The position as an at-large delegate for the Florida Republican Party will be the highest-profile political role thus far for Barron, former President Donald Trump’s youngest son.
It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.
Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.
…
In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.
That’s why they called it a “more perfect” union. They knew it was flawed which is why they gave us the ability to improve the system.
The fact that we haven’t isn’t on them it’s on us.
Yeah I don’t think being unable to fight against a system designed to be anti-democratic (like the Senate and the Electoral College, both anti-democratic institutions) is on us, buddy. But you do you and keep making excuses for violent, misogynistic, aristocracy-preserving, rapist dead men.
There is a direct line from them to Trump, if you can’t see it you’re naive or don’t want to see it.
We’d literally still be under a king without them. You should see a doctor about that myopia.
Unable or unwilling?
I’ve voted Democrat straight ticket for 25 fucking years. What has it gotten me, chucklefuck?
Those anti-democratic institutions still exist and we literally have conservative states just choosing to ignore Federal law now. But what do I know, I guess I’m not voting hard enough.
Oh goodie, you did the bare minimum and voted.
Have you involved yourself in actually improving the process?
Tell me please how I am supposed to be able to improve the process when I can’t make a dent in national politics? Once again, why is it our fault when the fucking system was designed that you can only get shit done with supermajorities, and that almost never happens?
I’ve done phone banking, I’ve been involved, and what I’ve seen is an uphill battle every step of the way and I’m not sure how an endless uphill battle is supposed to be viewed as “democracy.”
Maybe, just maybe, our democracy was designed to be dogshit from the get-go.
You’re not all wrong, but if your takeaway is to not even vote, you’re a suicidal fool.
If you took that as me saying I’m not going to vote, that says way more about your assumptions of people in my position than it does about me.
I never once said I wasn’t going to vote (I literally just mentioned I have voted straight Democratic ticket for 25 years). I’m just pointing out that voting and “being involved” doesn’t defeat a system that is designed anti-democratically to begin with. Things like the Senate, the EC, first-past-the-post-voting, and so on literally make it an uphill battle.
Once again, I never once said anything about not voting, those are words you chose to put in my mouth. Think about that for a bit, Mr. Projection.
Well, doing nothing but whining and attacking online and being a staunch defeatist is definitely doing a lot.
The electoral college system was actually designed to PREVENT people like Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump from getting elected. But it failed spectacularly and instead was the cause of this neofascist getting elected.
