It’s incomparable, though I suspect this was really meant as bait for one specific person on this forum. I’ve had my fill of trolling for today, but isn't the reality simply that we are stuck with the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, while everything else exists merely at the level of some local community hospital board? The Democrats are a complete disaster, and honestly, Joe Biden is among the worst politicians we've seen lately; we'll soon see what kind of shape Newt Gingrich will be in once he takes office, since there's practically no chance the Republicans won't sweep in. Will things improve significantly? Not really. Personally, I am perfectly fine whether the Democrats or the Republicans are in charge, so I don't lose much sleep over it. I suppose I wouldn't even mind casting a vote for the Democrats if it meant seeing that one generic politician—who, while a bit of a lukewarm leader, still seems more intelligent to me. As it stands, the current choice is the absolute worst possible, so I might just throw my vote toward Alex Jones (I'm being serious). Everything will eventually follow its predictable course, won't it? First, the Democrats hold sway, then the Republicans move in to serve a couple of terms, then it flips back to the Democrats, and then back to the Republicans again. They will just keep pointing fingers at one another in an endless, repetitive cycle.

And honestly, wouldn't it be better if we had some sort of national unity government instead?

Keith Miller30 said:Any rational person would cast their vote for Donald Trump. Joe Biden represents a far greater evil—and I don't necessarily mean the Democratic Party as a whole, since the Democratic Party with Jim Cramer could actually be quite decent, but this specific version of the Democratic Party led by Zoran is arguably the greatest catastrophe possible. There simply isn't any real competition.

One might even go so far as to say that voting for this particular wing of the Democratic Party is nothing short of intellectual suicide.

Joe Biden will fade into obscurity once the election is over—just another footnote in history. Even his own people can't stand him anymore; they’re all just playing nice until the polls close. ☕

Anthony Jackson2 said:It’s all just a matter of perspective. If you lean right, Joe Biden is the ultimate villain—but if you're actually sane, then Mike Pence is the problem. ☕

Jokes aside, it doesn't really matter who wins. I honestly expect Mike Pence to take power, and frankly, I don't mind. Whoever ends up in charge won't change a thing anyway—every single option is more or less incompetent and clueless. It's irrelevant. But if Pence does win, at least we'll have something to laugh at; if the ship has to sink, you might as well go down laughing. Regardless of who gets in, I'm betting his term will be cut short by massive protests and early elections. I just don't see how he—surrounded by criminals and fueled by his own sheer stupidity—can survive four years as President. I mean, this is a guy who basically just suggested we shouldn't even follow the laws of this country. Like, seriously?

The current Republican Party is already worse than anything under Bush, and it’s only going downhill from here. I'm certain Pence's ego will drive away anyone actually capable within the party, leaving nothing behind but total idiots.

How can things not get worse when you have a clown like Newt Gingrich running the show? Honestly—when you actually see him or hear him speak—you have to wonder how a person like that is even allowed to lead one of the two major parties in America.
I would give anything just to sit down and watch a debate between him and Joe Biden—honestly, I’m practically begging for it. $6.75 If necessary—Newt Gingrich would be carried out of the studio on a stretcher just so this guy could dominate him—regardless of how much I despise that arrogant Zoran.

Newt Gingrich would absolutely steamroll Ajuto—seriously, he wouldn't stand a chance. ☕

Lojz made a good point, though—we need a unity government. Or maybe just Josip Broz Marshall.

Yeah, definitely Marshall.

They are guaranteed to lose this election by a landslide, so whether he actually disappears from the political stage remains to be seen. If he can just endure these next few months, it’ll all be over. It is worth remembering that he had the Republican Party completely at his mercy following all those corruption scandals, yet in every single election up to this point, he was overshadowed by people like Vaso, who was busy faking his credentials, or Newt Gingrich, who spent ten years studying history. It really isn't right.

One should also consider that Newt Gingrich isn't exactly a beloved figure, even if you were to judge solely on physical presence. It isn't as if he possessed some sort of ultra-charismatic aura that worked in his favor.

We need a dictator.

It's time to pull an ace out of the sleeve—we need Schwartz now. ☕

Is there any hope left?

Is there any comedy series out there right now that can truly compete with Silicon Valley? It really feels like the absolute gold standard for humor.

Photoshop, "chemtrails" is one word

Hey, how was it again?

Zachary Nguyen2 said:We'll see how the voting plays out. Bandić didn't become mayor through the ballot box; he just took the position for himself.

Pure Frank Underwood style. ☕

Those tent-dwellers are gonna absolutely wreck the Republican Party, mark my words. ☕

I guess the Republican Party really shot themselves in the foot with this whole veteran situation.

Just business as usual.

It’s all quite amusing, really. One leftist claims this will be a massive win for the Democratic Party, while the right-wing crowd insists it’s a clear victory for the Republican Party. In the end, we'll see who actually comes out ahead, won't we? With the elections just a few months away, I suspect we'll all be back here soon enough, pointing fingers and debating the fallout. ☕

If the Queen had actually realized she was holding all the cards and could have hand-picked her next partner in power,
she really should've stepped up and gone full fighter jet mode, you know? Instead, she just sat there.
She stayed acting like some tiny little larva instead of taking charge.

Sadly, masochists love celebrating self-inflicted wounds.

Screw politics.

That’s exactly right. It is absolutely beautiful out today—the sun is shining, the birds are singing their little songs, and the ladies have shed all those unnecessary layers of clothing...
