How’s it feel suckin’ down boot for a party that would feed you to a pack of rabid coyotes if it improved their election odds by .000000001%?
Trump probably wins and everything continues to get worse as America plunges ever closer to its collapse. Alternatively, Biden ekes out a win and everything continues to get worse as America plunges ever closer to its collapse.
Wonder if it’s a good idea to get the fuck out of here
If I could escape this crumbling machine I would have already
Anywhere else in the West is no escape
It’s our responsibility to stay and fight it if we are able
Eat my entire fucking ass its the responsibility of anybody with a conscience to throw gasoline on the burning corpse of the American empire.
I definitely am, this place is going downhill fasttt

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?How do you format this so it is single spaced after each line break?
Put two spaces at the end of the line before hitting enter
Like sooh thats
great
thanks
There’s a pretty significant chance that one or both of Trump and Biden dies before 2024 and that would be the funniest outcome, so here’s hoping.
Trump’s probably going to win. Biden’s approval ratings are historically low, no one likes him, and he’s alienating new groups of voters just about every other day. polls already show Biden getting annihilated in swing states, and it’s just going to keep getting worse.
I’m probably just biased because I think trump is hilarious but I feel he’s gonna blow Biden out the water
Ah yes, racism, sexism and fascism… hilarious
yeah biden does all that shit too, he’s just not as funny about it
Please, share an example that is equivalent to Trump parroting talking points from Mein Kampf:
It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease.
https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/10/04/trump-poison-blood-quote/
And also explain how that’s funny.
Saying someone is funny does not mean everything they say is funny, are you dense or something?
Heres something funny:
Fascism = doodoo
Doodoo = funny
∴ Fascism = funny doodoo
Genocide Joe has the blood of 10,000 children on his hands and so do you
“I am a Zionist”
Yea because literally every single thing Trump says is funny
He probably has more funny in his toupee than you do in your entire bloodline
The election will be between funny racism, sexism and fascism or unfunny racism, sexism, and fascism
Laughing at the ridiculousness of this world is how I cope, let me be
I feel its more like way too many things are tempting this outcome.
The easy prediction now imo is still that people want some (even incorrect) sense of slight stability, so Biden at least squeaks out a win. Sorry to anyone who somehow doesn’t want that, but that’s just the reallly easier bet.
But on what feels now to be a daily/weekly basis, something comes that threatens this. That somehow on a rising mountain of concerns and events, there’s nothing the Democrats can eventually do to avoid a collective national shrug as fucking Donald Trump becomes president again. Fucking somehow. I’m not there yet where I’m doomsaying on the corner about it (that’ll be Spring?), but I hate the gravitational feeling that’s getting too similar to my sentiments in 2016.
Sometimes he can be because he’s such a buffoon. Nothing funny about what he’s said recently though. Stuff that people like Stephen miller have most likely been feeding him
i’m just going to assume desantis or someone worse will win and send me directly to a death camp based on my internet history, so anything less than that will seem great by comparison
Trump wins and it’s the Dem’s fault as always because they have done absolutely positively nothing of value for any real person in America or the world at large. They could do literally anything, literally ONE FUCKING THING, and beat Trump. They could raise the minimum wage. They could pick literally any human rights issue that’s under attack in the US and make it law. They could give everyone $1000 bucks. Anything. Literally anything, and they would win.
They won’t though, so they’re gonna get destroyed and they’re gonna blame us.
I for one place the blame squarely on the parliamentarian.
Bit idea, we all vote for the parliamentarian since they apparently have more political power than every elected dem combined.
it’s the Dem’s fault as always because they have done absolutely positively nothing of value for any real person in America or the world at large
Student Debt Relief
Good punchline.
Today’s announcement brings the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden-Harris Administration to nearly $132 billion for more than 3.6 million Americans.
$132 billion in approved debt cancellation out of a total of $1.7 trillion, and that paltry percentage is planned to be cancelled if people subscribe to the right repayment plans and have no meaningful changes in income (“Sorry bud, you gotta keep working retail for your entire adult life because otherwise your monthly expenses go up by a thousand dollars!”) over the next 40 years. And that’s assuming the entire plan doesn’t get scrapped by the next administration, which it almost certainly will be.
It cannot be overstated how absolutely, completely fucking useless this plan is. It makes the ACA look like the New Deal by comparison. It’s like King Louis XVI walking out to a horde of starving peasants and saying he totally addressed food prices by handing out two dozen loaves of bread every three months.
$1.7T total student loan debt lol
I see, so because the solution is not complete and immediate, it is meaningless.
Yeah, he either did the thing or he didn’t
That’s how material reality works, if I didn’t get shit from him then he didn’t do shit for me and there isn’t a damn thing you can say to convince me otherwise
“He slowed the guillotine down by 10% I’m not sure what your headless body is even complaining about”
When the problem is complete and immediate, yes. You fucking dweeb
132 billion is about 7.5% of 1.7 trillion.
Would you say 7.5 percent is a lot or very little?No, because it reduces it by about 10% its meaningless to 90% of people.
Love this logic, according to liberals I could hand them $1 (or a note that says IOU $1) and then they’re never allowed to criticize me ever again because “oh what you want me tonsolve every problem at once, I did something which is deffinitly different from doing nothing”
The last time they raised the minimum wage was 2009. That’s $7.25/hr. How much pain has it been since then? How much more gap between the cost of living and $7.25/hr has it been?
12 years later…Full-time minimum wage workers can’t afford rent anywhere in the US, according to a new report (2021)
Kicking the can. Means testing. Excuses excuses excuses. But when a Republican gets in power do you hear any of this “be pragmatic” can kicking shit from them? No. They go whole hog. Yes it’s horrible and dangerous. And 10 years later the Dems will not only expand on those horrible and dangerous policies, they will be wrapping their arms around these horrible and dangerous people, welcoming them into the party while chastising the left for being unreasonable.
In this case, emphatically yes. This isn’t a stepping stone to the needed solution. They could’ve done what was complete, immediate, and needed but chose some bullshit instead. They’re not trying to fix a problem, they’re trying to see what they can get away with.
don’t forget curing cancer
Record numbers of unemployed
Record numbers of homeless
Record high student loan debt
Housing market is fucked
Infrastructure is fucked
None of those plans have done a god-damned thing aside from making people like you pull a

