Presidential Election
What has happened to the process of electing the president of the United States? There was a time not all that long ago when well known and established politicians announced that they were running for the office. They campaigned they debated they ran in primaries and eventually one of them came out on top, this used to be decided at the big convention. I get that Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee for the Republicans he is very popular. However for the life of me I do not get how Joe Biden was more or less handed the nomination. He was a poor candidate 40 years ago, again 4 years ago and yet again in 2024. There was a time in this country when the voters saw through the losers, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis were thoroughly trounced lucky to have carried their home states. Joe Biden should have done no better in 2020.
And now Joe has stepped down and a person who had absolutely no support in her bid for the presidency in 2020 has in the matter of less than week been anointed the democrat nominee. And furthermore it has been declared that she has the delegates to get the nomination. Who chose her? It certainly was not the people we know how well she did four years ago. She became the VP based on two qualifications, ethnicity and sex. In nearly four years she has done nothing to elevate herself to the level of leader of the free world. Who has been running the United States the past four years? Certainly not Joe Biden and if Harris is elected it won’t be her either.

Bro...
...do you even internet?
Seriously?
I feel like your entire post was a combination of two elements:
1) A rhetorical question that wasn't actually seeking a response.
2) An expert, PHD level troll meant to drag under-bridge-residents like me into the open to see what I'd post about your rhetorical question.
Nicely done on both counts.
Nicely done indeed.
So, allow me to retort:
What has happened to the process of electing the president of the United States?
We don't actually elect a president. We "select" one from an approved list after that list is scrubbed by a third party organization that conducts fundraising to support its activities. As it is, the DNC makes up their rules as they go. So does the RNC for that matter. Those committees are businesses in business to advance party messaging and narratives - their process is simple - advance the party.
There was a time not all that long ago when well known and established politicians announced that they were running for the office. They campaigned they debated they ran in primaries and eventually one of them came out on top, this used to be decided at the big convention. I get that Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee for the Republicans he is very popular. However for the life of me I do not get how Joe Biden was more or less handed the nomination. He was a poor candidate 40 years ago, again 4 years ago and yet again in 2024. There was a time in this country when the voters saw through the losers, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale and Michael Bukake were thoroughly trounced lucky to have carried their home states. Joe Biden should have done no better in 2020.
There was no "widespread" election fraud. CNN, MSNBC, and ALL of the political opponents and talking head repeatedly admitted as much.
THERE WAS NO WIDESPREAD ELECTION FRAUD.
...nor was there a need for widespread fraud - they only needed to push it in a few key counties in a few key states to reach their goal.
"Aim small miss small" you might say.
And now Joe has stepped down and a person who had absolutely no support in her bid for the presidency in 2020 has in the matter of less than week been anointed the democrat nominee. And furthermore it has been declared that she has the delegates to get the nomination. Who chose her?
C'mon man, the DNC chose her.
Give me something harder - that one was a softball.
It certainly was not the people we know how well she did four years ago. (true, and mother fuck those peasants) She became the VP based on two qualifications, ethnicity and sex. In nearly four years she has done nothing to elevate herself to the level of leader of the free world.
It seems like you are trying to shine a spot light on a bit of performance art that is already being done in broad daylight under a bright and sunny sky.
...moving on
Who has been running the United States the past four years? Certainly not Joe Biden and if Harris is elected it won’t be her either.
I feel like you answered that one before I had a chance to respond...
Certainly not Joe Biden and if Harris is elected it won’t be her either.
THIS is what "We the People" have been asking for since the day Bill Clinton donned his Ray-Ban Wayfarers and wowed us with his saxophone rendition of "Heartbreak Hotel" on the Arsenio Hall Show.
Everyone knew the democratic party had long since become the party of misguided socialists but nobody seemed to care. Everyone knew it THEN and everyone knows it NOW - think back...
that fucking Blue M&M with the shit eating grin and the dark sunglasses...
...thats just Bill Clinton being worshiped by the masses
...that mother fucking saxophone playing raisin - you guessed it, BILL CLINTON
We have only gotten worse - hell, his wife had every fucking performance artist she could drag up putting on "free concerts" to soothe the masses.
Because they know we are blinded by fame and fortune. Our inability to tell a few communist sympathizers to sit down and shut the fuck up have put us in this predicament and nobody wants to admit it.
Well folks - the sad truth is that we have slipped into an alternative reality.
A world full of people like John Bubber and Bernie LaPlante (google that shit if you dont get the reference).
We can't figure out who the heroes in this world really are - and very few of us are even interested in learning the truth anymore.
Even fewer still are willing to walk through fire or step into the lions den when shit gets real.
"We the People" have been addicted to degenerate celebrities for a few generations now - its what we asked for - now we just want to act pissed off that all we have left to show for it is a big pile of fucking peas to eat.
Well mother fuckers - when someone tells you who they are - BELIEVE THEM.
...that is all

