I would love to watch AOC beat up JD Vance.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I mean hell, I'd watch her beat anybody up. All the sweeter if it's one of those goons.

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Nobody is talking about the secret C option where a war "breaks out" in 2027, martial law is enacted, and elections are suspended.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I think that's what most people assume he's going to try to pull.

You've heard Escape From Tarkov, now get ready for Escape From America.

Don't forget to loot a GPU or two on the way out.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

thats what the iran war is for, serves a multipurpose role, to distract from EPSTEIN files, to use as excuse to suspend election, also distract from domestic problems like the over-reporting on ICE activites, All the gop trying to intergrate palantir/axon/flock cameras.

also include all the economic and health disease related problems.

Ah, the Gilead option...

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It'll be Tucker Carlson vs. Gavin Newsom, Tucker will pretend to take a hardline stance against Israel and for universal healthcare, and Newsom will take a "moderate" position on both (which will be the same as Tucker's actual position, but his voters won't know that), then all the liberals will blame the left when Tucker wins. I'm a time traveler folks, I came back to make sure this doesn't happen. Heed my warning!

are you guys counting on the us having elections again? i'm not really.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm more afraid of the option of pseudo elections. You get to cast a ballot, but then 103% vote for the orinj. The issue is that the average voter won't know the difference because casting a ballot is the entire interaction with the system.

[–] lemmygarden@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is so old and nearing death. MAGA doesn't love Vance or any ideology, they're only invested in Trump. So, yes, I'm anticipating elections. Free and fair? Ehh but hopefully too big to rig.

[–] DillDough@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Watch Thiel drop Vance for an ai Trump that he runs for president lmao

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This already seems like a best-case scenario tbh.

2 years out from the election, Democratic establishment operatives are already going around and manufacturing consent for "settling" for Gavin Newsom. If that is the response to AOC not denying she may run, imagine what will come when she does announce. I'm expecting a tsunami of "she's unelectible" sabotage, like they did to Bernie twice.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember how Trump was unelectable?

[–] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

Which is why Hillary's team gave him active support in winning the Republican primary before stealing the Democratic one

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 76 points 2 days ago (14 children)

Not terminally online leftists and tankies once again pissing away any chance of success because the progressive DSA candidate who's offering universal healthcare, free college, better education, public transportation, bodily autonomy, a better democracy and ending the wars apparently doesn't actually fit their world view.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What you need to understand, according to tankies, is: bOtH sIdEs SaMe.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I mean this feels exactly the same as when Biden was president. Right? Right?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shaken 8-ball says...

YES

Hrm, wait, lemme try shaking it again...

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shake it harder, because apparently it's a fucking idiot.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago

Shaking it again, it clarifies:

Diarrhea forever is good when Russia, North Korea, or China offers it, and free puppies are bad when offered by any Western civilization

So yeah, a fucking idiot.

If they can't get the zombie of Karl Marx risen from the grave to run, they would rather be led by right wing christian nationalist pedophiles.

You know the person who made this visual psychosis actually believed it, but fuck if it isn't the funniest thing I've seen all day.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Marx would despise tankies. None of them understand his work

Can we throw Satan in there as a Green Party candidate?

Centrists: "Why can't we have puppies with diarrhea forever?"

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 29 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Lolz, we aren't getting off the hook that easily. Just like Mitch McConnell, Trump is going to run again personally, for as long as he "lives".
