Trump is a rich old white racist man with no talent who made money off daddy’s fortune.

He’s the embodiment of the establishment. This makes sense since that’s what they want to go back to.

They forget that’s what led them here.

Theil is already massively invested with Trump and JD vance. So yeah. They do.

Bootlickers always do

At this point I’m more concerned about the American election results, which could result in an authoritarian regime…

Well, largely we don’t expect politicians to keep promises…

It is? Fucking wow (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Calling it now.

They’ll say it’s a conspiracy and Biden is running things behind the scenes as head of the deep state, Kamala is just a puppet

He’s gonna be the forever bogeyman.

I’m a Reddit refugee too. But thanks for the context. I haven’t seen the straw man. I have noticed a really strong streak of “blue no matter who” which is a terrible attitude to have, that’s the way the Maga folks think.

I’m not even in the US (I’m an Aussie) but my opinion is blue, but like, do better? We gotta do better. Please do better.

To be fair we have the same thing here with shills for the mainstream parties. (But we do have viable 3rd options)

More like he went down flailing wildly. Biden tried a lot of things that were never going to get through the supreme court. He did a lot, mostly ineffectively because he didn’t deal with the real problems.

The supreme court and extremism.

His proposition was to go back to business as normal, but things have fundamentally changed.

More than anything that’s why he had to go.

Option number 2 is the redtext but a dude.

Not sure I agree. Just from the number of pro-kamala threads and negative Trump threads. I don’t see that much in the way of extreme views.

He should never have run. He was a transitional candidate.

If he’s feeling betrayed, want till he learns how most democrats feel about his leadership.

Until the next one. The republicans are a looming existential threat that senior democrats do not take seriously, nor do they know how to fight.

I hope we all remember the senior democrat leadership closing ranks to keep meaningful change (sanders) out during the last primary.

Joe’s got to go.

Then remember as well that the Dems had ample opportunity to ban conversion camps and they didn’t do it either.

If the only options are large genocide and larger genocide. I’m sorry, they don’t have my vote.

You plan the jump first asshole, and they don’t have a plan.

The political system right now is simply good cop and bad cop.

Bad cop(republicans): i’ll shoot you.

Good cop(Democrats): vote for me, I’m your only choice to stop him from shooting you (but it’s in my best interests to let him threaten you forever, so you’ll vote for me)

Both will forever suck. Both are fascists. We need better options

Which is why it is so essential we get it right. And the fact there’s even discussion about it means Biden’s the wrong guy for the job.

Any participation in the discussion helps. Otherwise we stagnate with 80 year old leadership and end up here again in 4 years.
