    Yes correct. Because fundamentally there is no significant difference between Democrats and Republicans. Money and favor buy votes across the aisle the same as it buys anything else regardless of political affiliation.

    So who will you vote for the next “election?” Supreme Führer Trump and his league of cartoonish evil, or the spineless cowards who will do nothing to make things better?

      dems are as crooked as the rest. nancy does insider trade since decades and chuck schumer is just evil ignoring what israel does. or remember the black fig leaf obama? nobody has ever ordered more deadly airstrikes in countries you are not at war with. i think this entire “american dream” thing was just metaphoric for a modern form of slaves and kings. just think of it: who were those that left europe for the new world? sleezebags, greedy goldsearchers…just ppl who were bad anyways. and thats what their entire fake culture is built on.

    I’m torn on this. Everything feels like more and more capitulation. But at the same time, this administration is absolutely fucking up negotiations with the world and with China. Shooting themselves in both feet over and over again.

    I think democrats should be filibustering every goddamn vote and slowing down the wave of fascism that we are drowning in. But I also think they should get the hell out of the way when their enemy is making a mistake.

    Blocking an ambassador to China right now probably wouldn’t accomplish much other than offer up the dems as a timely scapegoat for all of the consequences of Trump’s disastrous trade relations.

      All politics are performative. Blocking Trump’s appointments would be a sign that they’re willing to fight for democracy…but they aren’t., so they don’t.

      This is just more evidence that every time Dems blamed not being able to enact their promises on Joe Manchin, there were always going to be just enough Democratic “defectors” that their donors didn’t really have to worry.

      I’m forming a new party called the “Guillotines for anyone with more money than me party”

      We’ll guillotine anyone with more money than me. That’s my whole platform. I don’t have a lot but I’m comfortable. If you also don’t have a lot but you’re comfortable boy do I have the party for you!

    Hmmm, it’s like they’re all rich and know that in the end it’ll be fine for them under a fascist regime?

    I’m not an American, but I have to give the Trump supporters they are right about one thing: the Democrats do not seem interested in fixing their problems. Trump’s just honest about it 🤷

    It’s utterly baffling.

    This is how Democracy works. We had an election and America chose Trump. Hard to believe but it happened. America comes together to let that person lead until the next election, this is how America is supposed to work. It is sad that so many people don’t understand how the system should work.

      After 4 years straight of former-President Trump actively campaigning on a platform built exclusively on vilifying the sitting President, it’s time for unity ya’ll.

      The Republican party may have transitioned its entire platform into “fuck the democrats” and actively supported an insurrection but now that they’re in power again we gotta stand together behind the convicted fascist, because apparently that’s how democracy works.

      Democracy is dead in this country. Don’t believe me? Strange. How odd that elections are rigged when Republicans lose, but democracy is alive and well when they win.

        I never thought the election was rigged. Political rivals talking shit about eachother isn’t anything new. I’m not sure exactly what you are crying about but the election is over.

          Oh, okay. Political rivals talking shit. That’s what happened on January 6th.

          Just the President that you want everyone to support, talking so much shit that people died. You didn’t think it was rigged, but you want everyone to support the man who spent 4 years calling it rigged, constantly saying that democracy is dead and only he could “fix” it. The same man who personally sent his supporters to “fight like hell” and assault police and threaten congress to “fix” it.

          It’s so funny how people like you are so willing to support things you disagree with.

            I think everyone should support whomever wins the election as that is the will of the people. That is how democracy works. Whoever wins in 2028 I will do my part to support, that is my responsibility as a citizen that supports democracy.

              Right, and when the President commits crimes, attempts to overthrow his own elections, and says “you won’t need to vote anymore” that’s still democracy working as designed. Totally responsible to support that. For democracy.

    David Perdue not the worst option. Former politician, former CEO of Reebok. At least it’s a businessman and not a Xenophobe, any aggression between the US and China I think will be very squarely not his fault.
