Funny since the other guy is running on an updated Nazi platform.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 48 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Seems like it should be really easy to find a democrate candidate who is both better than Biden and not a Nazi.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And not having a foot in the grave would be nice.

Why? Get him to pick an awesome VP and then kick the bucket. Sounds awesome.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

To be fair, this is partly how I've been looking at it. In the event that power gets delegated to the VP, you want to know the right hand man isn't an absolute crock of shit as well.

But surely even an old man suffering dementia is a better candidate than Trump.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They're laying around all over the place. The thing is none of them want to run right now.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The sitting president is the leader of the party. He's not going anywhere.

This should make the democrat's intentions very clear.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But he's a whole 3 years younger!

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

To the point I personally love to make..

Trump. Biden. George W. Bill Clinton.

Were all, at one point, simultaneously high school students. All born within 4 years of one another.

1992 - 2028. With the exception of Obama, all under the rule of one very, very narrow demographic.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That generation refuses to let go. It will be amazing if they swap Biden for Hillary.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nobody wants Hillary to run. Not even Hillary.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 8 points 3 months ago

But it's her turn!

And clearly takes better care of himself with all those hamberders and covfefe.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Seriously, the whole too old argument is a bulldog with rubber teeth. Trump's a buffoon with or without cognitive decline.

Shhhh, we like nazi platforms here. Don't let the liberals find out the truth.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 54 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I would vote for the cryptkeeper. He's the only one with better banter than Trump.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He would... kill it during the debate.

Wild cackling

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

His opponents would come... dead last.

[–] Rascabin@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Isn't this a shot from Indiana Jones?

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I stand by my statement. #CryptKeeper2024

I refuse to vote for Donovan. He's a Nazi.

Not to mention he's just shit at choosing.

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

He chose... Poorly

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Someone fucking down voted this? Trumpers fucking live here, man.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm. Not. Amused. Crypt keeper has a solid track record and is the last hope at keeping literal nazis from power. In fact, I wish he was more dead just to show that I'd vote for a pile of dirt over donald j trump.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

You have to vote for Genocide Joe to finish off the Palestinians and throw even more asylum seekers into concentration camps and send more missiles to Nazis, otherwise you're a fascist or something.

[–] ssm@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Genocide Joe goes so fucking hard. It rolls off the tongue so well, I can't stop saying it. Genocide Joe. Genocide Joe.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Jim Crow Joe...?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If't hadn't been for genocide Joe,
Palestine'd been free long time 'go.
Where'd you come from,
Why won't you go?
Can y'draw a clock now, genocide Joe?

[–] pezhore@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I mean at least Biden is a slow roll, Trump would rather nuke them.

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This only logical conclusion to this naive utilitarianism is reaching a point 30 years from now when liberals will be frothing at the mouths in support of the dem candidate who wants 5 genocides as opposed to the republican who wants 10.

There is a legend about a certain species of caterpillar that can only cross the threshold of metamorphosis by seeing its future butterfly. Proletarian subjectivity does not evolve by incremental steps but requires non-linear leaps, especially moral self-recognition through solidarity with the struggle of a distant people, even when this contradicts short-term self-interest, as in the famous cases of Lancashire cotton workers’ enthusiasm for Lincoln and later for Gandhi. Socialism, in other words, requires non-utilitarian actors, whose ultimate motivations and values arise from structures of feeling that others would deem spiritual. Marx rightly scourged romantic humanism in the abstract, but his personal pantheon—Prometheus and Spartacus, Homer, Cervantes, and Shakespeare—affirmed a heroic vision of human possibility that no longer seems to have any purchase in our fallen world.

Both side should just compromise and go with 7.5 genocides.

If I was on the receiving end of the genocide, I would rather just have a nuke end my people's suffering than get slowly meat-grinder'd to death by the IDF; but that's just me.

Also bonus points for irradiating the fascists in Israel.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If Isreal just wanted every Palestinian dead and nothing else, don't you think they would have dropped their own nukes on October 8? Zionists have no interest in irradiating the manifest destiny prize they're currently waging a doomed invasion to take.
