    This election is going to be so boring and awful

    HOW CAN THIS BE “DEMOCRACY” IF NOBODY WANTS THIS

      It's beyond a farce. I need to get santos pilled, start grifting libs for campaign money and send it all to hamas

      I cackle every time I hear Biden say "democracy is on the ballot" with him being historically unpopular and the DNC just cancelling primaries everywhere they can.

    I remembered when we were worried about a de Santis victory, when I still believed he was a competent fascist

    Currently 19 different states working to disqualify Trump from the ballot, although it appears that Sec State of California has refused to pull the trigger (shame, really, because that would have been funny af). He's potentially going to be excluded from Nevada because of filing deadlines (so, presumably, someone ratfucked him in the clerk's office). The South Carolina SC is deciding whether to keep him on the ballot right now.

    Cannot be overemphasized how fucked the Iowa Causus system is in practice, either. Just ask Bernie Sanders.

    It isn't inconceivable that enough dirty tricks get pulled to send the GOP to a contested convention. But if he's just allowed to compete in a heads-up contest, he wins in a landslide, yeah.
