If the last 10 years have proven anything, it's that Americans are REEEEEEAAAAALLY fucking stupid.
Whether the majority of America disapproves of this fascist or not, it's a nation of dimwits and we're going to keep voting against ourselves. It's why we're here to begin with. Trump didn't make any of this happen. He's a fucking idiot. We did it to ourselves, because too many of us are beyond stupid.
Sorry for being a downer, but I expect this ship to keep sinking for the remainder of my life. I've seen too much stupid to believe otherwise.
70% literacy rate or so. But I also quit giving a shit, America is done.
I've stopped caring, since the planet is boiling anyway.
America has Dorian Grey'd itself, and now the painting is dumping all the trauma back. The world isn't far behind.
It all came as a surprise. Before the elections he seemed to be so sane.
"seemed to be so sane"?
I mean term 1, maybe?
After jan 6, dude seems deranged af
I think it was a joke
difficult to tell anymore
I think so too.
Most Americans say country is on the wrong track, blame Trump for inflation, disapprove of the president and say he is going too far to expand power of presidency
Democrats: "Oh shit, this is actually working, quick, find 8 fall guys to let the budget pass!"
(yes, that is really happening- 8 democrats have broken with the party and said they would be willing to vote for it.)
I don't see any news to corroborate that claim. Link?
Sure. First one that came up for me was https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5584077-democrats-snap-funding-shutdown-concerns/ I can't find the original article the person linked when I saw it, the politics channel of that discord is... uh, lets go with 'busy' lol
Thank you!
Sounds like the centrists are starting to lose their nerve once their constituents start suffering. That is one of my theories of how the shut down ends.
But will they vote or just shrug it off as politics as usual
And just like that...nothing changed.
Yeah, turns out polls are aren't magical incantations that instantaneously change things.
Oh Democrats definitively are out of touch, but to compare that to how the ~~Republic~~ Republicans are out of touch is slightly disingenuous
Well, what are you guys gonna do about it?
I'm mad as heck and oh look new Netflix series!
A new Netflix series powered by AI you say??
There was the never-ending Seinfeld episode...

It would have been awesome if my idiot fucking countrymen had done the barest scintilla of research and realized that this was always his fucking game plan
'bbbuttt.. Harris said she'd continue bidens policies!! Waaahhhhh! The parties didn't field realistic candidates that matched my expectations! It's the politicians fault!! It's the systems fault!'
Trump said he'd do much worse, and here we are. Happy yet, sit-outs and ballot spoilers? Ready to take your elections seriously?
Do you really think the media is doing a good job of getting accurate and fair information to voters in an impartial way? Could we improve our electoral system to make it easier and more convenient for working people to vote?
So maybe instead of blaming people as individuals for failing to meet a systemic and worsening series of problems we should expect that our political leaders have some sort of plan for restoring democracy in a way that combats republican corruption.

A minimum 1/3 of the US is comprised of Nazis. Nearly every poll shows this.
It never stops shocking me how awful people are. All it took was trump taking the muzzle off for a huge chunk of the country to reveal what shitty people they are.

We need to start impeaching and recalling every damn politician up the chain until we have people who will fucking do something.

If only there was another option of someone else to vote for last election. Oh well....
/s
They voted conservative, what did they expect?
If you want your life to get better, you vote left, if you want it to get worse, you vote right.
We've got the whole 20th century as evidence of this

We have been on the wrong track for decades. Luckily Trump lit that wrong track on fire and strapped us in while accelerating towards a pit of despair
