'It's very possible': Trump floats imprisoning his political opponents
Discussing his guilty verdict, Trump said his opponents were going down a "terrible path."
You're viewing a single thread.
There’s no realistic alternative to voting for Biden.
It’s either; make sure Trump loses, or watch the USA and the bulwark of democracy it represents around the world be destroyed.
(Edit: sorry for the rant)
I think most of the ‘low information voters’ (this actually means ‘low intelligence’ but people are afraid to say that) who think Trump is ‘as good or better than the other guy’ are utterly deluded. Their basic lack of intelligence and education has shown this to be the case anyway.
There is absolutely no excuse for voting for Trump unless you are utterly fucked in the head, or so cynical that you think you might make some Pugh money to survive once the US government implodes.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Disclaimer: I’m not American.
I fear too many people falsely believe that voting for Trump will somehow improve the economy for some reason. They believe that the freedoms we will lose and the marginalized groups that will suffer is just a fair trade in exchange for having a slightly easier time being gainfully employed. This won't be the case for anyone that's not a neurotypical straight white christian male but most of them won't realize this until it's too late.
Yeah the perception that he's somehow a brilliant money person is a sticky one.
His financial acumen couldn't hold a candle to the brilliance of even an average economics graduate.
He has his name on some things but it seems like a lot of fraud, embezzlement, and borrowed money covered over with the thinnest veneer of "success".
Apparently if he had taken the money his daddy gave him, and left it alone he would be considerably richer than he is, and still would have been able to buy whatever he wanted, other than giant towers that consistently depreciated in value.
LOL the only ‘employment’ they might see is picking over the bodies of dead and dying as the entire country is destroyed.
or watch the USA and the bulwark of democracy it represents around the world
Are you guys going to tell him?
[...] or watch the USA and the bulwark of democracy it represents around the world be destroyed.
Ok...but I'm watching that occur right now under Biden anyway. Like, dems desperately need to stop moving to the right, the distinction that you're trying to draw is becoming less and less meaningful with every lesser of two evils elected.
We need a party that allows fighters to lead the way, not fascists and corporate lapdogs. The party politics need to change yesterday, it's difficult for many voters to see that happening if neoliberalism isn't kicked to the curb.
Biden is not, as a matter of fact, pushing the Dens rightwards. He is however being forced to make decisions against his nature purely through the machinations of the GOP and their puppet masters. Oh and don’t forget the Zionist lobby who are effectively the Nazis reborn into their victim’s skin.
The US does not represent democracy. And it is ever more clear it is not a democracy, but rather the illusion of one controlled by oligarchs and private interests. There is merely an illusion of choice.
Ok. And...?
I actually lo-key kinda agree with you, and think it’s ripe for all manner of improvements, but it’s still the best we have.
Other than all the places with more functional democracies.
What America is a mediocre democracy with a shitload of money and a relatively large population, and that is what matters. There simply is no other singular nation that could stop, for example, China from conquering Japan.
There are alliances that could, but the overreliance on American power has created an absolutely devastating implementation if America turns outright fascist itself, not even getting into what it means if the two largest nuclear nations become expansionist allies.
The US is indeed a mediocre democracy because of the corruptIon of the system that money has enabled.
There are too many business loopholes and carve-outs to realise a fair society.
That corruption exists in most western democracies. The problem is the dogmatic worship for a 200+ years constitution. Temporary fixes won't do. You guys need to come together and write a NEW modern and functional constitution.
Fuckin tell me about it.
You have the choice not to vote for literally hitler, mate.
In a one-party dictatorship you also get the option to vote or not vote in the single candidate.
You guys really should wake up from that dream...
Keep going strong. You are not yet in a dictatorship but you will soon be. Good job, and vote Cthulhu, don't choose the lesser evil.
Okay Ivan.
It is a totalitarian capitalist democratic republic.
What would you call people who won’t vote for Trump but refuse to vote for Biden too because Gaza?
Edit: To be clear I agree with all the replies here
"people who want Trump to be president"
People who are going to get Trump elected.
This.
I wonder what outcomes for Gaza such people think a Trump presidency would result in
Well, same thing happens with Gaza, but also Ukraine loses. So take that, Biden.
Morons. Trump would be worse for Gaza and it's not like he's pretending otherwise.
But there are other choices than trump and biden!!1!! You can totally not support trump while not voting for biden!!
No you can't, you morons. It's one or the other.
Dulional? Idiots? Take your pick.
Idiots
I’m not sure. Perhaps too driven by single-issue foreign policy to understand the wonder ramifications of potentially allowing Trump to win.
The thing they need to understand is that right now a vote for Biden is not a mandate for HIM or necessarily all of the policies that he is forced to carry out (and I mean forced by both GOP shenanigans (immigration stuff) and global strategic positions (Israel)) its a vote to stop the US being turned (even further) into a right wing shithole.
