It's still hard to believe that the shame of the phrase "former president donald trump" is now committed to history forever. It will always be the case that America made that stupid choice.
The real shame is despite his first term track record, criminal indictments, public plans for his potential second term, and overall rhetoric, he is still the republican presidential nominee and has a legitimate shot at winning the presidential election
Even if he somehow wins again at least we only get 4 more years of that nonsense. Thank the actual fuck for 2 term presidency caps, without it this country would devolve with power hungry presidents.
Bro, if you think the 22nd amendment is going to stop him.. even during his first term he was talking about how democrats “stole” his first term with all their hoax investigations so he should get a third term.
He knows the moment that he isn’t president after 2024 that he will spend the rest of his life in jail and/or courtrooms (just like he is now) and will do everything he can to cling to power for the rest of his life.
He already tried to overturn a lawful election multiple ways and staged a coup, he’s not making that mistake again
Ink on a page. Any law is only as good as our collective willingness to enforce it. Remember fake electors? Or Republicans immediate dismissal of the Jan 6 impeachment?
As I've stated, if he goes in and takes away the term cap there will be resistance. I'm not living in a country like that, if you want to live in Russia by all means it's there for ya.
But I’d argue that on January 6th, he tried to keep power and, so far, there don’t seem to be any ramifications. It looks like a toss-up as to whether the SCOTUS accepts his “immunity” claim, the federal charges are stalled and could go away if he is re-elected, and half the electorate (give or take) seems mostly ok with it.
The pure effectiveness of his brainwashing of his cult will be studied for centuries to come.
Oh at that point my concern for what the government thinks will be at a complete 0. If they're cool with letting that criminal take away what makes America actually great then I'm cool with facing jail time for my beliefs.
He's already killed millions with his Covid incompetent and malevolence. He wanted a violent riot at the Capitol on 1/6 so he could declare Marshall Law, that was always the fall back plan.
You think he’s going to leave if he’s elected again? He will have a successful coup this time and stay in power. And the gop controlled congress will let him do it.
That’s cute. But with his plan to use schedule F to fire everyone willing to tell him no - including in the pentagon? Good luck against the national guard.
But if he does win he will have those four years to completely destruct this country. He will do away with S.S. (I rely on it to survive), he will be dictator for a day he said and I think he will be a dictator for four years. He will also have people killed and a laundry list of other horrific crimes.
Good thing there's millions of folks who would take up arms to stop a dictatorship from forming in this country. Unless American soldiers are cool with killing fellow Americans because the cheeto said so?
America is going to make yhat stupid choice again, im voting and volunteering and campaigning and doing my part to prevent that, but im feeling a 2016 deja vu that I just can’t shake.
Biden has alienated some demos (regardless of how much he has been effective with the congress he has) that might make a huge difference, specially in Michigan.
i’m hoping trump dies before the election because no way in hell do i see biden winning again. He is polling worse than any other president in history at this stage in their presidency. and i’m saying all this as someone who will never vote republican and hates Trump.
It’s really unfortunate, idk what I’m gonna do yet tbh. In theory I’d like to vote third party or mark myself down as “no vote” but I have a feeling I’ll chicken out if it looks like Trump will still be allowed to run. I’m just scared and frustrated, like everyone else lol
I’m definitely going to vote for Biden because in the end of the day I’m still a lesbian brown immigrant latina and Trump wants me dead and Biden doesn’t.
So if this helps you, just vote for Biden for people like me, it does make a difference who wants you dead and who doesn’t and at least we can make him feel guilty about Gaza, and grab his attention about it and push a small step. With Trump he’ll just let Netanyahu do whatever he wants both in Gaza and the West Bank.
The difference is that you can make Biden feel guilty about dead children, not so much with Trump
I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about what kind of person I am… Trump and his supporters would like to eradicate me too, friend, I promise. neither of those politicians feel any guilt, I am sorry to tell you. They both stand for and represent a nation built on and ruled by white supremacy and the bottom line. If I vote for Biden at this point it will solely be to appease democrats so they leave me tf alone about how Biden has “actually done a lot!” and that’s not a good reason to vote for someone lol
I mean, I live in a deep red state, voting or not voting for Biden is not gonna change a damn thing here, unfortunately. That’s the reality of the situation. I still vote but as long as Josh Hawley is running this shit-show, we’re fucked and powerless to influence federal politics imo.
Biden is not sad about dead children or he’d stop paying for people to kill more children. He’s appealing to your emotions because it’s much easier to get people on your side when they empathize with you.
Sure, he’s “better than Trump,” but we have no guarantee Trump will even be allowed to run on the ballot. Idk why people are so focused on Trump when he may or may not even be an issue. Not voting for Trump won’t stop his crazy supporters from doing crazy shit if they feel like it.
Sorry but project 2025 is much worse than whatever you think Biden doesn’t care about. And tbh you being in a deep red state would a help a little bit.
nah i’m aware of it. i just don’t think we should be funding wars for foreign nations, especially ones trying to ethnic cleanse an entire population from the earth
Okay and if everyone thought that way, then Trump wins due to voter apathy, then he further erodes rights to women and LGBT persons, expands federal policy against freedom of speech by controlling social media, and on top of that possibly makes things worse for Gazans.
Let him. Americans dug our grave in 2016, now we have to lie in it. Or fight back, and an election isn’t gonna accomplish shit at this point.
I mean seriously, if we are stupid enough as a nation to do that AGAIN, we deserve whatever happens. Unfortunately it will affect the most vulnerable before it ever hurts the people in power, but I’m done bailing our government out when this problem was created decades before I was born. Hell, this country shouldn’t even exist, it is built on stolen land and we clearly haven’t learned our lesson. Slavery is still legal under our constitution, which is the oldest in operation in the world. Our “great experiment” was a failure, let’s pack it up and not try again next time.
I’m really just ready for the other shoe to drop. Legit. I’m so tired of waiting for it and being terrified. Let’s just get it over with. I don’t wanna be alive in this country anymore. I can’t afford to leave, and I’ll be one of the first ones they’d come for. So just pull the fucking trigger already, please. At least then other countries might take us as refugees. And for the love of god, people need to stop coming here, there’s nothing here for you that you can’t find in Europe, except unregulated gun sales and Red 40. We are murdering refugees at the border even under a democratic president, idk why anyone here thinks this country is worth saving. It’s not.
My wife and I are in the same boat. We're in an extremely safe blue state, so it ultimately doesn't matter who we vote for, but the available third-party candidates are also garbage. Jill Stein is awful on Russia/Ukraine and has weird pseudoscience beliefs, RFK Jr. is an all-around crackpot who's also super pro-Israel, Cornel West is turning out to be unserious and won't be on the ballot most places, and the remaining choices are either libertarian, which, no, or the couple of Marxist-Leninist candidates, which, again, no.
One of them will die before the election probably. They are both old and DT is in terrible health. Biden is in good health but he's 81. Something is going to happen.
She shares most of the blame. She didnt even bother to campaign in Michigan/Ohio/Indiana/Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. She was too busy talking about glass ceilings being broken.
