Good memes in this thread that I’m saving for future use y’all, keep em coming.
imagine being a grown ass adult and being surprised by this
imagine also thinking you're entitled to sympathy from anyone after voting for literally this
those people can go fuck themselves. i'm glad they're suffering
surprised MAGAchu noises
Racist white people dont consider themselves immigrants, they use ex pat because they themselves use immigrant in a derogatory way
In 2024, toward the end of his presidency, Joe Biden’s administration granted her a permit allowing her to work legally in the US
But voted Trump and probably blames Biden for this
The hatred towards non whites really resonated with her. They were supposed to go after them not people like her.
Funny thing is the husband is Hispanic.
Fuck these people.
They should have listened to what all of us were telling them constantly.
Opa leopard style!
Blindsided lol.
Tater tots and prayers.
Votes should be revokable, I've always liked the idea of liquid democracy.
That's a step in the right direction, but ultimately, the best solution would be an imperative mandate. I have no idea how we've let ourselves get gaslit that free mandates (once someone is elected they can do what they want, regardless of voter intention) is somehow more democratic than imperative mandates.
Arguably, Trump IS following an imperative mandate. This is what his voters want. This is what he promised them
Haven't seen this posted in a while. I forgot you can delegate your vote to different people for different issues. How is the "category" of an issue decided though?
Wouldn't that be up to the delagator? Wouldn't they just decide case by case?
Then the delegator has to vote/delegate on every issue-- they don't need expertise themselves like in a direct democracy, but it is still an issue due to sheer vote volume.
Yeah pretty much. You trust your guy until you change your mind or feel that you need to change your vote. Not really seeing a problem with that.
I don't think you're understanding my point. If, as you said, you have to assign a delegate "case by case" for every vote, then you have to vote in every vote. This comes with all the problems of getting people to vote on things now, but 100x as bad because of how many votes there would be.
I love this idea, but the main obstacle this has to overcome is the voter's knowledge of the issues and any given candidate stances on them. If we implemented this in the US, I feel like most people would still simply delegate all their votes to one candidate or all candidates of a particular party. It's a lot of information for a working person to keep track of. Any idea on how to overcome this with paper ballots? Or are computerized ballots with all relevant information embedded within the way to go?
Even if most people just delegate their votes in an uninformed way, a liquid democracy would be more resilient to issues coming from that because people can change their votes after casting them.
I'm not sure what kinds of solutions other people have come up with, but personally what I think could be practical is an institution either like a bank, or possibly even incorporated into banks. They already have mature infrastructure for the secure handling of financial data and systems against fraud.
dumb fucks.
what did they actually think would happen? the shit he said he was going to do was going to be directed at everyone but them because they were "special"?
Yes, because they are special... Only brown, dirty, poor people would get kicked out or dissapeared. They are ok with that. They have money so evidently it would not affect them.
"wont deport me, I'm white"
The mental gymnastics these people engage in to completely ignore how fascists work is mind numbing.
STUNNED
A stunning turn of events for sure.
Nobody could have predicted this.
First one of these I've seen where they actually regret it when their family gets dragged away.
But but but, we're not brown!
LOL! They're a bunch of racist neo-Nazi fucks. If the Cynthia tries to get Francisco to Canada, Canadian Immigration should deny them.
I hope she gets deported.
Muhahahahahahaha...
FAFO!
No mercy...
“It’s a big club! And you ain’t in it.”
And the leopards shall feast upon the carrion!
No takebacksies. No mercy. Get fucked.
Don't worry, by 2028 they'll be all-in on whoever the fascist ghoul is without a lick of self-reflection. Even if it's Trump again.
Not one to be super religious, but I think Galatians 6:7 fits well here.
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
Sorry, no Second Brexit.
Votes for harsh immigration laws.
Sees Canadian getting fucked by immigration laws.
"Wait! I meant brown people! Immigration laws against Brown people! Trump betrayed us!"
I guess shes going back to... squints at screen Cambodia.
