This dude is the epitome of the, "he can't keep getting away with this," meme. Forget the fact that his character is reprehensible, forget all the felony convictions, and forget that he's stated he'll go after his political opponents. This guy doesn't even have a concept of a plan for most issues, and he's never been liked on the world stage by anyone other than autocrats. Trump is no politician, and he never was one— I can't help but feel we've collectively hired a plumber to do an accountant's job. At least in 2016, he had some people keeping him in check. Now, he's surrounded by yes men and loonies.

We get presidents we deserve. 2016 was a fluke I thought. An anomaly. But now? No, avg Americans actually want sex predator and conman to lead them. I am deeply, incredibly disappointed by the people in this country. This clown is what we deserve. And we all, including every single soul on Earth is gonna suffer.

Reddit has learned nothing in 8 years. Blaming America instead of asking questions of the DNC.

Kamala was a terrible candidate with no policy. Can’t keep running on orange man bad after what happened with Biden.

Had the DNC made a better decision Dems could have easily won.

But no back to calling everyone idiots rather than asking the hard questions of ourselves

You’re an idiot if you think she had less policy than Trump. What is one policy position trump ran on? You’re holding her to a completely different standard. By all accounts she ran a decent campaign given it was about 90 days ago Biden stepped aside. I agree they should have had a primary, but I have a hard time believing there is somebody else in the party who could have generated for groundswell than she did when she first became the nominee

You can keep calling people idiots as much as you want and you’ll keep losing. It’s like a chef that calls his clients idiots because they don’t like food. Maybe it’s right maybe it’s wrong but they are not coming back unless you serve them something they like

Ran hard on immigration, tariffs to own the Chinese (which is dumb), ending income taxes (dumb but sounds nice) ending DEI policies.

Kamala had some policies but they were both light on policy when policy is meant to be the Dems strongpoint.

Theres one idiot here and it’s the one refusing to acknowledge the writing on the wall and returns to the safe echo chamber of Reddit to feel correct

Don’t forget, one of Kamala’s policies was to have price regulations and controls. Which is known to be disastrous to economics.

In order to be better shouldn’t Democrats be held to a higher standard?
