Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

i think it's less about them being 'eradicated' than it is fixing all the gerrymandering, electoral college and various forms of voter suppression so that people are represented fairly in the US. The majority of this country never wanted Trump, doesn't want complete gridlock in the house/senate and wants healthcare! Why do the people have to fight their own government for what they want? 

The last four years have been a power grab for the republicans, if the democrats can take the white house and then senate then they'd better grab back.

Fixing the two party system is harder for sure.

the world would marvel at the beneficial transformation that would occur if the current set of congressional republicans were utterly obliterated in this election, and the country could be saved from its state of languishing disrepair.

the electoral college could be abolished

the green revolution could start in earnest

cost of health care could be radically reduced while providing it to everyone as a right

we could all grow weed

electoral safeguards could be instituted

wealth inequality could be rectified

the middle class could be restored

covid could be stamped out

the mass extinction could be addressed

our aquifiers could be protected

corruption could be checked

this is what needs to happen. it's not wrong to set sights for a major purge in the capital. the GOP would take their rightful place as the party of the backward ignorants. this sets the stage for new parties. AOC, Warren, Bernie could solidify a coalition of progressives. fiscal conservatives could distinguish themselves from the propaganda racket. we may need to pass through a period of 1 party in order to arrive at 3+ parties.

the current right has established themselves as a post-policy party. they stand for nothing but whatever rhetoric maintains their own individual power. the left is currently the party interested in governance. the left is known as the big tent party. it's just a catch-all for all politicians who don't jump on the trick-people-with-tax-rhetoric wagon.

by the way, check out what the right means when they say lowering taxes, in this animation

it's a dog whistle to the rich, looking for donors to serve. that's the republican party for you.

it's not going to happen because the democrats don't want this, they are merely the liberal arm of capital and they will turn to eco-fascism during the upcoming climate crisis just like the republicans are.  the only solution is the abolition of borders and the communal management of all the resources on earth to allow the free migration of people to where they need to go

I think most people have completely tuned out any of this Hunter Biden bullshit and just want a functioning administration run by non-retards. 

while this is true. if it turns out Hunter did do all those things, it would definitely effect Biden negatively by a few points I would think.

THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN REPORTEDLY BLEW $1 BILLION ON PRIVATE JETS, TRUMP PROPERTIES, AND DON JR.’S SHITTY BOOK

this is all pretty hilarious and not unexpected. 

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/trump-campaign-cash-woes

Where the campaign has dropped major money on advertising, it might as well have put the cash through an industrial shredder for all the impact it made. In January, Trump spent $10 million on a Super Bowl ad when he didn’t even have a Democratic challenger, in a pointless pissing contest with Mike Bloomberg. Last fall, he dropped $250,000 on an ad that ran during Game 7 of the World Series, after the booing against him reached“almost 100 decibels” during Game 5. The campaign also sunk $1.6 million on TV ads in the Washington, D.C., media market—where he received a humiliating 4% of the vote in 2016 and has no chance of winning in 2020—so Trump could gaze adoringly at himself during Fox News commercial breaks.

Meanwhile, $310 million can’t be accounted for because it went through limited liability firms, which is precisely the amount of sketchy one should expect from Team Trump. And while campaign manager Bill Stepien insisted that money is not an issue, donors seem to be growing suspicious about whether their money is in good hands:

Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, recently donated $75 million to Preserve America, a new pro-Trump super political action committee that is not controlled by Trump World political operatives. One of the reasons the group was founded in August is because there is deep distrust among some GOP donors that the existing pro-Trump organizations would spend the money wisely, according to a Republican strategist with direct knowledge of the matter.

If they dig their own grave by wasteful spending, then they reap what they sow.

can't wait for this movie...

sooo nice to see there are still uncle toms around.

Turns out Trump has secret bank accounts in China and has paid more taxes to the Chinese government than to the American one. Here's a New York Times article about it:

China’s biggest state-controlled bank rented three floors in Trump Tower, a lucrative lease that drew accusations of a conflict of interest for the president.

 Maybe his strong rhetorics against China are just a farce like everything else he does? Hmmm

Well, as soon as he says, "fake news" and waves his Jedi hand in front of everyone no one will have further questions and all will be forgotten.

So they support Trump (because he's a useful puppet) but don't think Trump orgs can spend money wisely (cause they're a bunch of fucking idiots).

Maybe this is a silly question but why isn’t ranked voting a thing? So if your candidate loses at least your vote goes to your second choice and isn’t wasted. Wouldn’t that help with the two party system?

Yes, it absolutely would help.
