Thank god. If Trump is forced out of the race from being in jail, DeSantis was the next leader, and at this point I really don’t know which one of them is worse.
Trump is worse, hands down. Trump demonstrated willingness to subvert democracy, DeSantis seems to actually care about working within the system. Maybe that means DeSantis will have more success getting policy passed, but he’s less likely to become a dictator.
It is beyond bizarre to me that we are discussing another election with Trump in it.
Why? Is there some law that he has broken and been convicted of breaking and thus officially disqualified from holding federal office? Are the democrats some kind of Amazing Pax Americana party that consistently and measurably increases the quality of life for the vast majority of Americans while also shunning foreign adventurism?
Cause unless those things are true, then it seems quite expected that Trump would run again and have a similar amount of support as he did in 2020.
Oh God. I thought I recognized your username. You were the guy defending Nazis here in Australia I responded to on another thread.
Even sitting here in Australia it was obvious he was planning to overthrow the election months before it happened (I worked that out within 5 mins of seeing sky news at a customers house).
The guy has broken many laws (he’s a rapist, tax cheat, etc).
The fact he has any support and has managed to create a cult should be a reason why nobody supports him
But sure, let’s hope he has similar support to 2020 because if he can’t get elected in the upcoming election, he’s going straight to jail. And when he gets prosecuted for being a traitor and breaching confidential information, hopefully he gets life imprisonment and isn’t eligible to run (he already shouldn’t be technically)
Yea I wasn’t defending nazis, but glad to see you are using the intent of that law correctly. That is to classify any criticism of the government as “defending nazis.”
If Trump has “similar support” as in 2020 it’s going to be a landslide victory for him.There are laws which technically make him ineligible to run: https://apnews.com/article/trump-insurrection-14th-amendment-2024-colorado-79373b5043976588b599fc00ede049e8
And, based on everything I’ve seen, the arguments are basically just Trump claiming he’s immune whilst president. So yeah… There was a law he broke, and he already got disqualified by 2 states. Don’t be surprised if he’s disqualified nationally.
And yeah, you WERE defending nazi’s. You basically say I, as an aussie don’t “understand” the purpose of the legislation. Well, I understood it. There were literal Neo-Nazi’s congregating at rally’s. You’re literally the only one on the planet other than the neo nazi’s who interpreted it as anything other than stopping nazi rally’s. Shutting down Nazi salutes only silences nazi’s, unless you think there’s a valid usecase for a bunch of people doing nazi salutes? Fuck them, silence them I’d say. It was actually everyone else demanding they get banned honestly.
You conveniently overlooked the part of legislation where they banned “terrorists groups” and group them in with Nazis. Where Terrorists groups are free to be designated at will. So now in Australia, if you say “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.”, or if you call for the boycot of a genocidal country, the government gets to silence you as if you are a Nazi.
You mean banning these guys: https://www.nationalsecurity.gov.au/what-australia-is-doing/terrorist-organisations/listed-terrorist-organisations . Oh No. They are such friendly supportive groups. Also, you can’t just pick them randomly, they need to follow a legal process. I mean sure, it’s critical for free speech to have gangs brainwash others and teach them how to make bombs to injure other people. All
Tomorrow, you’ll be arguing criminal gangs should be let out of prison.
And no… None of that nonsense will happen. You’ve clearly never been here. Sounds like you’re prioritising extremist groups instead of the victims of them.
https://www.nationalsecurity.gov.au/what-australia-is-doing/terrorist-organisations/listed-terrorist-organisations/kurdistan-workers-party-pkk Man sure glad the Marxist Leninist Party that is defending the themselves from genocide on that list.
So what serious contenders are there still for the primaries?
And is Trump still considered a serious contender when there are entire states who definitely won’t have him on the final ballot?
Those states, and counting, are forced to keep him on the ballot by the Supreme Court.
Donald Trump and Nicki Haley. And Trump is not harmed in the least bit as long as he’s only left off blue state ballots. That has zero effect on his ability to win electoral votes.
Yes because Colorado was never going to go to Trump anyway. Maine splits their electoral votes but 1 or 2 electoral votes are very very unlikely to make a difference in the election. And that probably won’t matter anyway because SCOTUS will almost certainly rule to keep him on the ballot.

He’s the only serious contender. sigh
