People need to get it through their head that there will BE NO MIDTERMS.
Trump has done this much in only 9 months, and he still has another 9 to find a way to never have elections again. He’s already got his Reichstag moment with the Charlie Kirk killing. He’s already declared that democrats are going to be investigated and that “left wing violence” is the enemy. Why the fuck do people think he’s done all of that if not to pre-emptively get some bullshit excuse to “postpone” the midterms?
Get your heads out of your asses, Americans.
he already installed a election denier to head the elections infrastructure nationwide. also there s a subset of people that dont register on purpose, because they dont want to be called for Jury duty, which can be potentially financially devestating for people.
Hold the fuck up. Am I getting this right?
You have to register to be able to vote. If you register, you might have to work in court, losing out on pay. You don’t get any compensation for that. The lost pay can ruin you financially.
What the fuck?
You get paid about 3.50 and hour in my state.
As in, 28 per day of work missed? Or even less than that
In my county we get paid 35 dollars per day for jury duty.
in cali its 15/day if your in JD(in person)
Some states dont pay you on the first, day even if they do its like less 5-15/day if your selected. and federal court might pay you more , and this is seperate from your cities JD, so some people have gotten both JD summons in one year. and Commuting by car is partially reimbursed, lol. i do hear alot of people skip JD, but most are dismissed anyways.
Most middle class jobs tend to give paid leave for jury duty. If you can’t get that or can’t afford the lost income, you can usually get out of having to appear because of that.
So the poor might not be able to participate in the judicial process?
Yes, that’s the result of this. A better government would pay its citizens a few hundred bucks a day for jury duty.
Depends on the state. In CT you can get called for jury duty of you have a driver’s license, no voter registration required
Oh yea, here in cali they get you first by voter rolls(registration) and driver license, or state ID. im not sure about utility bills, or other kinds id, but thats what i heard. aLSO, noticed those that were in JD before is more likely to be called in the future. thats why i alot of people think its not-partially random. and also how recently you voted too. note, it almost happen in 6months of voting in any election, while people i know that dint vote, or registered gets one every few years of JD. and some people never get Summons at all. like if you go to any other "fourm/site talking about JD.
There’s really no reason to not have midterms. Even if there is a blue tsunami, and Congress impeaches Trump, that just empowers him further. It would finally precipitate the Constitutional crisis that solidifies his dictatorship. The Executive is the enforcement arm of the government, and it’s already been purged and filled with cultists. They will not remove him, they will not stop following his orders.
Cancelling the midterms would surely cause a Constitutional crisis, earlier, and there’s no reason to be hasty. The longer that event can be put off, the less likely people will resist violently.
There will be midterms, there just won’t be fair or accurate results.
…If Republicans are overseeing them.
If midterms happen it will have to have people in the streets prior. We really need the various military/police to step up by standing down.
It’s wild as a Canadian watching for sure. All international news sources are still in on the koolaid as well because they have to be. For all intents and purposes midterms will happen but behind closed doors I bet all journalists would tell you it’s gonna be like a Russian election. The fix is in. What’s laughable is no one is saying it out loud yet and Americans aren’t fighting for their democracy.
- 1/3 of America is full in on fascism
- 1/3 of America doesn’t give a shit
- 11/36 of America sees it and sits on their asses
- 1/36 of America is actively trying to stop this
Even if they do have em it doesnt matter with election fuckery like gerrymandering and other corrupt bullshit the ussa will pull
The Americans did not get their heads out of their asses
nope, 400 days in the past you mean. the chance was NOV 5. and its already been more than 1year to this day, since biden dropped out of the election.
the midterms and next presidency is largely less effective, because of the BBB, and the damage and blame would be placed on dems.
It was over the night he won. We traded it for slightly cheaper eggs.
Correction: For the obviously false promise of cheaper eggs.
You traded it for tiktok and other shiny things. The last nine months has proven that modern humans as a whole will go out of our way to not do a damn thing about a LOT of bad shit as long as we still have access to our ipads, smartphones and streaming services.
Americans (and yes…Westerners in general) are so addicted to their creature comforts that we’ll excuse almost anything in order to avoid the inconvenience of not having them if we stand up and actually revolt.
It’s utterly disgusting.
Actually Democrats won, if you discount proven cheating like purging legitimate voters. What was that word again for a government that doesn’t have fair elections?
It’s funny, because the eggs got more expensive.
Some traded fascism for their own moral certitude.
Because allowing the Nazis to seize unanimous power was apparently better than voting for someone who was vague about one genocide.
Or worse: voting for a woman!
its not even that, trump dropped the issue the moment he found out he coulndt lower them, MSM never followed it up.
*Russian eggs of poor quality.
(Hint: If you subsidize eggs, you can make them cheaper.)
Why didn’t Biden think of that? /s
OK, lemme get this straight. This is a group project for 340M people with a deadline that is more than a year ahead. How do we think this will work out?
- People will do nothing for another at least 10 months or so, then panic and do anything to at least have something to show for.
- Most people won’t participate at all and hope that the rest will hand in something that they can claim ownership of.
- When the deadline arrives, they will try to copy the democracy of neighboring nations, even though it’s far too late to change the outcome.
Maybe Trump will outlaw the Democrats by then.
James Carville detected; opinion disregarded.
More accurate would be “Most Americans will find out that the United States is run by fascists in no earlier than 400 days”
we arnt already, im pretty sure it was clear, the moment doge started cutting, and he was cancelling things left and right.
Correct, look at any dictatorial regime in history, half the population will but the propaganda without an ounce of critical thought, most of the remaining will shrug and keep their head low to survive, and a tiny portion of the population will resist, which makes them easy to target and eliminate.
And nothing will improve until there’s a critical mass of resistance, which the average American has no interest in.
Oh I’m pretty sure we’re already too fucked to recover.
nov 5 was the only chance last year, so much damage has been done, and DEMS will likely take the blame with no push back, even if we win some of the elections. plus some of the BBB cuts are set to activate next year.
Oh yeah 4 more years of him trying to go harder than the “casinos”. Your best chance is to immigrate
Democrats are going to force another establishment elite that nobody wants as a leader and fuck it all up again, I bet.
they want NEWSOM, yuck. after seeing ZOHRAN and madhami could do, they arnt taking any chances,. the DNC is pushing newsome quite heavily, newsoms little “social media spat” is so not useful.
It’s already too late
Fuck it. Burn it down.
I mean, I get it, but come on…
More like -740 days.
