“Listen, just because some paid for Supreme Court justices make a ruling that you can do anything as an official act, doesn’t give you supreme executive power, that comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical corrupt judges.”
Yeah, but in those days a weak ruler meant a more evil ruler would take over thru violence or lack of support for the current ruler…
It’s still true, but it was in those days too
that comes from a mandate from the masses
And a weak ruler is one without a mandate of the masses.
Historically speaking, they don’t hang on to power long.
In this sketch, Dennis tells Arthur that they’re an anarcho-syndaclist collective commune. Maybe they were onto something…
Edit: I temporarily misremembered the wording.
I doubt he’s going to settle for king, pretty sure it’ll be Emperor at least.
The sad part is after Biden’s interview last night where he repeated said only “the Lord god” could make him quit the race, this meme could have his face and name a d be just as accurate
The only difference is Biden refuses to use the powers granted to the president.
trump doesn’t
I see you’re very opposed to the idea of Biden continuing to try to prevent a fascist from seizing power. Now me, I’m behind Bernie 100%, and Bernie says Biden is the best chance we have to stop Trump, so I’m behind Biden. If they chose anyone else but Biden at this point, there’d be a lot of concern the choice wasn’t democratic, and it would hurt whoever’s chances. So if Biden says he’s personally going to prevent Project 2025 and not leave it up to anyone else, I’m on his side on that.
I’m concerned that if he IS sundowning, then he could do more damage closer to the election than dropping now. It’s concerning - Do we want to gamble on this?
Fuck, if only Trump could just drop dead. On top of several high profile GoP, killing them via crushing
Why do you want Biden to be the candidate more than you want to stop trump from becoming president?
You know polls show Biden will lose and the more people see of him, the worse he does in polls.
What is your plan to get voters with Biden again?
So if Biden says he’s personally going to prevent Project 2025 and not leave it up to anyone else, I’m on his side on that.
You know like 13 hours ago he literally said he wouldn’t care that much if he lost to trump?

What they’re saying: “If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you’re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?” Stephanopoulos asked Biden.
“I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all, and I did as good a job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,” the president responded.
At other points in the interview, Biden repeatedly denied that his approval rating could be as low as 36%, that elected Democrats want him to step aside, and that the presidential race is anything but a "toss-up.
He’s not taking it seriously, and his entire campaign is based on “trump bad” which is true.
But to turn around say he doesn’t really care if he loses?
Why are you defending his refusal to take this serious or even acknowledge people don’t want him?
Why do you want Biden to be the candidate more than you want to stop trump from becoming president?
I don’t. I made it very clear in my comment that I only care about Biden because I want to stop Trump from becoming president. Now either you didn’t care to pay attention enough to understand the most basic point of my argument, or you’re lying about what I said. And I don’t feel like seriously engaging with someone who is either incompetent or a liar.
You are however more than welcome to spout such nonsense on !nonvoters@lemmy.blahaj.zone, which I created to make fun of opinions like yours.
Maybe…
Maybe, just maybe, people wouldn’t compare the two of them so much if Biden wasn’t acting so much like trump?
Have you just not watched the interview yet?

If you’re tired of people comparing Biden and trump, maybe we should run a Dem candidate who has anything else to campaign on than trump.
Like, Biden and his campaign constantly compare the two, but when voters do it, it’s literally:
No, not like that!
Biden had been campaigning on his accomplishments. Talks about them constantly. It’s clear he has a compare and contrast approach that includes his accomplishments.
You say “we should run a Dem candidate” but this is not how the system actually works. Both parties are private organizations whose internal policies are regulated internally. The primaries are not public institutions, they are not federally regulated, and their results are not even legally binding. “We” could run the perfect candidate as a Democrat. They’re unfailingly charismatic, knowledgeable on every subject, yet every voter sees themselves in them. Lifelong Republicans even change party to vote for them. Ultimately, the Democratic party is not obligated to accept them as leader, even with 100% of all votes in their favor.
It’s broken. I’m not trying to tell you that it’s okay. It’s not. But just being mad without understanding what you’re mad about isn’t going to change a damn thing.
