Honestly, I’m not sure if the Republicans would settle for just pushing to end the electoral college like the Democratic base already does. Especially considering this chain of events would result in Democrats suddenly vigorously supporting the electoral college.

Like, I’d expect another Jan 6 but bigger. That said, it remains to be seen whether “Jan 6 but bigger” is anything but “Jan 6 but funnier”

In 2020, Biden’s eyeball exploded and filled up with blood during a primary debate, and he called Bernie Mr. President multiple times. No one gave a shit but chuds and Bernie supporters. It seems like the lib media was just willfully ignorant about this shit until now, Biden must be even worse off behind closed doors, otherwise I’m not sure why the debate would change things quite this much.

By far the scariest things humans have ever made on purpose. Can you imagine a world history where somehow nukes are easier to make and invented far sooner?

Anyone remember that movie Elysium where Matt Damon is this working class dude on future Earth (which is basically Palestine but they speak Spanish) and all the rich people are on this giant spinning ring space station called Elysium but is actually Israel?

Well anyway this made me think of that scene where he’s working at the robot factory and the door to an industrial robot radiation sanitizing oven is blocked by cargo. His asshole manager makes him go in the oven to dislodge the door against safety protocol. The moment he gets the door unstuck it snaps shut, the oven door locks, and the radiation alarm sounds as the oven floods the chamber and Matt Damon with ionizing radiation. His coworkers desperately try to pry the door open to no avail.

He wakes up later in a hospital bed, fired from his job. An automated robot doctor prescribes him anti-emetics for nausea and tells him he’s been exposed to a lethal dose of radiation and has weeks to live. Then he’s discharged from the hospital. That’s it, no help, assistance or care from that point forward. He must illegally use a robotic exoskeleton to smuggle himself onto Elysium to try to gain access to one of their magic healing pods.

Oh shit, great idea. I’d like to merge r/pharmacy and r/medicine with r/ADHD and r/ChronicPain. Just for the legendary dunkings the latter two would wrought on the former two.

It does give us a guess at how the popular vote might look, though. I can’t really imagine a situation where the Republicans are the ones to take a popular vote win and an electoral college loss.

federal judge appointments alone are worth far more.

The supreme court will be a rotting. decrepit institution brutalizing working class people for decades to come, Biden and the Democratic party steadfastly refuse to stack the court and thereby offset justices put in place by Trump. They legitimize his legacy at every single turn and still expect us to believe they oppose anything about Trump but his aesthetic. Day by day the Democratic party inches ever closer to being the Republican party from a couple years ago, yet it still has the gall to say at least they aren’t the Republicans.

I’ve legitimately seen people say this as a reason to vote for Biden

Yeah that’s kind of a bizarre take to have because it’s explicitly saying you’d prefer Biden’s unelected gang of advisors over Trump’s unelected gang of advisors. Maybe the president the individual can be convinced to support good things every once in a while if enough people get him on a good mood on a topic he has an emotional connection to. But you certainly can’t push the executive branch as a whole in any way shape or form.

You’d think people would be accusing us of wanting a senile president. After all, is it not better for the rest of the world if the president of the great satan can’t remember what he was talking about 10 minutes ago?

Or is it an admission that who the president is doesn’t actually fucking matter if Biden can still be elected?
