            People like you keep the RNC DNC power sharing effective dictatorship scheme going.

            "You can vote for all the pointless affirmation ribbons(D) and/or cruel scapegoating® you want, so long as you vote for soul crushing capitalist metastasis, for profit mass murder confidence schemes including our entire healthcare system, mass homelessness, and perverse levels of economic inequality(D&R) at all cost.

            Freedom!"

                Without people like you claiming our two corrupted, coconspiring parties shouting that they’re the only choices, we could have a real choice.

                Surely you see how it’s in the best interests of the DNC and the RNC to declare themselves the only rational options, but still, sometimes they lose. AOC is a good example of this in a primary, they still despise her for “stealing” that neoliberals seat, and Sanders is another as an independent.

                Republicans/Democrats are only as inevitable as we believe they are, and some people under their thumb sure to enjoy trapping others under said thumb. With either of those parties in charge, we are not free. This is theater, a game they cooperatively play against us while taking the same bribes from the same oligarchs and driving social wedges between us to keep us too hateful unite against the economy they both protect from us. The supposed democratic equivalent of “you can have any color you want as long as it’s black.”

                Things will continue to decline until their political duopoly ends, or we collapse by their hands which is looking sooner rather than later. We sink a little slower under Democrats because pointless ribbons don’t destroy the social fabric as scapegoating does, but we’re still sinking under either.

    Well that’s because he wasn’t a dictator yet at that time of that election, next time I’m sure he’ll win BIGLY with 389% of the vote!

          Just gonna point out that only like 40-60 percent of the country votes on any given election year. So being generous Trump was only voted in by about thirty percent of the population at most.

            If you don’t vote even if you can your vote goes to the extremist party automatically. You can’ not vote and then claim you were against it. If you really were, you would have voted against it, even if the alternative wasn’t good either.

            Alright nitpick #2 “half of the people of the United States that are adults and citizens” y’all are so autistic sometimes. Just understand the intention of the comment and move on. I don’t need you to give me an aKcHuAlLy comment.

              But it’s not even half of adults and citizens, only 40-60% of eligible voters even vote, so if you were counting children it would be even lower than 1/3. Probably as low as 1/4

    If only that dickhead in Butler knew to aim for the center of mass…
    But no, the idiot needed his headshot.
    He wanted to be Lee Harvey Oswald but ended up John Schrank

      Honestly, we don’t know where he was actually aiming. He could’ve been aiming center mass and just sucked, which might line up with the whole story about him not being allowed into the marksmanship club at his school.

      Does Trump wear body armour?

      Even without it, one shot centre of mass isn’t a guaranteed kill.

    You’d think that bullet or the broken glass would be in the Smithsonian or something. You know, if it was real.

    It’s a necrocracy. I’m going to risk the dead also vote, by representation.

    100%

    Full support for the leader. Dissention is not an option.

    88%

    The resemblance of a democracy is still to uphold. Very lightly. But…

    50.9%

    This is democracy and maths call the victor!

    Do I have to add it?

      The meme is a joke by making fun of Trump for behaving like the other Autocrats while he can’t even get his numbers up like them (yet).
