    What’s even the point? Wealth and corruption won, and was always going to. Buckle in and enjoy watching America become a single party authoritarian state. Life won’t change too much for most people. A little poorer, a little less able to bitch about politics, but not so bad.

        I still think we should vote for them but unless they actually pursue policies that take away the ability of Republican state governments to oppress people were all just going to be some dumb sad assholes in November 2032 because President Buttigieg lost to Elon Musk after four years of getting jack shit done

    eh, will your main appeal always be “we are better than absolute fuckwit sexist, homophobic Nazis”. Please make way for people who are actually there to change something instead of actively blocking them so you can save your seats.

      His spineless simpering responses to everything MAGA have been laughably inadequate for years. He’s been 100% dead to me since he collaborated with that clumsy Republican smear campaign against Al Franken to destroy his career. It’s not enough to primary him out of office, he needs to be forced to resign in embarrassing and humiliating fashion.

    There won’t be a 2026 midterm election. HitlerPig can’t afford to lose either chamber majority, and allow the Democrats to control investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers.

    He will continue to stir up 😵‍💫 now, making more and more people angry, and letting the protests grow. Next summer, he will encourage his Red hats to instigate trouble at protests around the nation, then use Federal troops to quell the trouble with ferocious violence, which he will blame 100% on the protesters.

    Then he will declare Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored, and since he controls the peace, that will never happen.

    Once we’ve missed the 2026 Midterms, it will be easier to skate past the 2028 Presidential election, and then the Constitution is fully dead.

    These DINOS are completely dependant on what the GOP has the done the last administration in order to become electable. more like dinos are completely codependant on GOP, and vice versa. they are hoping to scrape by on some wins so they grift and receive “large gifts” from the same donors. thats why they dont push on heavy raising taxes, or UBI, or healthcare the DNC would lose all thier political capital that way and become unelectable, just enough to wet peoples apetite. while the gop just can use hate, and fearmongering to get elected.

      That’s what we said about Roe and the GOP but here we are. Let’s not forget FDR was elected four times.

        i like to also add they want to grift from the same GOP donors, without making them look like the bad guys, eg the gop, because the gop has done such a bad job, they vote for D. people are starting to wake up to that. it was obvious how MITCH and the DNC were doing cat and mouse, its all orchestrated behind closed doors. the DNC cant afford to lose the GOP to elections, then they dont have an enemy, and they have to deal with more “bernies, AOCs” down the line.
