Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.
I am OP and am stunned that, as you’ve correctly stated, that this is what it boils down to. Fuck em. People are stupid. On BOTH sides of the political argument. One side is determined to burn it all to ashes for personal gain while the other side refuses to even try to use the tools afforded to them as constitutional rights to stop them, until things are absolutely to their liking. Nothing is ever their fault, and only their world view is valid. No other explanation matters as long as they get to puff their virtue. And score internet points.
Wtf. Theres a moron in charge actively destroying their civil rights and the voters sit it out because of some issue du jour caught their eye and ‘nobody could be that stupid to vote for him a second time’. Then blame the politicians for a choice they chose to make. Suure… The funders, lobbyists, complicit media, broken system and corrupt politicians twisted their arm and gave them… Gasp… No choice! Im stupid dissapointed to have to share air with these dolts. They deserve every one of the next three years.
Seriously, both groups are narcissistic assholes. Im starting to see trump everywhere in this debate. The rest of us are fucked.
