Former President Donald Trump urged members of a crowd in Florida to vote and said that if he wins, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”

Speaking at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach on Friday, Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost, delivered a cryptic message.

“And again, Christians, get out and vote!” he said to a cheering audience. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

    Democracy is an overrated concept - truth cannot be achieved through consensus but by the will and conviction of one.

        Akshally, I agree that democracy with votes is flawed at best.

        Consensus is not it, but it’s also bad in the situations where you have to make some decision. It favors sabotage.

        Democracy through sortition and (ranked) vote combined is my favorite concept, with a lot of things being left to voluntary contracts with exterritorial jurisdictions, like a few states inside one in the same territory, where you can choose between a jurisdiction of ancoms, a jurisdiction of Christians, a jurisdiction of crackheads and so on.

          no, don’t oversell it; it was a normal contribution… it just looks most excellent when juxtaposed with your inane ramblings.

      Truth, Trump, pick one. Dude sharpies hurricanes. Also a weird goal for government. Would our leaders telling the truth be a good thing? Oh yeah, but “truth” won’t help the hungry.
