Trump probably wins and everything continues to get worse as America plunges ever closer to its collapse. Alternatively, Biden ekes out a win and everything continues to get worse as America plunges ever closer to its collapse.

Wonder if it's a good idea to get the fuck out of here

I'm projecting big losses for the working class, like every election, of every year.

Of course that's why i generally don't put much stock. But the blood poisoning comments are the most blatant comments he's made in awhile

Trump: “They are poisoning our blood! Believe me! Very many people are saying it!”

Biden: “We live in a racial jungle, Jack!”

Trump/Biden: kills shitloads of workers to enrich capitalists every day of their presidencies*

Trump wins and it's the Dem's fault as always because they have done absolutely positively nothing of value for any real person in America or the world at large. They could do literally anything, literally ONE FUCKING THING, and beat Trump. They could raise the minimum wage. They could pick literally any human rights issue that's under attack in the US and make it law. They could give everyone $1000 bucks. Anything. Literally anything, and they would win.

They won't though, so they're gonna get destroyed and they're gonna blame us.

I for one place the blame squarely on the parliamentarian.

Trump's going to win and is going to try to do a lot of scary shit but this is a country that couldn't mail out paper masks in a pandemic. He'll manage to kill some people via spectacular violence and institute a geographically patchy reign of terror but he will neither produce a broad effective program nor will he have institutions capable of executing it

The country will of course be further destabilized (and who knows what that'll entail) but perhaps more importantly what Trump will do is grind the United States of America's inner workings to a halt and, God willing, asphyxiate it like an immobilized shark

i cannot tell the future, except in this one, extremely specific case:

In the year 2024, I will not be casting a ballot for Genocide Joe biden-troll

Biden realizes the decisive Arab vote in Michigan and Minnesota will cost him the election more than the Zionist-Jewish vote and pivots to Palestine. In a moment of tenuous solidarity, the USS Gerald Ford allows Ansar Allah militants aboard so as not to be the direct force enforcing the blockade on Caesaria Port.

If Biden chews Khat live on air and says "Death to Israel" I will vote for him

The United States will be the same country in the same decline.

I think Bernie can still win if he starts doing …

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Biden won 2020 by tricking younger voters to come out and vote in The Most Important Election of Our Lifetime™ and they're not dumb enough to fall for it again. Why keep voting for a party that is incapable (and unwilling) to fulfill its promises once they're in power?

The only thing I can tell you is that the media circus will be much less. Trump has less of a platform and the democrats don't want Biden to speak publicly. Neither side has a real primary or the possibility of another candidate.

I think between fast descent into full fascism and break neck speed descent into full fascism that the latter will win.
