[-] nothx@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

Yeah, mail in ballots coming from Russia.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Fucking everything is Russia now

Joe Biden's own actions? Russia.

Your favorite site taking ad money from ultra right wing lunatics? Russia.

That bump in the attic? Believe it or not, Russia.

You, me, and countless other posters have said this exact line. This would work as the only tag line on the home page.

[-] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

Hillary ran a shit campaign, particularly in swing states, that was the primary reason.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 39 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Look just because you can't understand the 12 dimensional chess move of not visiting Wisconsin, doesn't mean it was a shit campaign. Or her sex pest advisor. Or not telling anybody but her competitive sycophants that she was feeling under the weather before her trip to the 911 memorial. Or the pied piper strategy. Or the being under federal investigation for months ahead of the election. Or, jeez this might go on for a while.

But, also the USA is shit and Trump is exactly the candidate it deserved. He played all the of the US's Favorite Hits and the media made sure he got plenty of coverage.

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

not visiting Wisconsin

Her campaign strategists had figured out that every time she visited an area, her poll numbers got worse, so this may have been the correct move. Plus, I wouldn't wish Hillary on Wisconsin -- they have enough to deal with as it is.

it's okay, i dont think our opposition parties have figured out how and why orban keeps winning... this seems to be normal behavior

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 86 points 5 months ago

At this point I’m calling this a dedicated campaign on the part of Biden and the democrats to get Trump elected. If they were trying their best to get Trump to win it would look no different from what they’re currently doing so i have to assume that’s what they’re doing.

[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 55 points 5 months ago

The purpose of a system is what it does.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

I almost put that as the last sentence of my comment

[-] crispy_lol@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

The democrats love losing, getting owned is their favorite thing

[-] betelgeuse@hexbear.net 80 points 5 months ago

Democrats get elected after the most important election of our lives, with the mandate to end populist fascism and bring back the Obama years. Then they spend 3 years fucking up, then calling anyone who notices a dumb hick russian bot. Now it's a few months out and it's time for the most important election again.

It's how we always slide to the right. They never do shit, just hop from one gaff to another with a smug attitude.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 74 points 5 months ago

Imagine being a Democrat right now.

Imagine being so unappealing that you lose to Trump

It's an embarrassment. But they (their donors) refuse to go left, so they'll lose. Simple.

[-] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

They're not even pretending to pander like they usually do. There's no gestures at minimum wage increases, there's no promises about making homes more affordable or bringing down cost of living generally, who has even heard about healthcare reform since 2021?

We're dying young and poor and they're telling us to "be grateful for it, or else!" Or else what?! The largest orangest adult son will embarrass the bourgeoisie to their cultured European friends? Who gives a shit?! Couldn't triangulate a worse position if you tried.

Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as lol, the second time as lmao, even.

[-] invo_rt@hexbear.net 50 points 5 months ago

With the electoral college, Trump really only lost by ~80K total votes across four swing states and that's with Brandon winning the popular vote by 6M and historic voter turnout. All that to say that the country barely DIDN'T elect Trump last time so I'm not surprised that he has a shot this time.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

iirc, it was even less than that. 43,000 across three states. arizona, georgia, and wisconsin. I think.

God what fucking world are these people living in? The economy is good??? Inflation is solved??? My grocery and gas bills are still nearly double what they were before Biden took office so I’m going with “That’s a fucking lie”

[-] ryepunk@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

Don't you see they have statistics on their side though!

I'm so tired of hearing "real wage growth has rebounded faster than ever before!"

Really? In what fucking jobs that working class people are working? You telling me grocery store workers are getting paid more? Or delivery drivers? Looking into the data I'm sure the growth is entirely driven by the top 40% of earners who don't love in anything close to the precarity that average working class folks do.

The only reason there is any gains at all is because unions are striking and just vaguely point at rent increases and grocery food prices and even company negotiators are forced to grant giant raises because public perception would annihilate them otherwise.

Claiming Biden caused any of this is ludicrous. He made the rich get richer and we have to fight tooth and nail for every cent we claw back from them. Fuck Biden he deserves to lose, and it's a shame Trump is the alternative, because the path forward is bad or worse.

Yeah they act as if Biden himself magically invented inflation and Trump will magically fix it. Breaking news: that’s not how that works.

Uh breaking news when inflation happens people kick out the ones in power even if the ones they replace them with don't actually change anything.

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago

Guy who says he will do something about the rapidly lowering working class quality of life is running against guy who says he will not do something about the rapidly lowering working class quality of life. Both are fascists with nearly identical beliefs

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

After barely winning because Trump killed 2 million people with shitty decisions he only pissed off labor activists, climate activists, people who care about immigration, Healthcare, abortion and genocide.

Surely the 4 people who don't care about any of that and also aren't already voting for Trump will be an effective coalition.

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 34 points 5 months ago

cause it's a stupid country full of assholes

Death to America

The Democrats are like the restored Bourbons: "They forget nothing and learn nothing."

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

Being the president doesn't bring in the money that being the opposition party does so it's time to lose the election

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

At least the libs might start organizing under Trump and recognize that the US shouldn't be committing genocide. I don't get how these people fail to realize that of your elections are between two fascists your priorities shouldn't be electoralism, they should be:

  1. Educate
  2. Organize
  3. Arm yourself
  4. Train
  5. Agitate

Once the system only supports fascists, change cannot be made made inside of it.

most braindead sub on reddit-logo, and that's saying something

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

That sub... That fucking sub. The whole damn thing is an experiment on the liberal brain. They figured out a Skinner box to get them to clap like trained seals for the most meaningless gestures of 'slay Queen energy', while their government nakedly does the opposite of what they say they want. It's trained them to respond to theatrics and think of themselves as being the main good guy character in a never ending struggle. It's come down to nothing more than entertainment, football for socially inept debate club dweebs.

How do you salvage a country where Trump is the harm reduction candidate 3 times in a row?

[-] Ishmael@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

I put it this way: Obama led to Trump. Biden is the older whiter half of the Obama administration. Why would that not obviously lead back to Trump?

I even made this argument when I was canvassing for Bernie in 2019. Boggles my mind so many libs can't see it.
