In a Presidential system, constitutional crises are inevitable without everyone agreeing to make it work. France is having an active crisis right now.

I think verge is too generous.

Maybe constantly telling everyone how awful Hillary is wasn’t a great winning strategy

mourn-the-weenie.bsky.social•60 days ago

Any one of those could've been a bullet

The truth is that too many of the American people didn't give a shit.

Oh but she wasn’t left enough on Gaza!!!!! Can’t vote for THAT! (Meanwhile trump’s going to make Gaza into a seaside resort.)

mister-sterling.bsky.social•61 days ago

Gaza mattered to voters. And Biden let Israel kill over 100,000 civilians. We can't deny this.

professorg.bsky.social•61 days ago

I mean Harris was not Biden, but you know whatever, we’ll have plenty of time to hash this out when we’re all in the gulag together.

ohiohawkeye.bsky.social•61 days ago

That.. sounds about right.

Shoutout to the 100M Libs who couldn't be bothered to vote.

ohiohawkeye.bsky.social•61 days ago

They can burn in hell to be sure.

I seriously doubt the argument is "Biden Gaza policy good".

janelliotte.bsky.social•60 days ago

You left out "with toxic sacred cows"

inclinedplane.bsky.social•60 days ago

Sometimes I don't keep up with the latest trends in jargon, is "verge" a new synonymn for "eyeballs deep into"?

norm1142.bsky.social•61 days ago

Way past the verge, it’s here now

You’re the most prosperous, resource-rich country in history and you are about to go bankrupt because your electorate prefers spectacle to seriousness and obvious lies to basic truths.

Neil Postman’s 1985 book Amusing Ourselves to Death is looking more and more prescient every day

Most notably in an election.

Most notably not arresting this pud in January 21, putting him in the tombs, and losing the paperwork.

captainahab.bsky.social•61 days ago

several elections including several primaries

On my way to a diner in Wisconsin to talk to some people and figure out why.

scohoe.bsky.social•61 days ago

literally in the constitution barring him from running.

But if you capture the courts then those rules don't matter, who knew?

smullins3000.bsky.social•60 days ago

They did.

Everyone failed the Trolley Problem.

rollforphobia.bsky.social•61 days ago

The trolley has fully functional brakes but the conductor has an ideological commitment to never braking or even lying about braking.

dommedeluise.bsky.social•61 days ago

some of the most vile people on the face of the earth would've been a little sad tho, they're potential voters yknow :/
