The nearly endless campaign cycle seems tailor-made to wear us out. Wouldn’t it be nice to have it for two weeks max and then vote and be done with it? Everyone already knows how they’re gonna vote, don’t they?

Because America isn't a democracy, it's governed by 2 parties that service Capital above all else and presents preselected candidates that don't represent the interests of the people.

You can vote third party, but this is actively discouraged by both the establishment and the broader public, even if the broader public wishes it could happen. This provides an illusion of choice thay ultimately makes no material difference.

That's a wonderful question.

We in the upside down land will be checking which way the toilet flushes if Biden is elected, just to make sure.

My friends outside the US in Berlin and Spain have said the same thing. Oof.

The purposeful decimation of education in this country is really starting to show.

So you want a weak candidate to run against him?

This is a popularity contest, as it's always been. There's more people that want to vote for Trump than there is for Biden. Hinging an entire election on the never-Trumps is fucking risky.

If it's Kamala, she legally can keep/use all the campaign cash raised for Biden's re-election too since her name is on the ticket Biden/Harris 2024.

It was absolutely good that Biden run in 2020. His familiarity with the office allowed him to run the country from day 1 (remember how trump was blocking handover and didn't help with transition of power?)

Biden doing foreign policy for Obama helped him tremendously with repairing all the relationships (he personally knew most of the politicians) that trump damaged and restoring NATO. Putin started invasion, because he was doubting that Biden will be able to bring NATO together in time (the invasion happened in February 2022, but or intelligence disclosed that they observed preparations as early as April 2021)

I don't think anyone else from the 20 candidates we had in 2020 was capable of pulling this. Not because I don't think they would be bad presidents, but because they would need time to ramp up

The legacy of the entire Democratic Party is enabling fascism. For at least the last 24 years.

Who's the bigger fascist, the fascist party or the party who compromises with the fascists?

That's an RBG move right thar

I’ve seen this one already. It’s a remake of the one with the lady judge.

I'd vote for a mountain over a fascist every day of the week. And twice on Sundays.

That would involve Americans being interested in politics more then once every 4 years

No matter who the candidate is, the media, and the GOP, and Trump, will still all ignore Trump's entirely disqualifing attributes while attacking the Democrat over superficial bullshit. The media isn't talking about right after Trump was found guilty he recieved the biggest donations in US history, or who is dumping millions into his operation. They aren't covering Trump's stump speeches full of absolute bullshit, I don't think they're even talking about him trying to disown project 2024 because of its obvious fascism, which apparently even his voters don't like when it's overly about over throwing the US government to install a dictator and privatization of the entire country's resources for the ultra rich.
