Take em all off all the ballots.
I’d like to cast my vote for Chat GPT, but, like one of the significantly older, more janky versions. Hell, SmarterChild for President!
Can I vote for a sentient cloud of methane being released by already thawing permafrost?
No. That’s actually likely to happen. Quit putting shit like that out in the universe.
Are you saying that I can manifest my ideal gaseous leader by thinking about it?
Or were you unaware that last year in Alaska and BC, rivers were running a yellow color indicating the permafrost was already starting to melt?
…
Or is this all a setup for a fart joke, Mr or Ms or Mz fartographer?
No need to be so formal, you can use my regular title “The.”
Unfortunately, I’m all too aware of the horrible gasses, bacteria, and viruses in the permafrost that lay juuuuuust dormant enough that we’re about one snail’s fart away from potential catastrophe. Which is why, once again, I implore you: please do not vote for an uprising of that which lays beneath centuries and millennia of delicate ice. I’d hate to find out that we doomed ourselves via the Santa Claus/Last Unicorn effect.
Well you are in luck!
I am currently homeless, thus I do not have a permanent address, thus I cannot legally vote!
God Bless America.
I’m really sorry to hear that! I hope you get to enjoy a future as bright as you are and fuck these ecocentric policies
Cleverbot is my president
cluhVERbut
that’s my best attempt at how I remember cleverbot saying it’s own name
I’m voting for Trip and Grace from Façade
Just Grace. Its HER turn.
Melon!
Would be funny to literally not have a candidate on the ballot for either party and libs still insist you have to vote for unspecified faceless candidate a otherwise unspecified faceless candidate b will win.
This reminds me of when wrestling fans sing the praises of history’s most dominant wrestler, Vacant.
Thanks, I didn’t realize my dog Wavy Gravy had anything to do with that :)
Hello, Operator? I’d like to report a certified
momentPresidential elections should be decided the old fashioned way: shooting matches between warlords to determine who has the mandate of heaven.
political duels are so fucking funny. I need them back so bad dude
i’ll never forgive bernie for stopping that fight
It’d be hilarious if this became a common thing and our voting system became even more of a farce
This is what I’m hoping for actually. I saw where this was going the moment it started. After everyone started impeaching the other team, this is the only way this could have played out.
When do you think a state is going to try and pass a law dictating that only electoral votes for whatever party is in charge of the state count?
Not for a while. The machine works to do that basically already through disenfranchisement and gerrymandering. Just outright taking people off ballots will work instead.
I’m sure some chud legislator is writing a bill up as we speak.
Bill Clinton moment. That fuck sure isn’t worth defending, but what a farce of an impeachment reason/process. I’m just surprised it’s taken over 20 years to get to this stage, TBH.
DEMOCRACY
I remember seeing a post earlier about whether Hexbear thinks Trump or Biden wins 2024 but it seems no one predicted that there simply would not be a presidential election in 2024. At least if this keeps going
there’ll be two instead!
Antipresident Trump ruling from the new capital city of Mar-a-Lago.
when they said “the south will rise again” i didn’t expect an antipope
Antipresident trump can create a new state religion that is just conservative megachurch evangelical christianity with tradcath characteristics and appoint the recently removed texas archbishop guy as the head of it
Prosperity gospel, but in Latin.
This isnwhat actually is going to happen sometime in the next 2 decades with candidates are going to declare they won and the country is going to balkanize over it.
And I really don’t think it’ll be a civil war because there’s no defined fronts, it’d be all the cities being blockaded by all the surrounding rural areas.
The only thing that might prevent this from happening is if liberals say the republican president won with their compelling argument of “fuck you what’re you gonna fo about it” to move forward ad a nation and begin healing.
Isn’t that last paragraph basically describing the 2000 election?
Yea but it was a month long dog and pony show.
In the scanrio I’m suggesting it’s more like 2020 where any objective observer agrees Biden got the EC votes to win but 40% of the country just says “nuh uh” and dems still end up agreeing to give up.
But republicans are usually smart enough to give dems a boogeyman to point to and blame for their loss because they understand liberals ideal state of existence is losing while claiming a moral victory.
And I really don’t think it’ll be a civil war because there’s no defined fronts, it’d be all the cities being blockaded by all the surrounding rural areas.
