Worst part is we will not learn. Democrats are getting behind newsom only because he is less of a wet blanket then current leaders. But he still supports the policies that resulted in trump. I want to say " but yeah maybe we can push having newsome really change shit for the better", then I remember that never worked with Obama. The cycle continues…
We really need to find and rally behind a leftist/progressive candidate now and begin building momentum and support so we can primary them, otherwise the nomination will definitely go to Newsom. I stumbled into a Democrat message board today and they are already acting like he is the second coming.
Fuck, I know this is an unpopular take- but Bernie still seems coherent and we could definitely do worse. Of the few centrists and ‘non political’ types I know they all seem to have respect for him. He may not be perfect- but we can’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. He has the advantage of being Old, White, and Male- and you know that will score points with a lot of people who voted for Biden and not Harris, as gross as that is.
If someone else has a better suggestion I am more than willing to hear it, but let’s pick someone soon and really try to get people to go to the primaries this time.
Before anyone says it- No, that isn’t all we should do. Yes, the Dems will try to stop it. Doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying.
Dems will try to stop what? People voting in primaries?
They stopped Bernie from winning the first primary in 2016 procedurally and with the full strength of the media. The billionaire machine owns the Democrats too.
But he still supports the policies that resulted in trump. I
What policies were those? If you helped Trump come to power you’re not a liberal or leftist. You’re a Trump supporter.
The party isn’t to blame this time. It’s the voters and we need to stop making these excuses.
After all these months of exposure, I’m genuinely surprised that so many on Lemmy still don’t understand that the vast majority of Americans didn’t vote for for him. He cheated, yesterday they documented North Carolina, there’s so much data now.
Why are people so fcking lazy. It is easy to look up, well explained for those who don’t understand statistical data, and he admitted it with Musk on stage.
Americans are such a violent society, even now, they rather hate the other 50% than try and band together to get him out.
There are two active attack vectors:
!Epsteinfiles@lemmy.world and Election Truth Alliance / Smart Elections.
Stop attacking each other, and start holding the cheeto to account.
If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.
I’m genuinely sick of seeing his face, hearing his voice or even being told by the news about the new stupid shit he said today. I’m sick of the people who idolize him when it should be so blatantly obvious to anyone with even a shred of human decency that every word in OP’s post is accurate.
This man is the embodiment of our inadequacy as a species.
Same here. I intentionally cover his face with my thumb whenever I can. I loathe the way he speaks, the way he looks, and the way he talks over the people he’s talking to, including Fox hosts who are doing nothing but licking his asshole. I can’t wait for the day he expires.
As a nation you mean, not a species. I’ve been to so many countries where this man would never have made it to anything let alone fucking president. Trump didnt happen out of a vacuum, there is a very real fascist ROT in the core of the United States that needs to be dealt with once and for all.
Getting you overwhelmed is a strategy do not give in its tough seeing every single day something cruel and stupid. I am tired of him too. But i won’t block or filter him. We should not look away.
Don’t bury your head in the sand, but also know your limits. It’s okay, and even desirable, to unplug from what’s going on in the world for the sake of your mental health from time to time.
Yup, we need to listen selectively and not read or post every single stupid and inflammatory thing he does.
It’s so fucking exhausting. I feel like the past 6 months has taken several years off my life.
Objectively speaking they have. The damage Chief Cheeto has done will be unimaginably difficult to reverse.
That was the main reason why I was pissed off at his first and then again second election. Even here in Europe he was going to dominate the news cycle every single fucking day. And we are all dumber for having to listen to his incoherent blabbering.
When Biden won in 2020, I was so relieved. He wasn’t my pick in the primary, but the news wasn’t a constant stream of embarrassment and frustration. I hate that he’s back and so much worse.
Just 3 and a half more years to go.
If we’re lucky.
More than likely he’s here to stay once he gets rid of elections.
Was this supposed to be comforting?
If you’re an optimist? I guess?
I am not an optimist.
I used to be. Until November 2016. I gained like 5% of it back in 2020, then lost it all again last year. I don’t know how we can ever recover
We have the sight but not the smell, at least.
I am going to road trip to take a big shit on his grave when he dies. I am definitely throwing a party the day that mother fuckers dead. Can’t come soon enough. Evil piece of trash.
as a non american, I think this is my exact image for trump. From the way he walks, talks and exist, I think he is a disgusting immature buffoon
As a non american this is my image of nearly all Americans.
He’s such an old fuck
This is spot on accurate and amazingly well written!
Poetry
This is beautiful. The only problem with this, and Jack White’s recent trump comment, is that they have too many words. Meaning republicans will never read them.
What was Jack White’s recent comment?
Edit: Found this: https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/jack-white-donald-trump-white-house-oval-office-b2811499.html
On Monday (18 August), White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement to The Independent that White was “masquerading as a real artist”
Bahahahahahaha… Imagine anyone going to Steven fucking Cheung for insight about art. Fucking clowns.
How long until we start hearing about “degenerate art”?
Half of us adults can’t read at a 6th grade level. I think many of those can only do so if they really try, and mostly coast by in a haze
With “too many words” you mean it has more than two?
MAGA rally cries are usually 3 words, but yeah.
That’s because they don’t need to read them, just repeat them from hearing.
It wouldn’t matter if they did read it, MAGA doesn’t have critical thinking skills. To them, Trump is God and anything that says otherwise is terrorism against the United States. It’s that simple. If the Epstein files are only a moderate annoyance to Trump and won’t change MAGA’s opinions on him literally nothing will. Trump is a president on the child rapist list and that still isn’t enough to change MAGA’s minds. Nothing will, full stop. It doesn’t matter what anyone does at this point, Trump won. He has the executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, the armed forces, the state governments, all of law enforcement, and financial leaders on his side. What else is there?
If they even could read
A sentiment shared by right wing voters across the globe is that crime isn’t crime if you can get away with it, because then you are “smart”.
My grandfather was a state trooper. He always told me, “It’s only illegal if you get convicted.”
You’ll only be punished for the illegal act if you get convicted. And aren’t a Republican in power.
Look man it’s not the suits fault it doesn’t fit well. I’m not sure anything would look flattering on that.
A coffin would.
He should be shoved down an outhouse so that every American that wants to can have a chance to do to him what he did to our country.
His grave will be used as a gender neutral outhouse
Sweet Mother Mary, these words are so painfully true.
I guess he does like wearing makeup like JD. Wait that almost looks like lipstick on the inside.
Proud to be a part of a country that can still fix this.
the accuracy is uncomfortable…
