If we gotta vote for a corpse, might as well vote for the best corpse.

Unironically consider this sometimes...

[-] mars296@fedia.io 131 points 3 months ago

I don't want a president beholden to Big Peanut.

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 84 points 3 months ago

You see, unlike his predecessor he did divest himself of his personal businesses before taking office.

Habitat for Humanity is the real deep state

[-] frezik@midwest.social 25 points 3 months ago

Why do their houses have so few and such small windows? They're stockpiling the glass to build a huge lens that will focus the sun's rays to destroy the moon. The resulting storm of superheated asteroids pelting the Earth will destroy many homes, allowing them to swoop in and build new ones for everyone.

You heard it here first.

[-] BearGun@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 months ago

I did hear it here first, you are absolutely correct about that part.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

It's hilarious that he sold his peanut farm so people wouldn't worry he was self dealing as President. Which is funny because HW Bush just changed the laws so he COULD self deal without divesting in actual wealth.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Everyone else get the fuck away from me, this is the best joke I can stand to hear all day.

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Peanuts? Aren't they related to ACORN?

[-] mxcory 3 points 3 months ago

When I was a child my parents called me Acorn. They even named their dry cleaner after me.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

In my experience there just isn’t that much variation in peanut sizes tbh

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 80 points 3 months ago

Leave Jimmy alone 😭 he's suffered enough from the American political complex.

It’s depressingly funny that this isn’t necessarily a far-fetched possibility

That photo looks like an action shot of a Dementor sucking out his life force

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

The next presidential debate is September 10th. We won't find out until then whether this was just some unlucky fluke or if Biden should truly be moved to a residential care home for his own good.

By then it'll be far too late to field another candidate...

[-] Napain@lemmy.ml 19 points 3 months ago

George bush jr is only in his 70s

[-] authorinthedark@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry to remind you of this but George Bush jr served two terms

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 3 months ago

Which is where we first learned that a campaign consisting only of "Vote for me, I'm not that other guy" is doomed to fail.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It worked in 2020.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that was the swiftest boat on the political river that year.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 months ago

Woody Guthrie at the height of his ALS would be a better choice than Trump (TBH, with his attitude towards fascism, he would probably have been a better choice than Biden too).

[-] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Why on earth do so many people not realize that if you vote for a corpse, he doesnt actually get to be president? If the corpse wins, we wont even know who the president is. Imagine electing trump, but hes entirely unaccountable to anybody because nobody knows who he is. Thats what would happen if we elect a corpse. Maybe this is a hot take, but I think there should be a president.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

If the corpse wins, we wont even know who the president is.

Incorrect. That's already accounted for in most circumstances:

  • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before party convention: The convention decides the party's candidate.

  • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before election day: The party selects a replacement.

  • Candidate dies before the Electoral College meets: The only exception at this time. Some states would need to hold emergency legislature sessions to amend their laws to allow their electors to vote. Others will mainly be assigned to the running mate.

  • Candidate dies or is incapacitated before Inauguration Day: This is very clearly established in the 20th Amendment. The running mate/VP takes over and selects their new VP.

Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean that noone has prepared for the possibility.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

Like I've said before, all we need is someone to make it over the finish line before dropping dead

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 months ago

(Sorry I swear I don’t want 45 to be convicted felon 47)

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Nah this is pretty funny even in the context of the crisis

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

It would be funny if it wasn't a recycled 2016 meme

Same shit, different election year.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Nah, I think we should give it to President Brandon.

Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 13 points 3 months ago

Dianne Feinstein for VP, LFG!

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Can we find a candidate that's a little less maggot ridden?

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago
[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I was thinking of Feinstein, doh.

Good, Pelosi is a little young but I'll allow it.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

Next in line

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He'll be 100 by Nov. 2nd, so he's only 24% older than Biden. I like those odds! Maybe his running mate can be Buzz Aldrin

[-] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 8 points 3 months ago

Peanut farm man good-ish. Orange man bad.

[-] rsuri@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He would probably do better than Biden at debating Trump too.

Trump: "And what I did is I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted. "
Carter: "Eh....cought...wheeze"
Audience: "Yup Carter won that round"

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Bring back Billy Beer

[-] suction@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

We get it, you’re looking for approval for wanting to vote for Trump because he’s a little younger than Biden.
