Yeah yeah, it will never happen, but can you imagine how funny it would be? Imagine Dems and GOP flipping out over The Guns and Dope Party winning

Green party wins

electoral college votes biden in anyway

This but, instead of the Green Party, George Santos wins.

It will be a new day in America.

I think the funnniest realistic outcome is genocide joe wins and the gop tries the insurrection thing again. and fails. again.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Trump wins, libs do a jan 6, they actually succeed. But then they just name Nikki Haley president to be bipartisan.

[–] TimeTravel_0@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

Hillary is the vp in this scenerio

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Have an insurrection every 4 years as a new American electoral tradition

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

This is deff one of the forms of liberalism but I would like to see them try it while the president isn't actively preventing the national guard from responding and watch chuds get lit up on the steps before they got within shit smearing distance of the front door.

Wouldn't ever happen but I love some good fash on fash violence.

synthesis: joe wins, then a jan 6 rerun where joe dies of natural causes while it's happening, and hilary inherits the presidency

The funniest outcome is if Biden dies, the Dems force the vote cedar-rapids and she loses to Trump again.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

This is the objectively correct take

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Trump wins with Nikki Haley as VP, then they can't remove him without giving the Republicans the first female president.

Guns and Dope 2024 santos hunter

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

gloria-rap she can win if you vote for her (pretend this is a Claudia emote)

Funniest possible?

I think it would be funnier if one of them was getting close to winning, dies unexpectedly from an aneurysm, and then right as the other is on some stage talking about that happening and what it means for the election they also die unexpectedly from an aneurysm.

Neither party would know what to do, and they would probably try to blame each other for assissinating those old fucks.

Dissapointingly unlikely tho

4 percent chance is not unlikely

Guns N’ Dope would bring Chinese Democracy to amerikkka

really the only shot at it happening is an "october surprise" that involves biden/trump becoming very publicly incapacitated. like, fall down some steps and clonk the coconut on the concrete... never to be seen in public again. or insane ear bleed during a speech. not only that, but the institutional reaction to it would have to be a complete dogfuck. like neither side wants to admit their guy is a turnip hooked up to a bellows, but everybody knows it and their official/unofficial seconds go off script and shit the bed at seizing the moment such that there is no underlying sense of legitimacy to either party since the turnips are still at the top of the ballot, and their unlikable seconds are undermining their own tickets.

in this kind of context, with some imperial crisis looming and driving up gas prices, i could imagine a third party with a simple message and a known quantity for a face doing something.

I would pay an embarrassing amount of money for any audio technicians at the presidential debates to "forgot" to turn off hot mics for both the red-lawn-sign fascist and the blue-lawn-sign fascist. Nothing adventurous, nothing that might harm the physical or mental health of anyone on stage. Simply let them be themselves.

im-doing-my-part i vote for the guns and dope party in every election

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Stein. I know people here are big on PSL but they don't have ballot access like the Greens do, and Stein is already a massive thorn in the DNC's side. I still have my 2016 sign, and since we're all playing reruns might as well.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

You would need an economic downturn, a broad loss of faith in political institutions, a sitting president very unpopular with their own party, and an opposition party with lackluster options of whom no one really stood out, and a popular figure with a lot of name recognition either from the business world or defecting from a major party to pick up the support. It would have to be a mix of what happened in 1920, 1968, 1992, and 2016.

If a third party president gets elected, how long do you think it would take for the CIA to blast their skull away?

I’ve already conceptualized a scenario where Trump gets arrested, lowering his margins just enough for Biden to get 270 EVs, only for two faithless electors to switch to Trump. Trump dies sometime afterwards, leaving ‘Swamy up to be the US Liz Truss.

Vivek would be honestly kinda entertaining, even if he'd double down on child labor and other weird fasc shit.

FDR's fireside chats but it's just Vivek freestyling.
