What’s funniest to me is seeing all these posts having downvotes.
Conservatives mad and their tears are delicious.
Schadenfreude has never felt so good.
Felonies, gotta catch 'em all

Or they read it as throwing shade on Biden for being nothing but “Not trump”
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Which would be fair. The shade for running on being the least bad option twice, not the downvotes.

It’s not conservatives. Conservatives aren’t on Lemmy.
It’s the majority of Democrats who now believe Israel is committing genocide. And who can’t afford housing or groceries
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
I’m not saying it’s not those people, they’re definitely a large part of it.
But conservatives are definitely on Lemmy. Just try talking about minority rights anywhere and watch them seep out of the cracks in the pavement to suck all of your energy out.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Plenty of people here who think Palestinians aren’t being genocided.
They still definitely are being genocided through ethnic cleansing almost like what happened to the jews during the holocaust.
But there’s plenty of people on lemmy that believe this isn’t happening and fully support giving Israel all the weapons they want.

Not as many as I thought I’d get tho, they must be too busy finishing their collage of trump for the next rally.

One is a convicted felon, 34 times over, and there is more on the way. The other has never been suspected of any criminal act.

So many idiots can’t figure out who’s really rigging the game against them, even when it’s staring them in the face, blasting them with racist and fascist language and actions, with the breath of chronic bad health habits and the smell of soiled diaper.

Funny how the republicans did their best to start investigations and all they came up with is that his crack head son was bad, which everybody already knew. Good thing I’m not voting for hunter biden.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I’d vote for Hunter Biden if he was running against Trump. Sure he’d be a terrible President, but still better than Trump.

Don’t forget found liable for rape too. Imo worse than his felony charges.

is that the terminology because of a civil case?
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
Idk, he’s sponsoring a genocide. I’m pretty sure that counts as war crimes. To be fair it’s not like any US president in the last half century hasn’t been some kind of war criminal.
I mean now that the other guy is a literal criminal it makes it less likely that the genocide sponsor’s refusal to remove his material support for a historically unpopular genocide will make him lose election to the literal criminal, and that’s true. But like, I just want you to understand what it is that you’re celebrating.
I don’t know a stronger way to say that the bar is in hell, but that phrase is so well worn that it’s lost any punch it ever had.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 months ago
The other guy, the one with 34 felonies, has said he’d help expand the genocide.
How do you miss these things?
SalutaryFilth@r.nf 6 months ago
I don’t believe it’s as unpopular as you think. The one-state (final) solution has been the only acceptable answer for decades, and everyone turned a blind eye to turning Gaza into a prison while “settlers” terraform the West Bank.
The other guy moved his embassy to disputed territory, firmly claiming the whole of Jerusalem for one side. “Their 911” plays a huge part in maufacturing consent in casual observers, and “never again” was always tongue-in-cheek.
Honestly, does anyone still care about the enslavement and cultural destruction of Chinese Uyghurs? How about the Rohingya genocide?
This election comes down to narcissistic boomers who believe the world should die with them. Their pop religion tells them armageddon will happen in their lifetime and the other guy is offering a way to make it happen.
Life has been objectively getting worse for years. The end of the world (or at least the american experiment) is on the ballot - the question is whether enough voters want to burn it all down.

It’ll just get commuted to 1 civil penalty with a $3.50 fine as soon as people stop paying attention.

Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.

No crimes but war crimes

I’d vote for a convicted felon. Fuck, I almost was one.
Now, a pedophilic misogynistic cheeto? Nah, I’ll take the sleepy dude.
AsherahTheEnd@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This is why memes such as this are shitty. It throws convicted felons into the pill of just “bad people” and doesn’t think anything of it.
KillingAndKindess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Agreed. Nuance and meme rarely play well together though, so my expectations don’t have me up in arms over it.
Zink@programming.dev 6 months ago
That kind of crap is how conservatives see people (in my experience), so it’s a little bit funny to see that reasoning turned against their ridiculous hero.
Maalus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Convicted felons are by definition bad people cause they commited a felony.

I like presidents who aren’t corrupt octogenarians.
Signtist@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Yeah. Obviously if a candidate is a criminal that should invalidates them in the eyes of any sane voter, but really the bar should be a lot higher for anyone to be happy with their choice. The real motivation shouldn’t be to vote for the lesser of 2 evils and call it good enough, it should be to literally fight back against corruption until we have options we actually like.

