4 more years of trump will make things worse than 4 years of lovely joe biden.

that’s true considering the supreme court alone.

Once again, the senate determines this more than the presidency does

Is there any reason Trump could run again against Biden in 4 years? Are term limits consecutive or cumulative?

he absolutely can run he has not hit any term limits

he’d have to win the primary again though, which should be hard in theory after losing a general election, but the republicans would just run ted cruz and marco rubio against him

we’ll probably see him run in the primaries until he dies

assuming they are both still alive, in 4 years biden will be 82 and probably deep enough into dementia that he'll be arguing with plants, and trump will be 78 and either coming off of or on the verge of a heart attack given his obesity

cumulative

quote:

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

though technically someone who has been elected twice could run again still. there's nothing there saying they can't be nominated, just that they can't be elected.

there's this psychological concept called splitting where a person is incapable of seeing nuance in a person's actions or personality. in the most common form, people are split into Good and Bad, and never the twain shall meet; a Good person is inherently good and nothing they do can be bad, and a Bad person is inherently bad and nothing they do can be good.

when presented with reality -- that everyone does both good and bad things at different times, and that there are degrees of goodness and badness -- the splitter has to come up with hypocritical or illogical justifications to maintain consistency.

1) person did a bad thing once
2) Good people do good things and Bad people do bad things
3a) therefore person must be Bad, and by point 2 nothing they do from now on can be Good; they're pure evil
3b) but i can't believe this person would be Bad, therefore what the person did to me must actually be Good

babies are born with this understanding of the world (at least, once they develop enough to understand good and bad), but grow out of it in early childhood. it appears in adulthood in various mental disorders like borderline personality disorder and some autism spectrum disorders.

anyway, i don't know why i'm posting this in the context of people trying to figure out joe biden, or anything. i do ramble

it helps if you understand that canada is not necessarily better than the us in a lot of ways, we're just generally three to five years behind the american zeitgeist. we can and will see a cancon version of trumpism here in the next year or so, the new federal conservative party leader is already starting to make speeches advocating populist protectionism.

what the gently caress is wrong with you

most biden voters (the ones who scream that i simply must vote for joe biden to prevent facism from taking over america) seem to argue that even though joe biden doesn't support any of the policies that would benefit me such as student loan forgiveness nor policies that would ensure the world will remain livable such as the green new deal, it's still better to have him in office than trump. the only rational reason i can think for this is because you believe that electing biden over trump will somehow own the trump supporters, because you hate them.

perhaps you believe that joe biden will be a good president and have good policies; to which i would say, could you please point to any evidence you have for this? he's notably said that my generation needs to stop complaining, told people who believed the woman that accused him of rape that they should vote for someone else, that he'd veto medicare for all, that he'd increase funding for police, that he loves fracking... this is just what i've got off the top of my head, I'm sure I could go find more. but none of those positions sound great to me, in fact, they sound a lot like what donald trump has been doing for the past four years.

trump's not going a god drat thing. he's literally doing nothing at all. it's mitch and the circuit court judges and the county sheriffs.

regarding, absolutely vote THEM out. but to pretend that leaving all 11 layers of chud governance intact between a citizen and the president, and only changing the latter will do anything at all, i don't know what to tell you about that take.

the republican senate literally stole a scotus appointment from obama and was rewarded with, what, 700+ chudge confirmations that sailed through on voice vote by schumer? but surely all that comity and goodwill and decorum got some covid relief or something, right? oh, the republicans blocked it for insufficiently fellating corporations? hm.
