I don’t think there’s much of a difference between the two with the flip flopping and rhetoric that has been rampant since 2016

This article from 2022 sums it up nicely

I can dig up more direct quotes if you like, but suffice to say the GOP are all in on the Trump brand. I don’t think the difference is the nuanced argument you would like it to be. Lots of high ranking Nazis in the post war era talked about how much they hated Hitler. Fascism is a self serving ideology, they love you until they have no use for you, look at how Ben Shapiro is currently floundering for a modern example.

The GOP absolutely loves Trump. They say they don’t like him but often parrot and amplify his talking points.

First past the post got us in this mess and it sure as shit ain’t gonna get us out of it. I’ll take a straw poll over what our current system is.

Ranked Choice voting allows for the kind of direct democratic action as we just saw in France and what they finally got around to doing in the UK with the most recent elections.

However, it’s against the best interest of the current politicians in power.

How do we get Ranked Choice on ballot when the DNC won’t even use it in their primaries?

Assuming that is true; what’s your proposal to fix this now?

Which sucks because nihilism wasn’t a doomer outlook

I’ve been known to shitpost here and there, look at my comment history for proof of that. However, I always atleast try to start from a position of good faith and extend that assumption to whoever I’m disagreeing/discussing/arguing with here on Lemmy. Even routine shitposters and what some consider trolls.

We’re all humans out here. I try not to amplify divisive politics.

These are bold claims, I’ve edited my comment above with supporting articles. Do you have any supporting evidence for your claims?

There is a spectrum of political discussion that is more nuanced than that.

I too oppose the sale of arms to and have always opposed the apartheid state that Israel has built. If there’s any chance of replacing Biden and not ending up with Trump that is what I want.

I am however 100% certain that Trump will encourage an escalation and wholesale destruction of the Palestinian state and advocate for the rounding up of the Palestinian diaspora. Trump would empower Bibi to escalate to taking over Libya and Trump has openly advocated for war with Iran. Iran, one of the few countries rendering aid to Hamas right now.

Biden is misguided and naive that he thinks Bibi will not exterminate the Palestinians. Trump wants nothing more than to pave Palestine into an Amusement park. Don’t get this shit twisted.

Drop in the bucket, the issue is with zoning and how banks are apportioning debt and packaging home loans.

If we want home ownership to be available to the common person, and are unwilling to set a realistic national wage, we should just allow the Fed to issue home loans again and get rid of the middlemen all together.

They’re getting their kid a tax ID but no birth certificate. If that kid ever wants to go to public school it’ll be interesting how to get them enrolled. Fuck, or even for the kid to get a job.

I know what the parents want, I’m referring to how hard it’ll be for the child to reintegrate into society which is really difficult for them, especially when they turn 16 and have no records.

If you don’t have money for the newspaper announcement or the bible, you don’t have money to raise a kid without government assistance…

I was raised on Government cheese, I wouldn’t be here today without it.

You should dig up that tweet so we can all spam him with it. Papa Musk can’t save him from all of us

Huh, broken clocks and all that.

The more they try to keep Biden I think the better to be honest. Likely as not Republican-lite Biden will pick up more swing votes as this will likely signal support from the Right to voters that’re actually going to the polls and not political posters on outrage machines.

Yes, informed voters are less likely to vote against their own interests.

This is the whole point of school vouchers is it not? The rich have been angling for this since Nixon

I’m talking about the fact we only have two choices. First past the post. We should have ranked choice voting so a candidate cannot hijack their party like both candidates have.

This isn’t Nixon and Kennedy it’s Hitler (Trump) vs Chamberlain (Biden)

Understand the false dichotomy of choice that you’re in. Look at what France was just able to do, or what the UK finally did. The axiom of choice shouldn’t have to be binary.

Honestly for his region in Pennsylvania, he’s to the left still.
