If George Clooney was the democratic nominee, he would have won easily.

[–] ntma@lemm.ee 1 points 39 minutes ago

Bro if I was the nominee, I would have won. No doubt about it. It would have been a landslide victory. It would look like the Reagan victory from his first term.

I am genuinely disgusted at how this could even happen like this. He got the popular vote? By 5 million?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 11 points 3 hours ago

Oh its worse then that.

Just winning would be bad, but with the popular vote that is a mandate.

Having a clear mandate would be very bad but the house/senate would both need to go red to be able to execute the sort of mandate promised. You know that thing that also happened.

It's going to take awhile to correctly process this

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to process the impacts of this when the work camps open up.

Many terrible things are coming, but my heart is aching for Ukraine this morning...

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 9 points 4 hours ago

And Gaza and Lebanon.

[–] PixellatedDave@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

My first thought was for Ukraine. I don't want to live in this timeline any more.

[–] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 29 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And Palestine. Shit is going to get uglier than it was already.

[–] Zenjal@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

I was thinkin, the funds an such were sending to Ukraine is gonna jus scribbled out an resent to Israel on 1/22/25

This is my biggest fear as well.

We in Europe need to focus on our own security and military future without being to dependant on our unstable partner overseas.
He won fair and square, which means that this was not just some fluke. It can and probably will happen again in the future.

If the GOP asks Ukraine to surrender what they have lost, I hope both Zelensky and we as Europe collectively give him a fat middle finger in return.
Russia must lose!

stolen election, fake news, time to throw a hissy fit and storm the capital and then blame the feds like a pussy… I mean is there any other way to handle this?

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Just need to convince the VP not to certify the results.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Easier. Write a executive order that bans convicted felons from the office if the conviction involved truthfulness.

It should be illegal anyway but it just isn't.

[–] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I mean felons can't vote, own a gun, or work in lots of jobs, I foresee a felon filing suit on job discrimination and winning. If a felon can be president is there really any reason they can't do anything else?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yep, weird double standard for certain.
