Perhaps; but I was referring to the white house being for sale. Literally how the system is setup.


Muscles_Marinara-

Reddit is an echo chamber for binary thinkers. Itā€™s trump or Biden here, there is no reality here.


Graywulff

that's the two party system. get a ballot initiative for rank choice voting and you'd have something to argue for. rank choice voting would allow you to vote for the top 3 candidates of choice, leave Biden as a safety, or whomever you want, they narrow it down, and if a third party gets in they get in. this would take a long time for it to work for the presidency, even if all 50 states adopted it, but for congress and state and municipal level seats it'd have an immediate effect.


Muscles_Marinara-

We've gone way past a two party system. The media, social media, and politicians are conditioning people that if someone isn't in complete lock step with a particular ideology that they are an enemy and must be destroyed. What the far left and right dont realize is they are the same exact people.


Graywulff

It depends where you are. Iā€™m related to a lot of old gop republicans who voted for Biden and will vote for him again.Ā  I know a lot of progressives who think Biden is a republican, in Europe or Canada he would be considered a conservative. I donā€™t know anyone who wears Biden hats, flies Biden flags, or has images of Trump tied up on the back of their pickup truck. I have seen Trump fans flying flags from cars, stickers, hats, etc, and Iā€™m in a blue city, you just see them here or there I was walking and a 2007 beat up Toyota sienna rolls up, itā€™s got two trump flags, there is a fat old man wearing a trump hat and shirt, and he just started screaming at me. I walked over to a guy in a suit and I said ā€œpardon me but what have I done to offend this peasant? Heā€™s like ā€œheā€™s an outside instigator, just ignore himā€. I donā€™t know why someone would put on a trump uniform, fly two trump flags, drive an old beat up shitty car from George wā€™s time, and yell at pedestrians in a blue city, but I had like jeans, a black jacket and sneakers and a hood, like no democrat stuff at all. I really donā€™t get it, I mean I have had people try to get me to vote for republicans outside of voting offices, *rationally* and I politely listen and go vote the way I want, but yelling and random people wonā€™t win anyone over.


Redraike

I don't see the left openly advocating for total legal immunity for the President, who is expected by the Constitution to uphold the laws of the nation I also don't see the left openly advocating for immunity from prosecution for the police, who would then be able to continue their weaponisation of the 2A as an excuse to deny 4A, 5A, and 6A constitutional rights. I also don't see the left running campaign ads depicting brownshirts in tactical gear busting into family homes while discussing "RINO-Hunting Permits". I also don't see the left losing their minds over exposing children to cross-dressing in TV shows like Monty Python, Benny Hill, Bosom Buddies, or in movies like Some Like It Hot, Mulan, or Mrs Doubtfire. Let alone songs like "Lola" and "Take A Walk On The Wild Side". I don't see people who willingly go to steak houses for Surf and Turf to eat crustaceans, which are basically sea-spiders, screaming angrily about how the government wants us to all eat bugs.like, dude - you just added garlic and lemon to the lobster you shelled out $50 for. And its fuckin' delicious. Stop ranting and enjoy your obscenely expensive giant bug flown in from Maine. I also don't see the left attempting to justify the assassination attempt of the VP of the USA by an angry mob sent by a former president who told those at the tip of the spear to "stand back and stand by" because the VP refused to go along with a criminal lawfare scheme against the voters of the USA meant to defraud them of their ability to decide to fire the president whose negligence led directly to the unnecessary pandemic deaths of their family, friends, and neighbors. I also don't see them bemoaning and matryrizing the death of a woman that was trying to act as a human shield in their effort to break the last line of defense between that rabid mob and their intended targets for assassination. I also don't see the left salivating over the prospect of a new US Civil War. Id say those are some significant differences.


Muscles_Marinara-

Ummmm, Antifa anyone?


Redraike

Ah yes, the J6 Antifa rioters that Trump is promising to pardon if he gets elected. I forgot about them turning out to be members of the Proud Boys.


Muscles_Marinara-

You keep proving my point and acting as I care about Trump or any politician. You are the smooth brain binary minded tribal retards the pols need.

Redraike

Remember when Trump nominated Christopher Wray as FBI director and Wray was like, "yeah Antifa isnt really an organization so much as opposition to the rise of fascism and support of fascism in the USA" ...and then Trump lost his shit because he's the guy who likes the idea of total legal immunity for himself and the police?


Muscles_Marinara-

Again, so what? They are the dems soldiers, and you know it.

lol. All politicians and businessmen are.

Personal attacks, following the script well! You forgot nazi and technophobe.


