Not sure what TFG means. I would consider myself fairly well informed prior to Trump getting elected. Presidents still got the lion’s share of coverage but I was fairly aware of what a lot of other political figures were doing. Since Trump was running against Hillary practically everything in US politics is about him or relating to him in some way. I still try to read news every day but it’s incredibly frustrating with how much coverage that orange POS gets.
weird you switched from “we” in your previous comment to “I” here. my point was the US voters were never well informed. be it reelecting W, or picking the original celebrity president Reagan with an insane landslide, a brilliant move that would ruin the country for generations to come.
So at the time people with private access were swearing up and down the emperor had clothes, the people voted in a ‘primary’ where the only opposition was someone no one had ever heard of with no media budget and with no debates between the candidates, and voted for the allegedly clothed emperor.
Then the emperor showed up stark naked to a debate, everyone saw with their own eyes, and people are freaking out.
But no, naked dude is definitely what “the people” want.
Do commenters regurgitating this stuff even hear themselves?
as you should. and of course you would, though the question is whether the American people in general will, especially considering the incredibly democratic elections you have where it doesn’t matter which candidate has the most votes.
have you tried nominating anyone younger than a mountain
That would involve Americans being interested in politics more then once every 4 years
Maybe if the news had talked about someone besides Trump sometime in the last decade we’d be better informed.
like you were informed before TFG ran for office…? or were they talking about him then too?

Yes, they tried, and Biden won about 90% of votes in the primaries.
Lol. Such a ridiculous take.

Bidens age was never a secret. Votes have consequences. People rejected Bernie twice, now live with the consequences.
Same for the Republicans, they could have had Bush 2, Rubio, Kaisich, Hailey or even Cruz, they chose the criminal ignorant clown.
w was bush 2
are we pretending there was a real democratic primary now?
“rigged election”… where have I heard that lately…
oh that’s so weak. this isn’t the general election. yes it is rigged because there were no real options. who were the primary candidates?
Your ignorance is not “rigging”.
answer the fucking question
What’s the point? Even if I didn’t know, you think I wouldnt just Google it? What does that prove?
i guess you’re so focused on arguing for the sake of it you forgot what you were talking about.
The DNC never ran a primary of any kind. The incumbent is always given the nomination.
I’d vote for a mountain over a fascist every day of the week. And twice on Sundays.
That’s great and all
But were talking about winning an election.
A pretty serious election…
Can we try not doing it with both hands tied behind our back?
Pretty sure the person in a straight jacket shouldn’t be complaining about tied hands.
Straitjacket*
