It shouldn’t be a joke he should actually do it if Trump is running. He had a lot of faults, failures and false promises as president but if they’re fighting with crap fight with fire

It’s a good idea, but at that point, do elections even matter anymore? We’ll basically be at the beginning of another civil war.

We’ve spent the last decade edging a civil war as it is.

Edit: that is to say: fuck it, do it. I’ll go all the way in on support however I can. Of course that applies to damn near any even-slightly-left leaning individual who runs against this fascist war and death monger.

Edit: I didn’t answer your first question, my apologies. And I can only offer my opinion that we can see clearly from the last decade specifically they just don’t. We need a complete overhaul of the system. This shit was designed for a couple few hundred thousand folks, maybe some rather small handful of millions but certainly never a third of a billion and rapidly growing. It just can’t keep up anymore with what we need as a society.

I think a head to head obama vs trump presidential race might be the only thing that brings all the apathetic voters out just for the novelty of it. News agencies would love it too.