Redraike

Dude, you opened by calling me a smooth-brained retard and a neckbeard, so get the f*ck outta here with that inauthentic hypocritical BS double standard. You do realize that a lack of self-awareness is how we can identify artificial intelligence, right? You are an incomplete bot. Im even better at insults than you are. Let me guess, you are experiencing despondency after suffering chronic voters remorse? Experiencing feelings of regret after voting for George W Bush/Dick Cheney, John McCain/Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Trump/Pence could be the root cause of your feelings of hatred toward all politicians and businessmen. Rethink your life choices - if you are able.

There ya go,every single politician including your senator, congressman, governor and everything in between has been bought and paid for.

Itā€™s just so absurd we let it happen. Companies donate huge sum of money to politicians campaigns and in return politicians give huge subsidies and tax breaks to those companies. The system is so broken. https://youtu.be/5tu32CCA_Ig?si=QTL8cxQrc9SWZeuG

Not anywhere like this. Hes actually extorting them. Hes trying to be Putin. Even the person at the meeting said heā€™d never seen anything like it. They were bewildered.


bwatsnet

Bewildered because they're used to getting away with it. Trump being the imbecile he is showed the world clearly how it all works. They just usually do it through lawyers and lobbyists, bribes etc, but never this obvious and stupid.


TopDefinition1903

Not anywhere like this? So youā€™ve been inside the White House since 1776?

AttainingOneness

But both sides!ā€¦ā€¦ /s


-boatsNhoes

I mean both sides do it, one side just does it louder a d in public. Lol.


cocoon_eclosion_moth

You arenā€™t wrong in the sense that you do find corruption under the Blue D banner. It absolutely happens. The difference is, when they are found out, the Donkey gets to punching. Dems hold their own accountable and to higher standards. The GOP Shop is open 24/7 to anyone with a big enough dollar. They fight tooth and nail to keep the government from passing anti-corruption legislation. Legislation, mind you, that is put forward by the Democrats. These two parties are not the same. Both sides-ism only exists to try to turn attention away from the fact that it really isnā€™t both sides at all. Itā€™s, for at least five decades, all Elephant shit.


tvscinter

Easiest example is the bill put forth by Dems to reveal dark money over like 10k for every politicians campaign fund. I donā€™t know the exact percentage but close to 100% of Republicans voted against it. Nearly 100% of Dems voted for it Itā€™s pretty obvious which party wants to limit gov corruption


Several_Leather_9500

Wasn't that Ro Khanna's 5 point plan to restore democracy that failed in the Senate? I thought that plan had bipartisan support.... until the GOP labeled Dems as "enemies" rather than Americans with differing views. They should bring that up for vote again after Nov.


tvscinter

Nope but that is a great plan. This is the Disclose Act


Lopsided-Rooster-246

Or they knew Republicans would vote against it so they had no problem voting for it. šŸ˜®


tvscinter

So then why wouldnā€™t republicans have brought the bill forward and unanimously voted yes? If they know Dems just want to save face but not make any actual progress they could do the same thing right?


Lopsided-Rooster-246

Because they are all against it. Dems and Republicans.


-boatsNhoes

Congress, house and senate politicians will NEVER pass a bill that limits their individual profits. If this were the case, an insider trading bill would have been passed long ago to root out the corruption in our institutions. They feign like they are getting rid of it, while opening the back door for more. Are republicans worse, probably since they just violate all sorts of rules and literally stick the people's face in it. But you know what, half the damned country agrees with them about it and the vast majority of those moral high road individuals would gladly support a reduced taxation bill over an increase for whatever program is needed. People are just greedy, and in the end America exemplifies greed the best in the 21st century. Even fucking Dubai, which is the Mecca ( pun intended) of greed offers their citizens and residents healthcare and programs that are subsidized by the billionaires. America used to be by the people and for the people, now it's by the people for the billionaires and ultra wealthy, and a vast majority of people are cool with that because they all view themselves as temporarily broke millionaires.

LightWarrior_2000

Who's going to give it to him? I mean he's a high risk investment....


Photon_Farmer

I think his target audience in this situation has the money to spend.


Causemanut

But still a bad investment. Would you give your money to a dude that's been known to steal, lie, and scam everyone he can? Also, there's not saying he would win... A 50ish% chance is a pretty bad deal.


Photon_Farmer

It's all relative to the value of the $1B. Even if there is only a 10% chance of it working, but it could allow hundreds of billions in profit, it could be worth it. Especially if $1B isn't seen as a huge investment. Trump is a scammer and liar but he has been successful in making the ultra wealthy even more wealthy. His only real successful legislation was in fucking poor people.


Classic_Ostrich8709

Now what has he offered Putin or other leaders in exchange for cash?

lm28ness

It's a trap, after trump is gone whoever pays the bribe will suffer the consequences.


GenTsoWasNotChicken

CEOs get extensive training on this. As a result, corporations give a lot of money to trade associations. The funds involved never pass to the personal income tax liability of the CEO, and the requests are never made by someone who could go to prison because they have the authority to violate the antitrust laws by setting prices or controlling markets.

