It's been quite the political whirlwind!
I finally understand what all of the fuss is about, firsthand. Election Year in a Battleground State is THE WORST. The constant bombardment of political propaganda being shoved down the throats of every citizen in the state is nothing short of diabolical! Imagine trying to argue that we live in a democracy with this kind of psychological warfare taking place in all the exact regions it needs to take place to win an election. One-to-one voting is a farce that's been hacked to oblivion while still remaining to be championed as the tool of ultimate freedom. Wild!
Well it seems we're coming to consensus on something here!
Both on the left and right many seem to be coming to the conclusion that this entire event was choreographed to magnificent effect. Democrats and Republicans alike now believe that Joe Biden completely bombed the debate on purpose in order to shepherd in the current result. Could Kamala win a fair election in the primaries? Basic logic says no... but they just hacked the system a bit more to completely avoid that election altogether. Unprecedented event after unprecedented event back to back to back. Embrace clown world; it's highly entertaining.
Embracing the idea of Anarchy (rules without rulers)
Not that I really care who the candidates are, just noting the blatant and unending corruption of the system. Kamala Harris went from a nobody to America's Savior overnight. I'm on record as far back as 2021 saying that Biden was never going to win reelection, and I was proven correct (despite overwhelming incumbent odds). This is the stage of declining-empire we find ourselves in (incumbents no longer win). The world is thirsty for something different.
I still believe that the dems have a much lower chance of winning than they are representing. It seems like the polling data is absolutely worthless these days. Or rather not worthless but much better and ending the complete demoralization of the party rather than expressing the truth. However, there is quite a bit of momentum there.
Of course no matter what happens: if dems win, the right will claim they cheated. It's those damn mail-in ballots I tell ya! Truckloads upon truckloads of fake votes, boy howdy! Dead people voting! Illegals voting and getting free healthcare and housing. Blah blah blah. Insert basic-bitch partisan topic here. This is the children's table of politics. Sit down, shut up, and start arguing about the approved topics on the list, like abortion or inflation.
It's hard to say just how much cheating goes on in an election but it's pretty obvious that the biggest threat are the electronic machines that have proven time and time again to be completely untrustworthy and easily hackable, seemingly by design. That's why I'm a fan of DPOS voting. "Free and fair" elections are so bad at this point that I'd rather see money voting publicly than people voting privately. End of an era and onto something new.
Joe Rogan for RFK
And then there was that whole moment where Joe Rogan denounced Trump and put in a bid for RFK. Did you guys catch that? I didn't pay much attention to it but I hear he's since rolled it back to get all the trolls off his back.
Harris economic plan
I think it's pretty funny that Harris says she's going to fix the "border crisis" and "inflation" when she was firmly part of the administration that created all the problems in the first place. In fact only now do dems even admit that there is a problem at the border to begin with. Also I watched a few minutes of the democratic national convention yesterday and they claimed to have a bi-partisan solution to the border but Trump somehow killed the bill using his influence. "Selfishly killing a bi-partisan solution to selfishly help his own campaign" is the narrative they were peddling. Of course regardless of the actual truth you can't really believe anything that comes out of the mouths of these lunatics during these literal propaganda conventions. Even Bill Clinton and both Obamas spoke. Blah blah blah. Not interested.
Price Fixing Never Works
A lot of people are saying the Harris economic plan involves preventing stores from raising prices... which is a terrible idea. Of course if we actually look into any of these claims it's all blatant speculation because Harris basically refuses to distribute any kind of policy at all because vague promises of fixing the economy, inflation, and the border. Classic politicians.
Of course nobody brings up what caused all these problems in the first place. Basically COVID protocol and sanctioning Russia completely screwed up the entire economy in a slow-moving shockwave of broken logistics. And also I can't help but note that her chosen running mate is basically just another police-state military man. These people are cops. Do we really want to elect cops to the highest office? Talk about a recipe for martial law. I'll be fine either way I'm sure it's more the other people I'm worried about... just like during the COVID lockdowns.
Alcoholic
There's a rumor going around that Harris is a total functioning alcoholic... so that's fun. Very unclear if there's any truth to these rumors as they are only being spread by the right. Speaking of rumors... the left likes to say Trump and Vance are "weird" and make jokes about Vance literally fucking a couch. This is the type of maturity level we can expect during Clown World apparently. "Don't vote for that guy he's a weird couch fucker." Stranger than fiction I tell ya.
And then there's the whole assassination attempt that seems like a distant memory even though it literally happened last month. Crazy month in politics that's for damn sure. I guess we'll see how it plays out. I've spent a lot of time here talking trash about the dems so it's good to point out that this trash-monster is just as bad as the rest of them. They aren't going to fix shit. Get over it and stop voting for these turds. Stop acknowledging this broken system as legitimate and abstain from picking between the douche and the turd-sandwich.
Conclusion
Clown World has been highly entertaining lately.
Great post! Recently picked this sticker up, but I won't be voting so I can't honestly wear it.
noice
PREEEAAAACH! You're spitting my favorite sermon! I still vote, but never for a D or R. I tell every one that will listen, every day, that if every voter just quit voting for D's and R's, we could change this country in one election cycle.
It wouldn't necessarily fix anything, but at least they would be a different kind of broken. I'm tired of listening to this particular record skip.
This was the best political humor I've seen yet on Hive, even better than my own political humor, and that's not something I'll say often.
are you not entertained?
😅
I am, but not as horribly entertained as you will be this election cycle. The only good thing about living in NY is that we are definitely NOT a swing state, and just about the only political ads we see are local.

