Time and time again I remember this meme
Basically democracy is government after the people, by the people, for the people . . . but people are retarded . . .
Is it too early to start talking about the abysmal failure of the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” strategy?
It’s more like: wut! I gotta get off my couch and what in line. Fuck that. It can’t be that bad.
Oh it’s going to be bad now but don’t worry about voting again. He said so. You can stay on your couch and never vote again…even if you really want to.
He said so.
Do stop with the liberal hysterics. It hasn’t helped you much, has it?
Pretending to be democratic isn’t something the US is going to stop doing any time soon, so yes, you will be voting again.
There is a saying…
Make a mistake once and you can call it learning, make a mistake twice and you are eh… not so smart
Americans need education.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
And you hit the nail on the head - Americans absolutely need better education. Unfortunately, it’s not a priority, nor is it funded adequately.
Didn’t dubya say it best?
Something, something won’t get fooled again?
Biden must be laughing his ass off right now. Should have let the old guy run. Turns out no one really cared about the presidents age.
Or just let any white man run. I’m sad to say it but this country hates women and it hates people of color.
The old guy should have never run for a second term so we could have had a chance at an actual full dedemocratic campaign out of someone.
What devil has this guy made a deal with? No matter how stupid, obnoxious or abrasive he is, people worship him. He constantly screws himself over and then before he has to face serious consequences he trips on a rock and somehow everything’s alright again for him. At this point he literally can shoot someone on 6th Avenue and get away of it. I think Trump is solid evidence that we’re living in a simulation and somebody is fucking with us, because life just doesn’t work the way it works for him. Somebody’s thumb is on the scale.
What devil has this guy made a deal with?
He cut a Faustian Bargain with the soul of America. And like Faust, he gets to spend his days capering and clowning about his social superiors, making unholy mischief in a kingdom that is itself revealed to be terminally corrupt and wholely damned.
Trump took the Objectivist philosophy that’s guided this country for a generation and embodied it. He is Reaganism in its manifest state. Just a guy entirely out for himself who has convinced 71M other people to do the same.
What’s more concerning is that millions more people saw it and didn’t bother to stop him.
Jokes aside, he was heavily supported by Russia and Israel who do have quite some influence through social media
That thumb has a name, Putin
Putin didn’t GAF about Donald Trump until he became useful enough. By that time the Orange Sack of Shit had already been stiffing creditors and skirting the law for decades, somehow living a life of abject luxury anyway, when if nature had taken its usual course he would have been a bankrupt nobody hustling $10 bar bets.
People need to stop blaming voters, we all need to start understand why this happen more and more in the world and not judge the voters for their decision. I have some theories but its not the time or place, but stop say “people are dumb” or “People need educations”… 100 million people cant be all dumb or uneducated, go deeper!
It feels so fucking obvious to me and it has for the 20 years I’ve been voting, I fucking voted for dennis kucinich lol. There’s a reason Bernie was able to cut through the noise. He had a blunt and obvious, class based, economic ideology. That’s where he planted his flag.
The ‘third way’ Democrat machinery seems to plant it’s flag on reactionary culture war issues. Even if that’s only the perception, not reality, they always take the bait.
AND WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE SO GOD DAMNED LONG FOR TRUMP TO BE CHARGED FOR J6? If you want to call them Nazis you have to do Nuremberg when you have the fucking chance.
They’ve been conditioned for 8 years that any negative thing they read or hear about their leader is “fake news”, and likely their own pride of not wanting to consider the possibility they could be mistaken has made them easy targets for the misinformation machine at Fox News to avoid telling them objective facts to instead pander to their emotions and tell them what opinion they should have. Mass manipulation by biased media.
Yes, yes they can.
Both can be true.
You’re telling me… There’s multiple issues and reasons in play… At the same time???
This is getting entirely too complicated for me.
I also think part of the problem is that with the internet, we may just have a lot of data readily available, so much so people are overwhelmed they just tune it all out. We can spend a lot of time wondering why people vote the way they do but if the losing party doesn’t take the time to be retrospective and humble as to why they lost then I can’t blame people for that too much.
Im sorry, but if Gaza, egg prices, and Harris not havjng a Y chromosome is enough for a magat trifecta, the voters are the problem. Not just the ones who stay home or vote third party, all of them. Americans are whats wrong with America
trump may be the iceberg that sinks the ship but people must not forget that it was obama that steered it so expertly there.
whatever he has done in his eight years to engender such deeply entrenched hatred within the populace – so much that even morons like mr. 47 can exploit it so readily – needs to be studied so that it can be avoided in the future.
Obama didn’t start Fox news bro. Obama didn’t defund education and get rid of civics classes. Obama didn’t cut taxes on the billionaire class and corporations. Obama didn’t sell those same billionaires and conglomerates the major news outlets. The voting population in America only know what they’re told because they’re never taught to think critically. Look at the rise of disinformation regardless of political ideology. Look at the rise in scams.
you’re mixing up trump’s eventual misdeeds with the fact that the usa has undergone a massive transformation towards the right under the eight years of obama.
i’m talking about the seeds which were sown, you’re talking about the harvest which followed. these are two separate things.
each of your assertions have flourished under the manure of the obama tenure – even if they didn’t happen during his presidency.
but, sure. live in denial and give him a pass. just don’t moan when history repeats itself. as a non-american, it’s no skin off my back.
So Reagan’s two terms and his VPs term had nothing to do with it? The creation of the CNN 24 hour news cycle and the need to fill it had nothing to do with it? Decades of attacking public school budgets had nothing to do with that? Why the focus on Obama? These problems started 30 years before he was elected.
God what an ugly bug he is.
Are there betting markets for when that turd drops dead?
He will live through his term. Watch.
This is so disgraceful. Usa. Seriously… Wtf
It’s 80 degrees in November. America has reelected a climate change denier. SUV sales continue to rise.
If only Americans had voted for the party that was going to fix climate change…
Which one was that again?
You’re not going to like this, but it was the Green Party.
Oh I’m totally with you, it’s the rest of this instance that you have to contend with
In that two party system?
“Go ahead, throw your vote away!” -Kodos
The Green Party? Yeah, hopefully before we all burn up. Stein still got <5% this time.

I can’t feel as bad as I once did about mass shootings anymore. It’s what we asked for.
Back Again
I’d have used his garbage costume picture.
Shithole country.
Hopefully dems nominate someone who actually has soul instead of a walking checklist like Kamala. Oh, who am I kidding? They won’t learn anything from this either.
Was that really the issue? She felt pretty “souly” to me. I’m wondering if it’s more voter turnout and people not being ready to vote for a woman (for whatever reason).
I mean was Biden really above and beyond Harris? He beat Trump, and Trump arguably has even less going for him this election.
It was Martin Prince vs Bart Simpson.
She ran a traditional campaign on issues, Trump got them chanting “More asbestos” difference is they voted.
The Dems need to realise that this is now a popularity contest and you have to fight a cult of personality with a cult of personality.
He beat Trump,
Yes, but after four years of being traumatized by Trump voters would have turned out for a blow-up doll. The same will probably happen in four years’ time, I reckon.
I’d say Harris actually had a lot more “Not Trump” energy than Biden could ever muster, but her inability to promise the voting anything other than just more of the same and the fact that Biden and the Dems have actually done zilch to stop the right-wing insanity in the past four years just demoralized the voting public.
