Um, actually it's a constitutional republic, not a democracy. We can't let society devolve into mob rule by the peasants who don't understand bombing a bunch of kids is actually in their best interests.

When they grow a bit older and get a real job and buy a house and have children, they'll know

america isn't a country, it's a tax evasion scheme with a nine digit body count

Just more evidence onto the already huge pile of: "The American government doesn't represent the will of its people."

That makes america 6.06% democratic.

That's the squad's share of the house, yeah?

the candidate who gets the most votes doesn't even win the election

[-] 420stalin69@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

Biden was probably going to lose before this but there’s zero fucking chance now.

I predict the play will be that he retires so the machine can get a fresh face, and that fresh face will run on a peace platform, allowing the neocons to rebrand the machine as resistance and then after the election, if the faceless Dem or Trump wins it doesn’t matter, then they’ll bomb Iran.

Literally zero percent chance the democratic party bows to the will of the people and swaps out Biden for somebody more progressive. They would literally saw off their own leg than set that precedent.

No it's just going to be a full year of libs pre-emptively blaming us for their failure. Fortunately after almost a decade of them doing that non stop I don't think anybody gives a shit anymore.

Personally my position at this point is basically "yeah ok good luck can't wait to see how that works for you this time"

i think they're praying for him to just die. not sure if the jokes about Kamala poisoning his apple sauce are that unlikely.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Idk I think even Kamala realizes she sucks so much she'd be the first person to have their impeachment for "being such a huge pain in the ass while simultaneously being completely useless to everybody" actually confirmed in the senate with 90% of the vote.

Kamalas only positive is somehow being able to effortlessly gaffe harder than Biden to take the heat off for a bit.

Oh, seems like the American people are calling for 'seas of fire' well, let's give em what they want.

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

But if you don't vote, democracy will fall apart.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

And they'll still vote for the same schmucks thinking anything will change.
