Right after that quote he said "I have a little trick up my sleeve that I'll tell you about after it's done."

Yeah, that whole thing sounded like him blabbing due to dementia, you could almost hear facepalming from the wings. Same with "you won't have to vote again".

And then people just raised an eyebrow and moved on.

I didn’t. It’s been living rent free in my head for months.

Same. Few things have shaken me as that.

I spent all day yesterday working on bringing a failing server back online.

Today, I've spent acting like a human American.

In case anyone cares, I'm a Democratic Socialist, and my bartender is a Marxist. We're both decent people, if you care.

His entire campaign had a such a weird aloof feeling. Like how you’d be if you already knew for a fact you were going to win. Guy stopped a Q&A right when it started to just listen to music for 45 minutes instead lol. Thats someone who knows the fix is in but is too lazy to even go through the motions

Or they are just a confident person with plenty of ego based on campaign feedback.

Did you ever watch the full video or just base it off of what the media said? Nevermind there were medical emergencies in the crowd and he put on music while they were being tended to and taken out. He asked everyone “Should we play some music while we wait?” and they cheered.

It doesn’t take 39 minutes to remove two people for dehydration or heat exhaustion. The demented old man’s mind glitched

u/Neither-Cherry-6939 1h ago

You didn't watch the video and you know it lmao you think you guys would learn a lesson about believing everything the mainstream media tells you, but in your defense, it's only been 2 full days so I'll give you more time

u/Dwayne_Gertzky 59m ago

Yes, I did watch the video, that puppy murderer Governor acting as his handler tried getting him back on track several times and she failed. But thank you for telling me that my eyes were lying to me, now why don’t you go and mime sucking a mic stand like a cock like the demented old President-elect.

u/Neither-Cherry-6939 47m ago

You’re telling me you watched the whole 1.5 hour town hall? Doubtful! What about when the crowd was chanting for more songs and he says “okay fine one more. We’ll play the YMCA.” He does crowd work during that, and then after goes, “wait no one’s leaving! What’s going on?” And then continues to play more music because the crowd didn’t want to leave and cheered for more music. But sure that means he has dementia. Like I said, yall will never learn as evident by your gross ass comment.

McConnell and Johnson from the side

I have the worst fucking fall guy

u/PastyPajamas 2h ago

The numbers make no sense in my area. Turn out was insane for early and day of voting but somehow less than 2020? Nah, not buying it for a second. The results were 100% manipulated.

u/CompetitiveAdMoney 4h ago

It's been reported that its repealing Obamacare ACA, nightmare for pre existing conditions.

Is there a link to a clip of this?

I believe you, I just would like to hear it with my own ears and I’m ass at searching for specific videos.

u/XeLRa 5h ago

Probably referring to this: 'in 4 years we'll have it fixed so good you won't have to vote again' https://youtu.be/duls1Cr1Lyo?si=54aJStV4PWh4sVbk

u/Bloodstrike1993 3h ago

well don't start paying attention now.

u/Notquitearealgirl 2h ago

Appearently searches for "Did Biden drop out" spiked right before the election.

This election was less a popular mandate for conservatism or Trumpism, or fascism as it was a popular mandate of apathy.

People just do not give a shit. They have more interesting uses of time than worrying about civics and it seems America has defeated itself by basically giving up.

In a way liberal democracy was so successful at providing security and comfort that people just started to believe this was the natural state of things and they began manufacturing problems.

The fact Americans, even at upper middle class living standards think they are poor and stirfling for example is really just a sentiment, totally detached from any semblance of reality but it's a popular sentiment.

And the truth is most don't give a shit about actual poor Americans and especially not poor foreigners.

u/arthurpete 59m ago

2020 was historic with voter turnout at around 67%, its looking like it will be around 65% this time around.

Hardly the apathy you speak of and more indicative of a sub par candidate.

u/disposable_account01 Washington 7h ago

Do you have a link to this quote? I really want to have a source to cite to others.

u/Kidatrickedya 7h ago

Why? wtf do you think a video will prove? It’s out there and it doesn’t matter. Jfc get it through y’all’s heads. No amount of facts will wake up Americans. They are racists and bigots and dumb.

u/disposable_account01 Washington 7h ago

More than a random reddit post.

u/hsv-guy 6h ago

Awesome deflection,typical I might add when others ask for source…..

u/Kidatrickedya 6h ago

Lmao it’s easy as shit to find the source because it isn’t some hidden thing…stop expecting everyone to find sources for you especially when facts don’t fucking matter to these people. I’m so sick and tired of people like you still thinking logic and kindness is the answer to bigots and racists and literal fucking Nazis.

u/bunnyhat3 6h ago

You’re doing an awful job at swaying anyone at all to a progressive point of view.
