    • Third-party fringe candidate who gets less than 1% of the vote

    • President of the United States, who got over 51% of the vote

    God damn, who is going to have more influence over national policy I wonder?

    Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other

    The SCOTUS recently decided a president can’t be held liable for acts committed in official capacity as a means of shielding the Cheeto-in-Chief from any and all criminal liabilities. It appears some folks on Lemmy are piling on board with this reasoning, so long as they can use it to shield Genocide Joe. A democrat could shoot a man on fifth avenue in broad daylight, and you’d see people on here defend it.

              Quick, someone said “irony” and nobody knows what that is! I’ll vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore I won the debate.

                Happens more often than you’d like to think.

                  You mean the bit where you vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore won the debate? Maybe you should stop doing that and people will downvote you less.

                    you vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary

                    I guess I’m so old that I assume Merriam-Webster is unspoken default. Do you have a different dictionary that you prefer?

      Funny that you took that 5th avenue example right from your dear leader talking about his followers, you.

        Why do you people assume history started in 2016? That saying is over a century old.

          I would need a source on that, my search shows blank.

          It doesn’t matter though, since it’s still ironic that you say it now as an argument when your dear leader has said it about you, and your comments just prove that he was right and that you don’t care about facts, but are deep into the cult and would do everything for him.

          Classic projection, but quite the dumb approach.

            Going with the “I’m rubber and you’re glue” defense.
