I've lost all respect for amerikkka. It's ruined everything when it comes to social media and is the reason the rest of us can't have nice things. I've been searching for new social spaces online becasue all the main ones are toxic piles of shit now.

Not everyone online is american, not everyone online hates who you hate. Some of us are just disabled and want to have pleasant conversations with people. We're not allowed to do that anymore.

Remember that Iowa is not representative of the entire country. They have attempted over decades to position themselves as "king makers"

Well, the definition of king makers is that they are not representative of the country.

Wait, are you telling me that wanted to be king makers for decades? Is it possible that they horribly misunderstood that phase?

Think about it. Twenty years ago, what king did they put into power? That's right, Steve King. It's the only explanation for anyone voting for him. I mean. I can't image another one.

Obviously, I'm joking, but the truth is, any state keeps Steve King in power can't be representative. Iowa only has four districts. If one quarter of their delegation to the HoR was Steve fucking King, they would have send world-class liberals next to him to even hope of being representative of the nation. But that world-class liberal doesn't exist.

Iowa's reps are almost always 3 R and 1 D. Until 2021, one of those Rs was Steve King. Iowa currently has 4 Rs in the house. I'm so glad we gave up the contest to win the hearts and minds of that state.

“This is the third we’ve won, but this is the biggest,” he said.

In fact, he lost Iowa in the 2016 primaries to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. His win in 2020 was as the sitting president with but token opposition.

Fucking beautiful. What a just surreal time to be alive.

This country is full of just awful human beings.

Here’s a link to the video, since Newsweek couldn’t be bothered.

…somebody reported on this?

Imagine having the universe of 45-related content in front of you and selecting that.

I’m gonna start preparing for the civil war.

Yeah when the war breaks out I'm just going to fucking kill myself. I'm not living through that shit.

Nah. It's sleeping pills for me.

DigitalTraveler42 ,

Not a bad idea, invite them in, drug them with sleeping pills, slit their throats, just like the European resistance did the first time we had to fight Nazi fuckheads.

(Don't worry I know you still meant suicide)

DigitalTraveler42 ,

If you're starting now you're way behind, some of these nutters have been planning for decades.

Just learn how to rob fortified positions instead. /s

NABDad , in Donald Trump mocked for video of him walking down stairs

As much as I'd like to see that shithead raked over the coals for anything, I watched the video and didn't notice anything unusual.

7u5k3n ,

This article isn't for.left folks... It's for those Rs who want a "strong" president. So media will do what ever they can to attack him to make him look weak.

They do the same.thing with Biden and his forgetfulness.

It's all bull shitty propaganda :/

I know I should be neither shocked nor surprised by this, but seriously, what the actual f.

RizzRustbolt , in Sanders Predicts Dems Will 'Rally 'Round' Biden Because Trump Is 'One of Most Dangerous' Figures in Modern History

Then the party will see that they got "enough" centrists to vote for them to justify dumping anything progressive from the platform. And then lose both the house and senate in '26.

AllonzeeLV , (edited ) in Sanders Predicts Dems Will 'Rally 'Round' Biden Because Trump Is 'One of Most Dangerous' Figures in Modern History

Yes, I'll vote for OG Neoliberal to attempt to stop Jerry Lewis Hitler for a third time, just as they chose to turn the water pumps on the Titanic knowing the ship was doomed either way to buy a few extra minutes.

It's funny how many true believers in our failed system then angrily declare that I must also love crime bill passing, social safetynet eviscerating, supply side economics propagating Biden, or I'm still somehow voting for Trump.

Ross_audio ,

From the rest of the world,

Could everyone like you make it obvious you'll turn out.

These numbers look bad.

AllonzeeLV ,

I'll turn out.

I turned out for Clinton, never seen the ballots so empty for a Presidential election, after making calls and primarying for Sanders.

I will turn out, but many will not with nothing to vote for, only against and that is the electorate's fault, not the disenfranchised. They have good reason to be.

50% of Americans really want to see the world burn don't they.

Greasy orange traitor fuck. Lock him the fuck up.
