Kincardine, ON – Local man Allan Terry has expressed his belief that the Democrats need to improve their messaging and policy efforts if they want to win the next Presidential election, charmingly revealing that he thinks there will be another fair and free Presidential election in his lifetime. “Clearly Democrats need to totally reshape their […]

    Obviously they’ll run the election Russian-style, as Americans still like to think of themselves as free.

      This has “Obama is going to send all conservatives to FEMA camps” vibes. Like you guys are just as crazy as the QNuts at this point.

      And since I have to say this, yes I voted for Harris.

        Did Obama stand in front of supporters and TV cameras and say all the conservatives will end up in camps?

        Because I’ve definitely seen Trump stand in front of supporters and TV cameras and say this is the last time we’ll need to vote.

        I’m sure that the guy who convinced a fuck ton of people - including elected and appointed officials - that an election was “stolen” from him, and fomented an actual violent coup attempt, and who has openly mused about using the Insurrection Act to put US military boots on US soil to enact his policies, and who is now president elect, with full control of all three branches of government, would never think of mashing those two together and “postponing” the midterm elections because “even the US military is unable to keep these elections from being stolen.”

        Wow, I sure was being crazy, I feel so much better now.

          Hey, even if you lose an election, that’s still a good chance to turn a profit. Those pussy hats and rainbow flags basically print money! Just tell any white person they’re being “an ally”, and they eat that shit up!

          Maybe democrats should start selling NFTs, and tell people that for each one they buy, they’re adopting some migrant kid who’s sitting in one of the concentration camps Biden never shut down.

    In 2028, the Democrats won’t even be on the ticket, and most of America still won’t vote third party.

      I’d like to see Bernie try to spin up a third party; not for himself to run for office, but just to divorce from the DNC and give leftist politicians a fighting chance using his name/approval.

    I think this should be a good way to win back money from failed Harris bets. I’d dare to put some money on a bet that there is going to be elections in 2028 and Trump is not going to be a candidate.

    One of those win/everythingsfucked kind of bets.

      Well. He’s super old and eats like shit. There is a good chance he won’t be the nominee because he dies in office.

      Don’t bet JD Vance won’r be on the ticket though

        🙄

        What people? The multitudes that comprise the user base of social media? Normal people aren’t thinking that.

        Then why didn’t it happen in 2020? This is getting ridiculous.

            That’s not even close to the same thing. One is the accusation that a sitting president would ensure there will not be another election implying he would hold office until he chooses otherwise.

            Your link is about a bunch of rednecks trying to interrupt the confirmation of a person who was already elected to be the next president (which means the election already took place).

            There are plenty of genuine reasons to shit on Trump. Stick to the truth.

        I’ll tell ya what. In four years, if he deconstructs our form of government, uses the military to silence his opponents, and proclaims himself god king of Merica, I’ll eat my words.

        But we both know nothing even approaching that will happen. He’ll talk shit, use Twitter as he poops, then talk some more shit. Fin.

    A technical note: they need to sort their communication out earlier, by the midterm congressional election. Apparently, their communication didn’t reach the voters, and voters were in a mood for hearing sweet lies from a criminal oligarch. They need to think of how to change that…

    US society needs to somehow withstand 2 years of Trump running loose.

    One can also hope that some senators or representatives are old enough to retire (or courageous enough to defect), changing the composition of the Congress before that. That might prevent or slow Trump from steamrolling new laws into force, until something has been figured out.

      Yeah, Trump is stupid, but he’s also self-centered. He’s gonna care about making himself a dictator eventually, but he’s got a lot of vengeance to start with. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hope that we’ll still have elections by 2026, and that there’ll be a moment to throw a stick in the spoke.

    They have their shit together. This is how they operate. Next election will be more of exactly the same.