Lol no. If some sheriff tries to enforce a blockade on a major metropole they would be told to stand down and then either arrested or shot. This is a direct threat to capital interests
Arrested or shot by who? I’d it gets to this point it’s gonna be the cops manning the barricades.
The Canadian truckers managed to fuck up commerce for like three weeks and they didn’t even know what they were mad about.
Yeah but that’s because the seal of civility still holds. Like they actually start starving people they are gonna get fuckin merced. Like let’s not fall into the trap that only hogs have guns, they may have more but not a monopoly, or numbers in their favor.
There is nothing I want more in this world to be true but if your hope is for the liberals to take up arms with the socialists and communists to violently oppose fascism history has a pretty depressing track record.
If it plays out like every other time it’s gotten to that point liberals will absolutely start giving up anybody the chuds deem as undesirables as a bargaining chip they’ll ultimately get nothing for.
But again I would like literally nothing more than to be wrong about this.
Oh no, I don’t see somecross class alliance. The fact is there is no significant organized socialist formation in the the usa for the libs to join with; like what an alliance with the cpusa? Lol. What I see is the conservatives basically forcing a conflict on unwilling libs. Now the question is whether that conflic would give what little left there is space to maneuver. I do think that the right would be crushed by the liberals in the long run. The liberals have a significant hold on the mic as well as the military, in addition to global finance capital and still significant domestic industrial capital. The hogs are really just focused in small regional industry and the extractive Industy.
The truckers were never a serious threat to capital, they were annoying and cost a lot of money. But the cost of bringing down the hammer on them was higher to the political class than the loss of money. A blockade of all the urban areas though? That’s war.
And sure cops are gonna be reactionary, but cops have tried to aide with states and municipalities against the federal government before and they have literally never won that fight.
PSL winds up being the only party represented in every state ballot following a spate of tit-for-tat removals of Trump and Biden across the whole country
PSL candidate receives protest votes from dems in each state Biden is excluded and vice versa
PSL candidate accidentally wins Florida
…
lolThis would be both funny and good, so it can’t happen
We’ll end up with some libertarian nutbar instead
Do we have any American equivalent of
… oh shit 
vermin supreme is the compromise candidate
He doesn’t appear to be running this time, unfortunately. 😢
Or, I guess, to know yet himself whether he is running? (https://vermin2024.com/)
But I guess with all the rest of these shenanigans, that, too, might not be an insurmountable obstacle. LOL.
He’s running in the Dem primary
Seriously? Last place I’d expect him, and he doesn’t seem to be advertising it. But okay. I guess it’s back on! LOL.
This was my prediction first. Do not steal!
Yes! Be the catalyst that slowly sends this nation into a state of balkanization! KEEP GOING!
balkanizeImagine being some dnc dipshit paid six or seven figures, and this unbelievably plain outcome didn’t occur to you
Still getting paid more than me despite being demonstrably dumber and picking the wrong fucking choice every time
Also I live in Texas, wasn’t voting for genocide Joe anyway
The Democrats fucking love to disprove the very meritocracy they claim to defend
The only thing stopping him, he said, was that people in Texas “believe in democracy.”
sorry fellas, stop the balkanization celebrations, the gop is just as lib brained as the libs
pog pog pog
give me a president/antipresident dynamic where the states are split in who they recognize. shatter the fabric of the nation
I propose an Avignon situation personally. Put a second president in Michigan or something, fuck it.
Here’s how Jeb! can still win:
please clap, those continents back together 😬
Well now we know who’s been causing the shit up in Iceland.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
We all knew that move in Colorado was going to open up a Pandora’s box. Let’s see if it’s one that won’t be closed.
Bleeding Colorado. Only rectangular states can start civil war.
Packing my bags, moving to Colorado with a replica of John Brown’s sword.
Come visit, friend. We’ve got more than swords ;)
I like how it says threaten. Fuckin do it bitch, you know it would be the only thing to get people off the couch and into the streets again. As much as we talk shit about the electoral system, taking Joe Biden off is pretty much the thing that will tell everyone in Texas that Greg abbot is basically the president of Texas, and everyone hates that guy. No more democracy, not even the illusion.
Yea this might even be so mask off that it would actually get liberals to realize rhe entire system is a sham and there’s no reas9n to put any faith in voting. but I’ve also said that a bunch of times before…
No, they’d just blame the one guy, or the Republicans at most.
It was the Russians
Just the MAGA republicans. Liz Cheney could fix this.
The balkanization has begun.
