Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

They're not actually going to run Sundown Joe now right? Like, they can't actually believe he'll have a chance. (hexbear.net)

He's guaranteed to lose now. I can't see a universe where the mental gymnastics add up to deciding that this is a good idea. Don't get me wrong, it'd be funny as hell. But I'm really not looking forward to the idea of more Trump.

It seems like the only people who can get access to him are a clique of his immediate family and long time advisors. There doesn't seem to be an actual political party in the conventional sense. We're dealing with weird dynastic politics and power cliques.

So, it sounds like it's not so much "they", the dnc, are going to run him again, as that Jill and Hunter are going to run him again, and the rest of us can hang if it means Hunter gets some pardons or whatever it is they believe they're doing.

It's all fucked, there's nothing resembling a democratic process or even an organization behind this.

maybe-later-kiddo we can't worry about that right now, maybe when there's not a freakin Cheeto who's going to destroy all of democracy! Then we can maybe talk about the late Holy Roman Empire dynasty holding onto power (but if you try and talk about it we'll scold you as a Russian shill)
