Cool, knew that was coming, been saying that for a while, but what you going to do about it?

Best we can do is ineffectually keep taking the high road against an opponent with no truth value while only being good in comparison to them specifically in a clown democracy with only two parties, and still working for corporate interests more than anything else.

ineffectually keep taking the high road

They're not taking the high road...

Centrists stand at the fork and the road and talk about which one is best, but always just wait till it's a Republican's turn to pick the path, then claim the other would have been better

With Sinema and Manchin blocking everything... there's not much lawmakers can do. America voted these clowns in.

Sounds like Democrats had already crippled our democracy by blocking everything.

Decades of Republicans and Republican partisan media already did that. Sinema and Manchin were end game symptoms, not causes.

All I'm seeing is that Manchin and Sinema did what the party wanted. They blocked shit the party ran on but never wanted to implement. And when the party got a larger margin in the Senate, they left the party to narrow the margin. And now wouldn't you know it, Fetterman is starting to act like Sinema.

Yeah believing Trump has any plans at all for anything other than self-aggrandizing self-enrichment is barking up the wrong tree.

He asks who will stop him?

Why don't you stop him Chris Murphy?

Are you not suppose to protect this country from all this?

All of you will do nothing and expect a citizen to the job?

GTFO.

It's not Trump's plan. It's the Conservative's plan. Trump is just the ugly face they use to try and distract from that fact.

He wasn’t kidding when he said Democrats were the no. 1 threat

He needed to say "after the Republicans" but other than that he's not wrong.

Its not a "plan to cripple our economy". He's not some syndicated cartoon villian.

Its a a "plan to steal everything not nailed down". Because he is a Saturday morning cartoon villian.

Your getting downvoted but being given 2 choices, that you really didn't have any input in selecting isn't a democracy. It's just the illusion of some sort of democracy and control.

Those two choices are both pro climate destruction and both pro genocide and both pro nuclear weapons and both pro companies. They're both nearly the same party in the sense that they both are running towards mass extinction.

You can and should vote for another option, but the state has historically arrested those candidates when they went to the debates.

Its a plutocracy, not a democracy.
