@randahl they could also start doing marches on Tuesday evenings or something so they are ready to protest in case there are no elections in the fall

@rasmus91 @andre123 @randahl Don't despair. In real politics, you have to do the misdeed for it to count.

Personally I hope he lives till he's 120.

@randahl , blad, blad, blah…and why are these sycophants always there, standing like garden gnomes in the background? It’s just horrible to watch. Question is: why do US voters put up with this BS?

@randahl I'll be voting like my life depends on it, but I'm really worried that the Rs are going to do everything possible to disrupt the results. Even going as far as not seating Ds that win. In the end, I find it difficult to believe that the Rs will have gone this far and set this many precedents to just "let" the Ds win the next election. They won't allow it by any means necessary.

@andre123 @randahl the worse the results the more violent his tantrum will be. He’ll start arresting governors that let “fraudulent “ results stand. He still has power for two months after he loses and knows he will never get it back if he lets go.

It’s a combination of circumstances that led to this and I am guilty as well. For myself, if neither candidate appeals to me, I don’t vote and I imagine I am not alone. We didn’t choose the lesser of two evils(Kamala) because we didn’t think we had to, never in our lives did we think we would elect a convicted felon, sexual predator and insurrectionist. What we didn’t realize is that there are many stupid people in this country who would.

@dademurphy

Kamala was not evil, sorry, but you're going to have to find another excuse.

[hakeemg@mastodon.social]

@passwordsarehard4 @andre123 @randahl

No he won't, people keep claiming he's some kind of super thug, so far his biggest win have come through elections.

@dademurphy Your action (or lack thereof) gave their votes more power than they should have. I'm not sure if you can call them stupid.

@randahl On the morning of 14 May 2026, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics quietly released a filing that detonated like a slow-motion bomb across Washington. One hundred and thirteen pages. A cumulative value estimated between USD 220 million and USD 750 million. And at the centre of it all: the name of the sitting President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

@randahl The midterm elections really are [another] chance for US voters to [realize that their gullible belief that this was ever a democracy is precisely how we end up with fascism].
