It would be funny if he really just means he won’t be able to run more than 2 terms so you don’t have to vote for him anymore

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure this is it. He doesn't give a fuck if anyone votes ever again if he's not on the ballot. That's it.

This interpretation is so good

[-] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago

It's just a pallette swap of "we're gonna win so much you'll be tired of winning" and statements of that ilk. "We're going do so good you don't need to worry anymore".

I think there is a serious boy who cried wolf concern for the Dems. If they keep twisting his more innocuous comments (like the "bloodbath" one that was clearly about the auto industry) everyone outside BlooMAGA is gonna stop listening when he says actual dangerous stuff

boy who cried wolf concern

That really concerns me. GOP judges and justices (particularly on the supreme court) are paving the way for horrors but libs are always carping about their go-to boogieman - Orange Man Bad. And every fucking election is now the most important election of our lifetime.

If they keep

I think we passed that point probably four or five years ago.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

yeah that's literally what he said right after

After that you don’t have to worry about voting any more. I don’t care, because we’re going to fix it, the country will be fixed and we won’t even need your vote any more because, frankly, we will have such love.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

Basically claiming he'll fix anything. Standard lib lies.

People who support capitalism are liberals. Republicans and Democrats are both libs and it says a lot about American politics that people consider them different at all.

The future Turnip would bring about is nothing like the future self-proclaimed liberals want.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

turnip is a lib and so is the coconut lady and so are 99% of people in the country. Be real

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

You are aware he literally had already been president and governed like a slightly less conservative version of Biden, yes?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not all liberals are the same, man

Some support the monarchy (eg. UK), some had them beheaded (eg. France)

In this case, Trump represents the "small" business, or petit bourgeois folks, but more importantly, the more 'dirty'-large capitalists like the oil-funded Koch brothers, who are more clearly connected to capitalist exploitation, both in the Global North and South

In a sense, they are propretarians and thus more closer to the dream/nightmare of classical liberalism come true

On the other, Biden/Kamala Harris represents labor aristocrats and professional manager classes (specialized stewards of capital), but more importantly, the more formal and neat looking large capitalists like Bill Gates or Mark Cuban, who finance and lend money behind closed doors capitalist exploitation, both in the Global North and South

In a sense, they are neoliberals with a barely-veiled socdem face

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Ehh, I doubt they would care enough to know to be displeased

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

as in liberal

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

Seeing libs gasp at this like it means he plans on dismantling elections has made me want to jump into an active volcano.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

They know what he meant. But they know the only way kamala wins is if Trump is portrayed as much more horrible than her.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

My libs are losing their minds over this

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

Maybe they should do something while they still have a democrat in office? No? Ah well. Nevertheless.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

I don't think so MANGLO MUSSOLINI

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Holy wisdom shitballs

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

I never voted for anyone in national election anyway, didn't vote in '12, '16, and 2020. I've been disenfranchised since forever.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Wtf how did you vote trump in 2012

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Clearly this is all your fault.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

I said, vote for me, you’re not going to have to do it ever again

I mean, if he win, he can't start again anyway.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Surely the deep state technocrats will let him abolish the only thing that maintains an illusion of democracy in a country that based all of its rhetoric on democracy
