants a guy who’s a more principled fascist and will go all in on the culture war like in Florida.
I have a couple of these people as coworkers. I guess for them they want similar policies as what he offers but, by someone more competent-looking or who looks less embarrassing than Trump.
looks less embarrassing than Trump.
Have they seen Desantis?
They don’t see these people the way we do. Not enough exposure. They don’t know he’s a carb-counting freak who clearly failed out of remedial people skills. They just see a new vessel to use to trigger the libs who won’t be too bogged down in personal controversy to be distracted from that the way Trump is right now with his legal issues.
an expression that makes you wonder if his balls are being crushed
Ron has been doing racism and violence and sedition as hard as he can but it just wasn’t enough.
It’s the people who like Trump’s cruelty, but think (more or less correctly) that all his personal vendettas, raging narcissism, and legal trouble get in the way of him enacting that cruelty. They want someone who is more about the cruelty and less about the spectacle.
LOL Stupid fucking country. All those candidates fucking SUCK
frfr. my lib relatives love nikki haley bc apparently MSM is trying to get dems to support her. from what ive seen, she is a typical republican except she isnt a rabid pro-lifer (shes probably still against abortion tho, so idk)
I love it when libs just stan Republican politicians because the TV man told them to. I had to talk my mother down from the merits of Chris Christie after a week of lifeline puff pieces from CNN on how “tough” he is against Trump.
she is a typical republican except she isnt a rabid pro-lifer (shes probably still against abortion tho, so idk)
I could be wrong but from what I understood she was opposed to introducing a bill for a national abortion ban because it wouldn’t pass. I think her main opposition was strategic.
I think her main opposition was strategic.
She should’ve ran as a Democrat then, going against their voter bases’ wants and needs in order to be “strategic” only to eat shit and die is their thing.
Her platform is Hillary Clinton’s basically
Afaik she is anti-abortion but wants exceptions for a number of things. This was the standard republican position before Roe was overturned. Still probably the majority position but the nutzo evangelicals and trad caths have become all about removing any exceptions and prosecuting the woman involved in an abortion with murder, so Haley might as well be pro-choice to them.
It’s funny how the media played her up and she still came in behind meatball. They don’t realize that people just lie on phone polls, it’s why Ben Carson was the front runner for a bit early in 2016.
to be fair if you are running against trump in a republican primary you are either trying to do some stature building for '28 (haley and potentially vivek) grifting (rip christie) or a dumb ass hole (ron). reps don’t have a super deep bench but anyone with actual experience and brains is sitting this election out so they don’t have to alienate the base by running against trump. if he wasn’t running i think the field would look different. then again i probably would have said the same thing but about hillary instead in 2016 and look how the 2020 dem primary turned out, loser city.
What is happening inside Vivek’s head that he thinks the gop will vote for someone who isn’t a cristian fascist?
Yes, all the candidates in the more reactionary party are bad, a priori.
Lol Vivek did Great Replacement Theory out loud onstage and still didn’t even crack third
It’s kind of hard to sell replacement to the hogs when the salesman isn’t white and he’s not a Christian.
Damn. He didn’t even find jesus? Talk about not doing your prep work.
He must be using politics to grift. Right-wing pols or political operatives need to find Jesus or pretend to.
Hailey converted to Christianity when she was ~25 and she left Sikhism. If I wasn’t cynical - I might think she actually believed in Christianity, Jesus, and the rest of it. But I have to wonder if her conversion simply being a tool for her to get ahead.
Haley converted to Christianity in 1997. She and her husband regularly attend the United Methodist Church. She also attends Sikh services once or twice a year. She visited the Harmandir Sahib with her husband in 2014 during her visit to India. During a Christianity Today interview, when asked whether or not she hopes her parents convert to Christianity, Haley responded, “What I hope is that my parents do what’s right for them.”
They interviewed Iowa voters and some of the quotes really make you yearn for the warm embrace of nuclear fire.
“I’m not a biggot but I don’t like his name and he makes me think about 9/11.”
Turns out being an explicit white supremacist on stage isn’t enough to overcome being a minority. Something I’m sure republican minorities will figure out any day now.
He’s gonna be president again. There is no need to pay attention to any of this. Trump had got this locked.
Either or both of them could still die very publicly. Don’t give up hope!
While they aren’t immortal, there is something deeply unnatural about these zombies still walking the earth. Yes, the best medicine that money can buy is quite powerful, but cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and various other degenerative diseases are so incredibly common at their age and are mostly irreversible.
My wonderful grandmother lies, bed ridden, barely conscious in a care home, waiting for the end. And these freaks stumble around, withering before our eyes, yet always getting up again to inject a little more desperation and destruction into the world. It’s so bleak and I don’t know if I can stand another round of this charade.
It’s really sick. People like Fienstein and Pelosi, rich beyond imagination, keeping their claws dug in to the seat of power until they literally die, and using their last moments to make the world worse. Just sick. I cannot imagine what is happening in their heads. The Democrats, specifically, being unable and unwilling to train up successors just mystifies me. All i can figure is that their politics begin and end at I got mine fuck you, and they don’t consider bringing up successors to keep the system stable and pursue long term goals.
There is no “Democratic Party”. It’s not a party. It’s a privately held corporation. The members that compose it are all self-interested careerists in a cut-throat rat race. There is no common project, no shared goals, no unifying principles. Just a loose coalition of opportunists
Strong agree
Yeah he will be a strong contender and possibly even win, but I would never say he is that far ahead(or at all) of Biden. I think people here learned nothing from the red wave flopping last time and I am already betting early on people here will be surprised Americans are all mostly genocidal freaks looking for any excuse to support war specialy when you almost turn it into some holy war over “American values” against the savage hordes of Russians and Muslims.
