Why don't you leave then?

[Anonymous]

Republicans always suggest that democrats should leave if they don't like the fact that their candidate lost the election. However, if you flip it, and suggest they leave if their candidate lost they're aghast and can't believe you'd suggest it.

It’s almost like the implication of being unhappy with the election is equivalent to happily abandoning one’s patriotism is an insult lol


Let’s be real, politics in general are a massive mess. Republicans and democrats both have problems with blindly following the bi-partisan narrative of “If it’s not us, it’s them! And they’re terrible!” Truthfully, a lot of the general public understands that the bipartisan system is just a means of keeping the status quo, keeping it set between specific groups of people to lead national government. It’s easy to feel helpless when facing that reality, but it’s not like we have many realistic alternatives for political parties in this country. So you either have to work with the system or struggle against it and regardless of which you choose, hope that things work out in the end. It’s really all we can do, and it really, really sucks

People do that and go to Russia and become political hostages. Like hostage exchange in history recently.

Big old ooff there.

Edward Snowden can return any time he wants.

[NaultD]

Not without a pardon and completely different situation then the link I already sent of normal people.

[Asker]

Actually the U. S. is allowing him to return, he'll be imprisoned and pit on Trial, but he can. He won't, unless you believe the Halloween photo of him as Waldo and his girlfriend as Carmen Sandiego in front of the Hoover building wasn't photoshopped.

It was really the democrats that threatened to leave if Trump won the election. Too bad they all stayed here.,

[Asker]

Republicans don't threaten to leave, but they keep telling democrats to leave if they don't like the outcome of elections.
People only like the democratic system when it works in their favor. -Winston Churchill

[exitseven]

Churchill is right. But nobody likes to lose.

[Asker]

He also said "The greatest argument against democracy I'd to talk to the average voter for 5 minutes".

[exitseven]

The average voter is too busy working and paying taxes and dealing with all kinds of crap , the majority being caused by the government, to be very well versed on the issue. Throw in a crooked news media and we have a big credibility gap.
Still most people are not stupid and they know how much money is still left in their pocket at the end of the month and they can see the effect on their standard of living by certain policies.

[Asker]

He meant that thry keep complaining about how they hate when their guy loses.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[gorydetails]

we actually suggest you leave the country if you want to live in a commie hellhole.

[Asker]

If that's what the people of this country want, thrn that's what will happen.

[gorydetails]

No, that's not how that works.

[Asker]

Better than Darth Orange declaring than if he wins in this election then there aren't any more elections.

[gorydetails]

What do you think he meant by that statement? This is your intelligence test. Let's see how you do.

[Asker]

I think what he intended was to say that je'll fix what he imagines to be broken to the degree that it can't be messed up again even if someone tried. Either that or he's going to actually do what is outlined in Project 2025. If it's the latter, we're pretty much ensuring a dictatorship with SCOTUS presidential carte blanche.

[gorydetails]

SO there you go. You got it on the first sentence. A very reasonable statement to make. You aren't a total retard after all.

[Asker]

So he isn't going to do what Project 2025 has in it? If you read the rest of the post, you'd know that the SCOTUS decision essentially gave the president absolute power while in office. Combing test eith Trump's promise to be a dictator and the issues that will arise from much of the plans in Project 2025 we will be under a modern day dictatorship.
Also is there really any point in telling Trump the results? Regardless of them he'll say he won.

[gorydetails]

Wait, Trump said he was a dictator? What did he mean by that?

[Asker]

He said if he was elected he'd be a dictator. Multiple times in interviews to multiple interviewers. True to dome he never walked back saying that and doesn't try to qualify it.

[gorydetails]

He didn't? He didn't say "for one day" i. e. rolling back all of Biden's bullshit EOs? (ps Biden himself rolled back Trump's EOs which allowed the border invasion to occur).

[Asker]

Issuing EOs is what every president does. That's not being a dictator. Maybe Trump thinks of it as like being a dictator, but he didn't say that.

[gorydetails]

It's circumventing the checks and balances of the legislative branch, so in a sense, it is.

[Asker]

Skwhy didn't Trump qualify his statement. As it stands, he needs to assume dictatorial powers for something that a president can't do without such powers.

[gorydetails]

He did. You're just too much of an NPC to recognize it.

[Asker]

Prove it.

[gorydetails]

He said "for one day" go look up the speech. It's clearly what he meant. So you're either stupid or just an npc.

[Asker]

So you can read minds now?

[gorydetails]

It's reading minds to be able to comprehend his words?

[Asker]

No, but when he didn't ascribe his first slew od Executive Orders as being a dictator, why would he ascribe ot to the second? There would be no point in saying he'll be one for a day if he's not doing anything that all president's do their first day. To need the power of a dictator means he's intending on doing some pretty shady stuff that someone who isn't a dictator wouldn't be able to do.

[gorydetails]

You're trying so hard. Imagine if you put this much work into not being a loser.

[Asker]

I don't work at something that is already evident. The fraction of myself on here is so small you probably couldn't see it even with a microscope. I'd honestly be worried if such a tiny piece of me did not appear as childish and immature.

[gorydetails]

You're correct. It is evident you're a loser.

We have secession movement in our States, so yes we have been working on it.

Whiny snowflakes, the lot of them. I said it. Go ahead, Trumpty Dumpties, block me, please!
