Obviously the democrats are more corrupt because they’re getting away with all of their crimes /s
It’s funny, the guy below you at the time of my reply is basically saying that without the /s.
By the way, nice to see you again!
M’howdy
obama bombed the fuck out of syria and no one batted an eye. all technically legal.
biden is signing some hefty sums (and bombs) to israel, pretty sure thats legal too.
so, like, yeah maybe. republicans are probably doing more corruption at home too to upset your legal system.
Imagine how much of a criminal you have to be to end up arrested in a system where you have the advantage as a political criminal tho.
That’s how messed up the Republicans are

Why isn’t anyone constantly trolling trump about this??
Because he’s a firehose of bullshit (gish gallop) and projection supported by a documented surge of foreign troll/bot farms helping plant and reinforce disinformation. As planned through years of gop attacking basic access to education, health care and a livable wage… the American people are either not equipped or don’t have the energy to deal with that - especially from the position of a president or candidate even - we’re trained to need a national father that will protect us if we get over our skis, so we are intimidated by the idea of fully opposing the office and the process, which is why we allow a convicted felon, compulsive liar to stand on stage as some sort of peer with a serving president.

Wait, who was the one?
Blagojevich maybe? I’m not sure exactly what we’re measuring here.
Who, by the way, was pardoned. Want to guess who pardoned him?
I’m pretty sure IL had more corrupt governors before Blagojevich so I don’t think it’s including them.
I don’t know but I’m betting that they were voted in by the great state of New Jersey.
Is this all elected officials? I’m confused where these numbers are coming from.
They’re coming directly from a well meaning individual’s asshole
It’s only federal numbers and I think they might be a few years out of date but I’m too lazy to check.
If this were up to date, it would absolutely list a criminal president
Looks like only federal to me but idk.
Every US president I remember was a (war) criminal. But it’s not about the individuals, but rather the systemic changes enacted.
As a non-american just watching the democratic shitshow I can’t believe why on earth there are only two parties. If the parties are fucked up, build a new one. That’s what democracy is made for.
Macrons party in France was fresh up from the ground at his first election.
PS. I’m aware that France is a bad example actually, but the fact about his party is still true.
First past the post elections. If we had ranked choice or runoff elections, more parties would appear.
Instead, in FPTP, every vote that is not for one of the two highest-polling candidates is objectively a wasted vote. Game theory dictates that the only rational choice is a vote for one of those two candidates, since the possibility of a third party gaining enough votes to win in any single election is nearly infinitesimal. So instead of many parties, all candidates self-sort into one of the two viable parties. Any candidate that does not is a protest candidate or deluded, but in either case, there is no hope of actually winning.
So what about primaries? The primary system decides the candidates, but even that is tainted by FPTP, because primary voters have to guess which will perform better in a FPTP general election and often vote against their ideal candidate in the hopes of winning (or, not losing) the general.
In short, until we structurally reform elections to be ranked/STAR/runoff/etc to remove the punitive effect of voting for your actual ideal candidate, we’re stuck with a prisoner’s dilemma election every time.
As a non-american just watching the democratic shitshow I can’t believe why on earth there are only two parties.
In a lot of cases, there’s only one real functioning party. Smaller states and gerrymandered districts tend to have a single dominant party and a secondary dissident party, with the dominant party controlling all the statewide offices and most of the legislative seats, while the dissident party controls some number of municipal seats where they have a local majority.
Macrons party in France was fresh up from the ground at his first election.
Macron spun En Marche out of the collapsed ruin of Hollande’s Socialist Party (*) (for whom he was deputy secretary general until Hollande’s ouster). He was more akin to Lincoln’s Republicans (who emerged from the wrecked carcass of the American Whig Party) or Theodore Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party (which might as well have been Republicans For Roosevelt Party, given how badly Wilson rocked both him and Taft).
(*) don’t get too existed. they were pretty thin on actual socialism.
Le Penn’s National Front has a real foundation (of French fascists) that existed before she started mobilizing the party and will stick around after she’s gone. Similarly the New Popular Front (not to be confused with The People’s Front of Judea rimshot) has a broad coalition of support that transcends any one leader. Both are more in line with a traditional American party.
Looks like I know shit about French politics, thanks, TIL.
Btw. maybe it needs a strong movement to create a real third party. A workers union for example, there is a lot of potential if they unite. BLM, too. America had strong movements in the past but none of them went into a political party, sadly.
Americans are near universally convinced that third-parties are a dead end, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. I’ve never understood it and I would’ve thought having two obviously non-viable candidates would challenge that assumption, but it doesn’t seem like anything will. The classic Simpsons bit where both candidates get replaced by evil space aliens but still get elected because “what are you going to do, vote third party?” was not an exaggeration in the slightest. Americans just accept anything.
its because the indivual states entrenched the two parties. It’s really difficult to form another national party. The two main candidates also often run as nominess for smaller state level parties.
They are not the same, the republicans are the psychopath shooting up a classroom of kids, and the democrats are the Uvalde cops tasing those that try to stop it.
God that’s so perfect I want to nab that and blast it on a megaphone.
The meaning is clear. Dems only have 3 short years in which to rack up a fuckload of crimes, if they want to beat the GOP.
But Hunter biden had a gun, that should count against them - NRA spokesperson, probably.
Only a good Hunter Biden with a gun can stop a bad Hunter Biden with a gun.
I have no idea if these numbers are correct. For me I don’t need any history though. One party is standing behind a guy who has been charged with 91 felony counts in four different jurisdictions and convicted of 34 and counting, and that’s just for stuff he did while in office or as a candidate. He attempted a coup. He fomented a terrorist attack on the Capitol. Still, the Republicans are like, “Yep, that’s our guy!” all while the Democrats tear themselves apart over Biden being old and doing old person things. Yeah it would be nice to have a better option for president, but this is not a difficult decision.
Please vote, friends!
Oh so the party of law and order was meaning the party that keeps law enforcement busy
I’m actually confused because I know Jesse Jackson Jr. did a prions sentence of 2 and a half years for wire and mail fraud and Anthony Weiner did 18 months for sexual offenses. Frank Ballance was sentanced to 4 years for money laundering and mail fraud and William J. Jefferson was sentanced to 13 years for bribery. Jim Traficant was sentanced to 8 years for financial corruption. Which one of these is the 1 prison sentence?
Who knows? There’s no citation as far as I can tell.
Its not like we don’t have Bob Menendez pending trial for smuggling gold bars down his pant legs or Henry Cueller queued up for $600k in bribery charges (both of which are apparently fine, according to the GOP aligned SCOTUS…)
But you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel when your case for a 2024 candidate slate requires you to call back to the Keating Five and Abscam.
I need no convincing. There is a Wikipedia page on this topic and its mostly Republicans listed there but plenty of Democrats as well so the meme really makes no sense to me. AI generated perhaps.
There’s definitely a heavy imbalance toward Republicans, but yes, this meme is just wrong.
Yeah well you didn’t include tan suit scandals so it doesn’t count
also condiments!
They’re not the same, but they do work together to thwart the will and prosperity of the people. The game wouldn’t work if they were exactly the same.
Good cop, bad cop.
This isn’t true. Off the top of my head I can think of at least two democrats who’ve been sentenced to prison. I vote democratic party 99% of the time and I don’t disagree with the premise but I don’t want like-minded folks going around with bad info
