We in c/Neoliberal support:

Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on.

MODERATORS
 

At one of his rallies, Donald Trump declared:

“And by the way, Kamala will not be your first,” Donald Trump pauses and there this audible booing from the crowd to Kamala’s name, “Female President. She will not be your first female President!”

As the crowd continues to boo Kamala, Trump continues:

”It’s not the way it’s supposed to be, we’re not supposed to have a socialist.” Trump begins to motion his hands back and forth as he’s known to, “Look, we’re not gonna be a socialist nation, we’re not gonna have a socialist President, especially a female, socialist President. We’re not gonna have it, we’re not gonna put up with it. It’s not gonna happen.”

Edit: Changed the block quote to better match Trump’s wording.

It goes without saying that one of Donald Trump’s only consistent character traits is that he’s a liar; Kamala Harris is not a socialist.

Regardless, Trump is visibly disturbed at the prospect of the United States having a female President.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's pretty obvious at this point that he's disturbed by the thought of anyone but him becoming president.

[–] JustZ 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's because if he loses he's going to prison.

Plus doesn't he owe an astronomical amount of money to Deutsche Bank?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Remember, the real winner in the game of thrones was always going to be the Iron Bank.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit 2 points 4 months ago

Close, it's actually "douche bank". He tried to pay them back with Junior and Eric but the teller couldn't make change.

Pootie’s got him covered.

[–] Coffee_Addict 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Oh, definitely. It’s his only chance to escape justice.

It’s just that now his sexism is permeating his rhetoric in ways more blatant than before. He could have just said

”We’re not gonna have a socialist President.”

But instead, he said

”We’re not gonna have a socialist President, especially a female

He placed special emphasis on the fact that Kamala is a “female”. He is really uncomfortable with the fact that Kamala is a woman lol.

Edit 1 & 2: changed phrasing to better match what Trump actually said.

If socialist is the best he can come up with, he must be getting old.

Trump in October: We already had a (n-word) President. Can you imagine a (n-word) FEMALE President?

Wearing a bed sheet, fucking couch cushions, we need to get this man away from furniture! /s

That would certainly be an October surprise.

Didn't know Kamala wanted to nationalize the means of production. Finally the USA is doing good stuff!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

That would be based as fuck, unfortunately it's another case of Republicans making a centre right Democrat look better than they are.

[–] eran_morad 8 points 4 months ago

Orange bruh fucked.