I think what's wild is that particular group's incredible thought process of "oh yeah, the current guy is just doing a hit job on this other guy because he's running for President. He's sending all these various agencies after him. blah blah blah..."
And I'm just like. Or you know, simple answer is that guy is doing crime stuff and ought not to be doing crime stuff. To really over simplify the most recent crime stuff. The crime was he wrote the wrong thing on the sheet of paper. You look at the paper, it says it's for lawyer stuff. You look at the receipts shows the money went to hide sex stuff. Lawyer stuff ≠ hide sex stuff. Ta-da!
And a bit more detail. The whole argument that hiding sex stuff wasn't political money. Literally a letter between crime guy and other person handling political stuff was, we need to hide this sex stuff otherwise that could hurt us in election stuff. Like I get it that there's some folks wanting to believe that President guy is just mad at crime guy and wants to whatever him so that President guy can stay in office. But crime guy literally admitted crime stuff in letters he thought no one else would ever read. Crime guy is not a very smart crime guy.
I don't like current guy, don't get me wrong. But crime guy is an idiot. I just don't want an idiot back as President. There's just way too many people hitched to an idiot here and willing to go down with the ship. Crime guy is an idiot and he's getting smacked with a lot of the crime shit he's done because he's an idiot. There's not any other way to slice this. Crime guy is just not good at anything and is coasting on mom and dad money still. If anything, that Crime guy is still floating on some money is a testament to Crime guy's book keeper.

Please explain to a non American, why a convicted felon not in federal prison but instead running for president?
Rekonok@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Orange man is litteraly a russian asset and it should be enough to jail him…
But to answer on a theorical level you cannot prevent felons from politic in a democratic society, otherwise you just throw accusations at your opponent to win elections and sadly it happen in a lot of places

He hasn’t been sentenced yet and won’t be for months. Its possible that he won’t be sentenced untilafter the election. He’s also been indicted for paying the porn star, Stormy Daniels, hush money.
So, out-of-context, its just another rich dude doing money crime in the US. Its not like he’s been convicted of being a russian asset or doibg war crimes. Convention is to give him a slap on the wrist. But external political pressures and him being a unique dumbass to the judge will probably result in a tougher sentencing. But I doubt there will be any prison time, even white collar.
Also you cans still run for president from prison. Eugene V. Debs ran as the Socialist Party candidate while jailed for sedition during WWI.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 6 months ago
will be sentenced on July 11th.
the crime is election fraud - money was just the method he used to do it.

On one side I have an old catholic bum who overall doesn’t do much on the other I have a convicted felon who wishes to remove my human rights and wants to turn the country into a dictatorship.
As a centrist, I’m undecided…
meep_launcher@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Also from my interactions on here:
On one side I have an old catholic bum who is committing genocide (by allowing companies to sell to a man who is committing genocide), and in the other side I have a convicted felon who would absolutely continue the genocide while removing my human rights and wants to turn the country into a dictatorship.
As a leftist, I’m not voting.

I like Joe. He did infrastructure and the chips act. He’s a meat and potatoes guy. But his best attribute will always be not being Donald Trump.

Fun fact: 10% of Americans will vote for a guy that had his brain eaten by a worm. Just look at five thirty eight
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
Absolutely, but at a certain point people have got to accept that if the best strategic choice they have is still complicit with genocide, then they need to make that strategic choice (libs: I am saying vote for Biden, get the fuck off my back about it) and then work to build an alternative.
If they aren’t working against the system, and they get pissy every time someone mentions the genocide because it might hurt their better strategic choice, then they are doing genocide denial. Maybe they’re not saying the genocide isn’t happening, they’re just saying people shouldn’t keep bringing it up when it’s inconvenient for them. Denying that people should talk about genocide is a kind of genocide denial. If the better option can’t survive without genocide denial then maybe the problem isn’t the people talking about genocide but the better strategic option being complicit in genocide.
Maybe the problem is a political system that keeps putting genociders in power.

He also didn’t cause inflation or invade hamas or start a war in Afghanistan or any of the other things he was blamed for.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Now that you mention it, both of the last two Republican presidents signed off on huge bailouts and then blamed the inflation on their Democrat successor. Nixon would be proud!
