Uh... We've all been saying those exact words for nearly a decade*, over and over and over... And, this is all where that gets us. 🤌🏻
*(depending on one's age/awareness)
And we'll keep saying those words until someone listens.
Dont spurn the ones asking for a drink spurn those that hold back the water because it upsets their donors.
FWIW, I'm not "spurning" anyone, gramps.
That led you to a guy in the White House who is clear he's not likely to leave peacefully.
Are you seriously blaming Trump being elected on people asking for better representation? Wheres the connection?
No, I'm blaming people who only wish to vote for their perfect candidate for Trump being elected. If you look at the amount of Democrat voters who sat out the 2024 election then they are to blame. If they'd have showed up we wouldn't be in this shitshow now, even if Harris wasn't a great candidate.
There is a certain type of Democrat voters who can't look past their own views and only want a candidate that aligns 100% with what they think, meanwhile the other side rallies behind a candidate that they themselves might also not like entirely, but they still vote for him. And then they win. Meanwhile the former get to say 'Well at least my principles are still intact' while the country crumbles around them.
