Stop blaming Democrats for the inability of the Republicans to govern. They made this mess and I'm not going to sit by while some dumbass like you tries to blame everybody but them.

We certainly do, but you wouldn't catch me voting for that Russian stooge after everything that went down in 2016.
"WE NEED MORE HUMANS FOR THE HUMAN CRUSHING MACHINE" -GOP
I'm calling it right now. We missed our chance to kick him out of office we are going to miss our chance to see him answer for his crimes. He will be elected president through cheating, gerrymandering, and anything they can try. After that we will only have elections as a facade and we will be ruled by a right wing oligarchy. Probably will resemble Russia in the most part. Ukraine will be given to Russia and the us will help make that happen. Israel will get even bolder because the Christian right want to bring on the apocalypse. A new world order will be born with China and Russia at the front. This made possible because they will succeeded in neutering the us by helping install a useful idiot in trump and all the other Republicans that are on the pay roll. Buckle up because shit is about the get even worse. We haven't even started on how right wing governments are absolutely terrible with dealing with any outside threat because they are so fucking corrupt. Climate change is going to devistste the entire plant and these right wing ass holes will only make it worse and worse until it's way past redeemable. The wars that are going to start over territory and resources will be like no conflict this plant has ever seen.
The world needs more than entrepreneurs though and those people deserve a living wage.
No no no... We need to throw the CEO's in the volcano. We don't need CEO's but I'm sure someone needs you.
This just reeks... What does this add to the conversation. Guess what they all suck and I don't think we need to downplay the atrocities brought on by the Chinese and Russian governments.
Oh I am far from apathetic. I am fucking pissed off and nothing will stop me from getting to the voting booth along with my SO. However, I am not optimistic for the USA or the world at this point. I hope I am wrong but as far as I can tell we are headed in the wrong direction all over the globe. Millions and millions of people are turning towards authoritarian governments. You have a very very loud minority in our country that wants to install a christofascist government and Im pretty sure they aren't going anywhere and will do anything for power.
Well I say conservatives shouldn't be in the military because they aren't sure if they are America or Russian and could launch missiles on everyone.
That looks like a really fun way to drown.
Before 2016 I was definitely in the camp of looking at both major parties as well as any third parties. I was voting for who I thought was the best despite whatever party they were in.
However, 2016 really opened my eyes to what the Republican party is. They are a party that isn't allowed to have different ideas. You follow the party line and do what you are told or you will be kicked out. Even republicans I thought might have cared for this country would have taken a stance but they didn't. They tucked their tails and bent the knee.
I will never ever vote for a Republican. I can see clear as day what they are now and it isn't good. They aren't able to hide who they are anymore.
You can have debates in the Republican party. You can in the democratic party. Which unfortunately makes the Dems a weaker party because it isn't a cult you are allowed to have a different opinion. The democratic party is basically all the sane adults that are left. It's not just the "left" anymore it's those in the center or those who didn't go far right with the Republicans. The Dems will spend the next year attacking each other and fighting within the party because they aren't unified and told what to think by one leader. So not all Dems will turn out.
It seems voter like to dismiss everything the democratic party does if they don't line up with them completely on every issue. The voters find one reason to vote for Republicans and ignore the rest of party line.
Well then please by all means go jump into a volcano. I'm so sorry I even suggested you do differently.
How do we even go about organizing ourselves in a way that doesn't get us put on some watchlist. Which I'm probably on now for even asking.
It honestly feels like its time to take the gloves off. This only ends in violence. They don't understand anything else.
They don't want a health society. If we are happy and fulfilled then we aren't as easily manipulated.
Girl is getting paid to help them for sure.
Lots of people said something similar in 2016. Don't underestimate the America public and the GOP to find a way to put the worst possible person in power.
Just watch trump will win and he will get away with all his legal troubles. Ukraine will fall, Gaza will be nothing but sand and death, and our democracy will take it's last dying breath as we fully become an oligarchy.
Or maybe Biden will win but probably not.
The USA's days as a "democratic republic" are numbered. The only thing we can do is slow down the decent a little bit. Don't fool yourself that this country isn't on a fast track to christofascism. Its game man. Not only are we dealing with it from within we also have china and Russia foaming at the mouth with how successful their propaganda has been. 40 percent of this country is cheering it on and can't wait to become the spitting image of Russia.
Things are going to get a lot worse and I think it will happen faster than you think. Look how fast Florida took..... It was a swing state not long ago. Now it's one of the testing spots for how fascism will work in this country.
If you aren't a white Christian male you better figure out how to pretend to be one. Or at the very least get out of red states while you can if you can.
Because it doesn't seem like anybody in this country is willing to really fight against it. Off to the next thing I'm outraged about for a week and then moving on.
The new world order is coming and it's going to suck even worse.
Vote like your life depends on it because it just might.
The supreme Court is now an illegitimate institution.
This is genius and I absolutely love it! This immediately made my mood better.
Third time's a charm little slow on that one.
Yeah I get that sorry about the name calling I'm just burnt out with this shit and angry. I guess it gets old always watching the Republicans fuck up left and right but the Democrats have to clean it up with little to no praise.
