    Holy shit, is the US justice system so incompetent that Trump is not in prison in 2024?

      homie thinks it’s “incompetent” and not “working exactly as intended and designed by the political elites” 😂

      Fun Fact: being in prison is not a disqualifying factor when running for president! He theoretically could still run and win while in jail.

        Well, if a country is retarded enough to vote in a prisoner, the country deserves the downfall, don’t you think.

      They show up to primaries.

      Great candidates don’t just magically show up for general elections. I’ve watched them lose, time and again bc no one supports them when and where it counts.

        The problem isn’t that “no one” supports them, it’s that the system disallows more than two possibilities at a time. That the main sources of those two possibilities have a stranglehold on the elective process.

        It doesn’t help that people often see the presidential election as the only one that matters. Other candidates generally have a much better chance at state and local levels. Which is generally where that elective power is seated. Take that power and suddenly your options increase dramatically.

          You aren’t wrong, but the time to fix these problems isn’t the presidential election. Ya it sucks our options aren’t ideal, but pick the better option when that’s the only choice you have, and when it’s not decision time fight to change the decision making system.

        Primaries get one quarter of the turnout that general elections get. The folks that vote in primaries are the ones who push us to extreme right wing candidates. It’s a fucking shame. People who don’t vote in primaries honestly lose their opinion to bitch
