That isn’t how the usa does all elections. For example, the Cheeto was elected by the electoral vote but not the popular vote. See how that works?

And the electoral vote is in place because the Republicans and the Democrats you voted for choose to keep it in place. See how that works? Dems love it when the electoral vote works in their favor, and hate it when it doesn't. Republicans do the same thing.

I'm totally fine with popular vote. How come no republican has changed it? How come no democrat has changed it? Oh because they both favor it when it works in their favor.

I say fuck it, popular vote from now on. Let's do it! I'd love that! I'm with you, comrade! So which pres candidates are pushing for it? Let's support them. Give me a list.

I have no reason to be uncivil. I totally get that I'm outnumbered on Lemmy. I also strongly support people voting for whatever party they deem acceptable. I have no issues with people voting for Democrats.

Heck, I actually liked Bernie and was disappointed to see how he was treated. I personally wouldn't have voted for him, but he's a stand up guy and I respect him. But they picked Hillary over him. Ugh, of all people. Then this time around, propping up Harris who was just a Biden clone.

Here's the thing. Unless you all really really REALLY fuck up, in three years there will be a Dem in office. Back and forth, that's how it goes.

But really, what's changed? Dems drop the ball. Republicans drop the ball. But everyone keeps keeping on. Same thing, same shit, different election. Every. Single. Time.

I'll tell ya right now, I'll vote for the person that will get us Flat Tax. And age limits. Regardless of party. I don't care if there is a D or an R behind their name.

What irritates me way more than Dems or Repubs is the fact that everyone just puts up with shit because they are blindly loyal to their party. I love the chaos troll that Trump is. I want the entire system to go down, and be built from the bottom up.

I'm not blindly loyal to any party. I think we should totally start over. I want the next prez to be someone who has actually worked for a living. No fucking lawyers, or ivy league guys/gals. No fucking nepo babies. I want the next person to be someone who actually knows what it's like to do shit work and worry about car payments. I don't care what the letter is behind his name, he/she'll get my vote.

Until that happens, I'm gonna laugh as it all goes to shit. People are sheep. And this is what people deserve for letting rich people make decisions for them.

People need to wake up. And if it took another term of Trump to shake the status quo, well, I'm here for it.

I don't take any of it too personal tho. I lightly follow politics and make some posts on Lemmy. My real life is not affected. I live my life independent and make sure I'm off grid and me and the gf don't depend on anyone, and def don't depend on the government. I'm stocked up no matter what happens. I got my gal, my guns, my food, my water, my livestock, my land. I'm good.

Please be more specific. Who are the three fellows with the dicks? Like my friends or your friends? Or is this a total stranger glory hole kinda scene? Are you making a pass at me? Not sure what you mean.

Yes, if you threaten violence against elected officials I will report you to the FBI. And for now I have reported your comments to the mods and to your admin. You are violating TOS on multiple instances.

I agree that we should be moving forward. News just in is that Dems caved and are agreeing to Republican demands, and the govt shutdown will end now. That's good news! Looks like other people are moving forward too. That's a good thing.

People get what they vote for, I suppose. I voted for Trump, so I have no complaints.

Cool. And I'm going to vote the way I want to. See how that works? Welcome to democracy. Whoever the most vote for, wins. Yay!

Well I like the tariffs. I like him reducing a lot of useless govt waste. I like the stronger scrutiny on people who take advantage of welfare. I like the fact that people who have broken the law and are here illegally, are getting sent back to their home countries. I personally have gained a fuckton on stocks and crypto. In fact, I bought a bunch more at the recent dip a couple of days ago. That's gonna help me profit. He's talked of a $2K refund from the tarriffs.

I like him. You don't have to though. But, well, more people voted him in than who voted for Harris. Guess you all better come up with a better candidate next time. Or you're gonna lose again to the next republican pres candidate.

Well, I’m not going anywhere. I’ve always been here.

Meanwhile, you’re so enraged by my comments, that you seem to have trouble understanding english and consider it gobbledygook.

You need a break. Are you ok?

Actually YOU came here to have endless pointless. This is a conservative community and I post things relating to conservatives. You're not a conservative, so you're the one who's ragebaiting and just trying to argue.

When do you leave?

Then you should be happy! Everything will be socialist soon. So why are ya so mad?

Maybe it's not, but the US is awesome and the best country in the world. Which is why so many people wanna come here. Also, just know that Lemmy is gonna really really hate you if you don't automatically think the US is capitalist and totally evil. lol

So if it's so awesome, how come there aren't more socialist countries that are successful? If it's soooo awesome, there should be way more socialist countries. Right?:)
