The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

          that’s good on your part, but you’re not the American people. the people voted for mango mussolini, and that’s exactly what they got. in elections past I would agree with you. but not this time.

            Same sentiment here.

            First time, maybe people weren’t paying attention, maybe they wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe they really hated the Clinton dynasty, and to be fair he lost the popular vote by millions. Ok, you guys got screwed, learn the lesson and move on.

            Second time, there was all the precedent: disastrous covid handling (hundreds of thousands of excess deaths), ruined economy, absolute international clown show, hiring his family, all the golf (at his properties), racism, sharpies, crowd sizes, all the testimonials of his incompetence from anyone working with him, his own VP not endorsing him… And the crimes. And the treason. And the porn star. And Project 2025. And not only he won again, but this time he got the popular vote. The American people made their bed, and instead of pillows they used a face eating leopard.

        Winning the popular vote doesn’t mean everyone voted for him. Besides, realistically he didn’t even do that.

          I guess you missed the part where OP wrote “NOT VOTING IS VOTING”.

          In the 2020 election, 81,283,501 people voted for Biden while 74,223,975 voted for Trump.

          In the 2024 election, 75,017,613 voted for Harris, while 77,302,580 voted for Trump.

          Thata 155,507,476 - 152,230,193 = 3,187,283 fewer people voting.

          Biden got 81.2m votes vs Harris getting 75m votes… in other words, people who showed up to vote for Biden in 2020 sat out and didn’t vote in 2024, which directly resulted in Trump winning.

          Not voting is voting, get it now?

            I commented saying that I don’t think Trump got 77,302,580 votes. Get it now? Bringing up Bidens and Harris’s vote count is irrelevant.

              are you claiming election fraud?

              that’s ridiculous but either way you’re missing the point.

              he got more than 77 million votes. close to 86 million people didn’t vote. like it or not, that’s still 86 million votes.

              not voting isn’t a way to say “I don’t like either one”, it says “I’m on board with whoever wins by people who actually show up”. so that’s a vote for mango mussolini. would’ve been for Harris if that 1.6% margin swung the other way, but it didn’t.

              so essentially he got the stamp of approval of around 160 million people.
