    Holy shit, is the US justice system so incompetent that Trump is not in prison in 2024?

      homie thinks it’s “incompetent” and not “working exactly as intended and designed by the political elites” 😂

      Fun Fact: being in prison is not a disqualifying factor when running for president! He theoretically could still run and win while in jail.

        Well, if a country is retarded enough to vote in a prisoner, the country deserves the downfall, don’t you think.

      He’s not trump, and that’s reason enough for me in the general. I’d vote for a pile of soggy newspapers if it was the most viable candidate running against Trump.

        The problem is we’re in a we need to win every time, because they only need to win once situation with the fascists and biden is not the guy to get us out of that situation.

        We came one vice president to it on jan 6th, so even if biden wins we are 4, maybe 8 years out from giving control to a party who’s entire MO is the establishment of a christian nationalist theocracy.

      Not needing to fear for my life or rights as much for not being straight is good enough for me.

        “Borderline”

        > literally a link to whitehouse.gov with a list of presidential achievements

        If that’s not propaganda I don’t think anything is.

    Good luck with B*den. F—ed democracy, 3rd candidate has no chance. Boomers still have a majority.

      They show up to primaries.

      Great candidates don’t just magically show up for general elections. I’ve watched them lose, time and again bc no one supports them when and where it counts.

        The problem isn’t that “no one” supports them, it’s that the system disallows more than two possibilities at a time. That the main sources of those two possibilities have a stranglehold on the elective process.

        It doesn’t help that people often see the presidential election as the only one that matters. Other candidates generally have a much better chance at state and local levels. Which is generally where that elective power is seated. Take that power and suddenly your options increase dramatically.

          You aren’t wrong, but the time to fix these problems isn’t the presidential election. Ya it sucks our options aren’t ideal, but pick the better option when that’s the only choice you have, and when it’s not decision time fight to change the decision making system.

        Primaries get one quarter of the turnout that general elections get. The folks that vote in primaries are the ones who push us to extreme right wing candidates. It’s a fucking shame. People who don’t vote in primaries honestly lose their opinion to bitch
