…but Kamala

Muricans really stepped on it this time, and the really worrisome part is that they have not even reached the point of acknowledging they made a mistake… it’s always someone else’s fault

trump is such a sad bitch… can’t believe there are people so vacant to have him as an idol

I don’t think most of the US realises how fucked they are under Trump 2. This is barely 10 months in of a four year term.

Indeed… they are still thinking the military will save them because they marched poorly on the parade the Pedo President wanted… oh no, they said, they can march clockwork but did it poorly to show they are not loyal to trump… as the saying goes “the one requisite for people to believe a lie, is that they WANT to believe it”

America lost their collective shit when they saw a nipple on TV… yet they seem to think it’s OK to have a President who is a serial sexual predator (this was well known, from his own cloaca, before the first election)

Now that is crystal clear he is also a kiddie diddler, anything short of riots and demanding his head on a pike just exposes the rot of the Murican society…

There are certain things that just cannot be tolerated and the Mango Turd checks at least 2 of those: Nazi and Pedo

This IS a retirement plan… best benefits in the entire country, very little actual work, tons of grifting opportunities and best of all, zero accountability… what is the electorate going to do? vote for Maga?

You know you can hire stock brokers, right? you don’t need to marry one to trade stock…

The grift must continue!!!.. it’s a family tradition now

the only requirement for people to believe a lie, is that they want to believe the lie

Alright. Please highlight in that statement where I said that the US was a perfectly functional and not systemically broken democracy?

Ok bud, you are just being pedantic now… I have explained it 1000x times…

The gist is, what you said makes sense in a working democracy… even by your own admission, the USA does not have that… ergo, what you said is not really a good enough advice.

Funny that you wrote this… And in the very next paragraph mentioned Mamdani winning despite the opposition from political insiders

Correct, to highlight that you are asking people to compromise with the Democrats when the Democrats would not compromise with the people.

This is all plain to see… you just want to “be right” for internet points

Please provide specifics, otherwise you are just talking around what I actually wrote.

You recommended this:

So go vote for who you want in the primaries, and vote against who you don’t want in the general.

And I claimed that sucks because there is no real democracy (even in the primaries).

Again I repeat (as many others while you keep on ignoring them in this thread), the problem here is that you keep on painting a picture where people have a say which is not the case. People’s desires during primaries (where you claim people should vote for who they like) is consistently manipulated and slanted whichever way the party wants… then you want those same people to support the party that just wipe their hypothetical ass with the people’s opinion.

Look at Mamdani’s run for Mayor… the very Democrats did everything in their power to torpedo his candidacy and campaign… yet you expect people to vote for whichever stooge they tell them to vote for

I’m sorry

No you aren’t, don’t lie.

It’s an expression… I am not sorry, I have nothing to be sorry for, neither do you, we are just debating

I never claimed that democracy in the US wasn’t broken. If you think I did, please point specific statements.

You offered a solution based on a working democracy which is not the case here… why do you offer one if you know it won’t work? Again, following my analogy… why would you offer broccoli for the kids in Gaza when there is none?

How many votes did Bernie get in the primary, and how many did Hillary get?..

How many votes did Bernie lost when the Democrats said Hillary would be chosen regardless? From the link you did not read:

The Cook Political Report estimated late last month that Clinton’s early advantage with superdelegates meant that she effectively started the race eight points above Sanders in the race to get enough delegates to secure the nomination.

Okay. I meant to imply that any democracy (practically by definition) is based on compromise, which is why I said that straight up instead of snarkily (and unhelpfully) bashing the USA.

I’m sorry but not recognizing the flavour of democracy the USA has is broken is a problem. It’s like telling starving kids of Gaza that broccoli is a nutritious snack… that may be true but the issue is not they are picky eaters, the problem is that there is no food

As for the Hillary-Bernie thing… At then end of the primary, Hillary had like 3 million more votes than Bernie did. Notably, Bernie conceeded to Hillary and even campaigned for her, because he knew that she was much better than trump, and democracy is inherently a compromise.

Here you go: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/why-sanders-new-hampshire-victory-wasn-t-so-huge-n516066

Hence why I clarified… benefit of the doubt and all that

I meant to imply the USA does not have one.

Last time this primary vs general was paid attention to (internationally at least), it was because Bernie was about to out-primary Hillary and then the Democrats figuratively put their thumb on the scale and gave it to Hillary.

I absolutely understand even a dead rat would be better president than the Pedophile in Chief you have now. But the people of the USA barely have a very indirect path to elect their representatives… this is a democracy like Cheetos are “food”

What democracy?

The issue, IMO, is the “fuck you, got mine” attitude from so many Americans.

Sure, someone who identifies as a “Liberal” may not want trans people be victimized but if they themselves are not trans (or maybe a close loved one), it’s really someone else’s problem not really worth doing anything about… maybe a post online

Fascism has taken over in the USA because of decades of dumbing down the public and rage farming… but the actual cause at the moment is that the raging idiots are willing to take action while the rest, unless personally affected, “can’t be bothered”

Downvoting you not because I think you are wrong… the MAGA crap band will certainly sink to a new low

But because you seem to imply it would have been best to just put your head down and keep sucking…

Is it “hard to believe” when the Americans voted twice to elect a full on rapist for President?.. with the added qualifications of convicted felon, fraudster and 99.99% likely a pedophile?

I think it’s time to accept Americans could not care less about sexual assault, women or kids rights.

Yes, that is a generalization with a nasty connotation but that is what Americans have shown to be

Seems like he’s changed a lot

It’s not like he changed… it’s just good old hypocrisy and having no morals… he just believes whatever is convenient to believe in order to gain advantage

are you “there yet” America?
