Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”
Trump disagrees, apparently.
“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
But Biden’s brain is the one we should be worried about. 🙄
We should, because it’s the brain that has to beat Trump. We don’t have any better options, unfortunately.
Maybe he decides to step down. I think the people are pretty well set on voting either Trump or [person against Trump]
Nah, I don’t think Harris has the charisma to rally the party. Biden needs to survive the election, and then he can step down after beating Trump if needed.
Don’t get me wrong, I will vote for just about anybody over Trump, but I think it’s going to be a close race.
party has no choice but to rally itself under current circumstances.
Everyone rally around the genocide, record oil extraction and arming of the border! Congratulations you saved America from Trump! Lol.
Sounds like y’all need to start over if this is the pinnacle of 250 years of political evolution.
festering
I know this is nothing remotely new, but I feel like it’s justified to keep repeating it:
US elections is a shitshow.
Apologies for being that guy, but just a FYI, only because you keep repeating it, it should be US elections are a shitshow, not ‘is’.
Honestly, that’s quite intriguing to me. I had originally written “politics” but decided to change it. Would that make a difference, or would it still be “are”? Also, I find it abit strange to use “[plural noun] are a [singular noun]”, but maybe this is just me repeating it too much, making it sound weird.
I can think of one but Katie has other ideas
In the Idiocracy timeline i think Joe Rogan gets elected.
We have better options; the DNC and GOP both refuse to present one.
I’m worried about both. Neither should be president. Trump never should have been. Having 70 and 80+ year old presidents that couldn’t program a damned TV remote is just a showcase of how terrible our plutocracy has become.
Well, to be fair I’m late 30’s and I can’t program a tv remote either…
I wouldn’t vote for you.
Oh no! I’ll go cry in the corner now…
You mean you cannot program the embedded soft- and firmware that the remote runs on?
The what, and the what?!?
the embedded soft- and firmware…?
Even with auto correct, he fails. Lol
But I guess you love Japan where it’s the norm?
Yes, because he’s currently the president. There are more important things than some has-been Cheeto monster shouting at clouds, like the genocide the current sitting president is actively abetting.
Well then, we all better vote for Trump. Everyone knows how fiercely critical of Israel he is.
Yeah, that’s definitely what I meant. I’d love another four years of Trump. /s
How 'bout you just vote for the candidate that might put more than lip service towards stopping this generation’s Li’l Hitler? Here’s a hint: you won’t find them in either of the major parties.
Guys don’t bother with this dope. He trolls every thread. He’s an idiot.
Says the person with over 3 times as many comments as me.
A quick look in my history shows this is the second thread I’ve ever participated in in this community. Why lie? How do you benefit? Lemmy has no account Karma. Do you get some sort of satisfaction out of riling up the other dummies against the common enemy of nuance and understanding? Or are you just so offended by non-extremists invading your echo chamber that you have to lash out?
The world isn’t black and white. There are at least 50 shades of gray. Probably more. You should try taking off your cool-guy sunglasses and looking around unfiltered. You might like what you see.
You’re that weird guy at the party where no one invited you, and they all want you to leave.
Oh no! I don’t fit in at the kool-aid party!
And how do you plan on getting that candidate to 270+?
Get a clue
That’s not my job. My job as a citizen is to vote for the candidate I believe deserves the position, regardless of party affiliation.
The only reason Democrats and Republicans rose to the top is thay they once held the most generic, inoffensive views that people from the less popular “third” parties could support when it eventually became clear they didn’t have chance at winning. That’s no longer the case, so why continue voting like it is? Change has to start somewhere, and it sure as hell isn’t going to come from someone who benefits from maintaining the status quo.
If everybody voted with hope and optimism rather than despair and cynicism, we might have more variety than blue dick vs red asshole.
I am curious… do you think that there is any realistic chance that someone other than the two main candidates will win the upcoming election?
Wouldn’t you agree that this ‘change’ of being able to vote for a candidate who both deserves the position and also actually has a chance of winning, is not going to happen this year regardless of how you vote?
Unless something major happens very soon, it’s going to be one or the other. Most voters are not happy with this reality, particularly Biden voters, but this is the reality we find ourselves in.
I am happy to hear you express a desire to end the genocide and destruction of Palestine. A large portion of Biden voters agree with you on that point.
Other than his age and his ‘soft on Israel’ position, I happen to think Biden has done a decent job. But let’s assume I am wrong and he has done a terrible job. Would he be worse than trump? Would trump be worse?
Would you agree or disagree that, like it or not, we are in a ‘lesser of two evils’ situation?
Here is your chance to prove that you are not just a troll. These are genuine question which I hope you will answer honestly, however you may truly feel.
If you prefer trump, just say it, you have the right to your opinions. Pulling the ‘genocide Joe - vote third party’ card comes across as disingenuous, far-right propaganda.
Sorry, dude, but I don’t feel the need to prove I’m not a far-right provocateur simply because I acknowledge that Joe Biden and his administration are knowingly abetting an active genocide. I cannot in good conscience vote for him or anyone who supports Israel’s aggression. If I thought Trump would actually try to stop it, I’d vote for him, but I know he won’t, so no, I don’t prefer Trump.
I’m normally not a single-issue voter, but there is an immediate risk of an entire culture being wiped out, and while I’m too poor to send any aid myself, if there’s even the tiniest chance that enough people are as done with the left/right, red/blue bullshit as I am to vote for someone who’ll actually try to help, I have to take that chance, infinitesimal though it may be.
I’d rather live on the false hope of a better world than the false hope of a not-even-worse one. We’re all fucking fucked no matter what we do, so why not hope for the best and act accordingly? Maybe it’ll catch on.
This is not the choice you have, that’s my point.
Your choices are false hope of a better world, or the reality of a not-even-worse one.
One of the two will win, and one of the two is certainly worse.
Thank you, citizen.
I get that you are in a downvotes storm right now, but for what it’s worth, you’re right, and I agree with what you’re saying.
It’s the party’s responsibility to put someone up that is capable of doing the job successfully, and have them earn the votes, and not just being coerced into voting for one party for the sake of the country, and then having that repeated again and again.

Biden isn’t abetting any genocide harder than Xi though. That guy (Xi) loves genocides and you can’t disagree or you’re propagandized.
??? Why are you talking about this?
Brain damage
“No! Your guy is doing genocide harder than my guy!”
“No your guy is the worst genocide guy around!”
“Can’t we all just stop the genocide and get along?!”
“No! This guy sucks! Let’s genocide him!”
