I have mixed opinions. Would I rather elect someone else? Yes. But also, lack of faith in their current leader doesn't usually mean good things for incumbent parties.

I'm not actively mad about it but I agree it shouldn't have been done and shouldn't be normalized.

This. I'd agree with the sentiment that Americans don't protest enough. Most Europeans and Self-Hating Americans seem to think protests don't happen here at all.

I'm amazed Christie can be as popular as he is even.

He was really well-liked in his first term as NJ governor, but the shit he did in the last year or two is stuff so stupid and assholish we all assumed it meant he felt that he was never going to be in politics again.

As someone who is perhaps more worried about the state of the country than most (my predictions are "the Israel-Palestine conflict will lead to Republican victory" and "over half the population might have to flee" )...we just carry on I guess. What can you do? There's rising labor power in the US, Biden's been a net good for that, but that's a small silver lining that would be completely meaningless in a worst case scenario. Won't help the bigger problem of religious fascism. The Republican Party's clear incompetence and the fact that most Americans want abortions legal could've saved us, but then the election became about Israel, and that splits the Democratic base. The government failed. Knew about Russian influence for years and completely failed to effectively combat it.

Hopefully one Trump court case or another makes him unable to run, but that does not mean the Republican Party doesn't win.

Yeah I wouldn't accuse OP of this.

The overwhelming trend in non-US Westerner commentary on US politics is to is get the facts right...and then dilute it with exaggerations, stereotypes, not understanding the culture, not respecting the culture, not believing there is a culture, a general lack of empathy...

LMDE basically exists for such an event.

This sounds like the soundtrack to an action-cyberpunk reinterpretation of Ed Edd n Eddy that still maintains the slapstick element

I remember one particular year (I want to say 2019???) I saw a huge presence of people taking NNN seriously and connecting it to NoFap, when in years past and years since I've only seen it as a joke.

That and a few other things (it was the same year the Unabomber was a huge meme) I can't help but think was a psyop.

They really need to unban kei trucks here at least because of how often they're imported to this country.

I'd rather them not either, but don't underestimate the harm bad management of other organizations can and has done.

Worst for the world was Bush (so you could say Bush was more immoral) but worst for America was Trump (so you could say Trump failed at his job harder.)

Bush's actions killed a staggering number of people on flimsy evidence.

Trump changed phrases like "balkanization of the United States" and "Second US Civil War" from far-off possibilities and fun speculation to serious concerns.

Blend S. The theme song and associated meme is all this show has going for it. (In fact the theme song's first few seconds contain the whole point honestly.)

Believe me, I'm not the kind of person who hates this kind of thing on a conceptual level. I watch more anime than any other type of TV show (granted I don't watch much TV in general) and I'm not the kind of anime fan who acts "above" slice of life, wish fulfillment, or ecchi, I love shows way more "degen" than Blend S. But Blend S is just so boring I can't actually think of anything to say. It's the kind of show that is the reason why slice of life anime got shit on so much before isekai became oversaturated.

If most third party voters or vote boycotters were actively working on, in one way or another, opening avenues for ending the two party hegemony, I'd be all ears. But as it stands most are just being idealists and hoping that works out for them.

It's spectacle. Unfathomable situations are inherently interesting.

Also, he just got finished fucking already-impovershed Atlantic City when he started running.
