Good point....we have to get Trump out of the Presidency to save our country.

Yes!

Also we must remove the vast number of Obstructionist republican fascists who are owned by the wealthy and their corporations wholesale!!!

They do not care about life only power and profit, they use religion as wedge against those who they considered their enemy, that is all of us who do not drink their kool aid!!!

@of-the-mountain That is the spirit! In order for our candidates to freely move toward progress - those blocking it must be voted out! It’s time we stop shooting at each other and focus on the real enemy

Excellent answer @of-the-mountain

The country does indeed need saving. So why did they select the candidate least capable of saving it?

@MissKathleen

I don't think Biden is a threat to their power. He is status quo Joe.

The only thing he is a threat to is medicare and social security. And young women if left alone with him.

They didn’t - ‘they selected trump.’ And if you’d like more of the same - keep at it ~

@Varn

That's true. By selecting Biden as nominee, the party has chosen to allow Trump to win again.

@RoboGraham The ‘party?’ What party? You freely interchange Party for Country. The country gave us trump - my party gave us Hillary Clinton. It’s now given us Joe Biden. What the country gives us will be it’s choice.

@Varn

You misunderstood what I said.

The meme says that the country needs saving. it does, so I said so. Then I asked why the party chose the candidate least able to do so.

Why would you think I'm referring to Trump when clearly the meme is about the person selected to go against Trump?

@RoboGraham I think you’re arguing with yourself 😉 ..I can’t help you there ~

@Varn

I think you're dazed and confused. 😵

The choices are just that choices!!!

Hopefully one might actually Realize this will be a real overt change, they are both owned by the same wealthy and their corporations!!!

Either way we are hoping for too much!!!

It will takes years to reverse what these Obstructionist republican fascist have done to this country for the last fifty years!!!

You can not save what you have lost!!!

Yes, unfortunately. The lesser of two evils.

For sure!!!

For sure!!!

Why is it, that in a country of 327.2 million people, the vast majority of who are eligible to stand for office the choice seems to always comes down to two lying, rich, dubious, spurious and seemingly corrupt, moronic arseholes?
Are these really the best you have to offer your people?

If we had a functioning democracy, the two corrupt morons currently on offer wouldn't have made the top million in selection. They are the result of oligarchy.

Unfortunately, unlike our countries where the campaign costs are refunded, in the US you either need to be a multimillionaire to fund your campaign or accept a lot of conditional donations which will leave you obligated to vested interests (such as the NRA). Their system is set up such that only the rich can rule or the rich control those that appear to rule.

@MissKathleen No we have our share of upper class nerks, but none wield any thing near the sort of unaccountable power your president does, the election of a prime minister is not done by the people but by the party that holds the greatest amount of seats in parliament as voted for by the people of individual constituency.
The main problem is the first past the post system of counting, which is almost but not quite as stupid as the electoral college, and should be replaced by proportional representation in both countries.

@Cyklone Also in our country campaign spending is strictly limited and in theory over spending on a campaign is a criminal offence.
(That said it did us little good in the referendum where both sides grossly over spent and both should have been prosecuted, but neither prefered charges as that would in effect of been putting their own neck in the same noose. Corruption to the corrupt is fair.)

Colleged to be a cop (police officer), it was occasionally pointed out that, to take on the bad guys - you had to fight like they do.

Purists naively point at the ‘similarities.’ The fact is, the bad guys have won often enough to have tweaked the rules of engagement.

We’re dealing with a diverse nation, and can only move as fast as the mass is capable.

Voter suppression comes in many forms, one is to foster apathy. Sadly, it’s worked well for those in power - true power, our Industrialists. And, it continues, with paid provocateurs, russian bots, and the chronically confused..

The other side? The bad guys? They simply promote a hot-button issue (god, guns or gays) - and their religious march to off to vote (on a dark, cold early-winter day) … while the ‘enlightened purists’ either don’t - or toss their vote to an insignificant nobody on the ballot for ego alone..

Broken down by party: Democrats are scattered; Republican are militaristic. Significantly scattered, one loses; significantly inspired (if by hate, prejudice & fear) the other wins. Now is the time for us to unite, or die ~
