Ideally, I’d love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren’t in charge.

    The beauty of voting Democrat or Republican is that you have no real, solid political ideals.

    They can change on a whim, based on convenience or whatever your favorite MSM news broadcast just told you, and the best part is you probably aren’t even aware of your own hypocrisy.

        In your willingness to compromise your stated principles, 100%.

        Oh, wait. I do recall when Democrats demanded that Biden be removed as the candidate for his creepy behavior toward women and his enthusiastic support of genocide. My mistake.

              I did, it is a ratio 100 to 1 of complaining about the Democrat party and then a casual mention of Trump.

              Hey, I get it. You are disillusioned. I don’t like the Democratic party either, but they don’t literally hate our country and want all brown people expelled.

                but they don’t literally hate our country and want all brown people expelled.

                What they do or don’t hate is immaterial, because they’re content to stand by and become collaborators to the fascists, as evidenced by their contentment to do nothing other than performative nonsense like sternly-worded letters. They’re even fighting actual agents of change harder, like Mamdani and the guy in Maine.

                Further, it was their own embrace of fascist powers that made Donald’s speedrun possible in the first place.

                So yes, you bet I hate them. But I hate Republicans too.

                  You definitely hate the Democratic Party. That is your focus and the party who has spent the last forty years screaming hate gets no real flak from you. I grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh, so I am acutely aware how long this has been going on.

                  Everything he said is what is happening now. It is kind of crazy really.

                  If there ever was a party to hold us accountable for being imperialist fascist assholes it would be the Democratic party. Considering the wealthy completely control them currently (like everything) I won’t hold my breath.

                    That’s not true. You’re just lazy.

                    If there ever was a party to hold us accountable for being imperialist fascist assholes it would be the Democratic party.

                    Wrong. Obama left office with war in seven countries (that we know of), normalized drone strikes to such an extent that he killed American citizens, and dropped 26,000 bombs just in 2016. Biden left office having enthusiastically supported genocide and war crimes targeting civilians and kids.

                    The only difference between Democrats and Republicans now is messaging. That is it.

          Actually I’m Finnish and pretty fucking angry at my own president for trying to act like your less than coherent orange dictator is a human being worth talking to. I didn’t vote for him either, but whatever.

          As for your politics, I would’ve been happy if ya’ll would’ve given Warren a chance. She’s pretty normal in the grand scheme of things. She’s wealthy, sure, but she didn’t come from money.

          Your take is decidedly worse than anything else though; “I don’t like either choice so I’m going to help the worst one win and you’re all stupid!”.
