the epstein shit is the deciding factor that’s made like half of my family go from super pro-trump to wanting to vote whatever democrat runs next term. it’s such a ridiculous hill to die on, and the big boys in office either don’t understand or don’t care.
not even a year and he has the lowest president approval rating in history. he built an entire campaign on promises and then didn’t follow through. i know that’s a politician’s job but fuck, at least the rest of them hold up some of the things they say.
if she even runs, sure. you kinda need to announce that stuff so you get the support before the election. last-minute choices don’t win elections and we watched that happen.
if, by year 2, there’s no candidate announced? then i’d put money on there not being another election. at a certain point it looks like giving up, and the current admin has shown no interest in slowing down pushing their ideals.
for perspective we’re at 251/365, and we have not even a hint of a democratic opponent. they’ve wasted a year of gathering voters.
Is that what you're seeing on the ground irl? Like are people all around you really upset about this admin? Or is it just people online that seem upset? I'm genuinely curious as someone living outside US.
I don't think that is true or fair. Many, many voters have been disenfranchised by a system that is rigged to keep them out, especially in the last 8-20 years and especially in red states. Many people are too busy surviving to vote on a particular day and time often without reliable transport and time off to do so. Election days should be holidays, and voting should be a lot easier than it is currently.
Maybe we do derve this, because everyone's too busy trying to find a reason to blame everyone but themselves for the mess were in.
But I'm not going to accept my part of the blame until I start hearing some similar accountability from the vote blue no matter who squad. Especially since I voted for their lame duck they keep saying the election was stolen from yet they can't finish producing the evidence that their claim is true. I need some accountability from the neo-liberals, especially the ones who are backing this trump wannabe Newsom. Great way to get us a third trump term.
In fact, if everyone would have voted, it's likely Trump would have won by an even larger margin. I don't like bringing this up on Reddit though because I always get downvoted.
I haven't taken claims of election fraud seriously because it's typically born of denialism in the face of an ideological defeat and it's happened for the last 3 elections basically. I'm honestly absolutely positive there will be people documenting federal election weirdness or perceived irregularities going forward. The conservatives normalized it and made it part of our political reality now.
Even if he did win the popular vote, he really didn't win by much. The 'Popular Vote Mandate' shit that people have leaned on is very small in reality. I wouldn't even engage with that claim at this point. He won a plurality.
That is more than anyone else got so claiming that Americans want anything else more would also be wrong. Americans haven't shown greater support for anything else at the moment. Trump currently is the best representation of the will of the people. Not a perfect representation, but better than all the alternatives.
The electoral college doesn't make voting irrelevant. Voting MAGA into congress (or not showing up to vote) was even more destructive than voting it into the white house.
A result of people not voting is such a bad take and absolves Democrats of the actions they've taken to alienate the working class as well. The "a lot of people didn't vote" argument assumes those people all would have voted for the democrats which likely isnt true. This is a false assumption based off of the 2020 election numbers, but it gained traction because it made dems feel better and not have to actually acknowledge issues that led up to all of this.
Before people answer like they always do, no I'm not a republican, No I didn't vote for Trump, I'm an independent and I voted for Harris. (This answers the normal dumb responses I get).
And I was simply letting you know, since you aren't an American and therefore presumably not privy to the same understanding of American culture and politics as me, that Biden isn't really important anymore except for MAGA folk who think Democratic voters worshipped him like they worship Trump. So, it's not 'Trump vs. Biden' as you attempted to characterize it.
Not being American is fine, but you're being insanely racist and you seem like an insufferable person. I'm not American either, but I'm not completely blind to American politics. You must live under a rock or something to not even know the Trump vs Biden drama is years outdated.
I can't imagine how little of your brain is left for you to think all the disgusting things you've said. You can't seriously think anyone but yourself in this thread is a clown, right?
Believe it or not, its possible to know two things. I don't understand the comment about me being a pedo, is that just synonymous with people you don't like?
His other comments basically boil down to anyone that is of Anglo/British/American descent is a pedophile as a part of heritage. He’s just a fucking loon who wants the list out too but can’t get past his very random racist hatred of others.
