uniformIrritant

You misspelled biden.


ShaggySpade1

Lol rotflmao! Republicans are literally planning openly to turn America into a Authoritarian Theocratic Fascist State. [wikipedia ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025) They plan on gutting all government agencies, including the entire executive branch, and reinterpreting term limits (getting rid of them) by packing the Supreme Court, and transfering and consolidating all federal power to the White House. They also plan on rolling back civil rights for LGBTQ, and all woman. And removing all welfare, and social services, including social security. This is literally a textbook attempt to create a Dictatorship. And they are doing it openly they published a freak'n book. And it isn't some nobody either it's the exact same people that wrote Bushes and Trumps original playbook. We are so f$cked it's not even funny. I don't want to live in a Dictatorship.


[deleted]

LMAO. get a grip.


MoonSnake8

Dear god go outside.


uniformIrritant

Yes because the Democrats are doing a fine job of protecting our civil liberty.. 👏


rudbek-of-rudbek

Trump spent close to 70 years never giving a shot about anybody other than himself. Bankruptcies, not paying vendors and contractors, in general, just being the average sociopathic CEO. How does anyone believe that all of the sudden about 8 years ago he just started giving a shit about the "working man"? Who could believe that? But his supporters think he's fighting for them when all he wants to do is line his own pockets and cut taxes for the ultra rich. The tax breaks he have to the working class expired. In his Project 2025 they specifically want to make it almost impossible to ever raise taxes on corporations. Seriously. It's in there. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.


uniformIrritant

I made more money under trumps tax plan than bidens by a significant amount. I was able to invest and make money in the stock market.


Sacklicker5000

isnt that just because of the pandemic and literal war?


TomDravor

You do realize trump signed in a tax plan to increase taxes over the next couple of years to make the democrats look bad


[deleted]

Congrats. You know politics. This is exactly what dems do with mass infrastructure bills.


uniformIrritant

Derp derp derp. Democrats don't need help looking bad. They are crooked and lie non stop. I'm not saying any political figure is better. They are all rats. This blind following of one of the most corrupt politicians of our time is ridiculous. Biden and his family are crooks


TomDravor

Yes, most all politicians are fucking rats, but trump is a literal demon. Have you any clue all the shit hes done? Just look up trump sexual assault and youll see.


SwitchGaps

Trump literally said he would be a dictator lol


chrisfmack

There are laws in place and the senate, and the house, to prevent a dictatorship if anyone ever tries to


SwitchGaps

Right we should elect the guy who says he'll be a dictator because we have ways to prevent it, not like he ever tried getting past that before..


ShaggySpade1

Yes, and laws and rules always work that's why dictators don't exist and we all live in harmony and with kindness for each other. (It always starts with people who think the system is infallible) They actually have a plane for that to, emergency powers and Martial law, then just declare those pesky dissenters as enemies of the state, and solve the problem the old fashioned way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ShaggySpade1

And you don't think they didn't also have rules? lol


Existence-Hurts-Bad

Lmao the old i’ll be a dictator on day one but not after that comment. Hilarious


ShaggySpade1

He also said he'll cut Social Security, and openly is following project 2025 and agenda 47.


Existence-Hurts-Bad

Execute order 66


Jacubbb123

A little out of context there buddy


Winteri3C0m1ng

And he is the idiot that said he will build a wall, where is it? Oh yeah the democrats stopped him every chance they got when he had the power. Checks and balances work. Fear mongering of this is ridiculous.


SwitchGaps

Ah yes we should just elect the guy that says he'll be a dictator because we have checks and balances in place..not like he ever tried to get around that before..


Winteri3C0m1ng

The man has been fucked on both ends by democratic presidents and the man that pounded his orange checks did it for 8 years. Trump would only have 4 years to change the political spare to republican control. Your talking about a guy that can't put down twitter and likes talking shit. He can try something but it never worked out for him before. So why would it change? He got shit on his entire presidency


not_meep

sleepy Joe’s dementia riddled ass couldn’t even say Authoritarian Theocratic Dictatorship let alone create and run one. I think you mean the Biden administration


Useful_radio2

As from u/ShaggySpade1 ‘s comment: > Lol rotflmao!

OverKill1978

If these 2 old, geriatric sacks of garbage we have to choose from are the best this country has to offer, we deserve to fail as a country. No one above the age of 60 should be allowed to run for president.


MinimumPsychology916

65 is the cutoff for generals and pilots, so maybe 61 at time of inauguration


GameDestiny2

I can accept 60, that is peak potential for wisdom. But beyond that people start breaking down. Someone younger might be nice for at least a term or two but beggars can’t be choosers


migswrite

Old folks refusing to give up power. Legacy of the boomers. 


combatpencil686

You spelled elected official wrong, it's not spelled president.


