What are the odds of Kamala bitching about this election for the rest of her life?

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 51 points 21 hours ago

100% lol. Pretty sure Jimmy Carter and his wife, who died last year, complained about losing the election for the rest of their lives. Rosalynn was very upset. I think Gerald Ford also wanted to run again in 1980 to prove that he could win an election and be elected democratically, but the Republicans refused. I have no idea if Ford was angry with the Republicans, as Carter is at the Democrats. I think after Carter wrote that book about Israel, they basically kicked him out of the party for daring to say that Israel is practicing apartheid.

To be fair, the CIA did do some actual fuckery to make Carter lose

The whole Iran hostage thing was such obvious bullshit, Reagan runs on being the big strong conservative who can get the hostages back and it actually happens like a week into his presidency just like that? I don't buy that, I'd bet anything the CIA had an under the table deal with Iran especially since it meant having their man HW as the VP

Not that Carter isn't a war criminal piece of shit too but he's kinda like JFK in that he was slightly less shitty than average and even that was too much for the people calling the shots

The Reagan stuff is confirmed, has been for years. It's not a conspiracy theory anymore, now it's just regular conspiracy

[-] RedDawn@hexbear.net 27 points 20 hours ago

I’m pretty sure the Reagan hostage deal stuff is actually confirmed, I don’t remember though whether it was tied into his illegal arms sales to Iran or if it was entirely separate from that

Jimmy Carter still being alive is my personal Mandela effect I could have sworn he’s died like 4 times now

[-] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 27 points 20 hours ago

I mean he's old enough that statistically he really should have, he's over 100 now so it's a bit shocking when you remember that he hasn't. I always remember he's alive just because of those factoids though. He's been alive for 40% of the entire history of this despicable settler colonial fash country.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 20 points 20 hours ago

Tbf he's been barely alive for years now

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 19 points 20 hours ago

Still more alive than I prefer my U.S. presidents to be tbh

Nah I want them all to be preserved artificially past their expiration date, while being forced to watch socialism with Chinese characteristics lift the global south out from underneath the boot of western imperialism...until the day after the last capitalist society falls to the glory of socialism.

[-] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 11 points 20 hours ago

i just had this same thought. i heard he was gonna be on the talk tuah podcast and i couldve sworn he already died

[-] sempersigh@hexbear.net 12 points 19 hours ago

i heard he was gonna be on the talk tuah podcast

no fucking way

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 7 points 19 hours ago

I think he survived literally multiple types of cancer using experimental drugs, even a deadly brain tumor.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 26 points 21 hours ago

I was wondering when we're gonna get pictures of her hiking through the woods wondering where it all went wrong.

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 11 points 19 hours ago

Surely this will be the last time she runs... right? I mean she didn't even win her own state in the primaries the first time around.

We're going to get so many Kamala memes saying "I told you so" in the next 4 years

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 15 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

It is 2032 I’m sitting in a disused parking garage for shelter choking on polluted air from the refineries that exploded after the last cat 5 hurricane hit.

Someone next to me says “if it weren’t for those fucking Bernie bros in 2016….”

I throw my self off the building

[-] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 4 points 6 hours ago

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago

I would have thrown them off the building
