Fixed this for you

Not voting for Montgomery Burns.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 56 points 5 months ago

Burns is so much more competent and successful than trump.

Maybe sideshow Bob would work as trump but even he is probably too good to be equated to trump

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Sideshow Bob is actually an eloquent speaker, and is more the psychopathic kinda crazy, not the "Right now, Obama is spying on me through the microwave!"

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Just a reminder to our American cousins that in British English, trump means the noise an elephant makes but also to fart: "Sorry I trumped." Donald the Trump is a noisy noxious unwanted thing on the world stage.

Yea, this is a good comparison. A washed up, talentless, lying, cheating, stealing, has-been hack of a clown, or a pretty cool old guy that’s been around the world, has cool stories to tell, loads of wisdom but falls asleep every now and then… like the clown does at court.

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 76 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Trump is FAR more dangerous than just some clown, you nailed it.

[-] Aeri@lemmy.world 37 points 5 months ago

I'd say Sideshow Bob is more apt, only Bob was kind of smart.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

How about Snake?

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 5 months ago

The clown is however also old. And cursed.

It amazes me that one of the largest countries in the world, with the most diverse demographics, can only chose between two candidates. This is not democracy. It's a shit show that has been going on for far too long.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 43 points 5 months ago

America is a one party dictatorship, and in typical American extravagence, it has two of them.

Tradition and inertia.

The USA is proud to have the oldest and longest-standing written constitution. The fact it hasn't been rewriteen in a long time help explain why there's still an electoral college, slavery for prisoners (13th amendements), and weak regulation of campaign finance.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

Oldest active constitution is San Marino.

[-] Hirom@beehaw.org 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That's interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.

My point is having a very old constitution isn't much of a boast if keeping it as-is causes political issues.

didn't you vote in the primary? why not?

Americans got to choose between many candidates, and out of those, it's down to 6, and of those 6, it's only really likely 2, that's true.

But it isn't quite like you imply.

[-] StThicket@reddthat.com 10 points 5 months ago

I didn't vote in the primary, because I'm not American.

The shitty thing is by the time my states primary pretty much every else has dropped out. We need to run the primary like a real election not piecemeal.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The RNC never intended to run a candidate other than Trump because he controls MAGA, which is what remains of their energized base. The primaries they held were “just in case” Merrick Garland actually did something useful and successfully prosecuted Trump for insurrection, which never came to pass.

The DNC did everything they could to prevent primary elections from occurring in various states, and bullied anyone who was floating a run into submission. This included the state dept making calls to state DNC committees to cancel primaries, or remove certain candidates from their ballots. According to them, it was an insult to Biden admin and their legacy to even suggest another candidate should run. And now look where that’s gotten us.

So no, we didn’t actually vote in primaries this year because the establishment refuses to relinquish the status quo.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 34 points 5 months ago

what's weird about this is that Trump has been in The Simpsons plenty of times.

Here's Jeb kicking him in the nuts:

I'm from Europe (Hungary) and I watched the first 20 minutes of the debate (with the intent of finishing the whole thing in one go) before turning it off while basically being on the brink of crying. The US presidents basically have as much say in my life as my own government (if not more) and even though I can't vote for them, if I had to I'd be lost. Because it's not that one is old and the other is crazy it's a freaking Venn diagram of crazy RFK jr., demented Biden and then of course crazy and demented Trump. Seeing the debate and how these people basically can't put two sentences after each other without breaking up is terrifying. And one of them will be voted into the most important office on the planet.

I mean it's shit over here. We can choose between a guy who already stole half of our country, someone whose messy divorce somehow made him the most important member of the opposition and this other guy who stole the other half of the country before the current dude did. (And that's just the tip of the iceberg). But maaan are we a lot better off than the world's greatest country where two unsupervised parties get to point at the people you can vote into this ridiculously powerful position. And then they pick these guys.

We're all going to die and I can't even vote for whoever gets us killed, which is ultimately for the better. This way I can die with a clear conscience.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

... which is ultimately for the better. This way I can die with a clear conscience.

i envy you and i wish i could say the same thing because i have to vote for biden or else we'll regress backwards in addition to dying.

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

I kinda feel like this is unfair to Krusty...

[-] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

I’ve never seen anybody do Krusty so dirty. He’s just a depressed celebrity with substance abuse problems. Necessarily a bit shady, probably not a great role model, but there is a human being somewhere under that makeup!

This really is the year of the douche and the turd sandwich

[-] Ranvier@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Age up the clown some too with some wrinkles, that clown is 78, almost as old as the other guy.

Also poor Krusty, being compared to Trump.

Except Trump is also an old fool. It's not better to say with clear speaking that he wasn't responsible for all the things he screwed up, that he didn't BADLY botch covid response, that he didn't hand out money, that he didn't support the vaccine he also took credit for making, that Jan 6 didn't happen, that Charlottesville didn't happen, that he didn't call the neo nazis who killed a person 'fine people' that he didn't stoke violence very intentionally. That he didn't tell Proud Boys ''stand down and stand by'' that he isn't calling for a dictatorship if he ever gets elected.

Yes. Biden has a speech impediment, and clearly struggles with that particularly now that he's getting quite old. But what he said wasn't insane claims that reality is in fact not reality.

Trump world be Mr burns, Snake or Sideshow bob

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Snake is stronger, Sideshow Bob is much more intelligent and Mr. Burns knows how to run a business. Unfair comparison.

I know it's just a meme, but Krusty would be a silly and ineffective president at worst. You'd have to combine the worst traits of many of the shows most horrible characters to create someone similar to trump, and even then I'm not sure any character in that show attempted a coup and sent a mob to attack the Capitol.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Well, what are we supposed to do? Choose a presidential candidate who was born after the Battle of the Bulge?

[-] WaxiestSteam69@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

This is way too accurate.

I'm rooting for Hank Scorpio.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 5 months ago

"When you get home there will be another floor on your house" -Hank Scorpio

I got to say Hank was a great boss. Really rewarded his team. The kind person we should all strive to be.
