Upcoming US Election

Post by Gary Childress »

Let's see.

Option 1: Vote for the guy with dementia.
Option 2: Vote for the narcissist.
Option 3: Vote for my schizophrenic self.
Option 4: Throw my vote away on one of the millions of decent human beings who stand no chance of winning
Option 5: Don't vote

What wonderful choices we in the US have.

Maybe they ought to rename the "White House" to the "White Asylum." Then, instead of "inaugurating" the President, we'll change the word to having the President "committed".

Would you rather see your dad getting castrated or your mom getting raped?

Option 1: don’t fall prey to right wing lies. Biden does not have dementia and you should not be put off voting for the candidate of the party that isn’t trying to destroy democracy.

don't worry, there are already 50,000,000 mail in ballots for comrade Biden just waiting to be counted

if he actually is nominated at the convention that is

otherwise, there will be 50,000,000 mail in ballots in waiting for the next leftist totalitarian

just pray that the next American civil war doesn't go world wide ('Merica is fighting itself- no time to help NATO countries that are attacked by Russia, China and Iran...)

can you see the utopia?!?

The first guy just has a stammer which he's had since childhood.

The second guy has the narcissism and Frontotemporal dementia as well. It's been visible in his regular bouts of aphasia for years already such as when he spoke repeatedly of "the oranges of the investigation" because he lost cognitive access to the word 'origins' and inserted any word that sounded similar, which is something old people start to do as they near the end.

This is a MAGA fantasy. They dream of stuffing the ballots with Trump votes, and so they believe the Dems are similarly corrupt and they point their stubby fingers in self-incriminating accusation.

Impy knows better. He just doesn’t care.

Well, whatever the case, it'd be nice if someone gets elected who can steer us all clear of WW3.

We should never have given the Ukrainians weaponry. Ukraine would have been easily taken over without all the bloodshed. They'd be screwed politically, but at least Ukrainians would be alive today who aren't. Evil always wins.

Yes, and the classic marker of mental instability, projection, is responsible for this MAGA belief.

But if someone tried to steal your home from you, would you give it to them without objection?

I am sure are all very glad that thanks to exactly your sort of appeasement strategy there was only ever one of these 'world war' things.

Yes.
But I do not think Biden is that bad really. Trump could never have held it together for the State of the Union address that Biden just gave. A stuttututer is one thing, but Trump can't hold a single idea in his head without screwing it up.
Eh?
Eh?

Mein Kampf of Donald Trump.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

Cessation of LGBTQ rights
Federal wide end to all abortion, including "morning after pills"
Banning of all pornography.
Mass deportation of foreigners
End to all Green Policy
End banking rules

Massive expansion of presidential powers.

Donald B. Ayer, the deputy attorney general under George H. W. Bush, said,

Project 2025 seems to be full of a whole array of ideas that are designed to let Donald Trump function as a dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system. He really wants to destroy any notion of a rule of law in this country ... The reports about Donald Trump's Project 2025 suggest that he is now preparing to do a bunch of things totally contrary to the basic values we have always lived by. If Trump were to be elected and implement some of the ideas he is apparently considering, no one in this country would be safe.

I mean, ideally, if I object to it my hope is that the one who's trying to steal it would try to be a decent human being and not take something that they had no right to take if I objected to it. Otherwise, I'm too old and weak to win in a fight for it. I mean, if my choice is either fight for my home or die, I guess I'd just have to die, if that's what the thief wanted.
