Really wish we had a better option but it’s anyone not fascist until this wave of budget fascism dies out

[–] GTKashi@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Over time I see less and less of the need to be like "lol I don't like who I'm voting for, but I feel like I have to." I see absolutely no regret in 1) voting against obviously they worst thing ever and 2) voting for someone who seems to a least try to do things that aren't horrible and are generally pretty good? They only time you're going to agree with everything a candidate says or does you'd be on the ballot yourself. Even then it's probably healthy to disagree with yourself a bit.

I just hate that I'm forced to support Israel because the only other option is a literal dictator

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 15 points 8 months ago

Who also supports Israel. It’s not the president, it’s the MIC and every single moneyed interest powering the US.

He's unironically a cuck. After all of Trump's personal attacks and humiliation, Ron went full TED CRUZZZZZZ and immediately got on his knees and started slobbing on Trump's golden knob.

What a big dumb baby.

[–] Whippygoatcream@reddthat.com 32 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Should have accepted his participation trophy

[–] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 54 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He should be forced to carry his unviable campaign to term.

We can and should laugh at this pathetic wannabe dictator.

But it's too bad that all of the GOP candidates are falling in line so early. A primary where 3-4 people were constantly hammering on how Trump was bad for the country would have more effect than the full general election will on right-leaning fence-sitters. Instead, they are falling over themselves to show submission.

But then again, even the idea of a real primary was probably a fantasy. It's always been a Trump VP pageant filled with sycophants.

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 2 points 8 months ago

it is desperation so much of the nation wants similar things, they can only be this to have a chance.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

weak and pathetic

Maybe he should have used even taller lifts in his shoes and leaned forward all the time, it works for the wannabe mango Mussolini

[–] scripthook@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I wonder if Hailey drops out and by some miracle Trump is found ineligible by SCOTUS than the Republicans would have NO candidates to run for President. That would be very interesting…

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How do any of these morons expect to beat Trump if they won't say anything negative about him because they are afraid of pissing off the psychotic MAGA crowd? They ran campaigns refusing to call out his bad behavior when it would have been a slam dunk to just point out that Trump is an indicted felon and a crook and has no business running for office while under so many legal threats.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Chris Christie did. Didn't get far either.

[–] athos77@kbin.social 12 points 8 months ago

He's probably gonna keep trashing Florida, though - gotta line up a post-governorship job with Faux.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

"Why does no one like me, even when I'm the one hurting them?” - Ron DeSantis probably

[–] frezik@midwest.social 11 points 8 months ago

Forgot how to fascist. Don't try to get more popular than the boss.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Well that was distracting for a few minutes.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago

No one suspended shit. You don't suspend something as important as a presidential campaign. He ended it.

[–] Introversion@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Adios, puddin’ fingers!

[–] HopingForBetter@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Buh-bye, Rhonda Sand-Tits!
