I love the current convention where news sources show little pol heads. It makes American politics that much more absurd.

i think democracy dies the moment he is actually allowed to officually run. He doesn't even need to win. He can lose, and the effect is the same. oh lort mmmmMMMMMmmmMMHGGMMM .... here comes a rant......

I like my copium as much as the next guy but this will make 3 presidential elections in a row, 12 years of elections, with only one "choice", a choice forced upon us by the opposition party. Isn't it time for us to accept that?

The Dems are increasingly using their MM mouthpieces to hand-pick republican opponents, giving fascists money and airtime if they think they can beat them. Do we suppose this practice ends after this year? After Trump dies? EVER? Do we actually believe that?

I bet you don't. I definitely don't. Not anymore, not when it's this blatant. I'm actually insulted for humanity that more of us haven't. fuck man, We used to make fun of banana public elections with only one real choice. Now we're the big chiquita.

OK i feel a bit better, tanks

2026 is the most important election of our lifetime - if it's allowed to happen.