I doubt that Harris' administration created all those problems in the first place. Credit for that goes back several, if not a great many, administrations. especially inflation. However, she did steadfastly and regularly deny that both the border crisis and inflation were even things.
100% agree with these. It's all pure entertainment. National elections are when the slaves are thrown their annual bones.
Seeing that here in the UK.
Is it as bad as we hear in the UK? People being arrested for saying anything that doesn't reflect government pronouncements?
I would say it's more a heavy handed approach and using propaganda ("the last government was so terrible, we're left with these problems) to justify a particular, also heavy-handed, agenda.
I was skeptical before the election and I feel my analysis was right.
or maybe what you're hearing is right
Same thing happening here then. We're not being arrested yet, though.
Even though Dems have been in higher office, looking at both the white house and congress, for nearly all of the past 16 years, anyone espousing conservative views is blamed for everything, censored, ridiculed, hated and feared. It's really crazy here! Can't have a discussion with anyone who does not agree with you 100% without doors being slammed. I don't know how to fix this, other than to be very true to ourselves. Hard to do! Or is it becoming easier? I am being very careful, but still honest.
Rough ride ahead! South Park vote for South Park they cried, spot on!
Still many who think Trump is going to dismantle the central banks and fix clown world!
They sure do.
And what did he do with the 4 years he already had? :D
He wore a mask and closed down the world.
🤡🌎
He helped make it a little harder to dismantle the central banks and fix clown world.
I won't engage on most of what you address here, because there is so much backstory and it's all so complicated, I would need a book. Anyway, what do I know? This, however, is patently absurd.
First of all, I don't know any Democrats who believe this. More importantly, have you watched the man? He had to be dragged kicking and screaming from the race. Ego got the best of him. For some reason, he thought he, and only he could lead the battle successfully.
He is bitter, and will probably die a bitter man. You could write an ode to narcissism featuring Trump and Biden as anti-heroes. They are both consumed with their place in history, and their own superior mission.
Biden was kicked out, and he was kicked out none too soon. It's embarrassing to watch him now...not because he is old (I am old), but because he lacked the humility to step aside when time had taken its toll.
The thing is it doesn't solve anything as no single person changes or makes the decisions. That's what people fail to understand. If it was that way it would be a dictatorship or socialism and well we are slowly heading towards those things mainly because a vast majority of people are lazy and want so called "free" handouts and that some how everyone is equal.
Even the ones who don't want free handouts want someone to do something about those noisy neighbors, and all the other stuff they wish they didn't have to deal with.
Oddly, 99% of the people complaining about how Harris got the Democratic nomination aren’t even Democrats. Weird.
Eh that's what happens when your party's main objective is simply to obstruct the other side.
In theory not holding an election and not picking the most popular candidate should be bad for the dems. GOP just likes to whine about everything. Not that I think the other side is any better with the whole Trump-derangement-syndrome development.
Dems have been openly rigging their primaries for at least the last 3 election cycles. Their voters just accept it now that they're not really picking anyone, just defeating the orange man.
Career politicians care about one thing and one thing only: their own paycheck and power. It's why it doesn't matter what party wins, nothing ever changes except to get worse for the middle and low classes.
It's the same bullshit up here in Canada. Trudeau is a loser and PP is a crackpot and the only difference is that Trudeau already fucked us raw through his dumb COVID choices which made his gov't take on more national debt than literally every other government since confederation combined. What a legacy. So now everyone is mad and we will likely get a new clown in office next year just to make newer dumb mistakes that will still change nothing for 99% of people.
What fun.
But hey at least they'll help you suicide... as long as you get the vax first... lol.
Dark.
I had a friend who actually did the MAID service there - he had leukemia as a kid and while he had survived it, he was left in a wheelchair and was losing function of his hands and arms too... Mind was just fine but he was unable to do anything and his quality of life had been rapidly declining so bad that he decided to end it... Which I kind of get, but his is an exceptional use case... It sounds like most folks aren't necessarily using it as intended.
I'm from an alternate timeline where Kamala is a wrestler, Trump is a card game, and RFK starts with a J.
I'm both astonished and intensely confused by this information.
I was looking at RFK for a bit when the two fellows appeared to be the only candidates and he is absolutely bonkers. Some of his positions on issues are even more disturbing than Trump at a beauty pageant. Sorry, that might have offended some of the righties out there. Biden in a Denver Mattress store? Kamala in a liquor store (so you say now...) :)
A lot of people like a lot of the things that RFK says (including me) but it seems like nobody actually comes out to defend him (including me).
😃
Candidate A is so bad we just have to elect candidate B!
Dr. Shiva FTW!
Thanks!
This was funny because when Trump was in charge, people like John Oliver did entire hit pieces on these machines saying how they're easily hacked or whatever. When the coin flipped to their side, it became functionally illegal to question them.
There's a lot of examples of this kind of mega hypocrisy - Trump inciting violence by saying 'we have to fight' (for our democracy). Enter entire video compilations of democrats saying the exact same thing (or even literally calling for violence) and nobody bats an eye.
Tiresome.
An amusing look at an amusing situation.
You raise an interesting idea of perhaps biden isn't suddenly senile, but he planned this to continue to influence the Presidency even after technically leaving office. American politicians use to serve one term because it was a sacrifice wihich didn't help their really business. A problem which suggests they weren't grifting. I could be wrong, but if working for the government costs you money you could be making on your farm or in your business, you sound like an honest man/woman. Although we have little proof woman were involved back then.
