If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?

Imagine the following scenario: On the 9th of January 2024 in the morning we wake up to news that President of the USA Joe Biden suffered a stroke and died in White House. The administration confirms that the death was entirely natural and no third party contributed to it. Even before the news reach all TV stations another one...

Not much would change.

Don’t discount the tears of joy from billions of people across every political spectrum

distantsounds OP ,

This isn't a guy who built the railroads

It’s possible, just not in an oligarchy

He’s literally the best president we’ve had in the past 40 years.

..and that’s when I stopped reading.

Obama 100% it ain’t even close, Jack.

He met the moment. I have plenty of gripes (ie not prog enough), but he was a solid leader for the country. Ironically, I think much of this MAGA shit is fallout from having a competent black man as president. AND he wanted to give you healthcare?! Half the country’s brains exploded trying to figure out how free healthcare could be a bad thing

distantsounds ,

History won’t look kindly on him. Now more than ever, everything is recorded, there’s way too many receipts to deny how bad he truly is. People are just in denial still. Hell, this is huge business on denying it. We’re seeing late-stage capitalism candidates. Fucking reboots and rage watching

Yeah, you should never film while driving…especially in snowy conditions…and definitely not with your arm out the window

It Will Be an Election Unlike Any We’ve Lived Through. Are the Democrats Prepared? ( newrepublic.com )

The animating concept behind the Trump campaign will be chaos. This is what history shows us fascists do when given the chance to participate in democratic political campaigns: They create chaos. They do it because chaos works to their advantage. They revel in it, because they can see how profoundly chaos unnerves...

The illusion of choice: vote for a senile old man or a senile old man that would consider turning minorities into Big Macs because he is hungry

distantsounds ,

the he’s better than Trump thing is worn out. Don’t worry I’ll vote for grandpa Joe, I mean, what choice do I have?

distantsounds ,

Nobody learned any lessons. If they did Trump wouldn’t have been elected let alone be allowed to run again after provoking an insurrection to stay in power. I want to see viable 3rd party challenges that can make for actual change in how this current system work. People need options that don’t completely suck

distantsounds ,

Don’t strawman the idea of 3rd party candidates. Just fall in line is not really a healthy mindset if change is desirable. Humans could never fly until they actually tried

Woo, isn’t this guy supposed to be a millionaire?

You know, as dean of the school, I gotta admit: F’s for Christmas—is fucking hilarious!

It’ll be quite a few Mozarts sacrificed because we’re busy funding the thousands of wanna-be Hitlers that were also created.

distantsounds ,

Maybe a demo should be just that; not a magic show. Normalizing deception for profit doesn’t seem like a healthy thing for anyone, but that’s only because I** didn’t own any stock in apple back then. Edit: Yes, I am still salty about the purchasing Starfield also

distantsounds ,

Obviously I wasn’t referring to you when I said everyone has become more insane

If I make it through the night, everything will be alright
But I’m lost in the sauce once again
