The entire NY mayor “controversy” has been astronomically blown out of proportion by bad actors. The vast majority of Democratic voters in the rest of the country don’t give a fuck one way or the other. But it looks great for the Republicans if the Democrats are in-fighting, and on Lemmygrad it looks great if the “establishment” Democrats are losing (never mind that Mamdani would get bodied 100x worse than Kamala on a national stage).
Republicans: categorically awful on every single issue
Democrats: Not that
Babies: waaaah I want a competitive party that matches my opinions on every single issue
Find me one major party in the entire world that matches your personal ideals 100%. Spoiler: it doesn’t exist, unless you happen to be a king or dictator of an authoritarian state.
Two party systems means you have two parties with distinct ethics, and one party winning consistently means the country’s ethics will shift over time in the favor of that winning party. So keep spite voting against Democrats and see where that gets you.
Edit: you know why the Democrats are similar to Republicans on so many issues? Because Republicans keep winning elections.
There are a lot of Walmart heirs, and even collectively I doubt they own enough shares to control the company at this point.
Hey bro I already know you aren’t succeeding in life, being this terminally mad online is definitely not the hallmark of someone whose got it figured out.
I was just trying to help you out. Looks like you’ll just have to keep suffering tho.
Bro every one of your recent comments is you being mad af. Maybe reflect on that.
Also the fact that your instinctive response to someone disagreeing with you is to immediately lob insults calling everyone else dumb makes you look insecure about your intelligence.
It was literally a binary election. That’s how FPTP works. In a two party system it’s ridiculous to expect a candidate that has your exact values on every single issue.
But sure protest vote for the next 50 years and see where that gets you.
Right, I forgot that Trump won because of how pro-Palestine he is.
He wasn’t even better comparatively if you assume Trump is only possible because of Reagan.
Yes? We fund KSA who fund the RSF. If the US wanted to end the conflict they could, easily. But it’s not a convenient political pressure point for bad faith actors like yourself.
Literally yes, the US funds the KSA who fund the RSF
Did you know in Sudan (5x the population of Israel/Gaza) there is a literal ethnic genocide going on right now? As in Arabs going village to village and straight up murdering people based entirely on how dark their skin is? And this started before the 2024 election. How many times have you posted about that?
Funny how all of these disingenuous anti-Biden and anti-DNC posters are so conveniently playing into the Republicans’ hands by making Israel a single issue voting point.
Look up China’s final warning. Ironically it’s Trump whose the one issuing the “warning” with these tariffs that he is never actually going to follow through with (see: him caving today).
Actually checking the name and address against the voting registration record, without an additional ID check, really is enough to validate someone in like 99.999999% of cases. In order for someone to impersonate someone else while voting, they would need to:
-Know their name
-Know their address
-Know their designated polling place and physically visit it to cast a ballot
-And most importantly, they would need to know that the person they’re impersonating is not going to vote in that election. Because otherwise as soon as they do, it’s going to flag a voter fraud alert when one voter appears to be voting twice. Which is a federal crime that is taken very seriously and easy to track down, because it occurs so infrequently and there’s surveillance at every polling location
So an imposter would be risking federal prison time in order to swing an election by one vote. It’s something that happens like a single digit number of times per election.
Compare that to the hundreds or even thousands of times that people work 8+ hour days (since elections in the US are never on holidays), get to their polling place that closes as early as 6pm, and then find that they’ve forgot to bring or lost their ID, and then won’t or can’t vote in the election. The current system works fine, ID laws are 100% just a voter suppression tactic.
I think that’s a local state or city requirement, I’m not sure I’ve ever had to sign for a ballot.
It’s a fair question so idk why people are downvoting you. But in the US you can’t just walk in and vote (ID or not). Before the election you have to register to vote, and that process verifies that you are a citizen. Then once you go into your polling place to actually cast your vote, they check your name/address to see if you’ve been registered, and if you have, then you are allowed to vote.
So requiring ID to vote introduces a second step to check something that’s already been verified (you can’t register to vote if you aren’t a citizen), and Republicans love it because adding extra hoops to the voting process lowers turnout and historically Republicans do better in low voter turnout elections.
If Trump didn’t get a second term, then Reagan probably goes down as having done more net damage to the country. Now it’s anyone’s game.
Well the US doesn’t have to do anything, so hopefully he follows up on that promise (doubt).
The difference between the left and the right is that many Republican voters will vote for a candidate based on a single issue, while many Democrat voters will not vote for a candidate based on a single issue.
I’m genuinely not sure if there is a set of policies the left can offer which will adequately appeal to their entire base. I think the best case is another 2008 Obama who didn’t actually campaign on much hard policy other than just idealistic “hope”, which meant that a lot of voters could see what they wanted in him.
Meanwhile Republicans will continue to destroy the country while throwing out scraps like marginally lower taxes (but much lower for the rich).
Seriously, if third parties actually cared then they would contest local elections and try to gain senate/house seats which could force democrats and republicans to work with them to pass legislation.
But when third parties only show up once every four years in the single biggest election it shows that either they’re trying to play spoiler or just doing a quick cash grab.
Bro please point to exactly where in the picture Bill Clinton is being defended.
