Electing this piece of shit was outrageous and ill-advised.
it was ill-advised !!!!
Not electing the alternative, if just to keep him out of office, could also be seen as that.
Why is it that this continues to be the strategy election after election when it's been proven time and time again to be a failure?
When faced with a monster of an opponent, the DNC keeps deciding to pick the blandest, unlikeable, center-right, status-quo politicians possible to run against them. If COVID hadn't happened, there's no way Biden would have won in 2020, Clinton lost in 2016, and both Biden and Harris lost in 2024. Republicans, by virtue of being Republican, always pick a monster as their candidate and we can expect them to keep winning so long as the DNC sits on their ass letting them run the show just so long as they don't have to stand for anything and jeopardize their own comfy seats in office.
I actually think the media has turned the general population into the equivalent of a petulant child. It's always me, my issues , my concerns, my success, my fortune, my happiness, my...
It's crap, and it destroys communities because the individual no longer believes they are part of a greater whole, and they get surprised when the consequences come for the greater whole.
Yeah, dual standards are a thing. People won't choose a mediocrity over a monster because the mediocrity isn't perfect.
But there are no perfect candidates.
Give me a break. There's a hundred mile wide gap between a perfect candidate and Trump/Biden/Harris/Clinton.
This was the argument thrown around leading up to the election because it's designed to shut down criticism and make people fall in line. It failed yet again, so you can stop trying to make it.
Fuck, DC is gonna burn...
Police response to the protests of the murder of Karon Hylton-Brown was heavy handed to say the least. With the upcoming protests already planned, this was either completely tone deaf and ignorant of the significance of the pardon. Or could be an antagonizing effort to show "riots" to justify more police violence and show the "left" as violent extremists.
Shit like this is how we get a Reichstag fire type event to allow a concentration of power and a justification for martial law or worse.
They will first wait until some horrific crime or terrorist action is commited to declare martial law on that, then try to rig the 2026 midterms to get Orbán-style supermajority (get ready for zero adspace and social media reach for the Democrats), then comes the reichstag fire.
Don't stop I'm gonna cum
I've edited my comment to add more context. I don't know if that's still your sentiment to my post.
Damn talk about a rug pull, absolutely no cums will be had now
Also what's your username from, I know I've heard it somewhere

CORRECT! (horsebatterystaple)

They shouldn't riot then, very easy. Own Trump with this one simple trick.
They should riot, but not when or where expected.
What benefit does a satirical account have when the content is just repeating the talking points of those you're satirizing?
So he does back the blue after all - just the wrong shade of blue.
The really red shade of blue. The one with the white circle in the middle with a black swastika.
He does seem to like orange and black and white stripes though.
To think that the right wing can be so violent that it needs a presidential pardon of their crimes. Fucken insane time to be alive right now.
