Heidi Li FeldmanWhat a disgusting criminal Trump is.
rodlux@heidilifeldman that is who the #US people chose twice, he clearly is the most respected politician and the one who shares the same views as the majority of those who could be bothered to vote. We may criticse, but in the end a #country gets the #leader it #craves.
Alli 🇪🇺@rodlux @heidilifeldman only appr. 50% of the American people......
@alloalli @heidilifeldman from being #British I know that sadly about 50% is enough. However, those that didn't vote are also to blame, as was the case in the UK. If like me you support democracy, it means that we have to respect the decision, and politely disagree when needed. But to repeat, Trump was the will of the American people twice, and if he is right three times. That is pretty consistent. Much like Brexit, then the Election which handed victory to Johnson.
@rodlux @heidilifeldman that's all truth, as long as the voting process is held in a democratic way. Sometimes you think an obligation to vote could help make the result more representative of the population, but people are not used to being told what to do anymore, so an obligation will be difficult to realise
@alloalli @heidilifeldman whether #Trump is good or bad for the #US is almost academic. The point is that society changed, and perhaps those of us more on the centre/left did not appear to address the needs of the population enough or indeed articulate a clear visition. Like or loath #Trump he is an electoral genius. The American people were also fully aware of his past including alleged links to #Epstein. They took an on balance decision.
