I know that after you leave office as POTUS it is some sort of unwritten rule that you withdraw from politics.

Why did Trump not withdraw?

Also why isn’t he a senator or congressman during Biden’s term?

    It’s not typical just for the right around here, the left does it as well. Who does it more… I would speculate they both do equally.

      Can you give an example? All the ones I’ve seen are either from the (far) right, or a direct reaction to the (far) right bucking traditional rules.

          I didn’t really expect them to answer. 90% of the time you just get to watch them scuttle off to hide, like cockroaches from the light. 9% of the time you get soundbite diarrhea, which is easy to debunk.

          The last 1% can be interesting however. A well thought out counter argument to something I believe. It is a good check, to make sure I’m not the one in the bubble. It also lets me understand those on the other side of a debate. It’s reached the point where 1% is being generous, however.

        Yes I can. One of the prime ministers we had was convicted but abolished by president. He was in a left oriented party, the president was in the same one. He didn’t retire from politics, he went on to become our prime minister.

          Unfortunately, that is so stripped down that it’s impossible to analyse it in any reasonable way. It sounds like more run-of-the-mill corruption rather than bucking tradition though. Corruption is a problem of humanity, rather than just one side. Though even that seems a lot more prevalent and egregious in the right, right now.

            If you want the full story or details, PM me, I’ll disclose the names of the people and thus, the country I live in (which is what I’m trying to hide in this case).

      Just to be clear, your statement is disingenuous at best. You didn’t even provide a single example of evidence or fact to back up your claim, but used your own “speculation” as an ultimate authority. You really just sound like someone severely ill informed.

        Scroll down the comments, I did provide an example. If you want more details, PM me, we can discuss in private. I don’t want to disclose publically the country I live in.

            No, nothing like that.

            But we do have a flawed democracy implementation and greedy corrupted polititians.

              Why would I PM with you?

              I’m interacting with you on a public forum and if you don’t like to do that maybe Lemmy isn’t the right choice of social media for you.

                Because I already said I don’t want to disclose publicly where I live 😒 🤦.

                  Your instance and my instance admins can read PMs.

                  I can publicly post those pictures of our conversations.

                  Nauru is the smallest country by population and has 12 688 people so you still wouldn’t be doxxed.
