Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.
The US shouldn’t have a convicted felon in the oval, but here we are.
Well, more than half of america voted for this, or allowed it to happen, so…
You are wrong. ~23% of Americans voted for Trump. The problem is that a shit ton of people sat out.
You just repeated what they said.

If they didn’t want it they would have voted.
Those people can either be classified as “don’t exist” because they actively wiped out their own influence, or “as bad as the Republicans”, because they were comfortable allowing it to happen, but they certainly CAN’T be classified as “magic absolution of the American public as a whole for this series of events.”
You knew they would not vote for only I am not the other guy, yet you jamned a status quo politician and platform down their throats. Not being popular, trying not to be popular. NOT offering any real reform, not calling out interests cheating us and promising to fix things.
You knew that was not enough, and or america did not know what republicans are, yet you shouted down calls for a new deal, deferred to ivy league party leaders.
So the fault lies with you, first and foremost, I bring it up because those same tools of donors still control the opposition, for perhaps our last chance to take the country back, in 2028, in the succession fight, before elections are fixed beyond recovery. And it already will be fixed your establishment types cannot take it back, and if they did would do nothing and hand it right back.
True, true… But you also can’t classify them as voting for trump.
Maybe it the comment should say said, “more than half of America didn’t vote against this”.
I don’t understand. Do you people not understand the words “or” and “allow”? Like, what the fuck.
I hate defending non-voters, but a large number of people are unable to vote or aren’t well informed enough to know what’s going on. In the former camp, there are lots of people who can’t get to the polls because voting day isn’t a holiday or because there aren’t enough polling locations in their area, or because they are sick, etc. etc. Most of the time politicians actively work to make it harder to vote.
Of course you can feel however you’d like about the latter camp, but being uninformed is also being encouraged. People are often undereducated. Some people just don’t consume news. I’d be willing to bet there are some people who didn’t know an election was going on and some who couldn’t name the president.
Fuck off. That’s not a fucking excuse at this point. A third of the population allowed this to happen. The end.
This is the exact sort of response I expected.
My point here is that there is a lot of class struggle that actively works to prevent individuals from voting. Putting the blame just on those people misses the mark and will not fix things.
Take one example. Some people get to make a choice. Take time off of work, stand in line for literal hours, and try to vote or feed their family today. Is the solution to blame the individual or to address how fucked up the system is that prevents them from voting?
Yes, there are idiots who could have voted, but didn’t. They deserve derision. But, if we don’t identify that voter suppression is real, if we place the responsibility on people entirely, we play directly into the hands of those who don’t want people voting.
Correct. Did i misspell ‘or allowed it to happen’?
No American voted to have their elections dismantled
He even said he would do this during the campaign. They absolutely voted for this and they deserve what they get.
BS. Anyone that voted for Trump in 2024 voted to have our elections dismantled. He was open about his intentions.

Tbf, his opponent happened to have a weird laugh!
/s
And lacked a penis how could she run the country. Their vwey emotional.
And she reservedly supported some bad policies that Trump supported whole-heartedly! They had to let Trump win to send a message!
Everyone single fuckhead looser that voted red voted for this. For fucks sake Trump even said at a rally for “Christian” votes if they would vote for him this time it would be the last time they had to vote.
No one who let this happen can say they didn’t have the choice to at least know about it and dismiss it
YES THEY DID. THAT IS WHAT THE GODDAMN WORD “VOTE” MEANS. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
Well, its in the history books now: more than half of them thought otherwise. I suppose you’re right in that apparently the other group dont love their country enough to get off their privileged asses to exercise their right to vote and therefore can’t be considered ‘american’ enuff for you. Oh well.
Yes, but voting for the other candidate wouldn’t have instantly solved all problems now and forever, so you might as well just let the blatant fascist win.
