+1000. While he ran in 2016 he criticized Obama's golfing and said if elected, he wouldn't have time to play golf. Then in his first term he proceeded to play golf at a higher rate than Obama did. Now he's playing even more golf than that. In theory I don't have a problem with Trump delegating power while he golfs - except that now he's delegated that power to Elon. Sad! |
Republicans created the "Evangelical Christians" (intentionally, to create a non-thinking voter bloc they could control). Trump just hijacked them. Suburban women are not Trumps' base; they are split. Trump sport is highly inversely correlated with level of education achieved. That's it. He attracts poor thinkers. He's a political 419 scam. |
If that's all he did, we wouldn't be in the trouble we are in. |
It tells us what we've always known. 1-person 1-vote means we get a President that the average person prefers, and the average person is stupid and mean. |
NP on this thread. You make a good point. No politicians care about you. Stop defending any of them against your principles. If you accused the other side of grifting, insider trading, selling their soul, or actively making the country worse… Then when your guy does it, you defend him… You are a pawn. |
Let me guess. You are going to need more than one vote, correct? Or maybe you get one but others get a three-fifths vote? We’ll call it progress! |
I can’t believe we keep losing to this guy! Do voters really hate migrants and trans folks and civil servants and NGO executives SO MUCH that they would vote for idiot Trump over Democrats? WTF? |
Here are his genius voters. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/spite-turns-normal-people-into-horse-paste-eating-conspiracy-addicts-says-study/ar-AA1AHj7w https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/03/14/an-ivermectin-influencer-died-now-his-followers-are-worried-about-their-own-severe-symptoms/ |
The sad answer to this question is yes. Americans were handed one of the best deals anyone has ever had in the history of all of mankind and all they can do is gripe. The system isn't perfect for me! The system doesn't work for me! Me me me me me! Let's blow it up. Screw everyone else. So we'll go backwards by decades and maybe more and then they'll be sorry but it will be too late. |
Now instead of healthcare, apply their mindset to economics or sociology. |
Don’t forget the help of the billionaires and the even stupider MAGA crowd in the red states. |
And then he lied, lied, lied. |
Somehow Mr. Not Clever became the central figure in American politics. |
It tells you that half the country is dumber than Trump. |
Anyone who thinks the Dems lost to Trump and only trump is not seeing the real picture. Dems lost becuase we as a society have failed to reign in and moderate online news. Full stop. This is obvious to me during the election, but any niggling doubt I had over this was erased by reading Careless People.
Dems didn’t lose just to Trump, they lost to the Trump and Big Tech alliance. If you own the media and how media is delivered, you own the election and so Trump, Russia and Big Tech won the election. It wasn’t about policy as much as it is the robber barons of the 21st century winning the election. |
