The more I read your comment the more insane it sounds. The Dems never had a majority in congress. They had the senate, not the house. The senate can’t do shit if the house isn’t aligned. A VP’s role is not the same as a president and her powers were very limited. Regardless we’re splitting hairs over these things.
ACA is on the chopping block with Trump in control of all executive branches of government. They have no healthcare plan.
We will see what happens, but please stop bullshitting me.
I did make some factually inaccurate statements. Sure.
However, I still stand by my point and my point is strongly reinforced by far less people being excited enough to go vote for Kamala than previous candidates.
But you have to realize just how little the Dems were offering, right? IMO, you have to be fairly wealthy not to see the suffering happening in this country. All the Dems did was tell people that their lived experience was not real and point the finger at Trump. They were utterly impotent. They could have lied like Obama did about Single Payer and government transparency and NO ONE would have noticed. But she couldn’t even do that. Couldn’t even PRETEND to hear anyone out. It was baffling.
Additionally, Biden is basically braindead. So, I can’t quite fathom how you convince yourself that he’s running the country…or has been for a few years now.
I am not bullshitting you. You should try to see me as a mirror that you refused to look in throughout 2024 and should probably start to rethink the tribalism and two party bullshit you’re perpetuating.
The fight is and always has been the rich vs. the poor. We have lost major ground because we allowed identity politics to take hold. We signed away our country to corporations of the world…and the few of us that realize this are trying to wake you (otherwise intelligent) people up.
If you don’t see that, you’re lost and I’m wasting my time.
So, considering the stranglehold the two party system has on American politics…what was the right answer?
Vote for a third party candidate, that is systemically prevented from attaining a position?
Yeah the Democratic Party is tragically obsessed with pandering to the right and holding their “moderate” position; but damage control is damage control.
The right answer is to end the stranglehold. I live in a blue state, so being utterly unrepresented (and it not mattering much in the cogs of the machine) has been my default since 2016.
Honestly, my opinion of this country since our two party system installed Trump for the first time BECAUSE the Democrats flat out told us that they refuse to represent labor has been that of a sinking ship.
Bernie had more grassroots support than any candidate in my lifetime and was flat out cheated out of the nomination. Once they legally defended themselves against accusations of election fraud by saying they don’t need to be fair, I have FULLY checked out. And I tend to have a cynical laugh at anyone who hasn’t…
I continue, election cycle after election cycle trying to convince people that we are in a sham democracy and people laugh at me and ridicule me and block me and tell me how wrong I am while I watch Kamala do her best impression of Bush Sr. circa 1981 and Trump go off the Ted Nugent deep end SOLELY BECAUSE OF the utterly corrupt crop of democrats that are the standard in this country. By the way, corporate America loves to recruit minority sleeper cells to try and wokewash away their corporatism
