Trump’s pitch to Libertarian voters is that if he's re-elected, he’ll push for Ross Ulbricht’s life sentence to be commuted. **"However, during his 2024 re-election campaign announcement two years ago, Trump called on Congress to pass a law mandating the death penalty for drug dealers."** Whistleblower Chelsea Manning was initially sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013 for leaking classified documents. But in one of his last moves in office, former President Barack Obama commuted her sentence. She was released on May 17, 2017, after serving about 7 years of her original sentence in isolation and excessively harsh conditions. **In response to Manning’s first column for The Guardian since her commutation, Trump tweeted that Manning was an “ungrateful traitor” and should “never have been released.”** Trump will say anything to get re-elected. He is an authortarian xenophobe, a twice impeached former President who has faced multiple legal proceedings. Even now, as someone eloquently put it: >He is not being prosecuted in the middle of his campaign. > >He is campaigning in the middle of his prosecutions. It’s a psyop. I don't trust politicians in general, but I especially don't trust Trump. He is a pathological liar, a danger to democracy, who has given the American people far too many reasons not to.
You got the blue talking points down! Danger to Democracy! That’s the best one. If that was true I would actually vote at all. What is actually good about Democracy?
I am a Libertarian. These are facts. Aside from the danger to democracy statement, that is my personal conviction based on his past actions.
I have to laugh at that line cuz no one can explain to me how 51% of voters shitting on the 49% has any value at all. What about the smallest minority like me who does not participate? Democracy is trash
To each their own. I'll leave you with this. nostr:nevent1qqs2w2kqg4sz4rjlcwchwxvq9jw0a3l8jqup0mwuzu9sn80gv93vf3qpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyp8t3qcs666wm9wx6e4rjkea8n64nwzl4my0w6ga4l2qt2fwq4wk6qcyqqqqqqgj27tyz
Sadly, voting for KamaLOL is not going to save you, her Citibank/JPMorgan/ BIS handlers would pick a disgusting cabinet… I can’t wait til trump wins and all the “patriots” fall back asleep in daddy trumps arms, back to watching sportsball and sure everything gonna be alright It’s absolutely pathetic
The electoral college is a scam. The president is a four year spokesperson for the unelected lifetime position controlling elite. That said, IMO it still matters who gets elected. A persident can create more than a few problems with what power they are temporarily granted, it just matter less than most people think.
I’d rather not participate at the federal level State and county level is more important to me
The amount of control that federal government has can definitely be a problem, centralization allows broad control from those behind the scenes. (Bankers/elites). Just curious if your objection is the fact that the electoral college exists to balance the power in the country, or the that the votes that are given from the people are only a guideline for who the electoral college nominates that bothers you? https://i.nostr.build/yjBk.png I live in a country where more than half of the population lives on one side of the country, so the other half of the country is regularly ignored when it comes to federal politics, even though we are a huge part of the financial pool. I think the overall idea of balance isn't a bad idea.
I see. Without knowing the country and going off what you said, it seems to function well under that situation. IMO, America needs something that more directly affects the popular vote. It's a lot to type, so I've used AI to help accurately convey in detail some of my big issues with the electoral college in America. 1. Unequal Representation: The Electoral College system gives disproportionate weight to smaller states. For example, smaller states like Wyoming have more electoral votes per capita compared to larger states like California, meaning a vote in Wyoming carries more weight than a vote in California. 2. Swing State Focus: Presidential campaigns tend to focus on "swing states" where the outcome is uncertain, often neglecting states that are solidly Democratic or Republican. This leads to a situation where the political power of voters in swing states is significantly higher than those in non-swing states. 3. Potential for Minority Rule: There have been instances where a candidate wins the presidency without winning the popular vote, as seen in the 2000 and 2016 elections. This raises questions about the democratic legitimacy of the elected president. 4. Vote Disparities: The number of votes required to elect an elector varies widely from state to state. For instance, in 2016, it took approximately 324,829 voters in Florida to elect one elector, but fewer voters in other states to achieve the same result, highlighting a discrepancy in voter influence. 5. Disenfranchisement: The Electoral College can strip eligible voters of their political power and voice, particularly those in states that are not competitive in presidential elections.
Popular vote is always a bad idea. There is nothing good about direct democracy Tyranny of the majority. Just leave me alone I will not participate The US federal government was created by the states, but that is really really hard to tell today
I keep bringing up his death sentence for drug dealers thing to people and nobody seems to care. Saying something like that even one time in a rally should completely disqualify you as a valid candidate indefinitely. I completely understand not supporting any of the democrats but I 100% don’t understand how anybody could support Trump. He’s an obvious narcissistic sociopath anybody with half a brain can see that. Besides, America’s fucked anyway unless somehow everybody decides to stop supporting either of the 2 parties in the duopoly.
He should have, and could have done it while he was president; he didn't. nostr:nevent1qqstkldmyw3le8thdw8xxeupgywx2hs2fztsw5c7h0t83lh6ght8rqcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qf6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4ksxpqqqqqqzffa74d ...but you do you.
They are all trash
I dont believe in our government. Period. But if he did do the right thing, then I would honor my statement. I don't believe it's going to happen, but you never know.
I didn't say I would do it before that. I said I would if he does. That is a big difference.

good thorough synopsis. its a shame there are no good viable candidates
Dr Shiva and the movement for #TRUTHFREEDOMHEALTH exists. Please dont say there are no viable candidates. Because I actively root for, and advocate change via a bottoms up movement daily. #ASKDRSHIVA #SHIVA4PRESIDENT
Isn’t this the dude who claims he invented email or some dumb shit like that? Seems like a scammer.
Yea he did...in 1979 he created a proprietary system at Rutgers University dubbed 'email' with the same inbox/outbox, Cc & BCc, memo, and drafts thaf we see in normal email UI today before the word "email" was first used comercially So its technically a semantics argument on whether or not he invented email. Do more research Hodl #SHIVA4PRESIDENT #SHATTERTHESWARM #TRUTHFREEDOMHEALTH
Email was in use before that
Comercially?
This is heavily documented in the Brandolini Law archives. You can find more details there.
Email was invented for public use in the 1990s, with the advent of webmail and email clients. Prior to this, email was primarily used by academics, researchers, and government agencies connected to the ARPANET network. Dr Shiva's proprietary inbox/outbox system was used in and documented 1979 and was dubbed 'email'....so its really a semantical arguement. Ray Tomlinson's system did not have inbox/outbox BCc, Cc, memos, drafts etc...it was a simple text messenger. Brandolini law does not apply here. Lol
As military technology with a horrible UX/UI Shiva was the 1st to make a proprietary system for commercial use. nostr:nevent1qqsvkt890yded8aunlsejp58429lqce7xeyyueqguwuacpxgc9l8qvspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygppksv3qtdgls96jpyy4mynf064k74u7a0wmvu3yn5dwhjfraq6tcpsgqqqqqqse0h34f
