THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT GET A VOTE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO ELECT A SENILE PRESIDENT THIS CYCLE
(lemmy.world)
That said, I voted for him in the last election, and I will again out of harm reduction. He has improved on policy, but l even if he didn’t, the American people do not get a vote on whether or not to elect a senile President this cycle.
You can have any President you like, as long as he’s senile. If you vote, we’ll get a senile President. If you don’t, we’ll get a senile President.
The question is whether you want senile and gleefully cruel®, or just senile(D). I’ll take just senile.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I've legitimately seen people say this as a reason to vote for Biden, even someone I know irl. I don't even know how to respond to it, like, any semblance of democracy is just completely dead at that point.
Yeah that's kind of a bizarre take to have because it's explicitly saying you'd prefer Biden's unelected gang of advisors over Trump's unelected gang of advisors. Maybe the president the individual can be convinced to support good things every once in a while if enough people get him on a good mood on a topic he has an emotional connection to. But you certainly can't push the executive branch as a whole in any way shape or form.
