This time, they had it all planned out.
And it's not as if they were trying to hide it before the election ...
The stupidity of voting for a wannabe dictator anyway is just off the scale, it's not something I can comprehend.
To me, the answer is clear. The solution is the individual. Someone willing to pay what it costs to make meaningful change in the halls of power. Where is our Gavrilo Princip? Where is the man or woman who will make themselves the means to our ends?
I told myself I wouldn't engage with politics this cycle, but man, is it already getting ridiculous.
As a side note, I did brush up on the nuance of the Franz Ferdinand Gavrilo Princip situation and I stand by it. The dude was a bad guy, but at least he was principled.
I mean, it's not like he didn't already tell us this!
@jacobat @c_chep @randahl @karelbrits Your team lost millions of votes, we outside of your ridiculous country WILL blame the Dems until they get their shit together.
And I'll fucking say what I want, you Blue MAGA prick.
Toodles! x
@Lazarou @jacobat @c_chep @randahl @karelbrits You don't speak for me.
As an European I will always blame the MAGA idiots and anyone who didn't vote.
When the choices are 'fascism' and 'not fascism ' it doesn't really matter the content of the 'no fascism ' party...
Later on, with a properly working democracy with more than two political parties, you can start filtering by policies.
Say it with me: "if fascism is on the polls, I will always vote against it"
Trying to have him elected a third time is one way -
the other way, which i reckon we ll see (attempted at least), is to not have elections again
@sebastian @randahl well, of you *know* that people are going to vote for you, is there any point in having an election?
... Is almost the tone they are using. Fuck i hate it.
Trump did not win the majority of votes in the 2024 election.
He won 49.9% of the votes, compared with Harris who received 48.3%.
They are a group on their own.
In many other countries, when there is no candidate who has more than 50% of the votes, a new election is called with only the two candidates with the most votes.
In the USA, even when you do not have the majority of the votes, you still can become president. You can even have millions of votes less than your opponent and still become the President.
But the votes of third-party voters, do not belong to either.
Despicable bastards… high treason.
There is only one answer to this and that lies in the second amendment.
Yeah, there we go. Never having to vote again, the strong support of militia, the guns, the pardons.
* It * All *
He said it.
He bragged about it.
It seemed bizarre, and Harris was doing well. So, ah, let's skip voting.
Text of the legislation would be an amendment to the Constitution (which it legally has to be) and would include ALL Presidents present and former.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-joint-resolution/29
FYI - Any amendment to the Constitution requires 2/3 majority in both houses AND 2/3 of the states houses. GOP has razor thin margins and this all for show. Ogles also introduced a bill to allow him to negotiate with Denmark for Greenland.
@randahl
MAGA: The right to guns is cannot be touched as it’s in our constitution! (Not what it actually says). It’s the 2nd amendment!
Also MAGA: Let’s just change the 22nd amendment so Trump isn’t limited by the rule specifically created to prevent dictators.
To everyone: They have stopped listening so don’t let them tell you to shut up.
These two have the same legal value.
“A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The aim of it is a militia to protect the state. The National Guard is the State’s army and it could be argued entirely meets the second amendment. Under that argument you could ban guns.
I’m not saying you should but that you could. The second amendment is far from saying everyone can have machine guns although I do accept that it leans that way.
The knock on conclusion is that it can only be interpreted and therefore the Supreme Court is political. Furthermore the idea it is apolitical is a fiction.
We know this, this is just the logic.
..ehem...
@randahl The minute anyone actually passes an amendment to let Trump run a third time, he’ll be facing Barack Obama in the next election.
Between that and the fact that an Amendment needs 2/3 of both houses of Congress to pass, followed by 3/4 of the state legislatures, I’d say this is more of a gesture of loyalty than anything to worry about within the next four years.
I expected this either 2 days ago or 2 weeks after the midterms.
Nothing makes sense anymore, except by remembering history, then it's...oh yeah...this.
