The only thing they all agree on is Trump, and he’ll be dead in a few years at most.

Personally I think she looks good. Too bad she’s insane. She was raised in a real cult in Hawaii.

Well, there’s mint flavored candy. It’s only fair.

Gotta hand it to him. He keeps his finger wet and in the wind. The latest Gallup poll shows American sympathies now lie with Palestine over Israel for the first time since the creation of the Israeli state.

I usually agree with you over the non-voting leftists here, but I have to say I agree with them that Biden clearly wasn’t fit for another election, and his selfish decision to run again may be largely responsible for Trump’s second term.

The only thing that separates you from the Americans is a plane ticket. Why don’t you go over there and throw your life away trying to assassinate a politician? Do you not care???

True. They’ve gotten away with a lot of illegal stuff. There are also things they’ve wanted to do but haven’t been able to. I believe a complete takeover of national elections (which are currently run by the states, not the federal government) will be one of the latter.

He can say whatever he wants, but it’s not easy to pull off in this country, and he and his incompetent team haven’t made any credible moves in that direction.

I’m not certain. I’m just saying what I think is likely. Are you certain we won’t have fair elections in November?

Does Lemmy have a /remindme feature? I kind of want to come back in 7 months and rub your smug “sweet summer child” nose in it.

I do.

Trump would love to take over the elections, but he won’t be able to.

True, Trump himself won’t be up for reelection again, but Republicans depend on Trump’s cult of personality for turnout now. It will matter in November.

He’s going to lose his base over this. If you want to see how the most rabid Trump supporters are talking about the strike, head over to patriots.win.

Trigger warning: all of them. That’s where r/TheDonald went after they were banned from Reddit. Left to their own devices for 5 years, they’ve basically turned into another Stormfront.

The parties could flip again like they did after the Civil Rights Act. In that case I wouldn’t be voting for any Democrats. The only way I would vote for David Duke is if he was somehow running against someone even worse, which I guess is possible but hard to imagine.

Nope.

Please ban

There aren’t a lot of polls for this race, but there was a recent one that had Talarico at +12. Here’s a polling average

You wouldn’t have been sacrificing Palestinians by voting for Democrats, because the genocide was going to continue regardless of who won, as we have seen. What you did do was sacrifice all those other groups you mentioned. Just today, Kentucky passed a law, effective immediately, invalidating all trans people’s driver’s licenses.

So, to turn your rhetoric back on you, how many marginalized groups are you willing to sacrifice to make a symbolic point that serves only to boost your own self image and benefits none of the people you claim to be championing?

You didn’t save any Palestinians by letting Trump win.

I won’t speculate on your motivations like you do with Democrats. I’ll just say that those statements are clearly not true, and if you were secretly supporting the MAGA movement, you couldn’t be doing it any better than you are now.

What percentage of Democratic congresspersons who won in 2024 share your position on Gaza/Israel?
