You just gotta LOVE MAD MAGAZINE!!!

my brother, an auto mechanic in Texas, was a Bernie Bro. when the DNC put their giant machinery behind Hilary and made her the nominee -- he voted for Trump. in my mind, i multiply him by gazillions...

that's not democracy...

don't get me wrong -- i liked both Hilary and Kamala. i do not think that their being female was the problem. the problem is the DNC made the decision in both cases. and people didn't like it. they either didn't like the DNC's interfering or they didn't like the candidate. either way...

then they ordained Kamala at the 11th hour instead of holding snap elections and letting the nominee rise to the top (it's called democracy). and that gave us Trump 2.0

i disagree, (with parts of this). the DNC, in all its infinite wisdom, essentially decided in their own who would be the nominee in both cases. they stepped in Bernie's neck because they desperately wanted Hilary. and that move gave us Trump 1.0.

A reminder for these times.

Olga Lautman on Substack I don’t want to be an alarmist but this is insanely dangerous. Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with no oversight, has gained access to the federal government’s payment system And all of our data....
