Cool, cool. Very diplomatic. The best diplomacy.

    I hope all you MAGA motherfuckers with serving family members are cool with incinerating your loved one to placate a game show host’s bruised ego.

      I am not American, so I could not vote, but I predicted the 2024 result based solely on the shenanigans of the DNC.

      Trump v Sanders in 2016 would have gone the other way. Trump v Biden would have been closer, at least.

      In both cases the Democratic establishment crowbarred a wildly unpopular candidate into the race, and in both cases Trump benefited from that to gain power.

      Sure, MAGA voters supported him, but when you look at how those elections shook out, many Democrat voters sat out and many swing voters went away from Hilary/Kamala.

      So yes, the MAGA voters are responsible for Trump, but so is the desire of the Democrat establishment to prop up candidates that would fully embrace their agenda.

      It sure sucks, I’ll grant you that

        this ^ also my observation as an outsider. IDK how Bernie wasn’t elected as DEM presidential candidate. TBH I also don’t know how the REP allowed DT to become their candidate after the four years of absolute chaos the first time around. But man I am sure if DEMs hadn’t picked Harris, we’d all be in a wayyyy better place currently.

          Because US seem to HATE anything remotely left of (far) right. This is probably due to decades of red scares.
