Also follow up that I forgot, I was watching Northern Exposure, at some point in season 2, the conservative former-astronaut character said that Trump was a reason to excuse his actions. This aired in the 90s as well.
Oh I love star voting, I try to use it when I can in groups/communites. I used it when a decently large discord server had its only active admin just leave randomly, and there was a handful of people interested in running. STAR enabled a good result for the top two to become co-admin. Worked well until a schism happened and 90% of the active users left, myself included.
Right, Trump is in control of the US. Trump is actively tearing apart the government. He's somehow busy wrecking everything and still whining on Twitter or Truth Social about how everything bad with tarrifs is Biden's fault and everything good despite Trump is his success.
Bernie is still fighting despite his party not being in the majority. Bernie is still doing rallies.
Harris isn't in any office, Bernie is. Clinton isn't in any office, Bernie is. Same with AOC. Out there doing national rallies to build numbers to at least get a voice of "Let's end Trump." They haven't left office.
Bernie is actively at least showing up to his job, and still finding time to go outside and do things. How does this invalidate my statement? Bernie is helping, Harris is doing nothing. Bernie is trying to gather people to stop Trump, Clinton isn't doing anything.
If Sanders keeled over, .world would be smugly saying "Aren't we glad he didn't have a chance at winning? He would have turned Murica into a socialist commie hellhole!"
And according to you, Bernie is unpopular because no one voted for him. He's still going out and about.
Harris and Clinton were unpopular, and they're doing...?
So is Bernie unpopular? Why is he drawing crowds and trying to fight Trump, drawing in more crowds than either of Trump's inaugurations or any speeches? And if Harris is unpopular, why isn't she doing the same?
If I can't laugh about something maddening, I'll go even crazier. I already have 4 mental health issues, I don't need to add more. My plate is full and I'm low on spoons.
They understand it completely, they just want to gaslit people into thinking its sane to support people who are actively hurting the ideas they swear to uphold.
I feel like almost everyone misunderstands Jon. He calls out shitty government behavior.
I remember when Jon wanted Biden to drop out after his poor debate performance, and people said he was being unfair because he [checks notes] wanted Trump to lose.
Because the DNC tipped the scales in the favor of policies that wouldn't work against Trump, yes he lost. They did it twice. And he still supported them in the fight because he wanted Trump to lose. Bernie did more speeches for Hillary than he did for himself. Bernie still supported her, Biden, and Harris.
And where's Hillary and Harris? Hiding after losing to the biggest moron in the history of the US, that makes Dubya look like a grandmaster 5D chess player.
Where's Bernie? Doing protests, doing speeches, gathering people to stop Trump still.
Documenting this in case the troll tries to delete their own words.
What a shock they're aginast Return2Ozma being correct the entire time. .world still hates R2O for correctly calling out what would cost the Dems the election.
Trump has always been the butt of a joke, Biff Tennan in Back to the Future 2 is based on Trump. Rosie O'Donald had a famous beef with him. He has always been known as a shithead.
When he announced his candidacy, my mom laughed out loud because she hoped this would be impossible and backfire in his face. She knew his stick for decades at that point. One of her rare times of being right the entire time, as her son.
The Whigs are still on the ballot then, right? Since no new parties are ever made, and third parties can never win, it's still Democratic-Republicans vs the Whigs in 2025, clearly.
They're not neglecting it, they're purposefully ignoring it. People will tag (correctly, mind you) Reagan, Nixon, and Dubya as the issue of modern America, but if you bring up the voting/writing record of the most recent Blue Guy, somehow its not their fault, people are allowed to change, people can learn better, etc. etc.
Holy shit the jokes just write themselves. It'll be amazing if .world doesn't try to censor this.
Man I am just glad I never made an account there.
