why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.

I get it, Biden is old and that’s a problem, but why doesn’t anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein’s Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can’t remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

MehBlah ,

Sycophants gonna sycophant.

It’s like he’s a real life Zaphod Beeblebrox, only far, far worse.

Zaphod had way more rizz

RampantParanoia2365 ,

…is this a joke?

Taohumor , (edited )

Mainly cuz no one cares this is all internet shit flinging. No one talking about anything will do anything besides smell their own fart.

Also people are more concerned with making sure they have enough to eat and can pay rent for the month.

It’s your privilege to spend all your free time reading about politics, make sure to check it.

pyre ,

you think rape and pedophilia are going to turn off republicans?

Doomsider ,

Savage!

Facebones ,

And accurate, fighting both existing and new minimum marriage age requirements has been a priority for Republicans in like 10+ different states over the past 5 years or so.

ZILtoid1991 ,

One party has principles, arguably too much in some sense.

The other either just voting for them because they love tradition so much they need to vote someone conservative, just want less taxes, or outright just evil and want to see the suffering of their fellow human beings if those happen to belong to the wrong group.

The principle of Genocide!

Oops moral high-ground gone again.

HerrBeter ,

Didn’t trump say he’d support israel completely?

Linkerbaan ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Didn’t Biden say he supports israel unconditionally?

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

You always seem to avoid answering that question about Trump. You know he will be worse for Gaza yet you still seem to want to get him elected. Your real intentions are obvious; you don’t actually care about genocide.

Linkerbaan ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Oops my bad your argument got fully dismantled and it’s proven Democrats don’t care about Genocide whatsoever.

Time for whataboutism!

Your real intentions are obvious; you don’t actually care about genocide.

irreticent ,
@irreticent@lemmy.world avatar

What I care about isn’t the topic of discussion right now; you’re just trying to change the subject and avoiding the question.

Why are you pretending to care about genocide while actively campaigning for Trump? You know he admitted he would genocide harder and faster than Biden.

Linkerbaan ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Only one of us is actively campaigning for genocide and it’s not me.

Soulg ,

Yes it is lol

ZILtoid1991 ,

If Biden didn’t support Israel, he would have been smeared as an antisemite.

Linkerbaan ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

If Biden banned AIPAC (which he wont because he’s their primary recipient), he would not have been smeared as an antisemite.

DeanFogg ,

Netanyahu is the guy you should be asking about genocide

Linkerbaan ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

He said Biden loves giving him weapons to commit Genocide with.

Tramort ,

Because nobody expected him to do anything but lie through his teeth and shit his pants.

Check and check.

menemen ,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Because he’d never do it anyway.

xenoclast ,

Because everyone in America who has fuck you money (everyone, even that one rich person you like who says shit about Trump) benefit if Trump gets elected.

Every news network owner, every sports star selling sneakers, every rock star who flys a private jet, every CEO that benefits from slave labor, every single parasite in the country. They all win huge if he gets elected.

Republicans are dismantling every roadblock to them having even more money.

People talk a big game but in the end we’re all greedy selfish short sighted fucks.

Not that the Democrats don’t fuck people over… but they’ll at least buy us dinner and maybe use some lube.

Twelve20two ,

Don’t lump me in with greedy, selfish, short sighted fucks

xenoclast ,

I mean… I hate to say but I’m in there too. All the horror and trauma in the world makes me more that way every day

Twelve20two ,

Stay strong, mate. When disaster strikes, look for the people trying to help. There is good

  1. Most people who want him to drop out were never going to vote for him anyway.
  2. People (perhaps erroneously) perceive a chance of Biden actually doing it. Trump will never drop out as winning the presidency is his only shot at avoiding incarceration. He’ll probably run again in 2028 if he’s still around by then.
  3. Trump isn’t incumbent, meaning the GOP already had a full primary in the past year. They’ve already determined they don’t have a better alternative. Technically the Dems could have nominated someone other than Biden, but it was never a very likely possibility, so people aren’t as familiar with Democratic alternatives.
  4. Republicans either don’t believe any of the criticisms you made of Trump are true, are okay with them, still believe him to be the lesser of two evils, or some combination of these. This is largely due to right-wing propaganda e.g. Fox News, OAN, Info Wars, etc.

I’m no expert, these are just what I perceive to be happening. There’s probably other factors at play as well.

Edit: with the recent supreme court rulings, I’m guessing that he may be able to avoid jail even if he doesn’t win. I still don’t see any chance he’ll drop out.

FiniteBanjo ,

In fact, an incumbent president has never lost a primary in all of US History.

mojofrododojo ,

one of the many unique qualities of the cult 45 orange treason complex

FiniteBanjo ,

…?

Croquette ,

He won his primaries.

He lost for reelection at his second term.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

An incumbent President HAS placed third in a general election, though.

kowcop ,

Doesn’t the US have a two term (total) limit?