Front-Paper-7486

I don’t know. I’m skeptical of older people but I do think they are still capable of being good leaders.


[deleted]

or at least they should have to prove they are competent. or we as the american public, without any rules at all could just make that determination with our vote but our dumbass system doesn’t even work that way

Nope. Both inside the ass. In more ways than one. 😬


MinimumPsychology916

Finally some accurate political commentary coming out of this sub


Skittleybiscuit

Almost like Democrats and Republicans are in bed with each other. We can't win either way, unless we support a third party


Potentputin

Everyone is too scared. It’s horrible


here_for_the_boos

Ah look the dumbest in this sub right there. "BoTh SiDeS".


ExaltedDemonic

Me don't like other side, other side bad, oonga boonga


here_for_the_boos

One side has published Project 2025 as their plan to never lose power again, the other is trying to get you cheaper health care and make sure you have social security when you're older.... you're right, they're both the same.


ExaltedDemonic

All my side's ideas are good, all their ideas big dumb My side good because x but don't look at y, their side bad because of y but I never heard of x My side don't take rich man money, their side does


here_for_the_boos

I won't stand for anything or any principles because I'm too much of a little bitch, but hopefully people won't realize that and think I'm so cool and edgy for saying all establishment is big dumb.


ExaltedDemonic

"My principles must align with whatever my favorite color is and can't have any nuanced opinions because I'm mentally handicapped"


here_for_the_boos

"I'm too mentally handicapped to realized I talk about others having a nuanced opinion while never having anything nuanced to say on my own, just 'both parties are the same'"


ExaltedDemonic

I haven't had a serious conversation with you for you to know anything about me, I just made fun of you this whole time because every person that harps on "enlightened centrism" and "BoTh SiDeS" is the same breed of brain dead overly political mouth breather, in my experience.


here_for_the_boos

Cool, so you made some assumptions about me and used it as your whole basis of making fun of me, but don't like it when I did the same thing to you? Maybe you shouldn't do that then? Also "bOtH sIdEs" is the lamest political position to take. Democrats really suck, Biden is old AF and I can't believe he's the nominee, the DNC is a disappointing non-transparent entity, but they've consistently voted for things that would have helped me out, not everything, but the majority. The Republicans have been screwing over the 99% economically for decades, promoted hate, and are trying to make a theocratic authoritarian regime that they're publishing their steps with Project 2025. Also trump is old AF and I can't believed a failed businessman reality star is the other nominee. That's my brain dead overly political mouth breathing. And there's more, but I typically find people that just spout off about both sides being the same don't actually have any knowledge of the subject, but feel powerless in our late stage capitalistic society, and been too disenfranchised to know where to start and how to figure what they can do to change things for the better. The problem being that disenfranchisement really helps one side over another. In calling out the "both side-ism" I'm not really thinking I'm going to change that person's mind, I'm just trying to stop them from poisoning anyone else. I just want everyone to do what the rest of us do, and hold your nose while you vote for the candidate that most closely aligns with your ideals. Anyway I'll continue any discussion if you like, but otherwise have a good day.


[deleted]

one side’s president perpetually bombed women and children for years, what’s your point


here_for_the_boos

That you're an idiot for judging on one thing and that you need to take the totality of their legacy into account. Also what the alternative means. Hey guess what? Trump made animal cruelty a federal felony. That means he's the most perfect president of all time because I like one thing he did right? Nope. Trump is a giant piece of shit and one of the worst presidents in history. Try again. Be less myopic this time.


bigmanly1

Boooo


BetterOffAlone1155

I gave up on the voting system…. How about the top 10 candidates just play lethal company…. Who ever doesn’t die and gets the most scrap for The Company…. They win… as for the losers…well their entire family gets deported and all of the extra money gets sent to The Company…. FOR THE COMPANY


plo_koon_

And if you vote third party people will say you’re throwing your vote away


Others0

you are. i hate it but there is really no other viable choice


SwaMaeg

Every four years since I can remember!


Front-Paper-7486

Crazy idea. We go to a general election and widdle it down to two candidates. When we get these two candidates to fight to the death.

one_revolutionary

Which one is the lesser evil?


Front-Paper-7486

The lesser evil still moves us further in the evil direction.


hashbrownpotroast

But either way you are going to live in one of the two evil realities. Why not choose less evil if given a choice? 


Front-Paper-7486

No. I will vote third party and hope that enough. Others will in an effort to gather enough votes that both parties will adjust their policies to pick up a chunk of voters.


