just like Democrats

if we had real debates third parties would be allowed

remember 2012 when both parties had a candidate chained to chair for eight hours?

The authoritarian radicals on .ml pretending to be leftists? Those same people were pushing Stein for a few months now. You can ask them how things are going with Uyghur people to make them expose their true feelings.

I got banned from lemmy.ml for just posting the truth about Chinese cheaters in college. They are just as bad as the far right.

It really blows my mind when anyone starts spewing about the Green Party in the states these days. There’s a TON of documented proof of (unfortunate) ties that she and the party have to a hostile nation-state, and for the life of me I cannot fucking understand why they thought that was a good play.

I think she should question his manhood. Literally. Think all those voters who love him for his supposed machismo will feel the same after his female opponent publicly questions his manhood?

I’ve been thinking a good line for her to whip out some time would be “From my line of work I’m accustomed to guilty felons being afraid of me, and former president Trump is clearly no exception to that.”

“Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President?” Trump wrote. “Just askin’?”

Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if you had actual talking points on politics, which is what you should do when you are running for president.

Your whole strategy is slander and lying. Now you are the presidential candidate equivalent of that one guy who cries about politics in memes on a political meme board! You are admitting of literally doing this!

To be fair, he’s like 34 times better at it than most people. Even the courts say so.

It’s one of the things he does that absolutely infuriates me. Everyone else is a crook, a fraud, anti-american, but ol dipshit Donnie is supposed to be the beacon of truth and compassion?

Give me a fucking break…

“I object to the candidate we slandered every day and said was unfit from withdrawing from the race.”

“On what grounds?”

“It’s detrimental to my campaign.”

The Dems hadn’t actually nominated anyone for this election yet, that happens during the convention which is still a few weeks from now.

The big swings this guy takes are unbelievable. It’s like he says he should be allowed to have a third term because the first didn’t count because everyone didn’t love him enough.

He actually tried this in 2020. Said that since the Dems and everyone “blocked” him so much, his first term shouldn’t count.

Why bother? Just don’t do a debate.

The fact that he’s bitching about it rather than gloating means Biden made the right choice, though.
