Trump wasn’t in the Democratic primary.

And what the fuck does the holocaust have to do with anything?

Who cares who got RFK to run? Let the candidates debate, and let the citizens vote. Why are so many people scared of that concept that no one is talking about the fact that the DNC rigged three consecutive primaries?

I do believe that just about every major issue that this country/world is facing deserves a more nuanced discussion than just the ® and (D) party platforms. Life is rarely that simple. Wouldn’t you like to have had a better idea of where Harris stands on everything and maybe have been questioned and challenged a bit before the convention? Or are you just happy to have a not-Trump candidate that isn’t senile?

Then the Dems would have nothing to fear by letting him run in the primary, right? Oh wait…if he got even 1 delegate, they couldn’t have just handed the nomination to Harris. There might have been a debate or a vote? The party that’s “defending democracy” can’t have that, I guess.

And in some instances, both sides actually do the same shit. Can you really not see that since at least Perot, if not McGovern, they’ve both been doing whatever possible to exclude third parties when they’re a threat, or support them when it’s convenient?

I bet you think professional wrestling is real too…

And the Dems dicked with RFK to get him to run independent instead of possibly getting a Democratic delegate. Both parties will do whatever necessary to make sure the two-party system is maintained and outsiders don’t threaten their control. What else is new?

I was going to say the “grab them by the pussy” tape was crossing the line, but yeah, treason as well.

Which election was that?

I did not say the DNC is the state. I am suggesting that the way the two-party system has developed is an indication of a failed state.

The DNC has rigged three primaries in a row, yet has continued to struggle against the same crook that can’t form a sentence. It doesn’t fit the exact definition of “failed state”, but do we need to split that hair?

So that everyone running for a House seat can get their position on record before the election, I suppose

If I understand the actual text of the law, it only refers to disputes that directly involve the U.S. This dispute does not. (Sure, the U.S. is indirectly involved, but we’re at least indirectly involved with everything.)

Yes, it would be stupid for him to involve himself, but Trump has done enough illegal shit that we don’t need to go looking for more.

That may be true now, but if she doesn’t maintain solid poll numbers over the next few weeks, the DNC won’t hesitate to replace her.

How is that the headline? Not that “the president’s priorities are fucked”, but that he used a naughty word in private when he was pissed?

Someone wrote an article about this?!? Obviously the porn-related trial should come

first.

Not for me. After nearly 20 years in retail, I can safely say that at least half the people out there are dumbasses. I’m sure that they’d vote for one of their kind.

But if the headline started with “Democrats demand…”, people wouldn’t stopped reading there.

At least they got the military covered. What a relief.

I have little doubt that the country will end up as some version of Trump’s authoritarian state. The question is the timing.

I actually think that our best chance of avoiding it (in the long run) is another Trump victory. He will make those changes so abruptly that people will react far more strongly than if we slid into an authoritarian state gradually. I mean…think about the possibility of Trump having won in 2020. The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate, and people would be demanding change immediately. Instead, we’re justifying Biden/Harris again because they’re not Trump.

I’m just going to avoid the strenuous exercise part.

Of the many jokes I’ve heard over the years, I’ve forgotten most. This one, which I heard about 20 years ago, I’ve never forgotten, and it still hasn’t gotten old.

Just like Connor Clapton.
