    one of the most annoying things is even if we get a “blue wave” and get maga out of the presidency and congress you know that two years in they will be loudly blaming whoever is president and the democrats as we are not doing great with all the infaltion and being an isolated country whos currency is becoming regional.

      Does a strict two party system even constitute a democracy? There’s so little incentive to do what the people want when the worst punishment is that you only have to wait until the other party fucks up worse than you did and then you’re back in the game. In the meantime, just sit tight and snipe from the sidelines.

      The Republican Party needs to cease to exist for what it’s done. I don’t know how that could happen but I don’t see a bright future for the world if they’re still around when the next Dem President starts to become unpopular.

      If the democrats win as well as we’re expecting they COULD take down billionaires and mass media propaganda machines that’s behind all these right-wing movements…but I’m betting they won’t. They probably won’t abolish ICE, they won’t stuff the supreme court, they won’t cut off Israel, they won’t roll back the insane power of the POTUS and executive branch, etc, etc.

      This country is fucked for a generation at least, or as long as this two party government remains intact.

        Y’all keep saying democrats as if democrats are one unified party.

        its not.

        Its 37 parties in a trench coat.

        Thats the problem with the democrats. Its basically a Chimera built out of everything thats not-republican, and thats down largely to our two party system of bullshit.

        Yeah controlled opposition tends not to bite the hand that feeds.

        They have their own funders, and you’ll be upset when you find out who they are. (Hint: it’s the same people, give or take a few)

      Yeah, when the Dems take back the power, and have to clean up the unholy mess that MAGA will leave, there will be very loud opposition, and the Dems are going to have to get over their obsession for politeness to traitors, and learn to employ the phrase “SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
