ObjectivityIncarnate

Both 2024 and 2016 were total punts by the Democratic party, elections that could have easily been won in large margins, but defeat pulled from the jaws of victory in a way that seemingly only they can.

People know if they live in battleground/swing states. And still, the fact is that despite Trump getting FEWER votes than last time (which is an election he LOST, by the way), he WON this time, simply because millions of blue voters in those key states decided they’d rather not vote at ALL, than vote for the Democrats’ candidate.

There is no excuse for the results of either of these elections, honestly. It’s fucking embarrassing.

If you truly believe that it is naive or ignorant to have a problem with any individual hoarding

Well, here’s an example of the ignorance I was referring to: no billionaire is “hoarding” anything. Their net worth comes from the value of their investments, investments into businesses that function within the economy. And investing into a business, and in turn owning a piece of it, is absolutely not “hoarding” that piece. To define it that way would be to define that owning anything equals “hoarding” it.

Ownership and hoarding are not the same thing. The fact that I have something you don’t doesn’t mean I’m “hoarding” it. That is a ridiculous notion.

so much wealth that they could solve just about any problem where money is the limitation

You have zero perspective on just how costly those problems are, nor the fact that there is almost no major problem that an injection of funds can fix all by itself.

The US government spends more each and every year than the net worth of every US billionaire combined. Over $1 trillion (which is ONE THOUSAND TIMES the amount of wealth that ‘qualifies’ someone as a billionaire) was spent last year on welfare programs alone.

It’s just not as much as you think it is, in the grand scheme of things.

I don’t think we can have a meaningful conversation.

Until you become more familiar with the facts of the matter, I definitely agree.

Billionaires should not exist.

You’re going to have to come to grips with the fact that there is always going to be someone with the most wealth. And in an economy that is constantly creating new wealth, the peak will also be constantly growing.

This is an incredibly naive and ignorant sentiment.

Total net worth of top 10 richest is ~$1.6 trillion: https://ceoworld.biz/2024/03/15/richest-people-in-the-united-states-2024/

That makes a net worth increase of $64 billion an increase of ~4%…which is the same amount the S&P 500 is up over the past few days.

“Stock market surges following Trump’s victory and billionares’ stocks go up the same amount as everyone else’s” just doesn’t make as good a headline, huh?

This is a big pile of nothing, nice job taking the clickbait and spreading it. The outrage farmers thank you.

Your last political act before Donald Trump got elected was fantasizing about him sucking dick.

That’s yours to live with, pervert. Forever. Enjoy.

I didn’t, and neither did my state.

Take responsibility for the distraction rhetoric you spread. You could have been talking about something meaningful instead of fantasizing about Donald Trump sucking dick.

But the latter is what you decided to do. For shame.

Never forget that part of the reason he won is because people like you focused on stupid bullshit like this instead of real things.

Hope you learn from this.

Welp.

The NYT needle for the popular vote is currently leaning toward Trump, what the fuck is going on? lol

Did this even merit a post? Few states are more obviously Dem than New York, lol. There was never the slightest question.

If you actually saw more than those two seconds, you’d know. But you’re gullible and he’s the Bad Guy, so you’ll believe anything negative about him, no matter how ridiculous.

Imagine being this insistent that a presidential candidate was pretending to suck dick during a rally speech. How much brainrot it takes to believe something so absurd, just because it gives you a reason to shit on the Bad Guy.

I pity you.

Do you truly, in your heart of hearts, believe that he was pretending to suck a dick during that speech? Just out of nowhere, nothing even close to that was being talked about, he just decided to do that?

Do you really, truly, believe that’s what happened? And also that THAT is your go-to example of him being a loser, of all things?

It’s maddening to see real time and effort given to nonsense like this, it should never be taking the place of mentioning the real heinous shit (plenty of it to choose from, by the way) he’s said and done.

I don’t have to speculate about what I “think” he’s doing, I actually saw the context directly. I know it might be a foreign concept to you, but I don’t just blindly accept without question what I see on social media. You may be content to be this gullible, but I’m not, and that’s a flaw on your part, not mine. Intellectual laziness.

He was talking about having problems with malfunctioning microphones, and was pantomiming messing with a mic and talking into it to see if it works. He did almost exactly the same thing with an actual dying mic in his hand not two minutes before this clip.

You’re only making yourself look like more of a pornsick coomer by insisting so hard that he, for no apparent reason, just decided to start pretending to suck a penis.

‘Come on, of course he’s pretending to suck dick at a random time during a public speech on a completely unrelated topic!’

Listen to yourself, for crying out loud.

Is this monumental straw-grasp really where your attention should be focused, this close to the election?

I like how even the tiny clip isn’t enough deception, so you also sped the clip up.

You just proved my point. Know that every moment you spend talking about stupid nothings like this, is time you’re not spending talking about his ACTUAL misdeeds.

E: and they respond with the same doctored clip, lol. Braindead.

Perverts have got a long history of thinking of sex acts whenever they see him open his mouth*

Fixed. Imagine looking at this and your first thought is “blowjob” https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bc04d81b-cb7b-40bb-b2a2-e41c86f37164.jpeg

I know furries who are less depraved than this, lol.

His campaign was already circling the drain at that point.

I like how no one questions a two second clip, and thoughts all immediately go to “blowjob”.

The kind of people who write and consume articles like these are the reason “TDS” gained momentum as a term.

You’re essentially bragging about shitting your pants in public.

lmao what kind of loser writes out detailed fantasies like this?
