Decision Time

"But the felon promised me cheaper eggs."

I will now cut back on all social media. Lemmy included as I get a depression from what's happening in the US. What is painfully obvious is that we Europeans must stop fucking around and federate so that we have a fucking chance wedged in between despots and idiots.

This is so. fucked. up. I'm not American (and thank fuck for that), but I'm actually feeling so ill and worried for y'all. I think it's time for me to block/unfollow any American accounts and news cause shit's about to get really fucking bleak.

America is fucked. Ukraine is fucked. The world is fucked. The only glimmer of hope is Trump drops dead before his term is out.

America wasn't built on just immigrants, it was built upon a certain type of immigrants: opportunists who placed greed above everything else. It shows.

Very accurate meme. This is me seeing that the votes between the two candidates are somehow close. This is me seeing how one of the two is even allowed to run at all.

Americans are also watching in horror FYI

Im more impressed than terrified. Choosing a guy who cheated on his wife instead of decrimanalised marijuana AND better healthcare. How???

I think it’s time to update and broaden my filter range on Lemmy for the next few years…

I kept trying to tell people that polls and surveys is just astrology for math nerds

The national identity of being Canadian over the last while has been every four years wondering if the downstairs neighbors are going to decide to restart up the meth lab they keep tinkering with and bracing for the sounds of domestic violence to resume.

Well fuck.

Yeah its one thing if youre a trump supporter because then you are just a sheep but i actually dont understand whats going on in the head if those who have to think about the decision

As an American:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

inhales

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

His IQ is currently equal to his amount of felonies

Edit: The fact that this comment has exactly 37 up votes makes it even funnier

Americans are watching this too and wondering what the fuck is wrong with our fellow Americans. This should not even be close.

I'm really hoping Harris wins, and we can make politics boring again. I know that if Trump wins, we'll hear about all the insanity he will put in place for the next four years.

Sure, if he loses, Trump will cry foul, but that doesn't have the same legs as it would if he wins.

I just want Trump to be some washed out TV "celebrity" and politics to be as entertaining as it always is: not very.

I'm not American and all I hear about right now is American politics. Y'all need to figure your shit out.

Well, if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, its hard to deny the facts. Its a corrupt system. I know everyone is all calling trump a criminal for this and that, but its like, yea, hi, welcome to America. The crazy thing is the idea that ANY person in high political office is NOT a criminal. You just don't get that high up in American politics unless you're playing dirty pool. Theres a million things one can criticize Trump for, but it just makes no sense to use the "criminal" argument unless youve spent your life living under a rock.

Professional career politician that supports israel and genocide*

i love you

With electoral reform, we could have more then two artificially limited options. We could have competition in our elections. We could be free...

The worst one for me is that there's some chode near me that displays a flag on his house fucking bragging that he's voting for a convicted felon.

They're proud of the fact that they're supporting a criminal, and I bet they'd be ok with him if he was an open Nazi as well (they're just fine with the same tactics and having literal Nazi flag wavers in their midst).

Funny - it's the same for roughly 50% of Americans too - which is horrifying.

👁️ 👁️

Edit: sorry it was more than 50% of Americans. Fuck everyone. Goodbye.

Watching America edging fascism is my pastime in between watching my own country edging fascism.

For the third time in a row

This is an insult to spoons.

Trump actually has a really high IQ. Look it up! IQ has nothing to do with being a good person.

Let's not forget the two impeachments too

As much as I'd like to make fun of the 'muricans, I'm well aware Brazil would totally do the same fucking thing with jair bolsonaro. Thankfully the fucker is ineligible for another 7 or so years, but his sons are still causing trouble.

career politician

You write 'criminal prosecutor' really strangely.

Watch the next Canadian election and be equally dumbfounded / terrified.

I will take the spoon please sir.

The writers really know how to keep the audience biting their nails, this season

Drive home from democracy and child, reflecting.. this is all a referendum on whether we choose kindness or selfishness going into the scarcity age. If evil wins today, it's not just about this government and this population. It validates whether the uprisings in Europe are a lag behind or a forward trend.

Don't forget the fake communists bragging that they won't support genocide and that's why they're not voting.

Hey, socialism angels: do you drive a car? Do you emit carbon dioxide that is projected to cause 1 billion deaths, mainly in poorer countries, by 2050? If so, why do you support genocide? You refuse to support genocide one day every 4 years, but actively participate the other 1460?

Jed: Yeah but one's a worman!

Genuine question, but why is Trump even allowed to run? I vaguely know that there are some restrictions on who can become President (you have to be a certain age and be born in the USA iirc), how can it be that "Hasn't been convicted for any crimes recently" isn't a requirement?

The South Park episode about voting always applies. It's always the choice between a douche and a turd. But even between a giant douche and a turd sandwich, one of those choices is still objectively better.

...again

And for some reason, this is called democracy. I love how fellow Americans this time of the 4 year cycle. They become more self aware and stop name-calling people from other authoritarian states.

A silver spoon though.

Living in the thick of it and that's how I feel 😮‍💨.

I know! It seemingly shouldn't be too hard of a choice. Who the Fuck would trust a career politician!?

/J (because scarily, it's needed)

It's honestly weird to use "career politician" as a negative.

Like if we're not going to elect expert policymakers then you might as well just do direct democracy and cut out the middle man.

I feel like this is a failure on the democrat side, beating donald should be trivial.

Career civil servant*

there is no spoon. seriously though, that level of iq is shared by those very supporters so they are supporting one of their own by their 'logic'.

I have qualms about casting Harris as a "career" politician. He first election for DA was in 2003. To get from running for DA to running for US President in 21 years is a very short ride. She was born in 1964.

Hell, Trump ran for President (Reform Party) in 2000, so he's been a "politician" longer than Harris. So if she's a "career politician," then so is he.

Not that there's anything wrong with being a politician for a long time, as long as the politician is serving her constituents to their satisfaction and avoids corruption.

Is there an end to Reddit's propaganda?

How is Lemmy a place for this garbage?

That “career politician” refuses to follow the law, and stop supporting a genocide.

If one of your biggest issues with someone is the 'IQ' maybe reassess your position. he's kinda goofy. He's a fucking fascist, call him that.