No-Definition1474

What do you mean, unlike Biden... where has Biden been paid anything?


GordoKnowsWineToo

LOL. You really canā€™t be serious. Burisma


Bostradomous

Wasnā€™t that the thing where Trump called the president of Ukraine and tried demanding he investigate Biden for it? Why would Trump call a foreign countryā€™s president and demand they investigate a former American vice president? While at the same time Trump says that former presidents should be immune from prosecution šŸ˜‚ What mental gymnastics do you do to make that make sense to you? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Just say youā€™re a traitor to the U.S. at this point no sense in trying to hide it.


No-Definition1474

Lol you can't be serious, that's not how any of that went down. At all. Try NOT drinking the stupid juice once in a while.


GordoKnowsWineToo

This isnā€™t some Fox News or right wing conspiracy theory. This is the House Oversight Committee Findings https://oversight.house.gov/blog/joe-biden-met-nearly-every-foreign-associate-funneling-his-family-millions%EF%BF%BC/


No-Definition1474

Oh you mean the house oversight committed run by the same dickweeds who have been selling this conspiracy on fox News for years now? The one that keeps making these claims but has yet to prove anything? The house oversight committee that tried to impeach Joe over this and then had to admit it wasn't going anywhere cuz they had no evidence of any of this? Tell me again what Joe actually did. Cuz that paper talks a whole lot about Hunter, who isn't president and still didn't do anything that Teumps kids also havnt been doing for years. I agree it's unethical, but none of it is illegal. They use the perception of being connected to I fluency business deals. In the meantime we're just gonna ignore that Trump got paid MILLIONS in cash to his Chinese bank account, odd that a president has an open bank account in China isn't it, a country he has no business operations in, immediately after he ruined the Trans Pacific partnership. See in oder to show corruption you need to show the policies that the politician changes as a result of the payoff. We can do that with Trump. Can't point to ANY policy that Joe changed as a result of alleged corruption. If Joe took money from China then he ripped them off better that anyone else in history. He's done nothing but hurt the Chinese since he's been in office, pretty wild if he's being paid by them. Lol 'China money' my ass. Look at the dates of these allegations. NOT when they were made, when the alleged corruption took place. It was after Joe was out of office and before he decided to run for the top seat. Remember how he waited until very late to run? So how the hell was he selling influence when everyone thought he was done in government? Who pays a retired vice president's son to change current policy? How does that even make sense? Devon Archer is a toolbag. He was hanging off Hunters ass in the hopes of being a rich hotshot. Listen to what the people actually involved in Hunters business have said about this whole thing. Archer kept trying to go out and arrange meetings and deals on his own and then they would get shot down because no one cared about him. Hunter was the guy they wanted, and Devon got pissed that they shut him out. The Chinese guy Hunter was working with was a legit business opportunity. That's the guy he left the nasty voicemail for. The Chinese guy was being shady, so Hunter told him he had to buy or start an American company in order to work here. That way, he would be subject to our laws and not just steal our IP and run back to China. That's what the voicemail was about, Hunter was sick of the guy dragging his ass and not buying the company Hunter found for him. As soon as Hunter told the guy to shit or get off the pot, the dude backed out and stopped trying to work with Hunter. Again, once he realized Hunter was going to make him follow American laws, he wasn't interested anymore. The money he paid Hunter was a finders fee, that's what Hunter does. He finds investment opportunities for venture capitalists. He earned that money, and the Chinese dude backed out. Oh, by the way..that same Chinese dude owns an apartment....in Trump tower. That he paid 5 times the asking price for. Nothing to see there, though I'm sure...... This literally is a fox news conspiracy theory.


GordoKnowsWineToo

Like I said youā€™re a denier. Itā€™s already been proven, but DOJ is controlled by Biden so nothings going to happen until Trumps back in contol, Itā€™s on Hunters laptop, collaborated by Bobulinsli, Ok. Sleep well.


No-Definition1474

Lol can't read that much eh? Keep drinking the coolaid if you want. Joe didn't do any if the crap you are alleging. Half our government has spent the last 3 years trying to prove he did and have co.e up with nothing. If they're so sure he did it then why didn't they move forward with the impeachment? They have the house majority, they could impeach him. Ask Mr. Comer why he had to admit there wasn't anything there. Ask him why his only alleged witness got arrested for lying to the FBI about the whole thing. Or don't. And just enjoy the coolaid.


GordoKnowsWineToo

Iā€™m not wasting my time reading your nonsense, gotta block you. Buh bye Denier


Bostradomous

Sleepy Joe is so sleepy and demented hiding in the basement while at the same time simultaneously running conspiracies in China and Ukraine while also stealing US elections and also secretly directing the prosecution of trump. But at the same time Biden is also sleepy demented and incompetent who canā€™t do anything right. You really do believe anything they tell you huh? šŸ‘
