He breaks the law every fucking day
It's easy to break. Illegal fire people and they leave and never come back even when court rules it was illegal. That's time and knowledge lost
Voting red, 3rd party or not voting is what had pushed us farther right.
The system is broken it takes a fraction of voters in smaller red states to control the majority in congress.
Hopefully the razor thin margins from gerrymandering will backfire and well have a massive blue win and finally have some sanity back.
Push for progressive people in the primaries, but never throw away your vote or don't vote against fascism and the right. That is just stupid and costs millions of lives.
False, and I predicted it in September 2024, when Kamala Harris' entire campaign was a meme about joy. What's driving people to the right is the fact that they don't have the time, energy, or money to do anything other than work three jobs for 100 hours a week and still can't afford to rent an apartment. Blue MAGA has done just as much as Red MAGA to make this our reality, or have you forgotten how Obama stood by while the NYPD brutalized Occupy and declined to prosecute any of the bankers in 2008? (And instead rewarded them.)
Many of these people are old enough to remember when the world wasn't like this, so not only are their lives empty, but they understand what's been taken from them and are hopeless.
The only people who care are DSA's, and Democrats have fought harder against DSA's than they do against Republicans.
Ah yes not voting for harris was a great call thanks for trump again dumbass
You want to know why the dems go after republican voters? Because they actually show up (but still vote for rapists)
If people actually voted for the better of two candidates/ blue no matter who / lesser evil always, we'd never have Republicans and 30 years of them gutting regulations, and lowering quality of life. Instead people get upset dems can fix everything Republicans break in a year and vote them out of power every time.
Not voting, voting 3rd party for someone who won't get more than 10% is what causes this, not those voting dems.
They arent anywhere near perfect, but everyone's lives would be so much better without Bush, Trumps and other republicans in office, especially at local and state levels.
