President Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 memorial ceremony.

The president dozed off at multiple points during the event Friday, slumped over in his chair with his eyes closed and his head hanging down while everyone else onstage—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Melania Trump, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—was clearly awake.

Surely the point of voting is to actually vote for the political party you want ? Or is it not a democracy in US?

you can democratically vote for the fascist party, you can choose what speed they get there, that's it.

It's not a democracy in the US. You vote for who you really want in the primaries. In the general there are only two viable options.

Except you can't since the primaries are also rigged

Seems like there was only one viable option

That really comes down to how we're defining viable.

Well Harris clearly wasn't viable