People who can’t feed their kids now need to wait for an investment to pay divided and to want to feed their children right now is just being delusional. Government shouldn’t invest, it should fucking govern and should be replaced when it’s eating shit at doing so.
New tagline?
It’s honestly sad how accustomed American liberals are to the idea that the government shouldn’t be expected to do anything to tangibly improve people’s lives.
None of those helped anyone at all
Great, so can you explain how any of those things materially help people continue to pay rent, healthcare, student loans (I can’t wait to hear how you think that the student debt relief somehow actually did anything material for student debt relief), buy groceries, etc? I’d love to hear you explain how that fancy list of hilariously named things actually accomplished anything.
Today’s announcement brings the total approved debt cancellation by the Biden-Harris Administration to nearly $132 billion for more than 3.6 million Americans.
Do you struggle with reading comprehension? Or did you just not actually read anything?
I don’t struggle with reading comprehension, no. In fact, I can read my student loan repayment plan, I can read the bill I still get every month, I can read the check I still have to send out every month, and I can see that the number hasn’t changed substantially during Biden’s term except for the payments I’ve made and am still making and will be making for decades to come. I’d send you a picture of the bill I get every month but it’s not written in crayon so it would probably be difficult for you
Ah, so because your personal, individual situation did not change, that means nothing of any value was accomplished for anyone.
The term for this is selfish.
Because they have not received help they need and were promised, they feel that they are let down by people that are now asking for their vote. The term for this is “reacting to being lied to”.
Do you honestly think this moralistic browbeating is helping your case here?
No, I think that the original statement:
it’s the Dem’s fault as always because they have done absolutely positively nothing of value for any real person in America or the world at large
Is objectively false.
Highlighting the hypocrisy that other people reveal in themselves is just a bonus.
I’m selfish? I’m not sure you understand what that word means. See, I’m not that worried about myself, but I also recongize that I’m not special. If my material conditions didn’t change with some insubstantial student loan relief, then it stands to reason that many others also saw no change in their material conditions. To me, this means the policy was ineffective; if it didn’t help the people it needed to help, then it wasn’t much good at all, was it? It would be selfish if I claimed that my material conditions improved and that I didn’t care about other’s, but I didn’t claim that. My issue with the “student loan relief” is that it didn’t relieve student loans for everyone. There’s nothing selfish about demanding enacted policy have a positive impact on everyone it sets out to help.
I would however say that it is QUITE selfish to defend a policy that helped you or that didn’t set out to help you to begin with, but didn’t help everyone else that it did set out to help. I’m sure you’re a rational enough human to understand that.
Same here. Say bye to $600/month, weeee
I was going to vote for Biden but now I won’t because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they’ve even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.
Gonna go ahead and say the people who figured out $130 billion isn’t the same as 1.3 trillion aren’t the ones with the reading comprehension problem.
Also mandatory “liberals try to convince you to vote for Biden without directly insulting you challenge, impossible”
3.6 million Americans is 1% of the population lol
He helped 1% of the population out with an average of 35k loans with the BIG if of all the technicalities others have stated. Not even the most vulnerable either because these are the college educated
I’m really not sure, I think there is a pretty active crowd that hates Trump more than Biden. However, I see Israel being a potentially killing blow. I’m like 70 percent trump 30 biden at this point.

Jokes aside, I do think Biden will win again if things are largely the same as they are now.
If the economy tanks, he’ll be in trouble, but outside that I don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t beat the same opponent again. I just don’t think there’s enough anger against Biden to turn the tide. Everyone thought the Dems would get crushed in the midterms but actually did great, and inflation was arguably worse then.
With respects to Isreal, I think they’re going to keep bombing Gaza until they run out of bombs or jet fuel. It’s a grim thought but it’s the only way I see this ending, because Americans are already losing interest in talking about the conflict and once that happens our government is gonna ignore them the same way we ignored Yemen.
I think that process will play out fast enough that I think it will be a non-issue to the average voter. I think people are going to vote based on their gut feeling about the economy, and I don’t think that’s likely to change over the next year. People are going to think it’s bad, and they’re going to have a whole year of Republicans telling them that the economy was good during the Trump years.
People like us who remember that it was shit back then too will be in the minority, and the main thing that might prevent Trump from getting over the line will be people remembering how annoying things were in 2016-2020 when the president was in the news every single day. That, or an Act of God, like one of them dying suddenly, is the only thing I can see preventing a Trump win in 2024.
Democrats double down on Biden and sit back as their voters bad-jacket anyone that defies them.
The national security state vastly prefer Biden over Trump, so Biden will most likely be president barring him being incapacitated somehow by virtue of being a walking corpse knocking on death’s door.
