MODERATORS
That's the part that still amazes me, a decade after he was first elected. If you asked someone 15 years ago "Who in popular culture should not be in charge of the most powerful country in the western world?" the answer would have had a high probability of being this piece of shit. What is inherently wrong with a culture that elects this fucking trainwreck TWICE?
54% of American adults can’t read at a grade 6 level.
Also a concerted cyberwar by Russia which has been going on for more than a decade.
And the election campaign funded by billionaires
And the propaganda machine funded by the same billionaires.
And they had the richest tech billionaire, and our most hostile enemy, partner up with the most prolific traitor in American history to rig the election.
What does that even mean though? I read huge books during grade 6.
Honest stupidity bordering on developmental issues plus a complete lack of morals and fixed ideology which means anything goes as long as it seems popular (sheep stay with the herd).
America is filled with pieces of human shit. He is the perfect rep for these people.
This is something important that a lot of people don't understand. Trump genuinely represents roughly 50% of the US public; they all want to be him.
I was simply born in Cascadia and I just want Oregon to secede. I know that it seems unlikely but everything that's happened is unlikely.
Reminds me of Stellaris. Fucking vassal states. What genius left the 'can declare war' setting on ?
Worse, some dumbass set the "Join their wars" to "All" instead of "None"
Can Determined Exterminators become vassals? I thought they didn't do stuff like diplomacy with anything but their own kind?
Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez.
That thread was a mess but exactly what is expected from the sort of people enabled by spez.
Why are you linking to reddit?
Just to piss you off.
The obvious solution is to only vote for server side solutions voted on by users.
If your “client” state provokes a war for you to get involved in, that makes you the client state.
If you voted Democrat or Republican you 100% voted for this.
You've sat through an entire generation now of presidents just deciding to involve us in wars, and in fact, several wars at once.
"I don't know how first past the post works"
Democrats: 1 + 1 = 2, Republicans: 1 + 1 = 3, Moderates: 1 + 1 = 2.5.
Bothsidesrthesame!!!
The irony of your reply is that the only modern president to purposely disengage us from Bush and Obama's entrenched wars was Donald, most notably in Syria and Afghanistan. Obama even started calling US soldiers 'advisors' so he could keep tens of thousands deployed in Iraq and still pretend the war was over.
But you're just going to ignore that and pretend that, sure, Democrats are the rational ones when it comes to US wars.
I'm apt to generally not trust the party that spews disinformation, flawed economic policy, erosion of civil rights, and anti science pro religion. I'm not apt to trust the party or candidate that lies intentionally far more often and used voter purging to cheat in the 2024 election, the one with a playbook straight from 1930s Germany.
But sure, pretend that Republicans are generally better because of a few, hyper specific, cherry picked ideas relating only to US foreign military policy. For a limited time span. By your logic all non NATO members should be annexed by Israel and Russia tomorrow to avoid any further hassle.
You were inviting a rational, historical rebuttal by posting nonsense in the first place.
Actually your comment is vague nonsense and convincing no one. I've never seen so many words have absolutely no content.

You're pointing out a few flawed Democrat officials, not what the majority of voters believe. The Overton window is shifted too far right for us to have a better option.
If the voters won't remove their support of a candidate for their actions they support that candidate. Not a hard concept.

President Jill Stein will fix it all. /s
You say that, but she'd actually do what she intends if elected. You know Democrats and Republicans will not.
she'd actually do what she intends
She already did what she intended. Donald Trump made it into office in 2016.
People who argue both sides do not have a genuine opinion, they are just parroting what others have said.
You're welcome to gaslight yourself, but I haven't slept through the last thirty years.
lol you just spouted terminology at me

When shit gets real they “didn’t vote for it.” I cannot think of a more irresponsible group of idiots than republicans.
No no no, they're the party of "personal responsibility", remember? And "family values", right? They have no core values, they're a cult and will believe whatever their propaganda networks tell them to.
