    At this rate I fully expect the democrats to fumble the midterm elections which should be literally the easiest campaign in decades.

    Now that everyone has been reminded about trump, the dnc can run the same candidates from before and people will know to go with it this time, right?

      You joke, but can you honestly tell me this place wouldn’t be full of people making trolley problem ““arguments”” about the obviously correct choice to make?

      Hey, how about run better candidates? You’d think losing to the worst human being in existence would suggest trying something new.

        Hey, Trump may be shipping Americans to El Salvador, but worst human being in existence is a bit of a stretch.

        After all, Obama ate a hot dog with Dijon fucking mustard.

        Joe really knew how to handle trump. When trump yapped and yapped, Joe basically just went “dang man, can you shut the fuck UP” and it worked for a term 🙏

        And then came Kamala

          Sure, but his brain was soup by 2024. That’s kinda the main reason people are pissed with the Dems, because they hid this until Joe shit the bed for millions to see — during a debate, no less.

          Kamala’s campaign was mostly failed by bad advisors: Clinton staffers and James Carville types who hadn’t won an election in 20 years, they were the ones who made them triangulate, not break from Biden on policy, and even move to the “middle” by getting the Cheneys to tour with them. They retreated the “weird” attack and “we’re not going back” slogan, even as people kept using the former online and chanting the latter at rallies.

          They ratfucked her campaign about as hard as Trump is now ratfucking the country.

      Lol

      I’d rather join The Resistance than The Collaboration.

      The fuck are they going to do now? Keep defending the new status quo?

    Honestly, if Trump wants to change the laws for a third time, that finally allows the Trump x Obama battle xD

      I do not think they will pass a constitutional amendment, so if Trump runs this will end up in court. I would like to see SC struggling to handle Obamas and Trumps case together.

        Usually they just ignore the courts and do what they want, but in this case it would be difficult to actually hold a nationwide election, even a sham one, because it would require enough of the states to cooperate and put him on the ballot. The only way he stays in is if he just refuses to leave or if the SCROTUS says that Trump is President for life because reasons.

      Does it weird anyone else out how “centrists” or “moderates” or whatever they want to call themselves need to bash leftists when nobody was even talking about leftists? It feels like an op.

      Is this “person” I’m replying to living in the same universe as we are? If this feels like valid criticism to anyone, please go touch some grass and talk to your therapist about it.

        Sure. I also like the implication that you have to vote for any educated black woman because she’s a black woman.

        I voted for her because a shitlib is technically better than a fascist but as long as liberals think identity is policy they’re going to lose.

        Any vaguely political post gets hit by corpo-propaganda bots even on Lemmy. That’s why they sound like they have no idea what’s going on.
