Factually, that’s what he did during his time in office as well. I’m not sure what they thought had changed.

With the Democrats sucking up all the media attention
This article is desperately trying to change that
Bullshit. They’re going to keep pumping out “Trump is losing so horribly no one has to vote anymore” propaganda so then we’ll have another 2016. Our rights are at stake and life is going to be harder for everyone except the elites if Project 2025 happens. All I know is I’m showing up to vote regardless of who’s “winning”.
I’ll never forgive Wisconsin.
Yea, but cheese is really good though.
The thing is, whether Harris would win without your vote or not, you still have to vote for all the other offices too, so we can have a Dem majority in the House and Senate, and more Dems at your State level in the legislature, governor’s office, AG, election board, school board, etc. Those things are just as important as POTUS. Not to mention that even in states Harris winds up losing, the margins need to be made as small as possible to show how much support she really has in all states (very important for both parties to see this–it impacts what policies get implemented, what they think they can get away with), also for future funding allocation of candidates by the parties, etc.
Bottom line is that voting is tremendously important to do, no matter what! Not voting just has too many negative consequences.
Also treating voting as optional decreases your sense of obligation to democracy. Voting and political participation are rights, but they carry with them duties. Even if I feel the need to turn in a blank ballot I see it as a responsibility to turn in a ballot of some kind. To let myself not do so is to take the first step towards only voting if I feel like it. So no, every two years non negotiable, every major primary, and usually even off year elections. On the Tuesday following the first Monday in November I’m busy unless I voted early.
Everyone associated with the campaign is constantly on the air and saying the opposite. Got out and vote, and don’t trust polls.
Awesome
I mean, that’s literally how he operated when he was in the White House, how would this be a surprise to anybody? He’s where he is because of a vast propaganda network that’s working tirelessly to put him into power because he’s an incredibly useful idiot that can get people riled up. He’s not given up, he’s just getting complacent because he doesn’t believe elections or democracy matters at all.
he’s an incredibly useful idiot
He’s supposed to be a useful idiot, but he’s spending too much time golfing and ranting that he’s not against Biden.
That he’s not against Biden?
Please. Keep doing this Donny. In fact, just give up now so we can have a sane government.
Either it’s a demotivated Trump, or it’s a Trump who figures that if he’s going on the offensive now, then the Harris campaign will still have time for a comeback.
Friends don’t let friends get lazy, remind everyone to vote!
or someone convinced him that shutting his mouth was for the best of his campaign?
Yeah, I’m thinking of a rewrite of “the greatest trick the Devil ever did was convince the world he didn’t exist”
We have to take the election fraud seriously. The only reason a felon like trump, facing jailtime, would take it easy is if he knew he was guaranteed the presidency in November. Either he got assurances from the Supreme Court or he knows something we dont.
Trump and Harris have been very close to 50-50 on prediction markets for the past week. Harris was slightly ahead before that, and has lost that lead. It doesn’t mean Trump is winning, but Harris doesn’t seem to have gotten a convention bounce.
I saw some of the Dem convention on TV and thought it was terrible. I’m not surprised if it didn’t go over well.
Gotta love Lemmy for people downvoting a comment like this one
What a demented fool U R!
You are a brainwashed little lemming!
Hopefully age is catching up to him
Or the realization that consequences don’t have to be legal.
Manifest.
Manifest.
Manifest.
What is this in reference to? I doubt it’s this hymn https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/241
There’s an idea on the internet that you can manifest certain things into reality by visualizing it really hard. Here it’s being used in a joking sense almost like trying to cast a hex on Trump.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump is ranting about crowd sizes.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump’s skin is orange.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump only cares about himself.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump is living in the past.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump is a convicted felon.
Like, who are these aides? Where were they the last 20 years?
These are probably new people who, like the old aides, can’t say anything honestly to anyone surrounding the campaign for fear of being fired, or outed (they’ve done this to their own people expect fanatic followers to do them harm). So these new folks realized this pretty quickly, and now just leak to the press like the entire old group of aides and confidants did. It’s pretty fucking pathetic.
And then sell a book detailing all the crimes they could have done something about a year later when they quit the administration.
Still: Where were they the last 20 years? They existed in the same world as Trump. They knew what they were signing up for. This isn’t shocking to anyone. They don’t get to pretend that helping a fascist seize power is a job they stumbled into out of the classifieds.
It’s not relevant what Trump did last 20 years. It’s only relevant what Trump did during close campaigns in the last 20 years, which is maybe one year in total, or two years, depending how you measure.
Which is to say, just because most people would predict it, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about it and report on it now when it’s actually happening. Because Trump could have woken up. There was always a chance that at some level he realized that he doesn’t want to face what’s coming to him if he loses.
You’re an idiot with TDS!
Sounds about right. The guy is just lazy and petty. And yet, due to the outdated, slavery-era EC and the fact that 30-some percent of this country thinks this dumbphuck is the best choice for office, we just might have him in office anyway, no matter how lazy, inept and stupid he is.
