People have gathered in Union Square wearing "save Israeli democracy" shirts and waving the country's flag. It comes after Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas praised the UK's decision to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Follow the latest.
They don’t, though. They elect representations of who the parties are. Sometimes. Other times, the representation fucks up in the middle of a debate and gets dragged off stage to be euthanized. Then his second-string understudy steps up and delivers some of the most lackluster campaigning since Mondale, effectively handing the election to a man who has spent the bulk of his political career underwater on favorables.
South Park chokes itself on its libertarian farts, but one thing they got right was the “Douche and Turd” metaphor. Genuine popular politicians - from Jesse Jackson to Bernie Sanders - never seem to make it to the final lap. Popular election winners never seem to have enough Electoral College votes to become President. Election counting systems never seem to function as advertised, forcing the SCOTUS to decide elections on the voters’ behalf.
This shit is rigged seven ways from Sunday. The voters are at the bottom of the list of people deserving of blame for their reps. As often as not, the candidates they produce are a reaction to even more loathem options on the primary ballot.
Justify it any way you want. People still saw and experienced Trump. Had decades of first-hand evidence. His first campaign in 2016 he openly talked about sexually assaulting women and Americans were fucking hard for it.
