Wtf she also said she'd pardon him if she won lmao.

This farce of an primary is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Trump is refusing to even engage with the process and is winning by 60 points, meanwhile a bunch of people are running against him with the strategy of never saying anything bad about him lmao.

I really need to time things so that I am in the global south when the West completely tears itself apart and probably ends up nuking itself...

We should also work on a non-western accent starting now too. You probably won't ever get good enough to pull it off in that country, but you could probably pull off a believable enough accent in some other country.

Like an Indian accent in China or something.

They make these appeals to people in hopes that they vote for them while the polls show very little interest.

I will cry tears of happiness. Genuinely, this would fix me

Hailey's strategy is to just sound like a liberal. Small wonder she's polling 30 points under Trump in her own home state.

I gotta wonder how many more states will try to strip Trump off the ballot before Super Tuesday. If California and New York follow suit, that could seriously fuck the primary results and set off an incredibly heated convention. Idk if I'd want to be Hailey, with that many angry and armed Trump-o-ronies running around the convention hall.

Was going to say that she's openly genocidal when it comes to Palestine, but actually, yeah, that is still sounding like a liberal

Guardian, stop trying to get me to vote for Trump. I will never vote for Trump!

Joe Biden & Donald Trump seem as likely as any to be American Gorby & Yeltsin. Contradictions are rising fast.

Blessed timeline: supreme court pulls a funny one -> Republicans retaliate -> Ballet strikes snowball -> no clear president -> two electoral systems & officials -> inter & intra state foreign policies -> dissolution of the federal government

I'd almost be optimistic if not for class power having strong interest in the preservation of the state. Capital, military, + other minor powers in the US have many opportunities to intervene and the left is too disorganized to exploit.
