I voted for Harris. The guy you’re responding to is still right. If democrats had actually represented the working class for the last 30 years instead of paying lip service to the idea then we would not be in this situation. Saying that does not excuse the actions of Republicans or conservative voters. It’s simply an honest accounting of Democrats failure to present a convincing counter argument to the GOP. You would think that would be easy to do and yet here we are.
I think there’s quite a few brown people in America surprised by this. I’m not sure how that’s possible but it is the reality of the level of political engagement we’re dealing with in this country.
What’s your problem with poutine tacos? That sounds delicious.
You know exactly what needs to be done and so does everyone else. The problem is that we’re all too selfish, lazy, or scared to do it.
Nothing happened is not an accurate representation of those events. At minimum we have a historical record that all Republicans refused to convict him which means they supported his actions. Dem voters got to watch their representatives stand up for them and make the case that Trump’s behavior was not acceptable. Those are both important things despite the fact that he was not removed from office. That’s a big part of the information we needed to have to know how bad a 2nd Trump term is going to be.
What they’re doing now is giving up without a fight. In fact, they’re actively speeding things up by confirming his nominees.
You say tomato I say environmental collapse. Don’t make excuses for people who can’t take an actual stand on a topic. She tried to split the difference to appeal to both sides and both sides told her that wasn’t good enough. Good fucking plan eh?
Hey now, he issued those pardons for his friends and family like a genuine dictator there towards the end. He was figuring out how to wield his powers effectively but they were only really put to use for personal gain. Funny how that works
Better not do anything at all then
Ask a Palestinian how they feel about your sympathy
No it isn’t and talking that way is not helpful. Although, if you’re ready to give up before experiencing any actual consequences of all this then you weren’t going to be much help anyway.
lol that’s not going to happen. The train has left the station and everyone with the capacity to choose to get off has already done so. Stop hoping for a moment that will never come.
It’s not too late to refresh the tree of liberty
This is the same percentage of the population it’s been for 50 years. Any question you could want to ask has been asked many times already. How many more times do we need to ask them before we’re satisfied with the answers?
Some things that are necessary are also hard. If you don’t do something necessary because it wasn’t as easy as you thought it should be then you’re a piece of shit. Nothing will change until Americans collectively decide to make good choices in spite of the difficulty and you’re making that take longer by helping people feel justified in taking the lazy way out.
They’re just trying to cope with the situation by playing games with statistics. You’re absolutely right though, non-voters don’t matter and there’s no point in talking about them as much as we do.

He’s just rubber stamping Project 2025 stuff. Trump is too stupid to understand most of what he’s doing. That doesn’t really change what’s happening but it does add an extra layer of absurdity to it all.
That’s an easy excuse that has no basis in reality at this moment in time. Until someone falls out a window things like this are just capitulation for the sake of convenience.
It’s pretty fucked that we are at the point where the idea of collaboration between administrations from different parties is so foreign that it doesn’t even register as a possible explanation for something like this.
To be clear, that’s not meant to be a criticism of you but rather a comment on how divided we are as a nation.