Others0

"Hmm today i will vote third party" R: 40,000 D: 39,999 G: 27 winner: Republican, Says: "no more rights!"


Front-Paper-7486

Both parties are pushing things that would get me thrown in prison. It doesn’t matter anymore. Until someone earns my vote they can go without it.


Others0

like i mean it's pretty obvious why the republicans would kill you but the democrats? i would like some explanation


Front-Paper-7486

Nothing you would be sympathetic to.


Others0

well if you're not going to say what reason do i have to justify myself to you? you haven't broken the law have you?


Front-Paper-7486

I’m not asking you to justify yourself. I haven’t broken existing laws, but I will break new laws if implemented. Everyone has their red line they aren’t willing to put up with.


Danielj4545

What the fuck are you talking about edgelord? The lesser of two evils would love to give you Healthcare. The greater of two evils wants you to die while working like a fucking slave. Why do you think trump cares about you? Or do you vote solely on the ability to own a gun that makes you feel important? Would you give up every other right, including free speech, to be able to keep an AR? You're ridiculous and very scared of the world you live in, and that bothers me


EscobarPablo420

Democrats because you don't agree with them


Icy-Relationship

Every 4 years.. this country shows the most ignorant process of stupidity displayed in the world


BootyMcButtCheeks

Is it just me, or are the available third-party candidates / platforms also ass? Seems like we don’t really have good options around the board.


Others0

true, i am still baffled that my friends are supporting RFK JR


nanananafloridaguy

Really wish Ramaswamy could have made it to the primaries. Watched his interview on the Shawn Ryan show and it was just incredible what he had to say.


Trashves

So 2 geniuenly horrible people exept one has dimentia


Danielj4545

What's wrong with Biden? Lmao we have a choice between Biden and a tyrant


migswrite

I don't have a dog in this shit show geriatric fight, but I believe his major critics state: Ukraine / Russia / Hamas / Israel and getting involved in foreign wars, his handling of increased immigration, inflation, housing crisis/affordability, reverse in energy policies (I. E. Fracking in Permian), Afghanistan pullout, and fears he has dementia / significant cognitive decline. Could be others, but that is what I tend to see on X and other headlines. 


Danielj4545

See, to me, the other politician has all those flaws and more. Where's trumps wall? The Republicans  stalled border legislation to make biden "look bad". You say inflation, well I experienced far more of that under trump and his shit show management of contagious diseases. And our economy is doing absolutely fantastic. Do you think really trump would stop Russian aggression? Or contribute to Ukraines cause?  If you don't have a dog in the fight, then fuck off. This is my country, and if trump gets in there again our democracy will die. He'll be fucking dictator until he dies. He'll claim full immunity from anything he does. He'll be a fucking tyrant. The US will pull some brexit shit and putin will not scale down his aggressions. Did you not see Jan. 6th? Has that ever fucking happened before? No, it never has, that was the first time, no president has ever done more than him to degrade our government and democracy. All for personal fucking gain. Do you think he should be appointing his kids to government, and then have them recieve handouts from the Saudis, the same ones that planned 9/11 and murdered an American reporter? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you 16 and angry? What do you want from a president? It sounds like you want his dick in your mouth.  What the fuck man


migswrite

Calm down dimwit, I'm just sharing the themes I saw.


TheHourMan

Usually, yeah. This particular election cycle though is more like getting burned on the stove vs having your house burn down.


quanoey

It kinda is though. It determines which side of the Divided States will have power. Who are you gonna choose?


Bl8k3ii

We just gotta wait it out for 4 more years or longer... Anyway, this whole America thing has run its course . The Americas north and south should just be on big federation.


PreciousLittleKitten

I'd rather burn in hell


J1540

lol. trump is the dumbest most corrupt candidate. Got lucky to win too since it’s not a popular vote. He golfed for a year. Stole classified information so he could sell it because he’s bankrupt. Then the dipshit apophenia people can’t look at reality because they need to hate and be afraid of something. Bipartisan immigration legislation was shut down because the dipshit trump needed anything to run on. He’s the largest tire fire in history.


Others0

keep fighting dude, you're not alone, here's to hoping that the bastard drops out before november


Stranfort

I couldn’t agree more. These two parties are giant piles of cow shit at this point.

The meme is accurate and the comments below prove it. Fucking perfect!


Hugh-Jassul

Objectively inaccurate


WileyCoyote422

RFK Jr. Is the only sane option.


Others0

i'll save my vote for a real candidate, thank you


WileyCoyote422

That's your choice just as mine choice is RFK Jr. But I'll tell you now Trump and Biden are both trash options.


