    It actually isn’t “everything you need to know”, because this is straight-up misleading. You’ve removed the two candidates to the left of Pence (Christie and Hutchinson) who did not raise their hands when asked if they would support Trump as the nominee.

      Christie did raise his hand though. Even if just at the last second, and only half-way

      Agreed I would have preferred an uncropped imagine and would have still gotten a message across about US political systems.

      Because it’s irrelevant. The point is that the other 6 raised their hands. Which not only includes those leading in the polls behind Trump but also Mike Pence himself!

      This picture does cut off the two candidates on the left who didn’t raise their hands, and I’m not 100% Pence raised his hand in supporting Trump but don’t remember. Otherwise more or less accurate.

        jfc. 12 solid years of trying to follow this fucking shitshow of a country and I just can’t handle it these days.

          I think it’s one of the reasons I’ve been following Ukraine so closely. It’s a sad conflict, but it gives me a sense of hope seeing united people who genuinely give a fuck about their country and what they can achieve.

        Pence had some hesitation, but like the rest, he buckled to the cheers of the crowd and raised his hand.

    The rules don’t matter, power is all they care about. Acting all astonished every time conservatives ignore laws is naive

      And more importantly, what’s right also doesn’t matter to them.

      I call this out because sometimes rules and laws are immoral and thus it’s sometimes good to ignore those rules. But this isn’t one of those times.

      It boiled down to there being no real policy to improve the country, just rhetoric and culture war bullshit and pandering about God and men in sports.

      The two candidates who said out loud that they don’t support Trump, Hutchinson and Christi, got booed by the crowd.

      It’s hilarious to me that not supporting Trump will kill a Republican’s campaign, but supporting him means you think he deserves the nomination and so therefore killing your campaign. They created this Trump problem, now they need to eat shit as it destroys them.

    Man Lemmy is full of people who are autistic as fuck and suck at jokes or are pedantic as fuck.

    Funny and too true.
