Man, i took a break from politics for a bit and completely missed the Cheney shit show.
Let them celebrate that “country over” party after Trump won.
Biden would have won it.
I think it’d be the same result. I think he dropped out because his election projections werent good and were only getting worse after that debate, and Kamala was a hail mary to try and salvage it.
Would he? I’m not convinced that this is anything less than a manifestation of the total rot of our society.
Our civic institutions are not designed to deal with the level of dis and misinformation flooding us.
I’ve been assured that AI will fix it.
This. People have been given an alternate reality to live in, so complex and all-encompassing that—unless they’ve grown up to have an appreciation for critical thinking—all the thinking’s been done for them.
Hard to make people care for more than the immediate here and now, Trump’s WWE wrestling persona does that
Until we fix the disinformation, nothing sane is going to work. Things are only getting worse.
Sanders would have won.
I believe this too. 2020 Biden did good but there were already questions about his age. It was clear 2024 Biden wasn’t going to be able to do it with his age and the headwinds he faced.
MAYBE a primary would have selected a winner if he had chosen not to run from the start and someone had plenty of time to introduce themselves and craft a good message (and not just 100 days).
But with 100 days we needed a well-known personality with the right message. Bernie is obviously extremely well known and speaks to just the right people that Biden and then Kamala were having trouble reaching - working class, young men.
This. I always think, the only reason Trump won the first time, is because people voted for him to protest nominating Hillary instead of Bernie.
I was one of those dumbasses. Im sorry that i let everyone down. I regret it, i do. Thats why i dont understand how trump got reelected. He clearly cheated right? So why did harris just concede unstead of fighting back. Fuck elon was giving out million dollar checks. How is he not in jail because that mightve been the deciding factor in so many young and dumb boys going out to vote thinking they too might get rich quick.
The thing that pains me the most, is that I don’t understand “why”. Why most of Americans voted for the guy that clearly doesn’t share Your values. Anybody’s values. Is it just plain ol’ racism? Sexism? The guy ruined Your economy. Is responsible for millions of deaths. Is a convicted fellon. Is 51 percent of Your country in a cult? Am I to dumb to understand?I would like to know the thought process of an average American.
They elect hubris.
People were googling “Why is Biden not on the ballot” on November 5th, the number of people who protested Hillary’s nomination over Sanders must have been infinitely small… Oh well look at that, she got the popular vote, so it’s just the electoral college that was the issue after all, guess I was right!
At the least, it would’ve been worth the gamble.
The rock would have won
