The whole Israel thing was just the Democrat Party Establishment practicing how get away with supporting Fascism, abroad were Americans are safe from the consequences so it was easier to get away with it.
Now they're applying all that practice at home.
WE GOT HIM!
Not a dollar to the DNC or a DNC candidate.
Never, ever again.
The Republicans thank you for your commitment.
And they thank you for your compliance.
We're all making friends here aren't we.
But seriously, the party doesn't even respect the primary elections that I have been voting in as a registered democrat who has given many small-time donations and all of my votes over the years.
They didn't follow our own organizational rules, why should I trust them with my money? They already have my stinking vote.
You've given money to those leeches?
Honestly, I'm at the point where I support the full-on dissolution of the United States. There's just no coming back from this level of decay of political norms and culture. This isn't going to end without either a peaceful dissolution of the country or a civil war that kills millions of us. I say we just skip the civil war part, grant all 50 states independence, and let the states come back together into whatever new nation or collection of nations they wish to form.
lol, this is the kind of political thinking that results from an evening in a parent's basement zooted on edibles.
It's the cold sober realism that comes with looking at where we have been, where we are, and where we're headed. You're just in denial.
grant all 50 states independence, and let the states come back together into whatever new nation or collection of nations they wish to form.
Kind of reminds me of this map from the Unofficial Fallout TTRPG:
Here the 48 contiguous States are divvied up between 13 Commonwealths with Alaska being part of the Northwest and Hawaii being in the Southwest.
Something like that might actually work. There's a reason the oldest nations on Earth tend to be smaller geographically. Very large countries with vast regional differences in politics, needs, and desires tend to not be stable long term. Countries as big as the US tend to either break up or only maintain their integrity by collapsing into authoritarianism. You can force a dysfunctional union together with enough violence. But government is meant to serve the needs of the people, not the people the needs of the government. The federal government was created by human beings to serve our needs. Remember of the people, by the people, for the people? If our existing nation is no longer serving our needs, it's OK to let it go. We don't have to keep propping up this corpse of a nation just for the sake of tradition. Americans, as a people, aren't going anywhere. We'll still be Americans whether we share one state or many.
like they give a shit,
Their corporate and rich donors will give them some kickbacks as a thanks. which will be much more than any average citizens can pay.
I’ve voted against him every time he’s had a primary challenger for the last 26 years. Maybe we’ll finally get more people to show up in 2028. I’m sick of retirees picking my Senators.
Congratulations, dipshit [Schumer, not OP], you've done something perfectly counterproductive by (a) making it sound like (presumably) something that's less of a blatant Orwellian farce that turned people against it just because of the name, and (b) creating confusion that makes it harder to organize against it because now there are two different names out there.
its like senator klobaucher doing the flag bit, its called half-assing, pretend they are actually doing something when its too late.
I'm going to call my senator and ask him to stuff Chuck into a fucking locker.
And he came out against Zohran, too. Useless old bag. UPDATE - this was based on a list of Dems that weren't supporting* him that I saw on Lemmy elsewhere. Looks like Schumer has since congratulated him but still not endorsed him. I don't live online and have a job so excuse me for not updating immediately.
this has to be satire
2017 - this has to be satire
2018 - oh wow, I didn't know that was a thing
2019 - oh wtf nobody's going to stop him?
2020 - Oh cool, pandemic. He wants to inject bleach and horse juice. Cool cool cool.
2021 to 2024 - the great unfucking
2025 - haha we're so fucked
A bit bold there with the 21-24 bit, more like "the era of the bated breath"
ROFL Democrats are pretty useless these days...I've been calling my representatives, sending letters, and generally being more politically involved to make sure this terrible reconciliation bill dies in a fire. I hope to oust the republicans who represent Kansas too. They are so cursed and incompetent, spineless and weak in the face of donor daddies telling them what to do.
