The only reason they haven't done even better than that is 80% of their time in office is busy fixing the last Republican fuckup before the public gets a chance to go and elect more Republicans again
Trump has openly stated that he plans to abolish voting
"they lived under better circumstances in the last Trump term"
They lived under fucking Covid in the last Trump term, when everyone was confined to their homes while supply lines disintegrated and the cost of food more than doubled, while ashes from rampant forest fires rained down from a blood red sky.
And the price of groceries will skyrocket 3x and everyone will say "I can't believe Biden could do this to me"
Why would you expect people to care for a democracy that means nothing to them?
Because the other alternative is to take everything you hate about the way it all works and make it objectively worse, balanced even worse out of your own favor.
Look, I do understand that American democracy is fundamentally broken, and I empathize with that. I too wish for a viable third party candidate to break us out of this hellscape. But this wasn't the time. So instead I voted for the party that's been pushing RCV initiatives in some areas rather than handing a win to the party that promised they would abolish elections. On one hand we have a possible path forward and on the other hand we have guaranteed destruction, I don't like it any more than the next person but I consider a vote against guaranteed destruction to have been one that wasn't wasted. I hate that that is what American politics have come to at this point in time but I can observe the world around me and act accordingly.
You're the only other person I've seen mention this at all. I said it earlier, you, me, everyone, everyone's cousin, and also the FBI were very well aware that Trump & Co were definitely attempting to cheat the election, they've proven their intent to do so, and proper certification and electoral votes aren't even until mid December. I don't understand how this is possibly being uncontested right now. There are way less votes than everyone expected, it comes out in Trump's favor with exactly the thin margin he needed to win, and everyone is just running with "Yep he's won we know this 3 hours after election night there is no need to follow up further"
I, for one, don't believe a bit of this for at least the next month and expect some major findings in the next few weeks. I also might just be on the copium, who knows.
Hey don't I remember reading 189,237,490 conversations about this exact thing for the last 8 months? Where everyone was begging third party voters to bite the bullet, please, for the sake of the future of democracy in America and even a slight attempt at survival for Gaza and y'all all told us to go fuck ourselves because we all love genocide? Yeah remember those conversations?
Anything to add now? Are you happy? We told you this would happen. We begged you to please reconsider your stance for the good of everyone. But no, we're just a bunch of dumb assholes who aren't educated enough about the war in the middle east.
Learn to see the world around you, please.
Well they sure fucked that one
Well they're making plenty more of that to go around
How is it that you, me, everybody, everybody's cousin, and also the FBI were all fully aware that Trump & Co were guaranteed going to try and cheat the election, and yet the first moment all the republican electors come out and say "Yep Trump wins!! We promise!!" everyone is just accepting this as fact?
I have severe doubts about the validity of these numbers for at least the next several weeks. Republicans have proven repeatedly that they are not going to play fair in any fashion. I don't believe a damn thing they tell me without receipts for it and we've got until January to produce the receipts.
This is America. We are taught as little as possible in school. I promise you less than 10% of teachers know how to make an omega symbol on a computer let alone know how to teach that to a kid who has only interacted with an iPhone.
