"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    No, it's fucked, that despite all his hostility and bullshit, the democrats still can't get 40 million votes to make it happen.

    Biden has over 72 million votes right now. That's the most any President has ever gotten.

    Are you saying we're supposed to flip 40 million Fox viewers? I don't get what you're trying to say...

    So what? The other guy isn't far behind. The candidates that you cling to are not very motivational. You remain totally dependent on the other guy's fuck ups to "flip" any votes. In the meantime there's a whole shitload of non voters that you can try to convince that your party is different and not fully complicit. As usual that campaign never goes anywhere.

    And congress? Oh well... Botched that even worse. Steady as she goes...

    For Trump? Yeah, we can blame the democrats [washingtonpost.com]...

      You still can't get a delusional lefty to understand that DJT didn't win, HRC lost. Literally any other Democrat would have beaten Trump. The sole thing that got him elected was half the population voting against "Killary".

      Then they tried to repeat that feat with the second most hated senile idiot they could find, and almost succeeded.

    Allow me to repeat that I'm a conservative minded person who would have happily voted for Tulsi. So I agree with Fusti: it's a shame that Biden wa the best you could offer.

      And when it comes to Trump you say "I wish he would shut his mouth" because you're perfextly fine with his type of fascism. Here is what his good friend and founder of your favorite 'newz' site had to say recently.

      In the video of his podcast War Room: Pandemic, Bannon called for Fauci and FBI director Chris Wray to get fired at the start of President Donald Trump's second term should he be re-elected. In the video the former Breitbart executive chairman said he'd "like to go a step farther," but said "the president's a kind hearted man."

              Disturbingly, he doesn't hesitate before saying he'd like to "go back to the old times of Tudor England" to implement medieval sentences for Fauci and Wray. "I'd put the heads on pikes, right? I'd put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to Federal Bureaucrats: you either get with the program or you're gone.

      Quality people you prop up there boy.

        Titty for tatty: You're happy to prop up petty dictators who have clearly stated that they have no respect for the Constitution which they are sworn to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

        No sworn officer of the United States has sworn to defend the government, or to defend any particular office. They are sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. That includes the Second Amendment, just as much as any of the rest of the constitution.

          We are going to take you out, Runaway! We will do it by not responding to your posts. Your journals with rot and die on the vine, from lack of comments. Your election commentary will go unnoticed, un-commented upon, unremarked. We will have nothing to say to you. Yes, this is harsh, since we know you have no friends anywhere else, but for the same reasons those friends dumped you, we at SoylentNews must also bid you adieu. Goodbye , Runaway.
