Things could be different but they're not

We’re still doing ‘I don’t like his vibes’.

I mean yeah that's true but it's not like Trump is gonna be pro-palestine.

If anything he is gonna be even more pro-israel because it's a white supremacist colony.

Are we talking about Hillary the Drone strike Julian Assange, Clinton here? "Genocide Joe" is absolutely fucking nothing compared to her.

I didn't like her purchase and manipulation of the Democrat party, and abrogating the democratic process in denying the people their choice of Bernie Sanders.

But hey, let's not quibble about words.

So... People tell me an election year is no time to talk about electoral reform. Every US election year. But! After the election, they scurry away under the refrigerator and stay there for 4 years. I know you have to hold your nose while you vote this time, but catch these weird centrists before they disappear and hold their feet to the fire to influence change. You deserve better than this "I'm not voting for _, I'm voting against _" nonsense. Your government is hurting all of us. Stop it, please.

Hillary would have done the same thing as Biden on Israel

Democrats have failed to fix all the insane crap Regean did because the DNC learned about how much money they were missing out on

I still maintain Bernie should run independent. The DNC ensures he will never win the primary, and it was proven by the email leak back in 2016 which is why no one voted for Hillary.

I think the wheel of history turns on a greater axle than a presidential election. Look at Europe, and the rest of the global north. The machine of neoliberal imperialism has created global instability and climate crisis, and the rich are locking down their spoils with right wing nationalism.

Trump was a fluke, he'd have had more bites at the apple in 2020/2024 and eventually get a win. If not him, then some evangelical fascist.

The DNC signed it's death warrant with that one. Bernie got screwed. We got Trump. The Supreme Court just handed Trump ultimate supreme dictator status. We all know Biden doesn't have the balls to do anything about it and he certainly isn't going to win the election.

As long as the R's can get 40 seats in the Senate this fall the great experiment finally fails.

Bad take.

You get genocide either way; one is a guy trying to stop the genocide that's been negotiating behind the scenes for months (and yes, also giving the Israelis arms), and the other guy wants to accelerate the genocide while also ending democracy.

Uhhh and today the SCOTUS decided that Trump can never be prosecuted for anything he did or will do whilst president, so actually, democracy died today. Biden won't abuse this. Trump will, and there will be nothing to stop him from enacting his dictator plans. About that, and the political assassinations, and the president for life, I think Trump is serious.

The American supreme courts massive and 180 turn from the previous decades of law is the textbook definition of tyranny. America used to have a grand tradition of what to do with tyrants.

"Keep quiet or Ill turn this democracy around, so help me God!"

More like people were betrayed by the DNC and rejected an unpopular candidate that was thrusted onto them.

If from 2 choices 1 means the death of democracy, the democracy is already dead. That was already true back then. I hate this post because I completly bushes over that fact and is only there to guilt trip people who want real change outside the 2 party system.

People who think our presidential elections are only recently fucked up are morons. Since basically day 1 the politics and seedyness and bullshit going on behind the scenes has always been insane.

There's some kind of narcissistic selfishness that constantly has a need for THIS time, OUR time to be the worst ever.

I mean, for the majority of the country's history, huge portions of its population had literally no democracy due to no right to vote. But I guess we'll ignore that.

We had portions of our history that were rocky as hell due to shifting balances of power between the federal branches, especially in the first 100 years.

We literally had a fucking civil war.

It's always so interesting to me how people just ignore how bad it's always been, and how many times the country did not, in fact, literally end, and yet they STILL gin up end of the country fearmongering constantly in every election cycle.

None of this is truly new.

No, no, I was assured Hillary Clinton was Basically The Same as Trump and Both Sides Were Bad.
