If this was Biden, we’d hear no end of how he has dementia.
Don’t know if Trump has dementia. I certainly know he’s stupid as shit!
Lock him up!
Some of the things he’s said in the past year, when he’s not in front of a crowd, might indicate early stages of dementia. Time will tell.
It’s not dementia. It’s just being an idiot and not caring to learn because that’s not his message and he knows it doesn’t matter.
Republican legislation is now pushing a bill to change the name from Sioux City to Sioux Falls to cover Trump’s blunder.
They were fine with Regan they are fine with dumb shit Trump.
Its not about choosing the best guy for the job its about hurting the democrats.
The official campaign for the Republican candidate for U.S. President campaigned on the slogan “Make Liberals Cry Again.”
The GOP didn’t have a policy platform in 2020, but at least their candidate had that slogan, and the Republican masses were cheering and hollering over it at every Trump really.
Everyone on the campaign was okay with that. Everyone in the Republican party was okay with that. Everyone on the Republican National Committee was okay with that.
Tells you absolutely everything you need to know about the current Republican party.
I guess it’s easy to confuse the two when you’re a moron ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Americans vote nursing home candidates instead of presidential candidates
I don’t think the average American wants politicians this old, they are being chosen by their political parties as having the highest chance of winning because we have a broken voting system that encourages fewer candidates per party so that they don’t steal votes from each other.
That is why we need ranked choice voting, so that more candidates can run without competing and we could vote for people we actually like instead of voting against candidates we don’t like.
Not to mention the need to level the playing field in terms of campaign financing which currently makes it more likely for more established politicians to have collected funding from private organizations, superpacs, and corporate lobbying.
This means that the politicians who are in the pockets of the capitalist elites are more likely to win and to enact the will of these corporations.
Those corpos aren’t capitalist. They want government intervention (to save them when their little investing adventures fail)
Capitalism is the driving force of almost everything that’s wrong in America. [1]
I agree that bailing out a corporation is not very capitalist, but that is not the primary goal of corporate lobbying. I believe it is mostly about keeping their industry legal, unregulated, low-taxed, etc.
What are they, if not capitalist?
It seems obvious that in a capitalist system those with capital will benefit if they use that capital to gain political power. Regulatory capture is just good business, right? It’s the same reason capitalist enterprises will just buy up competition - they don’t want competition, they want profit. It’s a lot easier to win the game if you can cripple your opponents.
Until we make and are are able to enforce stronger laws protecting us little people, corporations will tend to wield power to keep squeezing us, because it’s (unfortunately) perfectly legal (though obviously, at least IMHO, perfectly immoral).
Totally, privatize the profits, socialize the losses. The American “capitalist” way.
Wait, I almost forget socialize the massive environmental damages, drinking water sources destroyed, harmful chemicals spread everywhere, people harmed, CO2 and other pollutants dumped into the atmosphere, and all the other damaging effects of our business we didn’t pay for.
I don’t think we can even blame this just on boomerism though, the average age for candidates didn’t go up a little, it went up a LOT. Obama finished his final term as President just over 6 years ago, and he is only 62 right now. Trump is 77 and Biden is 80 right now, a year out from election day. That’s not “boomers voting for boomers”. Trump is just barely a boomer at all, and Biden is solidly silent generation.
