All these first-past-the-post voting systems (here in Canada too it’s a problem) need to be relegated to a bygone era, it’s so bad that even placings names on a board and throwing darts blindfolded for every MP positions would probably give a better and more representative outcome.

Welp… it will probably be after something akin to world war 3 that we (the ones luckily still alive) would all sit down and set out to fix the many obvious and perhaps not so obvious issues with governance, lack of immediate consequence to lying, independently peer reviewed education system absent of political/religious/vested/private interest or influence, broken taxation system enabling billionaires, the lack of thorough independent study of environmental or health concerns before even granting any permit (problems tend to always be discovered long after it was commercialised/contructed/).

Sad to see the state of affairs in every country 😰😱, nevertheless just as we can see/imagine/iterate/improve our ideas of what each one of us would consider better systems, we should implement, test, cross pollinate, evaluate (scientifically, quantitatively and qualitatively) and keep what works better than before and reject/shun/disqualify what obviously causes issues or collateral damages.

The press just can’t stop talking about Trump. I feel like they wouldn’t be so popular if they didn’t receive so much press coverage.

But it brings clicks!

Not just Trump, look at the rise of right-wing extremism happening the world over, it’s not a coincidence

Is trump the new one punch man villain?

Has anybody read the list of indictments just on the federal documents case? It is not going to end well for him, most likely:

31 counts of retaining and failing to deliver national defense documents under the Espionage Act. Each of these charges is for possession of a separate, specific document. Ten of these documents were handed over to the government in June 2022, and the other 21 were recovered in the August 2022 search.[30]

According to the indictment, the 31 documents describe:

  • U.S. nuclear weapons;
  • foreign military attacks, plans, capabilities, and effects on U.S. interests;
  • foreign nuclear capabilities;
  • foreign support for terrorist activity;
  • communications with foreign leaders;
  • U.S. military activities;
  • White House daily foreign intelligence briefings;
  • potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack;
  • and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.[31]

He is a traitor through and through, and this is going to make his life painful next year.

And yet… He’s probably going to remain free, untouched, highly supported, and be on the ballot as a real contender for reelection. Something’s not quite right with that picture.

The fact that Trump presents such a threat to the world after four disasterous years as President, after attempting to tamper with the electoral college votes, voting machines, after publicly professing his admiration for criminals and despots, because of an elections and politicians that can be overtly bought because the Supreme Court, which itself has been corrupted by bribes and influence allows it to be, may just well bring down the Republic. We are at the point where wrapping oneself in the flag and spewing fascist screeds is considered patriotic, whereas preserving the Enlightenment principles on which the Republic was founded is considered dangerous and subversive. Even if Trump died today, another strongman, probably less stupid than Trump, would take his place, and likely succeed in destroying the Republic. The founders of this country could never have imagined the effects of hate-filled mass media on a population when their main means of information dissemination required imprinting and transporting paper.

Such a hot take.

Yeah how about we wield the might and goodwill of America by dictatorship with a guy who already tried to steal years in office that he knew he didn’t win.

How would that be for your global security, humanitarian concerns? Gtfo.

scarabic ,

I want to believe that his election loss and absolute shitshow he turned it into with the insurrection and all has sealed his fate and he will never actually win half of America again. He’s a joke. A criminal. He fooled people once but some won’t get fooled again. SOME. All it takes is a small percentage of voters to just stay home and he’ll lose. He can’t win. He’s a loser. He can’t win.

Then I look over at fucking Biden and it’s like… shit.

PsychedSy ,

My brother in Christ, lots of people love him. Lots are morons.

Most important election ever and it’s a rapist piece of shit vs a roomba.

scarabic ,

I know a lot of people love him. 30% of the country are his forever and that’s that. But those people aren’t enough to win on their own. He won because Republicans lined up to block Hilary.

In fact, Hilary is the best example of what I think will go wrong for Trump. Hilary was a very strong candidate. But maybe 5% of Democrats just didn’t care to turn out for her: a mix of not liking her, being too progressive for her, maybe being sexist, and just presuming she would win.

That little bit of slack did her in.

Will Trump experience that “little bit of slack” in 2024 compared to 2016? I think he will. In 2016 he was a wild phenomenon, an outsider, a rock that lots of otherwise reasonable people decided it was time to throw at the system.

He doesn’t have all that mystique this time. He’s not a disruptive new challenger from out of left field. He’s last year’s loser and a confirmed criminal. He will turn out his 30% base just fine. But is he going to get as many black and latino votes again? Are “fiscal conservatives” going to trust him again? Have 5% of Republican voters been turned off by all the Trumpism? Because our electrons are razor-close. That tiny bit of difference in turnout is everything.

PsychedSy ,

Brother, Hillary was a fucking failure.

Trump will have no slack. Those of us who don’t care are against him now. Carrot over Trump.

erranto ,

Hyperbole much !

Got a counter-example? Putin? Kim?

Trump is a moron and a speed junkie. The Heritage Foundation is the true threat, theocrats with billionaires funding.

JustZ ,
@JustZ@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah Trump too though.

twisted28 ,

I feel this was a long term project by the wealthy. Cutting Education funding, propaganda networks etc. Trump is the leader of their cult of personality. In a functioning democracy like Norway the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. In America they rule over workers like dictators. But the type of government could eventually turn on them. This project 2025 is the billionaires way to cement their rule. They’ll come for the rest of the world too eventually, if climate change doesn’t get in the way first. The rest of the world needs to pay attention, the results of this election will reverberate for decades.

ohlaph ,

He wants to get in, then appoint his sons as leaders after him. His whole family is one giant skid mark.

alienanimals ,

Donald Trump sucks, but this title is some clickbait bullshit written by a buzzfeed-level journalist.

KevonLooney ,

BuzzFeed news is better than this. They break good news stories. Writers for the Economist tend to be experts at telling us things we already know, years later.

This “man” (and I use that term loosely) was already elected president and served a 4 year term. Everyone who paid the slightest attention knows what he’s about.
