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.

“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 vote

What does he have against dogs lmao

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Assuming this isn’t a bit, “sick as a dog” is a common expression in the US.

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?

reagan republicans who think trump is a rude dipshit

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

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.

my vibe based analysis is that trump is going to win because he reminds people of pre-covid times

[–] [email protected] 56 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

And democrats agree with zero concessions to help the country move forward (and by forward I mean to the right)

yea, pretty much every poll said he would win with 50%, DeSantis should have just countinue his state dictatorship of Florida instead of just running against Trump and losing most of his national support, Trump is winning for sure unless Biden drops out
