This could have been a truth table

[–] salmoura 27 points 3 months ago

If and only if.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 15 points 3 months ago

I thought about something like that, but the flow here felt easier.

Feel free to make another version. If it's more popular, I won't be mad.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 85 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is anti Hitler propaganda, because you chose a pic where AH isn't smiling to make him look more hitler 😑

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 60 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You got me. I confess: I have a bias against hitlers.

You know, I just realized I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of Hitler smiling.

So I looked it up. And there are plenty of them. And he looks...nice. Like, it's weird. He looks like the fun uncle. He looks like there should be a mockumentary of him where he's played by Steve Carell.

One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.

It's really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don't generally go around shouting about how evil they are.

There's one with Charlie Chaplin

I'd love to see a poll on Trump voters for Harris vs. Hitler.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Oof. I kinda would too, but also... boy that'd be an uncomfortable read.

Pure guess? 30% would pick Hitler.... 15% would refuse to answer.

[–] teegus@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago (3 children)

30% would not know who Harris nor Hitler is.

45% Hitler 12% Harris and the rest "No Comment"

Expect rather than names, just put down a list of head line policies.

Mark Kelly.

Navy Pilot, Navy Captain, Astronaut, Senator,, husband of Gabby Giffords, twin brother of Scott Kelly with similar resumé, and he's only 60. He and his brother can each win two terms and still be younger than Trump is now.

He also flips red states blue: he's pretty much the only Democrat who has won anything in Arizona in decades.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"only 60" - the depressing state of politics. There's a good amount of places where you'd retire before completing a single term at that age.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. I'm rather tired of the nation being run by workaholics. I want to retire someday. I want a candidate who shares that value, and builds a nation where I can do that.

Ideally, I think the oldest a candidate should be is 57 at the beginning of their first term, so that they retire from professional politics by 65.

That being said, no candidate is ever going to be perfect, and, he's still 24 years better than the current option.

And the reality is modern medical science has made 60 the new 50.

Which kinda works. because modern education has made 20 the new 14.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Seriously, try being the candidate talking shit about an astronaut and decorated servicemember. "I like people who stay on Earth." Well I don't!

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"I like people who obey the law of gravity."

Maybe instead of "Alive" you should go with "Currently able to form full sentences". Because Biden is just as "alive" as Trump in regards to how you are trying to frame him. The same issues Biden has, Trump has - just Trump's cult doesn't care.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump makes full sentences, the fullest sentences ever by any candidate current or past, no one could ever make fuller sentences, especially the losers and suckers that Trump is running against that hate America and want to turn us into a weak nation that only produces organic electricity that can't run our great country because it can't go through all the rivers and lakes because the water just stops it in its tracks and it stalls like those foreign import cars that Trump is going to put tariffs on because our great capitalist America doesn't need a bunch of foreigners telling us how to drive our cars in our country because America is great and we can do whatever we want unlike Taiwan, which isn't even a country, and needs to go away just like NATO and NASA and NOAA and all those other government agencies in the swamp that needs to be drained because it's full of gators that are making it difficult for people to use their yachts in all of this electric water that's taking over this great country!

trump is pretty braindead at this point. I'm pretty sure if he was beheaded he would keep talking for several days but wouldn't make any less sense

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah, but he's the antichrist and will bring in the apocalypse.

My death cult demands it and I'll be damned if I don't get Raptured!

Trump only raptures you if you're under 14

I imagine Trump has only a partial check there. He's not any young, just seems to be hiding that fact better.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't say young. I said he is "somehow alive".

Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

  • Endorsements doesn't transfer
  • Campaign contributions doesn't transfer
  • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Just to be clear: this post is my way of endorsing Kamala.

Harris 2024! I'll certainly end up protesting something terrible she does, but when I do I will very much enjoy not being rounded up by the Department of Homeland Security for it.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that at least half the population would vote for a literal Hitler.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Half the population doesn't even vote tbh

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

Also very true, disenfranchisement is all time high since a lot of people are starting to realize that they live under a dictatorship of capital.

Honestly not gonna lie, I wish Hitler was a even weaker candidate than he is today.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Well then, good news!

edit: this was originally in reply to a now-deleted comment about some challenges in changing the nominee, which would be resolved if Biden stepped down.

I like to think this is what they used to convince him to step down.

In US politics today, the main strike against Hitler would be that he was not a naturally born a US citizen.

Had he been born in Kentucky, he may have been able to unseat Trump. He would almost certainly be the front-runner vs Biden or Harris.
