Oh, I wasn't aware you guys were still doing those.
In all seriousness, though, I wish you Americans the best.
They don't have legit elections anymore, and even if they did it doesn't matter.
The poll clearly shows Americans have a more favorable view of the Republicans than the democrats. What a pathetic country.
Trumps 2nd term has had higher approval ratings. Let that sink in.
It's because the democrats have become master-classes in supporting candidates that Republicans hate and everyone else can barely tolerate.
It's the fault of everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primary for why we now have 2 donald trump presidencies. These pieces of shit don't want to pay more in taxes, so they'd rather have a fascist in office than a progressive.
People say republicans deserve the day they voted for, but so does every other dipshit/moron voting against progressive policies.
I am absolutely convinced that most democrats are working together with the Republicans.
They lost both times on purpose. Nobody is dumb enough to run a candidate like Kamala.
To be fair, they lost their shit over Obama, the second most milquetoast president in my lifetime. Like they made up scandals that normal people should've been like "yeah chief, mustard and a suit ain't it." But people who vote Republican are all braindead traitors as far as I'm concerned.
Counterpoint: they learned fuck all 2016-20, they will learn fuck all 2024-28. The problem is real people will not feel the effects until years later, then they will blame anyone other than an old white guy.
Look at all the shit Obama endured having to fix Bush's mess.
If Merrick Garland had been confirmed and Obama had convinced RBG to step down after the colon cancer diagnosis then maybe we would be in a better place right now.
But that's not what happened.
Merrick Garland helped Trump walk.
I would hope Garland would have been a better option for us over Gorsuch.
Fix Bush's mess? He doubled down on all of the worst excesses of Bush's mess. Ramped up drone strikes, invaded more countries, renewed the patriot act, violated the war powers act by staying in Syria too long, tried to arrest Snowden. 2 more terms of bush would have looked identical.
