It seems like there is a maximum level of failsons an empire can accumulate before it collapses.
RFK Jr is a third wave failson. Trump is a second wave failson.

Polls show her doing as well as Biden.
The thing that’s going to win this election for the democrats is abortion. Harris might be good on that aspect of the race.
It’s pretty disheartening. People had a better opinion of the economy when me and my friends could only get jobs that paid in experience for 5 years.
But in that case, even during the highest unemployment, most people still had their jobs so to them the only difference was things were cheaper, people were willing to do things for you for less money (or free of you’d tell your friends how helpful I was).
Lol, in that scenario picking a new VP requires confirmation from both house and Senate.
Do you think the house GOP would confirm anyone? Or keep the spot open and just have Speaker Johnson next in line?
How do we feel about a woman of color as president with the next in line being a christo-facist? What’s the presidential odds of assassination, 14%?
Many, many shitty scenarios. No clear answer as to what the right choice is and if we lose well always be second guessing what could’ve been.
Anyone telling you this is an easy choice, or is speaking with absolute confidence is full of shit.
If they were as freaked out by the democratic agenda as they say they are, they would never have made this ruling. It really shows that there is nothing to fear from the democrats.
If only he had been president for 4 years already or something, then we’d know
Yeah and I liked Justin Amash but 1 or 2 local Congress people do not define the party, definitely not enough that anyone should vote Trump because of them.
Canada getting PP too.
This will be a pretty critical 6 years to prepare for the climate apocalypse coming up, and we’ll all be going into it with the worst possible leaders imaginable.
Why is the former president and leader of the one of two political parties not the status quo?
Gore was status quo, but if he’d won we wouldn’t have had the war in Iraq.
Hilary was the status quo, but if she won we’d still have Roe v Wade.
If you vote republican, you will get the status quo with an added disaster or two mixed in.
Biden ended the war in Afghanistan after 20 years. You just don’t like that he sells military hardware to other countries, but that’s what every president, even Jimmy Carter, does.
Bernie had 4 years to shore up his weakness with black voters, the same issue he ran into against Hilary and didn’t.
Bernie could’ve offered Pete VP to stay in the race and continue splitting the centrist vote, but he didn’t.
In the timeline where Bernie won, and also beat Trump, we’d be dealing with progressives feeling betrayed that he inevitably did what ever other US president would do and sent weapons to Israel after Oct 7th.
It was like watching 9/11 all over again, Joe.
They will make a bunch of super cuts of Trump talking confidently and then Biden trailing off and getting confused. They will flood Facebook and Tiktok with them.
It was a terrible format. I thought the point of being able to mute them would to keep their answers on question but we got 3 minutes streams of consciousness where the guys rambled off as many of the talking points as they could before the timer ran out.
If Biden had been coached to provide very short, sweet, direct answers and not had an audible death rattle in his voice, he would’ve won.
The only realistic person who would replace Biden is Kamala Harris, and I don’t think people would vote for her.
They’re going to make a bunch of super cuts out of this and that’s all anyone will see one Facebook, twitter, instagram, and tiktok
I’m tapping out for my sanity
CNN wants it’s ratings cow back
The American empire is much larger than the territories Germany controlled.
If the US were to become fascist, it would likely influence South America, Western Europe, the Caribbean, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and other regions to follow suit.
