Somehow I understand their reaction... the democrates are afraid that this guy shows the worlds what powergreedy hippocrites they are and how similar they are to the republicans.
They became the very thing they swore to destroy...
Don't be shocked if he loses. I wouldn't put it past even Democrats to help the Republicans rig that election. Worse case they see he will win even with all the rigging that Trump sends ICE and bam he off to El Salvador. Democrats will quietly cheer.
I have no hope in our politicians saving us and damn sure not in voting our way out of fascism. Until we rise up collectively and realize this a class war. Us vs Billionaires nothing going change.
I do hope he wins and turns over all the dominos but on the other hand. I seen to many so called progressive like him. Who after they won they fall in line with the party.
We need more Luigis and I hope he wins and sticks to his principals. Guess we will see. But I am not getting my hopes up anymore.
Considering what happened in Buffalo with India Walton, you’re absolutely right to be concerned. For anyone who doesn’t know, Walton successfully challenged Buffalo mayor Byron Brown in the Democratic primary, but he colluded with Republicans and ran as a write-in candidate in the general election and beat her.
The problem ist still the people that vote.
In Germany our last government was a coalition of social democrates and the green party. The actual majority party is the "christian" conservatives again after the green party did a lot they had promised that was the right direction but shook the peoples minds. A lot was done with good intensions but rushing forward with blind actionism.
Also some politicians needed some "time to acclimate" to political reallity.
And of course our version of the MAGA jokels... instead of concentrating on the real problems... they constantly shit on peoples weight or youth.
Lmao no we're not, that's why he's on our ticket. Zohran's our guy.
I hope so. For your sake.
Polls are showing him above every other candidate combined.
There had been a lot polls that said ol' Shitznpantz will never become Potus... still, here we are.
Actually, aggregate polls predicted the second Trump victory. I was really stressing about it before the election.
The second one... I ment the elections for his first term.
For me as a German it is history repeating... and every day my opinion that the human population should be reduced by 90%. We are the greatest danger to all life on this planet.
I think at least fivethirtyeight predicted a tossup heavily favoring HRC, who did actually win the popular vote.
What's HRC?
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Ah, thank you very much. You know, we all know US-ians love their appreviations, but without the right context they are just confusing.
I just figured it would be obvious in the context of "person who won the 2016 US presidential popular vote" mb.
Somehow it is annoying for a lot people when appreviations are used and people expect to know the context.
Would you know the Context when I talk about FJS buying tanks that not even the manufacturer liked, or the planes that became known as "the widow maker"
You were expected to know the context which is the content of my comment before replying, yes.
No, because we're used to get full names... I didn't even know Hillary Clinton has a middle name. In german media she's always just Hillary Clinton.
And I think this is some US defaultism the world shakes it's head over.
A river horse?
Arrrrrg! I knew something with my spelling was wrong...
Hippocrites are lying horses... on land, in the ocean and on air...
No, that’s a hippopotamus, you’re thinking of an ancient philosopher from Kos.
It's spelled hypocrite. You are Chinese, so I will not write you a spelling ticket tonight.