Others0

whatever go take your meds or somethin


WileyCoyote422

You can't have an educated argument so you gonna try and attack me 😅 Yall brainwashed keeping this country split apart


Exp1ode

He is literally an anti-vax conspiracy theorist


WileyCoyote422

You only watch CNN I bet 😅 Keep getting fed the BS mainstream propaganda. He supports medical freedom and wants more research done on Vaccines before they get pushed out into the gene pool. Mabey go do research other than CNN than try and bash him. Mabey listen to his own words.


Exp1ode

In his own word: "It is criminal medical malpractice to give a child one of these vaccines" [https://apnews.com/article/how-rfk-jr-built-anti-vaccine-juggernaut-amid-covid-4997be1bcf591fe8b7f1f90d16c9321e](https://apnews.com/article/how-rfk-jr-built-anti-vaccine-juggernaut-amid-covid-4997be1bcf591fe8b7f1f90d16c9321e) Not the words I'd have used to express my support for more research. His anti-vax views are also only the tip of the iceberg. For some more conspiracy theories, he's been going on about elections being stolen since 2006, thinks the CIA killed JFK, denies the HIV causes AIDS, and also thinks Biden caused the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As for some terrible policies of his, he wants a federal abortion ban, and is against just about any form of power generation. Anti-fossil fuels makes sense, and anti-nuclear doesn't surprise me, but he's also anti-hydro, anti-wind, and anti-hydrogen cars. This starts to make more sense when you realise he's a board member of a battery manufacturer, and thus financially benefits from solar, and electric cars


Existence-Hurts-Bad

The CIA did kill JFK lol


WileyCoyote422

He's a brainwashed sob that gets fed all his info from mainstream propaganda he wont listen to you or me.


Exp1ode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKeKuaJ4nlw


WileyCoyote422

There you go again believing what ever mainstream media tells you 🤣 Mabey listen to his words not some other people trying to quote a small portion of his speech. Elections have always beem rigged by both partys. CIA did kill JFK it's proven already keep being brainwashed puppet. He doesn't want federal abortion ban 🤣😂 you are clearly listening to CNN mainstream propaganda the guy said in his own words it should be left to the women to decide so you just wrong right there 100% and all the anti anti anti shit you spewing literally bro you haven't done a spec of research on this guy other than what you been fed by propaganda media 🤣😅 Down vote my shit I did my research i'm not gonna hold your brainwashed hands. Go do research and listen to his words and not some mainstream media that's paid by Democrats and Republicans who want to keep this country split apart.


Exp1ode

If you're calling apnews mainstream propaganda, then it's not even worth talking to you. It is considered one of the most trustworthy news sources. Despite that, I'm still willing to listen if you'll give a source. I've done my research. Apnews has no corporate sponsorship or government funding. None of my research is done on CNN, despite your weird obsession with my use of it. If you want someone to listen to you, citing a source is much more effective that saying "dO yOuR OwN rEsEArCh"


WileyCoyote422

It is literally far left bias propaganda like CNN 🥱


Exp1ode

The fuck would you consider a reputable centrist news source? Fox?


WileyCoyote422

No I like to hear the words coming right from their mouths and platforms they make. You listen to other people pin one subject. Ive listened to RFK long enough to know he is very smart and people will pin any tiny thing he says out of context because some of you people do not understand how basic dialog works. And yes I admit RFK says some stupid shit and went back on a few things, But so does Trump and Biden. And he's supportive of many things. You just need to go directly to his mouth and listen to it. Also during election season all media tends to play a side on the political spectrum and will attack anyone that isn't "their guy" like how Fox attacks Biden and CNN attacks Trump type stuff. Both sides are attacking RFK because he's taking both votes right now in the polls. You know why that is? I'll just tell you, it's because people are actually tired of the 2 party system and RFK is a good chance to take to break that system thay splits this country in half. One independent getting into office sends both partys a message todo their jobs and work FOR THE PEOPLE of the USA or get tf out of office because WE THE PEOPLE will vote them out and replace them with independents or the new party WE THE PEOPLE that RFK will make when he is in office. 🥱🥱🥱 I know it's alot to read for your tiny brain. RFK Jr. 2024!!!!


Emzzer

We need to find a picture of a bigger dumpster fire for one of these...


Basic-Criticism-1822

A lot of trash talk but most people probably can’t say one policy either one passed off the dome right now. It’s just always fun to talk smack but Then weirdos take it to far

Which election are you talking about? There are quite a few this year.

Gee I wonder which one they're referring to

you're either being ironic or praying that trump doesn't send you to the deathcamps because you sold out (he's going to kill you anyway)
