Always bet on Americans to do the dumbest thing possible

The purposeful decimation of education in this country is really starting to show.

What does "may not be able to salvage his candidacy" mean in this case?

"may not win" or "may not run"?

Vote for administrations not single candidates. Trump and his previous administration, and future administration are clearly rotten to the core on every single subject.

Biden can be old and his administration is still one of the best this country has had. Sure it’s not perfect but none of them will be perfect for everyone, but only one of these two groups is interested in making sure anyone can even try to vote for closer to perfect again in the future. Trump’s entire group has made it plain that even if there’s voting in the future it will only be for those they deem worthy (rich enough) for the privilege. That alone is enough to vote for the Democrats this round.

That alone is enough to vote for the Democrats this round.

I disagree. Dems have to do better than "vote for our clearly-terrible-but-less-terrible-than-the-other-terrible guy". Their messaging is bad. The attacking of people who aren't convinced to vote for Joe Biden is bad. The "shut up and fall in line" attitude is bad.

Don't ignore it. Just be happy to not have turbo-mega-genocide with nuking of hurricanes on top.

have you tried nominating anyone younger than a mountain

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 months ago (19 children)

Yes, they tried, and Biden won about 90% of votes in the primaries.

Lol. Such a ridiculous take.

So at the time people with private access were swearing up and down the emperor had clothes, the people voted in a 'primary' where the only opposition was someone no one had ever heard of with no media budget and with no debates between the candidates, and voted for the allegedly clothed emperor.

Then the emperor showed up stark naked to a debate, everyone saw with their own eyes, and people are freaking out.

But no, naked dude is definitely what "the people" want.

Do commenters regurgitating this stuff even hear themselves?

That would involve Americans being interested in politics more then once every 4 years

Maybe if the news had talked about someone besides Trump sometime in the last decade we'd be better informed.

like you were informed before TFG ran for office...? or were they talking about him then too?

I'd vote for a mountain over a fascist every day of the week. And twice on Sundays.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's great and all

But were talking about winning an election.

A pretty serious election...

Can we try not doing it with both hands tied behind our back?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure the person in a straitjacket shouldn't be complaining about tied hands.

as you should. and of course you would, though the question is whether the American people in general will, especially considering the incredibly democratic elections you have where it doesn't matter which candidate has the most votes.
