I have yet to see a picture of him where he doesn't look like he has no clue of what is going on around him.

I agree there have been (way) worse presidents than pre 2nd term Trump but he has a lot of potential.

Atm I rank Bush higher but Trump still has another term to catch up.

Touché. His first term wasn't that horrible (although it wasn't good either). I'm still mad they organised a meeting with Kim just to tell him to go fuck himself. That character development could become spicy. On the other hand would we even have had a meeting with Clinton in power?

But hey, he still has four years and a lot of plans to claim a podium place.

Everyone loves strawberries

(But ngl I just really wanted to know what people would say. I find some answers very reasonable, others quite debatable. But I'd also be interested in what Lemmy thinks is the best president the US has ever had)

This isn't crimes against humanity, it's just a special bombing operation. For testing you know. How else do you know your bombs work if not by dropping them on indochina or the middle east? 乁⁠|⁠ ⁠･⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠･⁠ ⁠|⁠ㄏ

Judging her type if I had to place a bet the next thing she's gonna do is trying to sue the next best (probably innocent) person for the biggest bullshit reasons just to feel better. (And maybe go to a more liberal state to get an abortion)

A consumer capitalist society that is focused to see infinite GDP growth is incompatible with saving the planet and collective health. Plus seeing the human being as a mere "resource" whilst promoting individualism is deeply cynical.

The capitalist ideal is that you can be yourself as long as you can afford it. "Oh so you like playing soccer? Sorry bud, but since you have a higher probability of getting injured you've to pay 100$ more than your neighbour who does not.", "Oh, you're playing video games after your 9-5 office job? Sorry, but you spend way too much time sitting, we will therefore not cover the cost of your knee operation. You should have done more exercise." is peak capitalism, you don't want to live the healthy most health efficient life then better start affording the cost your decisions bring. Meanwhile corporations try to blame their heavy usage of public infrastructure and the environmental impact of their cheaply produced goods on the individual so they can wind themselves out of paying taxes so their leadership & shareholders can get another sweet bonus even tho they all already own 3 yachts, 10 supercars and 5 private jets.

Why should anyone rationally thinking want to preserve a deeply unfair economic system like capitalism? The whole system only survives because people actually think they could become the next super rich guy by chance whilst in reality over 99,9% fail to come even close to that dream but still everyone thinks they're gonna be the 0,1%.

What I want is a system where you actually get the chance to make it from the bottom to the top if you are skilled enough. It starts by free public access to education & healthcare, investments into public transport with individual transport only for the last kilometre (or kilometres if you live in the countryside) and a social net for the jobless, homeless and retirees. Even better would be if the state would limit the amount of money the CEO can earn to max 5 times the minimum wage that the company pays and company bailouts at the cost of them becoming (partially) state owned. I have the luxury to live in Central Europe, where public services are in place but I've been watching the libertarians dismantling them step by step over the last few years.

My family experienced both socialism and capitalism and whilst they love the freedom of travel and the possibility to voice their opinion and go demonstrate they really miss the working atmosphere under socialism where "life was less hectic with more free time and people were friendlier and more helpful. Yes, we had to wait for certain products and maybe sometimes couldn't afford something but the neigbors would always be helpful and borrow their stuff if it arrived first and so would we borrow our stuff to our neigbors in return. The times were tough just like nowadays, but unlike today where we feel like being left alone we felt like going through them together." But sadly my granny also told me a lot of shit she experienced like that she lived near soviet barracks and they'd hold military roll calls at 6:00 am and if a non-soviet wasn't there they'd find them, take them into the backyard and beat the shit out of them whilst racially insulting them and like telling them to admit they were the inferior race because they had to be liberated. But I guess no military in the world is free of nationalist pigs (who else would want to die for their country anyways)?

And then there is me who keeps getting called both tankie and liberal.

This is the part where I would normally state my opinion in geopolitics but since both sides have their sources and "fact checks" I won't. I'm tired of this information war. The only geopolitical thing both sides (yes even the great majority of liberals) can actually agree on is the Palestinian genocide. The rest is split between Western and Anti-Western reporting with both sides having blind spots for sources favouring their side whilst denouncing the sources that do not fit their world views.

And whilst we - the economic left - are fighting an unwinnable war over geopolitics the economic right is making the economy less social whilst radicalising in nationalism and conservativism with every election.

Germans actually have a great ideological variety to choose from:

Pro West right wing conservatives

Anti West right wing conservative fascists

Pro West right wing progressives

Pro West left wing progressive social democrats

Pro West left wing progressive greens

Neutral but more anti west leaning left wing progressives (I think they are pro EU but anti NATO and anti war)

Anti West left wing conservative putin dickriders

Too bad they are either unsympathetic or have proven to be incompetent.
