It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn’t the sole problem, he’s largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.

I wonder what universalmonk is doing now. Probably spending their big fat new commission/check.

He of all people has earned a retirement, but I’m still thankful that he’ll be around to add a voice of sanity.

Nah, it would have just kicked the can down the road, leading to accusations that promises mean nothing. UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml is already doing so a post or two below you.

But yeah, she should have said that from the start.

RIP

Probably worth going in person, explaining the situation, and asking for a provisional ballot.

It wouldn’t be this close if Harris just came out against the genocide in Gaza

It’d be worse. Do you have any idea how much damage AIPAC would do? The majority of americans are siding with Israel. She’d get called a terrorist simp before she even finished her speech. It would be an unmitigated shit show.

I wish the american public was wiser, and recognizing how evil Israel is. But that’s not the world we live in.

If the DNC was fully filled with a bunch of AOC types, we’d be leagues ahead on so many things this country is fucking up.

Granted, that is in part dependent on a country that would accept an AOC style DNC.

Nevermind I finally clicked the link after opening my big mouth

Props to you for taking responsibility for that.

By the time my state got it’s turn, Philips had already dropped out and endorsed Biden. Still voted for him in the primary because he was basically the only other option.

It very much happened. I remember voting for Philips for the 2024 DNC presidential primary.

There wasn’t one for the president this time, but there were still plenty of primaries that were very influential.

There technically was, it just not one where other candidates can really compete. The incumbent is pretty much guaranteed to win their primary.

I’m not sure of the volume of that system, how to get it. But I wonder if man made strip mines like these would compare:

They go on for miles, are huge, and theoretically could go on for basically forever.

Polls are bullshit, quit relying on them.
