This is from the last election in 2020. How fun that it's still relevant!

I feel the indecision is really just “I’m not sure if I am ready to identify as a 21st century Nazi or not just yet”

They could be willfully ignorant, which isn't necessarily better because it takes a lot of work nowadays.

"I demand a 3rd choice! Not having the surgery is also an option, right?"

Which would be analogous to.... anarchy?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

a proven business man

Citation needed.

False equivalencies aside, I want the country run by a [...] business man

Why? O.o

yeah, you might not agree with his business practices

The state of New York certainly hasn't when courts punished him for stealing from a charity he ran, or when they punished him for running a university that wasn't actually a university, or when they punished him for lying about the worth of his assets to obtain loans he wouldn't have qualified for.

Government is not a business, you can't run it the same way. Government is there to provide the services that are specifically not profitable.

[–] geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah, to quote Lincoln:

“The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves—in their separate, and individual capacities”

What? Proven business failure maybe. Bankrupting a casino. Getting vig on daddies dime and then grifting and scheming to get ahead.

The fact you can look at someone that consistently kicks down and think "hell yeah" says a lot about you as a person. The fact you have listened to his facist calls to arms and still want him, says it all.

You will probably wear one of them maga hats don't you?

Trump bankrupted himself 6 times, he has had effectively infinite lawsuits against him, etc. He's basically the worst businessman to exist. And besides, the country is not business.

Second, not voting for the lesser evil means that evil wins. We're all tired of the political establishment but it's not going to change when the first past the post system is still here. Flat out won't.

And as a quick reminder, I may have read in between the lines wrong here, not voting under this system means that candidates will just move away from your ideology to gain more reliable votes. Which is actually why Trump became a thing -- because the racists and "not" racists are a more powerful voting base. And people like you "don't have a choice" to vote for anyone else. Instead of the other way around like it was before.

you might not agree with his business practices, but they are tried and true

People just taking bait like it's free candy in a white van.

LOL what a clown.
