Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had their first presidential debate on ABC News Tuesday night. The Republican nominee is not leaning toward doing a second one.
The DNC has rigged three primaries in a row, yet has continued to struggle against the same crook that can’t form a sentence. It doesn’t fit the exact definition of “failed state”, but do we need to split that hair?
The two-party system developed practically immediately after the formation of the country. Even the parties in Congress under Washington were beginning to form into two parties before the second President was elected.
There’s a reason for this, and it’s primarily because the constitution, while certainly a step forward in many respects from shitty ass monarchy, was written by fallible, flawed people who could not anticipate the consequences of some of the decisions they were making with regards to governmental structure. Other countries, using founding documents written after the late 1700s and governments formulated afterwards, were likely able to put the US’s example to good use and able to analyze what should have been done differently.
We could hypothetically pull the country out of the “two-party system” rut, but it requires a large degree of change to how we conduct elections, and may even require constitutional amendments. A more pragmatic approach is likely to build a movement in local politics with a third party, and then slowly use the accumulated power upwards to change things via state governments, and then finally change the federal system.
I actually looked it up recently because I had the thought that he’s never driven a car in his life and has just been driven around. Apparently there’s a video of him driving his Rolls Royce or something online though.
Edit: I looked it up again and he’s driving his rolls Royce and listening to Taylor Swift. Man, this guy is just a walking contradiction, huh?
Guessing he isn’t allowed to drive a car - I remember Al Gore complaining about how they never got to drive any more [after the VP era], as the secret service wouldn’t let them.
honestly he probably didn’t drive even before being president. having a chauffeur is a status symbol for the ultra wealthy and he has to keep up appearances.
Trump is a psychopath that should not be allowed to drive a car let alone a country.
Good news then, presidents and former presidents aren’t allowed to drive themselves. So at least we won’t have to deal with Trump claiming that deep state operatives switched the gas and brake peddles.

His presidency, and presence in politics at all beyond the local kook level, is a strong indication that the US is a failed state circling the toilet.
US is not a failed state, that’s just factually untrue and is just emotional storytelling.

The DNC is not the state.
Try again. Or, please, don’t.
I did not say the DNC is the state. I am suggesting that the way the two-party system has developed is an indication of a failed state.

Does he actually know how to drive anything bigger than a golf cart?
Does pretending to drive a semi count?
A treat for those who missed it:
Trump Got To Sit In A Big Boy Truck Because Today Was A Special Day!
That is so much better than the one random image I Googled.
“Vroom, vroom!”
He’s his own caricature.
Ask him to honk the horn.

Helps cover up the dementia too
My understanding is that most wealthy people have drivers cause if not, they open themselves up to opportunists looking to sue them for a big payout.
I’m sure they still let him drive the golf cart
