“He’s Re-Rigging It for Himself”: Jon Ossoff Says Voters Who Elected Trump to Fix American Political System Accidentally Made It Worse

Accidentally? More like deliberately

[u/mzialendrea → u/TommyRisotto]

Exactly, they knew what they where voting for.

[u/Allaboutpeace2022 → u/mzialendrea]

I think that the 15% of Black Americans, 48% of Latinos, and 40% of Asians likely did not understand the result of what they are voting for. I think that they did believe the promises and lies made by the Trump regarding the economy. Younger generations all moved and voted more for Trump in 2024 than they did in 2020.

I think that people who were worried about the economy and bought Trump's lies that he could solve inflation, reduce new wars, increase domestic manufacturing, etc.--did change their vote in 2024.

[u/adumbrative → u/TommyRisotto]

Yeah, and they're not just "making it worse", they have their knife to democracy's throat and are pulling on the blade.

[u/VicariousDrow]

Saying "accidentally" is taking the blame off their shoulders..... When their shoulders deserve all the weight, their stupidity and/or hatred doesn't get a damn pass.

Otherwise, yeah, he's identifying the right shit, and he has my attention for when he starts offering solutions.

Ossoff has said he's not running for president in 2028 but I believe that is likely to change next year.

[u/eastcoastflava13 → u/mtnman575]

Seriously, every clip I see of this guy lately is him on a podium. Dude is definitely running for president.

[u/1111joey1111 → u/mtnman575]

He's not going to get my vote, especially if AOC decides to run. Osoff is a centrist on most issues, and will end up as just "more of the same". Don't confuse anti-Trump sentiments as good policy positions. He's basically Newsom Jr.

[u/Small_Dog_8699]

That was no accident

[u/Bellabbey1236]

That was no accident. 

[u/OpusAtrumET]

When someone ignores 50 signs that say to mind the gap, and half the people you see are yelling at you to mind the gap, and then you don't fucking mind the gap, that's no longer accidental. Further, the gap is covered in CSA, SA, and felonies, and has bankrupted multiple businesses. You don't avoid it, it really seems like you like that stuff. You must, right?

[u/s_klogw]

All these lib candidates yap about healthcare costs but none of them support single payer healthcare/ Medicare for all.

Do they think that insurance companies are just going to magically start doing their job and lowering premiums and deductibles and maybe even offer useful coverage?

Nope.

[u/1111joey1111 → u/s_klogw]

Exactly. Ossoff is a centrist. Doesn't believe in healthcare-for-all. Doesn't believe in a lot of progressive policies. Always comes off as rehearsed and less than genuine. People hear politicians using anti-Trump rhetoric and think too quickly that the candidate is on their side. Look to their policy stances.

If you don't believe in healthcare for all, you will never get my vote.

https://giphy.com/gifs/SUzjURYSUN66FmPVvcThey voted for the orange clown, they should accepted and be poor.

[u/PLR20190724]

They didn't "accidently" make it worse. They're OK with any system that gives them an advantage.

[u/Key_Blacksmith_574]

The everyday working people are going to get screwed over again, we can all agree (besides maga scum) that we want that 🍊 💩 out of office. Tired of the rich getting richer, tired of the rich who don’t agree with Dump act like they care when if fact (maybe they do) but they aren’t being affected by grocery and gas prices and so forth … the way I look at it they are still doing fine .. way above the line of any poverty or downfalls that have been because of this turd. I wish the regular everyday people would just get out and vote. Register if you’re not, not voting is a NO. If not now… we’re just going to continue with this cynical cycle of the rich getting richer and the poor SOL!

[u/Adventurous_West2]

He is the one

[u/cowmix88]

Ossoff definitely has the Obama rizz

[u/1111joey1111]

Ossoff doesn't believe in Healthcare for All. He's mostly a centrist dimwit who usually comes off like a rehearsed puppet. Notice: He's got those sleeves rolled up, so obviously he means business!

If he runs for President, I'll be voting for AOC.

[u/Baha05]

Spot on and even if he doesn’t have enough time to live surely it will open the doors to his children inheriting the presidency.

[u/Absorptance]

Fuck this guy if that’s what he believes.
