Unfortunately, Gaza isn’t the only major humanitarian crisis we’re dealing with, and democrats are substantially better on most of the other ones.
Of course, I fully support (and have participated in) the efforts them to pressure them to do the right thing on that topic. Pressure which would be unlikely to have much effect on republicans.
Yeah, I’m not convinced that Democrats can be pressured to do the right thing either. They can hold all 3 branches and still fail to do anything meaningful to better peoples’ lives in the long term.
Still no Gaza ceasefire, still no universal healthcare, still no federal abortion bill, still no packed supreme Court, still no non compete ban. They’re just Republicans larping as not-Republicans.
Liberal hyperbole as usual. Trump is the system working as planned. There was lots of outrage after 1/6, but nothing fundamentally changed. Nothing fundamentally changed by his being in office or his actions in office either. His immigration policies were retained by Biden, his corporate tax breaks were retained by Biden, his sections of border wall were maintained by Biden, his policy of letting Israel do whatever it wants was maintained by Biden. What actually changed under Biden?
Nothing fundamentally changed? The fuck country do you live in? Have you not seen the damage done by letting him have 3 supreme court appointments? And on that note, every “official” action is beyond scrutiny now so there are literally no guard rails if trump wins or steals a second term.

Huh, guess if Dems didn’t want that to happen they could have put a competent candidate against him. Also don’t think even he expected to get that many. I suppose the aging and cancer having justice could have stepped down during a Democratic administration but she was a bit attached to the job and power. Ultimately though I think Biden is responsible since he could have packed the court with justices any time during his administration and decided against it because of “norms”, assuming he has enough brain cells remaining to comprehend the concept.

Interesting, sounds like another thing that would be fixed by court packing.
My narrative is that Trump is the imaginary cudgel Democrats wield against voters in order to justify their cushy do-nothing jobs, collect donations, insider trade, and pretend they stand for something. It’s all theatre. In reality they either don’t care what he does or agree with him, because if they cared then something might actually change.
While I’d normally contentedly eschew civility in favor of directness and accuracy, a bit might be warranted in the event of genuine discussion between honest actors.
That being said I’m not genuinely convinced of SkyezOpen’s capabilities towards civility nor honesty as an actor.

You’re right. Better let trump win and end democracy so we don’t have to have these discussions anymore.
You’re assuming that “democracy” exists?

Russia, as I’m sure you’ll contend.

So is your narrative that trump didn’t actually do any damage to the country, or that dems should have worked harder to stop it?

OK, so you’re really gonna say he didn’t do anything bad. Cool.
Unrelated, how do you feel about Mao or Stalin? Just curious.
be civil please
