Wait until Trump gets into office and becomes a dictator "on day one only." This will be legal.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago

The Purge. Brought to you by Carls Jr and President Trump.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Doubt it. He couldn’t do it in his first term why the fuck would he suddenly be able to make it happen the second term? He’s a pile of shit but he wouldn’t ever make it happen.

Obligatory fuck Trump comment.

It took the Nazis two tries, too.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 13 points 6 months ago

Despite the downvotes, you're probably right. Not because they won't try, but because they're not smart enough to pull it off.

They will do monumental damage in the process of trying, though.

@Lifecoach5000 Ok, I will remind you on Friday May 2, 2025 at 8:40 AM PDT.

Isn't it legal now? Did the US government nullify any Boeing contracts because of the first murder? Any of the Boeing heads and their government stooges in prison?

You don't have to wait it's already happening. Vote red and blue out

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago

Who exactly am I supposed to vote for that has a credible chance of beating both Trump and Biden?

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

I agree, and strongly believe that the most helpful way forward in this respect would be to implement ranked choice voting, which is just about as out-of-reach to most Americans as a viable third-party candidate is today.

Maybe the next try at democracy will be the one that sticks.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

I would love an alternative to our current FPTP system, but I don't see it happening.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

You can vote for whoever you want, at this point pretty much everyone has a chance to beat these two mad men

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

That's ludicrous. You show me one poll that agrees with you.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

You are supposed to vote for the best nominee not according to made up poll

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Maybe you throw your vote away on someone who has zero chance of winning, but that's not how I vote.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Votes aren't like your bigmac, you can't throw them away

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

You absolutely can. By voting for someone who has no chance of winning. It's purely a thing to make you feel good about yourself. And no one will know either. You could claim you voted for Cornel West but actually vote for Trump and no one will be able to say you were lying.

I'm never going to get what I want, so I vote pragmatically. And stopping the guy who literally says he's going to be a dictator seems like a pretty fucking important thing to do.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Children in gaza and in the middle east will be the judges of your vote

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

How many Palestinian children's lives will voting for a candidate that will definitely lose save?

Go back to Russia shill. No rational human would equate red and blue.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I challenge you to locate russia on a map

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

Don’t need to. I’d just ask you to tell me where homeland is lol.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

planet earth, i wonder what is yours

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

yeah fuck colors, i like numbers. I'm voting for numbers this cycle around.
