Trump orders overhaul of US elections

[MOT 3,648]

Trump has acted boldly every step of the way, from 2016 onwards. The Dems have not. They have waited and waited and waited, and still they wait. They should have acted decisively after Jan 6, that WAS the time to go for it. Trump should have been in jail before the summer of 2020 and Fox News should have been put out of business. How would that have worked out ? Would the rising tide of fascism have continued anyway ? Yeah, maybe, but maybe not. Maybe the GOP would have taken a step back. Anyway, it didn't happen, and here we are. And it's bleak right now.

girl the house senate are both republican - trumps in power 

dems literally have no power other than speaking out which ppl are doing 

aoc and bernie are doing the anti oligarchy rallies - its all we can do right now 

more americans wanted this - so we honestly just have to let it play out, the supreme court is stacked right - they gave trump presidntial immunity. we legit do not have anything we can use other than protesting

Chuck Schumer gave all the leverage Democrats had in the Senate away last week. The little power they had gone. 

Democratic leadership needs an overhaul.

Well, if Kamala (and Biden), and the DNC, had not shunned and completely disregarded what a part of their voting base wanted, maybe people would vote for them 

What I personally think is completely irrelevant of course, but it is obvious to me that this kind of behavior

 

was not gonna be a winning strategy

They tried to prevent this 3 elections in a row. They talked about Project 2025 NONSTOP. And people still voted for this. What are they supposed to do? The US voted for exactly what they get: The end of (their) democracy. What are the democrats supposed to do?

This is precisely why I am an advocate for mass deprogramming.

You are skimming over the fact that dems were not doing anything to put safeguards in place when they were in power, though. 

Literally everything you say are excuses. Everyone can be... politically persuaded, let's say, with enough force. It is just that the dems are cowards who say they "do not want to set a precedent" when, in fact, literally no one cares about a precedent being set. 

They didn't want to "abuse power" because they feared then republicans would do the same? Surprise surprise, Republicans do it anyway. 

You cannot legally overthrow fascism. Then again, dems don't really want that anyway. 

I’m not gonna sit here and let everyone pretend that Dems at any point had the congressional votes to do the things you’re pissed at them for not doing.

And anything Biden could have done on his own could just be undone by Trump and/or struck down by the Supreme Court.

Politicians are gonna go where the votes are and leftists have shown zero interest in doing anything but derailing Democratic campaigns since 2016.

Sanders ran in two primaries and he overwhelmingly lost both times 'cause the voters didn't want him. Despite that, Democrats like Biden adopted more progressive stances to bridge the gap between moderate liberals and leftists.

But I can't help but laugh (scream) at all the single issue voters who decried the Biden administration for not waving a magic wand and solving a near century long foreign humanitarian crisis therefore ensuring the election of someone that doesn't even pretend to care about Palestine and would like to develop real estate there after Israel levels and fully annexes the country.

Now, where are those same people? All those college kids that crashed Kamala's rallies? The people who protested the DNC? Even the vocally anti-Dem people on this very site?

They're all silent  'cause it's performative fake activism from ignorant people whose votes aren't worth chasing. Dems know that and that's why they won't capitulate to the demands of keyboard warriors who don't even show up to vote.

The US is, unfortunately, a two party system.

Democrats are everything that's left of center. That's centrist liberals to the far left.

Republicans are everything from mildly conservative to MAGA Nazi trash.

100% agree with this, and that's coming from a staunch Democrat hater lol

There was a really simple choice: swallow your anger and vote for the Democrat establishment to deny Trump access to the White House once and for all, or let Trump and the Republican Neo-Nazis take control of the country and begin the process of the fall of America.

A vast majority of America chose to stay angry and make a point, thinking that by "punishing Dems" they would learn a lesson. Too bad that "lesson" y'all wanted is now the problem of EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS F*CKING PLANET and y'all still refuse to take accountability for it, and instead are talking in circles about what the Democrats should've/could've done to win your vote.

Take a look at what's happening here in Canada. Prior to Trump winning, the Conservative Party of Canada was an absolute shoe-in for our upcoming election. We're talking projected majority across the country. In just WEEKS Trump's tariff and invasion threats united Canada and these polls have completely reversed to a 97% chance of a Liberal MAJORITY WIN. This has never happened in Canadian politics ever - but the country recognized the threat of extremism and chose COUNTRY over PARTY. We've all unanimously agreed to vote for the Liberal Party regardless of politics because we recognize the Conservatives are in deep with MAGA/Trump.

I mean this entirely disrespectfully as a Canadian who's country is being threatened with annexation/invasion eevery goddamn day by your dumbass president: F*ck all of you who didn't vote or advocated for not voting Democrat. Entirely.

THIS IS THE OTHER THING

The amount of times leftists say "well she has to earn my vote"? My narcissistic, delusional friend, your vote isn't a prize for some politician to win, it's YOUR VOICE.

If you're a single issue voter and you know one candidate is objectively better on that one issue than the other but then you don't use your vote to make that candidate win, you're a f*cking idiot.

They're a step removed from sociopaths, I swear. Giddy at the thought of Dems losing even if it means the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, the uprooting of millions of lives, the revoking of millions of people's civil rights, and the destabilization of global alliances and economies.

Besides the literal Nazism, one of the biggest problems our nation has is the pure ego of airheaded leftists who refuse to do anything productive. Just kick and scream when they don't get their way then slink away like cowards when a real threat like Trump ends up winning.

We gotta be a little real though and also say that the DNC did not really let Bernie sanders run fairly. 2016 it was railroading efforts to make Hillary nominee. In 2020 it was everyone dropping out to consolidate the vote around Biden. To me, if we’re being 100, he was never actually given the chance to really compete and yet he still is a highly sympathetic official for millions of Americans. That’s a lot more than can be said for half the people who dropped out to prop up Biden’s questionable and shaky candidacy in 2020

 

not saying he would have won but it’s a little disingenuous to say he overwhelmingly lost when every effort was made to shut him out even Elizabeth Warren trying to make him out as a sexist dude.

The DNC can't make people vote for someone they don't wanna vote for.

In 2016 he lost 43% to 55%. In 2020 it was even worse, only getting 26% of Democrats' votes while Biden got nearly double (51%).

You can say they dropped out strategically or the DNC had unfair messaging but at the end of the day, voters are free to pick who they want and Bernie wasn't it.

He's a fantastic idol for the progressive movement and I firmly believe people like him, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett have their place both in congress and in front of a crowd but none of them belong on a national ticket.