BrokenGlepnir ,

The constitution has decreed a two term limit, now let us see it enforce it. Pieces of paper may tell us how power is to be used, but in the end paper is paper, and power is power. A lot of Americans call on the power of the constitution while ignoring what it says.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

SCOTUS ruling that amendments are more like suggestions

doggle ,

Yes, my comment is assuming if Trump loses this year, I’d bet he’ll try for a second term in 2028.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Most people who want him to drop out were never going to vote for him anyway.

Isn’t that sort of the problem? He’s way down in the polls because most people aren’t going to vote for him?

Lets_Eat_Grandma ,

“Way down” based on what poll exactly? Both of the candidates are within 2%, certainly within margin of error.

Biden isn’t really any different % wise than a month ago. Trump is up 1% from a month ago. It’s not like it’s 60/40, it’s 42/39.8

projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/…/national/

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

it’s 42/39.8

When less than 40% of the population wants to vote for you, that’s really bad

Lets_Eat_Grandma ,

When less than 50% of the population wants to vote for you, it’s obvious you’re a garbage candidate.

Let’s get rid of the garbage candidates. Maybe there’s some adults under the age of 60 who aren’t total shitbags we can nominate.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Let’s get rid of the garbage candidates.

We had a primary for that. Unfortunately, only one serious Dem wanted to participate

Lets_Eat_Grandma ,

Don’t get me started on the DNC and the fact that the voters really don’t have any real choice when it comes to who is elected.

I’ll never forgive them for screwing Bernie and handing the election to Trump by picking Hillary.

HawlSera ,

Because he’s sadly going to win.

Ensign_Crab ,

Because we don’t expect him to have any shame or decency.

yournamehere ,

because 50% of americans are facists?

Professorozone ,

Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are fascist. It’s the only thing that keeps me going.

englislanguage ,

Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are VOTING fascist. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are fascist themselves.

akakunai ,

“We are not Nazis, we just vote for the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.”

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe America just has a lot of acceleraionists.

Blackmist ,

Because they don’t have anybody else who can pull in his vote share.

StaySquared ,

It’s not age. It’s competency. There’s 100 year olds that are more competent than Biden. I’m not calling Biden stupid. I’m saying like the rest of the fkin world has been saying for the past few years, Biden’s mind is degrading.

UnderpantsWeevil , (edited )
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

He’s not competent enough to run a campaign that defeats Donald Trump.

And I was told that “Beat Donald Trump” is the most important thing in the world. But now, I guess, it isn’t? It’s just about appeasing the ego of a senile old coot and his weird family.

Serinus ,

Meanwhile Trump’s syphilis riddled mind is sharp as a tack?

The dude literally wears diapers.

StaySquared ,

Helluvalot sharper than Biden from what the world witnessed in that recent debate lol

Even his wife treats him like a fkin child, “ooooh muuuuh gaaawd, I am sooo proud of youuuuu!! You answered all the questions!!!”

Literally wears diapers, eh? At least the entire world isn’t accusing him of literally chitting his pants.

LMAO, seriously, I couldn’t give a fk less about Trump, I only like him because during his reign, the economy was popping, people were thriving, businesses were booming… chit was glorious especially for those of us trying to get ourselves into home ownership. If another Democrat runs this country for another 4 years, we’re ending up in WWIII and isolated from the rest of the world except the NATO alliance, if they don’t turn their backs on us too.

PsychedSy ,

You’re allowed to swear on lemmy.

spirinolas ,

It’s easy not to mumble and stutter when all you’re doing is repeating the same rehearsed diatribe against immigrants, no matter the question. A speaking toddler could do that.

StaySquared ,

Immigrants? I didn’t even mentioned immigrants in my previous comment. wat.

spirinolas ,

Are you Donald Trump? Learn how to read.

XeroxCool ,

That “booming” economy is a straight line on any chart from 2010 to 2019. GDP, unemployment, debt, income, whatever you want to check. Funny you think democrats are why things tank. Do you associate the 2008 financial crisis with Obama? Because that nosedive, which landed lower in 2009 than we hit in 2020, has a clear nosedive starting in 2004. Please don’t tell me you think the astonishingly-low gas prices in 2020 were Trump’s doing, either. People literally stopped driving altogether and oil companies couldn’t offload ships since demand was so low. I’m not really sure who you’re concerned about regarding WW3 that you think would be a powerful player that isn’t in NATO and isn’t already against the US. But really, it’s impressive to think Trump’s tenure was such a safe haven of global peace when Russia, one of 2 likely opponents, was thrilled with Trump because he was friendly to them. That’s not peacekeeping or carrying a big stick, that’s Putin making the marionette dance.

I implore you to check out a few additional “news” sources and actual analyst sources. If your news sources get emotional, that’s not news. If your analyst sources cite high school polls, that’s not analysis. If your source of stats is unverified text-over-pictures or commentary social media videos, God help us all.

crusa187 ,

Trump’s the perfect figurehead for MAGA, why should he drop out?

Asafum ,

I’m honestly pretty damn mad these people got perfect representation and we get stuck with neolibs who think “yeah yeah 40 years of the same hasn’t helped, but this time it will work!”

jorp ,

It’s because Democrats are not “we.” Both parties serve corporate interests.