Joe ain't leaving office till his share of the campaign chest clears the bank.
Dr. Jill and Hunter will see to that.

Box is spot-on. First, we are NOT a democracy. A LOT of folks do NOT understand that. We are a Constitutional Republic.
Second, we do NOT vote for the President. We actually vote for a set of electors that is supposedly "bound" to take our intentions and vote for the actual President after the general election. Great article some years back titled something like "The case of the faithless electors." That article puts the persecution of trump square into the spotlight as being unconstitutional for the alleged shenanigans of the last election.
Third, the DNC does NOT play by any recognized rule book. They make shit up, they lie, they cheat, they steal. Look at what they did to Bernie Sanders when her Thighness, Chillery, stepped into the ring for her anointment. They are a mash-mash of constituencies and James Clyburne is directly responsible for the mess we are in right now. To get the black vote, he insisted that Kamala be on the Biden ticket in 2020. The DNC put her on the ticket, told Bi-Dumb to STFU and eat his peas, and Clyburne delivered the stupid black vote like sheep walking into the slaughterhouse. The race hustlers in the black caucus have done tremendous damage to the country and race relations as a whole. The black vote is too stupid, and too controlled to realize they are being played. In the words of "Charlemagne The God: Nigga, wake up." Unfortunately, he is a race hustler too stupid to understand he is being played by his white overlords. Democrats hate them some uppity blacks who deign to stray from the plantation. That's why intellectuals like Carson, Thomas, Sowell, etc. scare them.
The DNC is as corrupt and conniving as the RNC is feckless.

^^ This. And Clyburn was in my state 3 weeks ago during his round robin trip to organize the ballot-harvesting ground game in 3 key counties. He doesn't care what name is on; he has his mechanism in place. C'mon man, no joke. He bragged about it. Other 'swing' states, rinse/repeat.

I'm not so sure about that, the 17th Amendment effectively ended the Republic by taking away the states' voices. AZ has had a long history of Republican Legislatures, but the people have elected either RINO or Democrat senators. None of them would have been appointed or elected by our Legislature or they would have been recalled if they acted in opposition to the Legislature.

“Elections” are the curtain
Elections are a façade. The government flunkies are the mouthpieces and enforcers. Choice at a ballot box is an illusion.
The only real powers in the US reside with commerce. People vote with their dollars. Businesses (the ones who make and sell things / services) are in total control of the mechanisms (“government”) to keep prices low and supply up.
The rest is just smoke and mirrors designed to by the businesses to keep costs low and shelves full while the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB are on their TV’s.
Politics is a spectator sport.

Vice president Harris wants to be President Harris and the leader of the free world yet she chose to miss this Address of the leader of the only democracy in that region, to a joint session of Congress …. what a glaring vacuum of leadership…

She's quite possibly the only one capable of being a worst pResident than Biden.

Ronald Reagan: A Time for Choosing Speech, October 27, 1964
We were warned.
Change a few names, update some numbers and events.. would make an excellent speech in support of President Trump

You left out the Bushes. They're full members of the UniParty.

The Bush family has circled their wagons in Midland, Texas, with the oil companies.
The Trump family ended the Bush Reich.
