    It’ll be fun to watch him try to get his revenge from Riker’s.

        Yeah, being embarrassed is pretty much the best we can hope for, if he even registers that.

          He wont see it as an embarrassment. His ego tells him all press, good or bad still keeps him name in the headlines.

            Exactly. I expect he’s banking on losing the election, cause then he’d bring in infinitely more money but without all the hassle of pretending to do a job.

            Or at Least sees it as a win/win.

              I think that actually was his strategy in 2016 but things spiraled out of his own control.

    “A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November,” he said.

    It’s like a love letter to ozma.😉 Enjoying the chaos of today?

        I’m just messing around. Ozma said they love chaos the other day, and I suggested that is the reason they believe Trump will win in November. I respect Ozma’s honesty about their position, even if I don’t agree with their prediction. Biden’s quote was just too perfect to pass up.

      I completely disagree.

      The fact that he’s a fellon does not even make the completely saturated list of reasons Trump should never be president again.

      I think the USA is plenty flawed, but on this one I’d have to agree with them. Would be way to easy to disqualify your opponent (especially as an incumbent president) otherwise. You should be able to let voters disqualify your opponent on merit.

      If it’s illegal, then the ruling party starts throwing everything at their political opponents until something sticks, even if that was smoking pot once in college.

        Ranked choice voting. A system that is FAR better than our current system, but stands as a threat to our complacent two parties, and therefore will never become a realization.

          Shouldn’t you be able to get it in in at least some states via ballot measures, from where you can use it to send better people to DC to implement it federally?

            It’s already in some states. Alaska has implemented it I believe and Nevada passed the vote for it once but still needs to vote again this year on it to switch over.

        It’s not Biden lovers. It’s sheeple blindly subscribing to the Democratic Party. Could be any Democrat candidate and they’d be blindly loyal. Similar psychology to sports fans or Apple lovers. Their identity and self worth is tied to the Democratic Party.

        Not sure why anybody would downvote RCV tho, unless it’s just ignorance.

              Trump is willing to sell out the planet for 1 billion dollars from big oil to limit EV transition. Sorry I’m voting Biden again. This isn’t about competition it is about survival. We need to stop flogging a dead horse.

            It’s fear. Look at the downvotes. Nobody wants to be ostracized from their community. We all just want to be accepted. The Democratic Party flourishes through fear, guilt and peer pressure.

                Two sides of the same coin. Nobody here is saying republicans don’t run on fear but people don’t want to admit dems are the same.
