I think after Biden and then Trump, people will be completely fed up with old white guys. I seriously doubt even Santa Claus could get elected. I’m in my 60s and a huge Bernie fan but we need some younger people on the ticket.

politics @lemmy.world•Opinion: Brace yourselves: whatever crazy, awful things Trump may have done to date, it’s only going to get worse
25·2 years agoOne thing that concerns me that not many people have talked about is what’s going to happen to the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency? More and more countries want nothing to do with us and while the US dollar has a huge edge over any other currency, the US becoming a pariah is probably going to impact that.
That’s like CNN saying, “orange man bad”. They were sanewashing Trump’s BS the whole time.

412·2 years agoInstead of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, immediately get rid of the gerontocracy (Schumer, Pelosi), regroup, find a leader with some balls and declare open warfare on Republicans. It’s not like there isn’t any ammunition.

15·2 years agoI’ve tried talking to Trump voters. It’s fucking impossible because they live in an alternate universe and see a completely different reality than everybody else.

44·2 years agoHis platform was supposed to be grocery prices and immigration. What happened to those?
I’m 65 and the country is essentially fucked for the remainder of my lifetime. The judiciary, federal appointments, cabinet secretaries, SCOTUS… We’re screwed

1·3 years agoI think the “invisible hand of the market” swats more people than it helps.
I’m not sure if there’s anybody in the Republican Party that is a viable candidate, much less JD Vance. The Republican’s message may be populist but their motivations are pure greed and authoritarianism and a lot of red state voters are finally waking up to that fact.
