Welcome to all not wanting to vote, not able to vote or just annoyed by the US presidential election taking over Lemmy and other social media.

Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Be kind to each other & follow the server rules.

Be specifically aware that not everyone here is from the so called USA.

MODERATORS
 

Text: screenshot of a Tumblr thread reading:

Every day I am forced to confront that the the Democratic Party won the White House and Congress in 2020 and instead of doing the smart thing and ending the filibuster, packing the court, and going scorched Earth on the GOP which, mind you, had just tried to overthrow the election, they kicked back and proceeded to do absolutely nothing of note except cut a blank check for the most televised genocide of the last 30 years.

A disciplined party could have un-fucked everything trump did in the span of a few month, but they chose not to. They chose not to, and now we're all paying for it.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

The Republicans sure dona great job of getting everything they want with a ghoul in the white house and a split Congress. So why can't the Democrats?

Republicans have 53 seats in the senate whereas in 2020 dems had 48.

That and republicans are all spineless yes men who are in lockstep with the maga platform, they don't really have any """moderates""" like the Dems have.

even when they have moderates, which in this context is anyone not completely maga bonkers, even then they toe the line.
