News from around the world!
There has not been a time for ripe in modern times for a strong 3rd party candidate. To bad the whole system is rigged against it.
That time was 2016, which is why gary johnson got so many votes.
3rd party, on a national scale, is guaranteed to fail in fptp. The only one who wins in fptp is the least hated (of 2) candidate. 3rd party votes just suck votes that could be voted against that most hated candidate
It's the state of politics that the wealthy elite owners of the country absolutely enjoy
Voters no longer vote for who they want
They vote for the best of the worst that is given to them
They vote for the best of the worst that is given to them
Nothing new about that.
I was a lot less worried about Mitt Romney.
Romney was a corporate stooge, but at least you knew it was just going to be more rich get richer shit. This new variety is deadset on torturing people instead of just making them poor.
Not even best. Many people vote purely against the thing they don't want, rather than voting for the thing they do want.
I'll take old over criminal or fascist.
Yeah. Strong "one of those things is not like the others" energy to this headline, lol.
The thing about an old president is that even if he grows senile, there's the entire rest of their administration that generally have the same goals in mind as them.
How did that work with tfg and Ronnie?
idk who rumor mk Ronnie is, but presidents assign who is on their team, most presidents assign people who are educated on what they're assigned to, and most presidents receive advice from those people on their topics of expertise in the first place.
Yeah you found the mobile user. “Most” is past-tense, now. But you know, I’m old so I obviously know nothing and haven’t been around to witness watergate and on.
sorry, can you reword to highlight the issue?
I edited the comment.
I mean to say I don't know what you mean with this part

Yep!
Especially an old man just restored a chunk of the social safety net. No, it's not enough yet, but Republicans are making sure of that.
The main fear with an old person is the instability it could cause if they grew ill. But the other two options are guaranteed instability. So I think I'll take my chances.
I would too, but like, could not limit it to just those three choices please?
Why is that the option, though? The majority of people who complain about the choices probably know who they'll vote for even if it's not a great choice, but how are these 3 the absolute best our country has to offer? Who's pulling the strings to force this choice down our throats?
DeSantis won Florida's 2022 gubernatorial election with 60% of the vote. If somehow Trump isn't able to run for the presidency it's a landslide victory for DeSantis v Biden.
DeSantis' faltering popularity in the GOP race shows that whatever is popular in Florida isn't necessarily popular everywhere else. I don't think it's a guarantee Biden loses to DeSantis, if it comes to that.
There are, in fact, other states besides Florida.
It's impossible to know that for sure.
Sound about right.
sample size of 1000 though. you'd think they'd be able to find tens of thousands of people
I feel that it should be pointed out that Trump is also a fascist.
And old
He's the total package! Like, the kind of package you'd set on fire and leave on a neighbor's porch.
Fascist, criminal, or geezer.
Ngl I know which one I’m picking (the old fart).
Totally normal "democracy", working very well. 🙃