The primary issue is still the economy but there is time for Biden to make and or promise concessions before the election still. With all that said Trump offers basicaly nothing over Biden other than maybe swapping Russian/Muslism for Chinese but Biden can press the China button too so idk.
Less people are gonna come out for Biden than last time and most trimomguys are still trump guys. It’s all vibes, no one really cares about issues.
This is how i feel about it. I don’t think its a lock either way and as of now i think it will be close. I think less people will turn out for Biden than in 2020, but a lot of libs are still going to turn out to vote against Trump firstvand foremost regadless of anything else. And you’re right that to a lot of libs the genocide is a plus and Biden is the most progressive president since FDR
I think it’s less about the genocide and more about how much hate has grown towards Biden and the Democrats since 2020. New York almost went red in the recent gubernational election, something that it hasn’t come close to being for a while. The overall attitude in Upstate New York is similar to how it was around 2016. Most of the complaints are about economy being bad compared to how it was with Trump, money going to Israel and Ukraine, wokeism and what they perceive to be the pushing of trans issues.
You’re right about Trump not exactly blowing Biden away. Plenty of libs are primed to vote against Trump and the project 2024 propaganda has worked up some people in marginalized groups enough to go and vote against him. But Biden is still going to see a lower voter turnout.
Biden has blown up his Arab demographic and is losing ground on other non-White demos.
Americans are all mostly genocidal freaks looking for any excuse to support war
Support war that directly involves the American military. I don’t think Americans care about proxy wars. They all want their Michael Bay movie type wars - their brave American troops bravely vanquishing the cowardly enemy who hates our freedom. Americans absolutely love rallying around the troops and pretending we’re all in this together blah blah blah. Neither Ukraine nor Gaza fit that bill, though. Most Americans don’t want to give Ukraine any money and Biden’s support for Israel is what’s driving his recent nosedive in popularity.
I have doubts. Brandon could very easily turn on the money printer. Market is as an inflation compensation package or something.
Brandon could’ve easily secured his victory at any moment in the past 4 years. The orange man is the easiest election opponent in history. But he hasn’t, because he sucks ass, and he won’t, because he sucks ass.
Bingo. Biden’s entire presidency seems to have been actively trying to piss off most of his base. Even Trump gave people more COVID money.
Sadly, it usually works. I’m still hearing people say ‘you still gotta vote for Biden man’. I thought enthusiastically supporting a genocide for all the world to see would put an end to that (actually, I didn’t).
All Biden has to do to not lose is stop actively pushing off the people that elected him last time. He barely won last time and has actively been shitting on anybody who cares about labor rights and unions, the environment, or enthusiastically supporting a genocide.
There’s legit a lot of people who want to hold their nose and vote for Biden and tell themselves maybe it’ll get better but Biden keeps coming out to explicitly tell them no, it won’t get better, fuck you, vote for me.
It’s that last part coming from the mouths of smug PMC Dems that is already worn out. I get right wingers when they say they want to see libs cry because a small part of me feels the same way. Either way election night is gonna be fun
Nah, last minute works when it comes to the money machine. Remember, Americans don’t have object permanence.
Brandon could very easily turn on the money printer.
He might promise to do that (but even that is doubtful). I think Brandon will continue to do absolutely nothing.
He’ll punch left and talk about how the stock market is fine. I remember the first debate in 2020 he was bragging about how we’d never have socialized healthcare in this country…during COVID.
lol he would never do anything to help anyone it’s against his dna
If all I do is read the results of each primary and read the thread here, it will be an approximate 1000% decrease in time wasted from 2016 and 2020.
The only thing that can stop Trump is lawfare and legal issues, which will be seen by Republicans as a destruction of democracy and yet again stealing an election.
Every time the news pretended any of these clowns over the Big Wet Boy, It further reinforced that the US’s dEmOcRaCy and Media apparatus is basically kabuki theater for people who barely achieved object permanance
Yup all the reas9nable responsible liberals who constantly tell us we’re not serious and don’t know how things work explaining why this means Trump isn’t going to win.
They are just trying to do “The Secret” and will another reality into existence
We don’t talk enough about the sheer poetry of the two leading Republican candidates being named Ronald McDonald
I don’t wanna go back to the whitehouse help
We don’t need him, mlady, I can take you to a
deterioratingnicestrip malldowntownwendysdiner instead
Wait for my black 1996 Lincoln Town Car
with torn seats, power windows that don’t roll down, and rapidly eroding clearcoating
my vibe based analysis is that trump is going to win because he reminds people of pre-covid times
my vibe is that the funniest possible thing to happen is Trump wins the popular vote but Biden wins the electoral vote, immediately dies, then republicans call for ending both the electoral college and the presidential line of succession
And democrats agree with zero concessions to help the country move forward (and by forward I mean to the right)
Trump also won 98 out of Iowa’s 99 counties, losing Johnson County by a single vote
I feel like that’s even more humiliating to Haley than if she lost even there, having your only victory be that slim can only be explained by the united harmony of the universe or whatever deciding to weaponize its pity towards her
Heres how De Santis can still win
By jumping into a punji pit to secure the Vietnamese vote.
It’s over for Binkley heads
I really thought it was gonna be Binkley 2024
who?
Assuming this isn’t a bit, this guy ig?
it’s sort of a bit – I saw his name in the above image but I’d legitimately never heard of him. I stand by my “who?”
here’s how the tribunal temple can still win
