politics

I mean, I don't know anyone who would vote for another republican candidate personally

Hoping he cruises to it

I wonder who he'd pick for his VP this time around

I'm hoping in Colorado, there's just nobody on the ballot

That would be a real win for democracy

That would actually be great

that makes me sad that he ended it

Alas, my fanfiction reality of a 4 way race between republican nominee Haley, incumbent Biden and independent Trump and Kennedy will not come to pass

DeSantis’ base will all go straight to Trump, making this yet another boring race

Can’t wait for Trump to win and then I’ll have 4 more years of my parents complaining and nothing bad will actually happen but people will talk about how bad it is

i would be genuinely surprised if trump wins, because the left will do everything in its power to prevent it

I do, a very small amount, want him to win because it’d be really funny to see the Dems call election fraud

But it’d be very annoying after that

I think them trying to send him to jail increases Trumps chance of winning 10 fold

His base has been hyper invigorated

which is what he needed after acomplishing nothing and having his hype die down

I really wanted him to get a mugshot and I’m glad he did, but it’s honestly one of the most influential pieces of propaganda ever created

In us political history anyway

I also think if he does not win, there is a chance for another jan 6th event where nothing happens but people call it the worst attack on democracy in history

Having that with the caption “I won’t give up on America” does crazy for patriots

man i'm so sick of hearing about jan 6th

literally nothing happened

We watched it live

we were so excited

Eh, it could’ve been a lot worse

But it wasn’t good

I was more dissapointed than I was for day 1 of the ukraine war

dude, they had access to offices, not one computer was stolen and info leaked online

I wanted to have a bunch of "this US congrassman is cheating on his wife with a man" scandles

a bunch of unarmed protestors standing around in the capitol building is not gonna do anything

I wanted it to scare congress into doing something, anything with their majority

But it didn’t even do that

it scared aoc

who wasnt even there

Good enough I guess

Nothing ever happens

politics is dead and gay

both parties are the worst option

the majority isnt gonna stop being dug in for their party unfortunately

it would be so good if an independant won but it will never happen because people dont even need a reason to vote for "the party"

That’s why I wanted the 4 man race

Because if Trump won as an independent at least thats something 🤷🏻‍♂️

Canada briefly had a good system where there were 3 actual parties, then the NDP imploded because they replaced the guy everyone liked with the sikh guy everyone thinks is a hypocrite because he is

But no, Iowans like Trump so now it’s gonna be boring

I don’t understand why Sikhs, Chinese and French Canadians have to have such a stranglehold over Canadian politics

It feels so odd and silly

French Canadians makes sense

it is literally codified

because otherwise they would not have joined Canada in the first place

Sikhs is weird, chinese is because they are invading us

They’re just Quebec, you’d think the other provinces could just say fuck off

If they did, I think the last referendum to leave would've been different

we have to vaguely play ball with Quebec and let them keep to themselves more than most provinces if we do not want to collapse as a country

Quebec leaving Canada would be bad for both but worse for Quebec : p

that is true

But I guess it’d be just like them to cecede anyway

The only provice I think that could have left and did well was Alberta during the height of the oil sands

but now, I doubt any would do all that well

I wonder how well a Trump like figure would do in Canada

gotta maintain that supply of maple syrup

I do not think he'd do as well here

“Close the borders, focus on Canadians”

That sentiment is growing popular

Unironically something they should do tbh

but you'd need someone different than how trump is

i wish we had that in the US

Loveland, did you see the latest stats

Trump but nice I guess

over 1 million international indian students in Canada right now

+ their families

that is at a minimum 2.5% of Canada's pop

Yeah I heard about that during the diplomatic incident

I was sad nothing really came of that

its actually crazy

Aren’t a majority of the Sihks? Which are a pretty small population of India to begin with?

I thought the chinese were bad, but that is just selection bias because Uwaterloo is mostly chinese because we are a real school

the fact that shitter degree mills can even take international students is insane

It’d be worse in BC, I heard Vancouver is a Chinese city basically

It depends where you are, but yeah
