    I hate how people vote based on who has a cooler picture rather than their agenda.

    I fucking hate politics.

      People didn’t vote for Biden because they supported his agenda. He was the fifth least-popular candidate in 2020, barely ahead of “Mike” Bloomberg.

      The DNC promised favors to the other candidates in exchange for dropping out and endorsing Biden, because in their minds it was better to have a brain-dead candidate than risk nominating a socialist.

      And now fascism’s here.

        Ok I get all that, like yeah we made all the wrong decisions as far as stopping fascism but have you considered wall street?

        Why does no one care about the poor poor ultra wealthy wall street people!? Yeah sure we’re about to see what happens when the world’s largest military is run by Hitler #2, but at least Democrats protected wall street interests!

        I actually hoped Bernie would run last time Trumpler won again Hillary. In my eyes, he is competent, intelligent, and has some good ideas. Of course, he was old, and is even older now, and maybe out of touch with the younger gens, but at least better than Biden, and has a nice following.

        Also memes.

      At this point the US is just a failed state, doing failed state things, because it’s a failed state. The writing’s been on the wall for decades, but even though I expected the dictatorship within my lifetime since I was a teenager, I never expected it to be so god damned stupid. I expected it to be someone cunning and competent. Not a total fucking moron.

        I definitely didn’t expect the oligarchy to go the useful idiot route either, but man, when you can elect an idiot as useful as Donald Trump, I figure they feel pretty well empowered.
