The Dems are going to lose not once but twice to this guy that anyone even a little progressive could have handedly beat.

[-] demizerone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

They had Walz, but kept him in a corner until recently. Just moronic strategy.

And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a "temporary" financial crisis. The thing is, "temporary" can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don't last for a week or two.

I wonder how long it will be until the Trump vs Musk power struggle. My guess is early summer.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 points 9 hours ago

Hopefully, he strokes out before the EC casts their votes in December. If that happens, we can end up with a Harris/Vance administration.

Not many, for people of color

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 19 points 16 hours ago

And women, and poor people, and journalists

[-] ArchRecord@lemm.ee 8 points 11 hours ago

And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.

Leopards Eating Faces party straight up tells voters that they're going to eat their faces... and they still vote for them.

Says the war dodging, low IQ (the true low IQ individual), balding denier, sexual assaulting, multi-time felon.

Trump is like 1985’s alternate timeline Biff Tannen only worse because he’s real.

Plenty of them already died, by eating horsepaste during a respiratory virus pandemic. The survivors didn't care.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Speaking of which, WTF happened to that effect on the vote?

[-] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 8 hours ago

Alabama went from +28 Trump to +25 or something.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 184 points 1 day ago

Of course his idiot dumbshit supporters all assume they won't be the ones suffering, it'll just be everyone else, and that makes it okay to them.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 day ago

If Kamala wins, her Dept. of Education should really make a push to make sure that we are teaching fascism and WW2 in schools so people can recognize this shit and stop falling for it.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

As a German, I have to sadly tell you that that's not enough.

It's important to teach media literacy and critical thinking too.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 4 points 10 hours ago

I thought critical thinking was communism?

Yeah, the red states already hamstring k-12 to the point they can't function.

Feds never should have let that happen.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

Every single church that made a political endorsement needs to be stripped of its tax exempt status. And audited by the IRS.

Domestic terrorism is being fomented at the ground level in "religious centers," and we've gotta start calling things what they are.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago

Just frame it as “Muslim” and the right will get it done for you. They do love voting against their own interests.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

They don't understand that rooting for them, doesn't make them part of the team.

They don't understand that Donald Trump loathes them

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

don't be silly, of course the leopards will only eat other people's faces.

This monster has to go. Not only should he lose but he should never be allowed in this country again.

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

He should have been convicted at the second impeachment trial, but McConnell made up another rule that never existed before.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

he should never be allowed in this country again.

I'd appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else's doorstep, thank you very much.

You guys can keep him. Just put him in an orange jumpsuit and throw him into one of your egregiously inhumane jails.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Oh, but our worst jails are outside America.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
