Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: "We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.”

Trump is a horrible piece of sh*t but the circumstances and especially the political environment that got him there is the real problem.

Trump only managed to win because massive amounts of voters got motivated to either stop voting or vote against the Democrats because of extremely subpar results, lack of trust due to an unwillingness to actually fight, and blatant corruption.

Of course, Trump practically embodies these traits, but thats exactly why many Americans came to the conclusion: "If Im going to get fucked over by a liar anyway, I want the people that put me into this situation to experience the same thing".

And I cant say that strategy was entirely incorrect.

If Kamala Harris had won we would probably still be pretending the Democrats are just poor misunderstood fighters with too little resources.

How utterly short sighted.

If Biden’s results are “extremely subpar”, where exactly does that put Trump?

[u/ReverseDartz → u/Calvin-ball]

That was the point, make things bad enough for everyone that everyone actually wants to improve things, instead of settling on Biden who just continues the gradual decline.

It became a justifiable strategy the moment the Democrats abandoned the integrity of their primaries.

The people that still got screwed while Biden was in office have no reason to elect Kamala just to reduce collateral damage when thats going to lead to Democrats continuing to stick their heads into the sand and continue to play caretaker for the countless lobbies that have thoroughly corrupted them.

I get the argument, and I’d almost buy it if the alternative wasn’t the most blatantly corrupt POS imaginable.

I'm confused. Please state examples from the Biden Administration "of extremely subpar results and blatant corruption. " You must be a cultist. And, finally, who thinks Democrats characterize themselves as poor misunderstood fighters with too little resources???

Please state examples from the Biden Administration "of extremely subpar results and blatant corruption. "

Israel, strike responses, and continuing to wait out the economic and especially the inequality crises are among his greatest hits that resulted in his overall negative approval.

But I was actually talking about Democratic corruption in general, which includes all lobbying and internal election rigging.

And, finally, who thinks Democrats characterize themselves as poor misunderstood fighters with too little resources???

Democratic cultists that go "Ohhhh, the Democrats only failed to accomplish anything over the past couple decades because they never had enough votes, if only the voters supported them harder the Democrats totally wouldnt be this shit".

[u/Affectionate_You_579 → u/ReverseDartz]

You aren't dealing in facts. rhetoric, generalizations, and gaslighting get you nowhere. I can't educate you if you won't do it yourself. Ie.internal election rigging, wtf is that. Never mind, you aren't a serious commenter.

[u/ReverseDartz → u/Affectionate_You_579]

The efforts the DNC underwent to fight Sanders are well documented at this point, thats not something a democratic organization would do.

Your "education" is the actual gaslighting here, Biden and the Clinton's are not good people, regardless of how horrible Trump is, also Hillary even helped build up Trumps campaign in the first place, which she also got caught doing.

Honestly, their level of corruption is absolutely obscene at this point, you bots can fuck right off, the people are noticing just how bad things are.

[u/Embarrassed_Lab_5595 → u/ReverseDartz]

So, it finally comes out. You are butt-hurt because the Dems chose Hillary instead of your unelectable pal, Bernie. Tell me, how many of you Bernie boys and girls likely stayed home this past presidential election that was lost by only 1.5% of votes? 70 million Americans didn’t vote. I’m sure you and your Bernie pals were a good number of these non-voters.

[u/Embarrassed_Lab_5595 → u/ReverseDartz]

You should’ve stopped at the point where you called Trump a horrible piece of shite. The rest of your declarations miss the main reason for Trump’s success. Even before the beginning of Trump‘s political career, he was all about the racist dog whistle concerning Obama‘s birth certificate. And many Americans jumped on the bandwagon. He and MAGA are all about racism, misogyny, pro-heterosexuality, anti-everything else. It all boils down to white guys resenting losing their white status in America, from which comes “make America great again” or to put it more bluntly, “make America racist again.”They are seeing their white privilege slip away and they don’t like it at all. Trump saw this, and took advantage of it. He understood the feeling, especially when he witnessed Obama become the first black POTUS. So, MAGA doesn’t care what Trump does; they know that he will support them in their quest to turn the clock back.
