And nearly half of the voters in the US think, “yeah that’s who I want leading my country.” This includes half of my extended family (the math at least checks out).
I will never understand the sheer lack of independent and critical thinking in the US. I get that the underfunded education system, the complete takeover of editorial news outlets which have never put forth actual news, and the inability for most people to shut up long enough to listen to reason, are just a very small number of examples of why America is in the state that it is; but at the end of the day, can’t people at least see evil when it’s speaking evil things to them? Is this what they truly want — a dictator who has used them, who doesn’t represent them at all, and who will do everything possible to rip apart the bonds of democracy?
It's scary how he isn't even subtle about it either. Even less subtle than his previous plans to overthrow the government (and I'm in Australia, and it wasn't even subtle with the limited US political media here)
Biden is funding genocide and is working in creating mechanisms that allow him to do so behind closed doors.
He has also made a few limp wristed pushes for things he has not delivered on, but if he is renewed, he has said he wants to TRY to do some of the things he promised some more.
To repeat, Biden funding of the genocide of Palestine sailed through with massive success.
Democrats need to find something better to offer. Fast.
Years ago, I had thought, it was like "do you want to get shot in the foot once, or shot in the foot twice?" deciding between the two parties. That's not the current situation. It's more like, "do you want to enter the hotel room full of hungry alligators?", or enter the room with a bunch of people making decisions that probably make your life 2% worse. These are not the same choices. Politics in 2023 suck hard. There is no simple answer as to what to do or who to vote for. But there is an easy answer. If you do not currently benefit from tax breaks for the richest ~10%, or if you are not pro-religion in politics, it's probably in your best interest to vote blue. Otherwise, vote red. That's about a straightforward as it gets.
Is there supposed to be an article attached to this? All I'm getting is an image. I mean, I know trump has been threatening a lot of stuff, but I was curious if there were any specific examples of what he was planning or if this was just a general statement.
