Its just basic common sense that a brain-worm riddled zombie person shouldnt be allowed to serve as a health secretary, yet here we are

But what if you are a domestic enemy trying to destroy a country, its population, and their future?

I played COD MW2 in highschool so by these standard I far exceed the qualifications needed to head up DOD. Just give me a call or something.

Do you have a large piece of gold laying around to gift the president?

I've heard that sometimes he settles for a handjob.

In the fifth grade I won a mock trial defending a fictional character from a children's book. I believe this legal experience qualifies me for AG.

That's far more relevant experience to a role than this guy has. You're disqualified. Now, let's talk about loyalty above all else. How do you feel about that, and bribes..how much can you give ?

Wait, the guy that dumped a dead fucking bear cub in central park? The guy that SAWED OFF a fucking whales head and mounted it to the top of his car?
He's... He's what now? He has a job in the government?
Sounds like a shitty fucking government.

Wait until you hear who hired him.

That's a pretty harsh thing to say to a poor worm that is really trying their best. People stuff is hard, so many needs and wants.

You don't need to be a clinician to know that he's an uninformed idiot.

Good on Bernie, but nothing will actually come of it until Schumer sends a strongly worded letter.

When I first heard of him, I had an open mind, and then I heard him speak.
His voice sounds like years of chain smoking, drinking, and shoddy home first aid.
Idk why anyone would listen to and see him speak and think "wow he can be trusted to help us be healthier".
tomenzgg@midwest.social · 5 pts · 356d
Because most of us were aware that his voice was due to a neurological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.
Don't get be wrong, there's still a long list of reasons based on his actions and public past behavior as to why he shouldn't've been considered.

It makes me think about the powers who put that silver spoon bastard into that department.
He is there to serve those who want their beliefs confirmed, by getting rid of the sciences and fattening the MLM cows.

Yeah he’ll get right on that, Bernie again being all bark. Please Americans find a young leftist, someone who is under 80

Yeah, if Bernie were a real bro he'd show some bite by gnawing on RFK Jr. until the worm tells him to resign. Take some damn initiative for once!

I understand your sentiment but democrats still need a younger voice in congress. Nothing against Bernie but we need someone younger to take charge. I was hoping AOC would but haven't heard much about her recently.
I hate Trump but one thing he did was build a popular base and democrats have none. A lot of people say these are best practices but whose going to implement them? Democrats need someone to rally around...
DiskCrasher@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 356d
Trump didn't "build" a base, he and the GOP just manipulated what was already there. His supporters willingly drink the Kool-Aid fed to them daily by Faux News.

He's constantly introducing legislation that reflects what he says. What do you expect him to do? Strange these people with his bare hands?

He does that also. He spoke in the small decaying city I live in and hosted a rally featuring many local mutual aid organizations and leaders. This was about a month ago. Then there was a large block party outside the venue in the alley where everyone could mingle and connect over what he just spoke about.

Definitely not, but as far as what an old man can do, this is it. So I'm not mad at him.

My issue is, why say you want old white men out of politics while asking for Bernie.
Second issue he can’t win. He can’t even win the support of one party let alone the country. Move on already, what are you gonna wait till hes dead before you look for someone younger?
pupbiru@aussie.zone · 9 pts · 356d
because whilst people want old white men out of politics, people also want his kind of politics in government and he’s the only one principled enough to have fought for it long term
a single attribute doesn’t entirely nullify all other positive attributes… things are grey; not binary
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 356d
Wasnt he trying to get the Democratic nomination? Don’t that make him evil to you?
pupbiru@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 356d
if you want to make a difference in politics in the US, you either become a democrat president or a republican president. the US has a 2 party system: that’s just reality. there’s no way an independent ever becomes president
and simply being a democrat doesn’t make someone evil either… again, thinking 3rd parties are going to change anything at all in an FPTP system is ignorant of the realities of how the system works… so you are either not a politician, a democrat, a republican, or siphoning votes from your ideologically closest major candidate thus damaging the ideology you’re purporting to fight for… there’s only 2 choices: give up and let the neoliberal shit show win the game, or be a democrat

Lemmy is full of the opposite of what you’re saying, the American left decided that democrats are worse than trump, anyone with a D may as well have a swastika if you look at the threads when a Democrat finally fights back.
End of the day i just want your country to die honestly, karma for what you did to me and countless others
pupbiru@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 356d
well, i’m not american… i assume that’s what you mean, since there’s not often a lot of hate for australia
and i think that people are allowed to have both nuanced opinions of others, and act in nuanced ways
