as you should. and of course you would, though the question is whether the American people in general will, especially considering the incredibly democratic elections you have where it doesn't matter which candidate has the most votes.
Not sure what TFG means. I would consider myself fairly well informed prior to Trump getting elected. Presidents still got the lion's share of coverage but I was fairly aware of what a lot of other political figures were doing. Since Trump was running against Hillary practically everything in US politics is about him or relating to him in some way. I still try to read news every day but it's incredibly frustrating with how much coverage that orange POS gets.
weird you switched from "we" in your previous comment to "I" here. my point was the US voters were never well informed. be it reelecting W, or picking the original celebrity president Reagan with an insane landslide, a brilliant move that would ruin the country for generations to come.
I can't speak for what information other people were paying attention to or why they voted that way. I'm not old enough to remember Reagan's election but there was plenty of information available when Bush was running there's always going to be people who refuse to consider the opposing party regardless of info they have available. My point was now there isn't even coverage available unless you really dig for it. To know about alternative candidates media picks one story (Usually about Trump) and beats it to death for weeks and even a lot of that is garbage opinion based "journalism".
So at the time people with private access were swearing up and down the emperor had clothes, the people voted in a 'primary' where the only opposition was someone no one had ever heard of with no media budget and with no debates between the candidates, and voted for the allegedly clothed emperor.
Then the emperor showed up stark naked to a debate, everyone saw with their own eyes, and people are freaking out.
But no, naked dude is definitely what "the people" want.
Do commenters regurgitating this stuff even hear themselves?
distract from what exactly? I'm talking about your own comments.
weak sauce is when you say shit without knowing anything. you said people voted 90% for Biden and i said there was no real primary. then you argued the primaries were not "rigged" so i asked who even ran against Biden and you said you didn't even know.
that's right. i knew you didn't know. that's why i asked. because you wouldn't have posted your inane initial comment if you knew what the fuck you were talking about.