He literally goes on the news and trys to blame all this stuff on Democrats and then he needs them to save his job. Democrats are just supposed to bail them out of their inability to do anything correctly.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Yeah maybe the Democrats should step in and save the Republicans one more time. Then they can go on network television and continue to blame Democrats and give them no credit for keeping the government open.
Maybe they feel like it's time Republicans finally deal with the consequences of their actions. Maybe some America's will wake up and see for themselves how dysfunctional that party really is.
However, in retrospect we will probably find out you're right and that whatever we get after this is going to be worse than what we had. The enemy you know is better than one you don't.
Russia is just going to keep going the West has proven it self as weak and full of fear. All Russian had Todo was wait and use propaganda campaigns all over the Internet. Soon Trump will be president again and Putin will get everything he wants.
You are being way too sensitive to the fact that they're Muslim and not the fact that they're terrorists. People are upset that the terrorist killed and raped people.
Yoskovich managed to survive, but a report from Alerta News 24 contains allegations that some women were raped in the rave area of the festival, next to the corpses of their friends.
These are the articles that people are referencing about the rape allegations. This seems to be coming from somebody who was at the festival and survived. Were you at the festival and survived and have a different first-hand take?
The police auction is going to be lit.
I'm not throwing in the towel I'm just looking at the facts of what happens to rich white men in this country. He has found a way out of everything. People have been saying he's goong to prison since 2016. They don't call him Teflon don for nothing. I hope to see him pay for his crimes but I think it's more likely he cheats to become president again and then it will all just go away. He also has the backing of the supreme Court and the Dems have a really hard time holding seats in Congress because we aren't playing a fair game.
It's only going to keep getting worse. Are we ever as a people going to get together and stop these people in power who are selling our planet off for short term profits. When will people get angry enough. I know I am. So what do we do?
Oh okay I didn't realize all I had Todo was overthrow a government with the most powerful military in the world and just aspire a little harder.
Thanks so much for that insightful comment I should be able to get this all done by Wednesday. Thanks for the bullet proof plan.
I vote in the primaries, I vote in every election, I try my best to get everybody around me to vote as well. I'm trying to work within the system so we can try to change it for the better while we still can.
Now this is a content I've 🫘 waiting for!
I do have hope because it's hard to live without it. I'm probably a little jaded because I live in a predominantly red area. I'll just keep voting and doing my best to get others to vote as well. Also planning on going to some school board meetings soon if it works with my schedule.
Yes I have offspring
I hope people remember what it was like and what was done under that president and what that party has done lately. I worry people have either stop paying attention or have grown apathetic. That's what will lead to trump again because we have to come out in large numbers to counteract all the Tom foolery they're going to be up to.
They not only don't have to worry about an armed mob they have their own armed mob who will literally try and overthrow the government for them.
They keep getting away with everything. They will find a way to wiggle out of anything because they are willing to do anything without giving a second thought to morality or legality.
They want power they get power and are willing to kill you for it. Then they will dismantle our entire country and sell it to the highest bidder.
We should be dragging this fuckers into the streets and start beating them with their own coin purses.
This is great for those over 65. It's a start I'd like to see it happen for everybody. I'm sure even this tiny bit of progress will be fought tooth and nail by every f****** Republican. They're just so goddamn f****** evil.

Oh would you look at that........ Downvote but you don't have shit to say do you?
You are correct I was mostly adding that because that aids in their ability to steal power away from the majority. I guess I could have just said cheating as that is a good blanket term for what they do.
I didn't see anyone in the above comments saying Muslims are rapist. Obviously deeming an entire group of people to be rapist is not only wrong but blatantly racist. As far as I was reading people were just talking about the reports coming out from the festival attack.
I believe people were talking about the reports coming out from first hand accounts of survivors. If you want to dispute those claims that's fine but you shouldn't go around calling everybody racist because they are discussing the news that they read. I would try to just warn people to be careful of what they are reading because there is going to be a lot of misinformation and fog of war going on.
I get getting angry though I'm sure you have had to deal with some nasty people and comments all your life and that just isn't right. This is a really touchy and controversial topic and it's easy for conversations to turn into yelling.
I get what you are saying and I think everyone is just so angry and that makes them defensive. The only path a lot of people see is thru the system we have and making change with in it. So the best path to that change is the democratic party and people are sick of hearing the argument that they are just the same. They aren't the same at all. However just because the other political part is irredeemable doesn't mean we can't be critical of "our" side. The Democrats are an obvious better choice but they still have a lot of problems that need to be addressed. We just need to make sure we keep what democracy we have and work to make it stronger.
Oh really.... said no one who was paying attention.
I hope you are right and this time we can get a least some justice for all the damage and crimes he has done.
Yeah and being really confident about a win worked in 2016 didn't it........
Yeah that's great and all love the sentiment but that's all it is. This shit is almost game over. The right has already shown they with show up armed and attempt a coup. That's not even mentioning how much they are cheating and no one seems to be stopping them.
They learned from the best over in Russia.
