Dick replacement. When you can’t see yours anymore, gotta get an external one.

I’m gonna vote in 4 years for a better president.

Just like they vote against putin and orban.

We have never been here before. I keep having to remind people that the Supreme Court has granted the president essentially dictatorial powers. and now a rapist, a 34 time convicted felon, who’s jailed children, defrauded students, stolen from charity, stolen our national secrets, promised to release violent criminals, one who’s praised dictators, while expressing his intentions to be one, and promising his supporters that they will not have to vote again.

There are no checks and balances left, this man now controls all three branches of the government because the other two have both shown repeatedly that they will let him get away with anything.

Come this January, democracy is dead, we will be living under a trump dictatorship.

Right, I barely scratched the surface.

Sure, go ask the average turnip voter if her neoliberal stances were why they voted for the rapist, 34 time convicted felon who cages children, is literally traded on the stock market and has nothing but praise for dictators, in fact who expressed his desire to be one multiple times on the campaign trail.

You folks are so desperate to not blame the majority of people who chose to either vote for that, or were at least comfortable with him as their leader.

No shit I’m tired of the post-mortem quarterbacking. There’s always one weird trick that you can point to, everyone wants an easy reason why this happened.

Well, I have one. america is a fascist country. Apparently we just decided to forgo the plausible deniability.

no, not really, not in comparison anyway. I'm no dem fan but when given the option to shoot myself in the head vs. taking a tylenol for a headache, I don't have to think real hard about that one.

again, given the choice between a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi’s and dictators; and a minority woman with an annoying laugh, folks thought it was worth either pulling the lever for the fascist or just letting the fascist take power.

fuck kamala, fuck biden, but we could work with them, we could put pressure on them. hell, we got biden to drop out. good luck pressuring donald fucking trump to do anything that isn't entirely self-serving.

turnip won because more people voted for him than kamala. more people in this nation were willing to elect a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi’s and dictators. if you couldn't be bothered to turn up to fight against that, well..

the system is shit, but we, at least used to have control of it. I hope we still do but the winner has already told us that he will be a dictator and we won't have to vote again.

I get it, been feeling a lot of the same feelings lately myself. the conclusion I've come to is that I do good things for me, not for others. I live by the old Wellstone mantra of "Everyone does better when everyone does better". In the end I'm just as selfish as anyone since I'm ultimately after my own satisfaction, but to have that, I need good, happy, safe, secure, loving people around me.

I used to be an optimist, I used to believe in the good of people. I don't anymore, people are mostly terrible, but the good ones are great and those connections are worth keeping and fighting for.

"The American experiment endures,"

I would say it just failed. I'm sorry but a system that elects a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi's and dictators, and this was just the first term. I'm sorry but by any metric I care to meaure it by this is a failed experiment.

weird that we chose a fascist instead then.

I used to think this, not anymore, this one was obvious, everyone who pulled that lever, knew what they were voting for.
