    He isn’t wrong. If they hadn’t pushed a senile 81 year old incumbent leader upon us as their candidate, in a blatant attempt to parachute an unpopular vice president into power once the 25th Amendment had to inevitably be invoked, then we would never have had a second Trump term.

    Biden should never have ran for a second term, and allowed time for the Democrats to field a decent candidate for the White House. The fact that Harris literally lost to somebody who tried to stir up an insurrection against Congress four years ago says it all.

      Harris didn’t lose. Trump didn’t win. They stole the election through every single means available. There is clear data that shows they tried it in 2020, and failed. They perfected it in 2024. “If I win you’ll never need to vote again.” “Elon knows sic. [everything] about the machines, he’ll make sure we win.”

      Voting won’t save us now. Self defense and community defense are all we have left. The system has been stolen by the ultra rich, and they are gleefully enacting as much violence against us all as they want, because they “know” they don’t have to listen to us anymore.

      First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.

        No one is asking for Bernie as president anymore-- he’s clearly too old. But we like his speeches and party leadership.

        I agree with him, but that doesn’t mean I think he should be president. While I really like the idea of him as president in theory, I do feel that he is too old and that there are too many risks associated with that. We should have age limits regardless of who’s running. But I think he’d make a great advisor to a president regardless—that way if he takes a turn for the worse it doesn’t put the country in any sort of jeopardy.

        He is the singular exception to all of our complaints about age, although we do still complain about his age. He gets a pass because he’s been doing the work for decades.

          Translation: ‘Yes, but this doesn’t count because fuck you.’

          Use aoc as an example, pass the torch, stop counting on ancient fossils to save you, that’s the republican platform.

        It’s arguing in bad faith

        They don’t have a legitimate reason for their candidate over a different one so they just repeat fox news talking points
