Honestly right now she probably could

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

She absolutely should as well, I wish to inflict pain on the United States by recreating the psychic trauma of 2016 but on a grander more farcical scale.

That was where Perot was in March of β€˜92, btw- he peaked at 37% in June until people learned he hired detectives to investigate HW, and after he called NAACP members β€œyou people”.

This guy’s literally said that coronavirus was engineered to spare Jewish and Chinese people and it’s barely made a dent so far joker-amerikkklap

He said Wifi makes your brain bleed. Also that cell phones cause cancer and that's why he doesn't carry his in his pocket, right before pulling his phone out of his pocket.

Why does every third party candidate have to be a crank?

SHE'S ELECTABLE IF YOU VOTE FOR HER

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Didn't they get the most votes in the last presidential election after the Libertarian and Green parties? That would make PSL 5th.

Nader was the coolest lib you know

:vote: Afroman for president

Ooh, could we have a round 2 of that Barbara Bush vs. Hillary Clinton cookie recipe thing, but with lemon pound cake recipes instead?

Whoever gets picked as VP gets heckled by protestors after replacing RFK’s former slot by dragging Skip Humphrey out of retirement

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

TIL He's still alive. Apparently RFK Jr. supported him getting out on parole after 53 years. He was not let out.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Parole board approved it, Newsom blocked it

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lmao I've heard lots of praise for this guy by people I know. Listened to him talk and was baffled that anybody took him seriously. Makes me questions the intelligence of those people singing his praises.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably from the same kind of people that think mElon's room temperature ramblings are a sign of his very powerful brain when he's saying the most obvious shit at 0.5x playback speed.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yupp. They've praised Elon Musk and think President Bukele is a genius saving El Salvador from imperialism by implementing bitcoin.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

And the photo is also orange cheeto

:smolbrain: they use same make up artists, and the company gone wild

:middlebrain: they use same lighting and the company gone wild

:bigbrain: they use same photoshop macro

:galaxybrain: all their monitors are miscalibrated by the same gadget

At least Biden and Trump both wash their hands after they take a shit and believe in germ theory.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Lmao what a ridiculous country

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for his first state of the union and its indistinguishable from listening to a rock tumbler for 2 hours.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anecdotally, I have a boomer coworker who won't shut up about him or any other person named Kennedy. Otherwise she loves Trump and always votes straight ticket Republican.

When you live in the US, your brain is overclocked by celebrity worship, and you can't decide which brand to go to

My grandpa, an avid Chomsky fan, is all in for RFK. He claims that the vaccine/covid stuff was a mistake and he's walked it back. He wants me to listen to him but I don't really feel like it. Has RFK shifted left at all or is he still licking Israel's boot?

Edit: His twitter barely mentions anything of the conflict. Instead he's still tweeting about secret service protection. Read the room, idiot.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

He's super pro-zionist regime. I don't know though if it's because thats how he really feels, or because he's on Epsteins client list and flew on the Lolita Express numerous times. Either way, dudes super sketch.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

who's he drawing votes from, Trump or Genocidin Biden?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Last I heard he was mostly pulling Trump supporters

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ngl Biden winning because RFK spoils for Trump is actually kind of a funny result.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Or if Trump wins because he's a spoiler for Biden.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The funniest result is for RFK to just win outright which is why it might actually happen.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean that's certainly impressive as a polling stat but all that would really mean is he'd give biden the presidency if he ran, Trump would have to give him something for him to drop out.

Honestly if this guy was a socialist getting these numbers he could take the election from a democrat and force them to concede something which I don't think is a bad backbone for an electoral strategy, any comrades from the partyist wings of DSA here? Can you tell me if that's the strategy of factions like MUG and red star?

Democrats would happily fall on their own swords, just so they could scream about how Socialism Gave Us Donald Trump and then add another five billion people to the black book of Communism.
