Between rising prices and gilded ballrooms, Trump has practically giftwrapped oppo ads for Democrats.

    He doesn’t care. He’s on his way out, ultimately he’ll burn the entire world just to get his way.

    My guess is the powered that holdings strings will sacrifice Trump if he loses the elections and bank on JD Vance staying in office with the rest of the corrupt cabinet.

    Doesn’t matter the damage would take a generation to fix and the heritage foundation has solidified 3/4 of its plan. The other elephant in the room is that the fascist terrorist state of Israel fully owns both parties so unless we start arresting these politicians for treason we’ll continue to be occupied by a genocidal state. This is the part where I get yelled at because vote blue no matter who which I have done my entire life and I’m pretty old and things continue to get worse. Also, candidates like Newsom are also neoliberal Israeli first fascists so there’s that too.

    He’s knows he’s going to lose, so he wants it to be as messy as possible.

        Interesting tidbit from that article:

        California runs a top-two primary system that puts all candidates on the same ballot, regardless of party, and sends the two candidates who get the most voters onto the November general election.

        Leading California Democrats are worried that their party has so many candidates, they risk splitting the vote and sending Bianco and Steve Hilton, another top Republican, onto the general election. That would be a stunning outcome in the heavily Democratic state.

        Then implement ranked-choice ballots you stupid bastards

    He will try his hardest to cheat, but he is also pissing a lot of people off.

    Now if the Stop All Voters Equality bill passes, then it’s possible we could lose tens of millions of votes due to more election rigging by Republicans, but even then it may not be enough.

    They are betting on there being no midterms, or provoking a 9/11 type attack and rallying support before then.

    Remember the pandemic, he sucks at handling a crisis and can only succeed if dems shoot themselves in the foot and put an unpopular candidate.

      she’s a woman, that’s what made her unpopular

      it wasn’t a bad decision, she’s still the most qualified candidate

      but americans showed what they want and they will live with it

        Run a progressive woman like AOC and if she loses I’ll concede it’s misogyny. Until then I’m putting the blame on the shitty platforms these centrist women keep running on.

    Does Trump plan on leaving the White House at the end of his term?

    Remember, last time he said no.

    Yeah, I think he is. I think he’s doing the most outrageous things possible to rile people up, so when they react he he can then declare Martial Law and cancel the election.

    You’d think running against a Russian agent, pedophile, rapist, thief, insurrectionist and an unapologetic fascist would be easy, but the Democrats will “Go High” and fuck it up again anyway.

    No, Trump is working on forcing somebody, anybody to “justify” either his invoking of the Insurrection Act, XOR invoking martial-law.

    Try impeaching him?

    That “justifies” the Insurrection Act.

    Get violent against his ICE terrorism of your city?

    That “justifies” martial-law.

    He’s BEGGING somebody to “justify” his total-dictatorship, & thus-far people aren’t cooperating.

    The problem is that he can’t be impeached, now, because he’ll just escalate & use that to “justify” his dictatorship: there’s no check/balance left, really, only a wrestling-choreography that “delays” the inevitable, now.

      Is that a logic gate? An OR is also quite likely.
