You could say the exact same thing in 2020, 2016, 2004, 2000...
Yeah. Look how those turned out.
Put a fascist in the White House twice while favorability of the Democratic party is at an all-time low.
That's how it turned out.
Voting in another party would have sent a stronger message. To both parties. But yeah. Hold your paper signs and enjoy your corner of fascism.
Like I said all the blame rests on the shoulders of people like you who continue to enable a weak and unpopular Democratic party. Why else do you think people voted for both Trump and Mamdani?
Enjoy watching your party leaders deliver strongly worded letters!
Glad to see youre part of the 'solution' then. Keep blaming the leaders and waiting for your 'strong' party. Dont mind the don. Hes just wrecking rhe country in the meantime.
Why would I be part of a solution of a problem that you and your party created? Besides as it's evident from this debate you don't even want our solution.
Given the current circumstances, i think it fails to address the immediate need. But i also understand that, unlike in some other countries, that anericans live in relative comfort, want to preserve that comfort, and that the level of pain hasnt ratcheted to the point where the solution becomes obvious - that sometimes we do what is necessary, instead of what is expedient, convenient, safe, or ideal.
In flight school, they are trained to aviate, navigate, communicate. Your group seems to want to negotiate and blame (communicate), without first staunching the blood loss (aviate). Its ass backwards and the result of gradually letting idiots into power by ignoring the midterms. But you do you. Dont blame others for pointing out your shortcomings. And certainly dont have the voters blame the politicians for decisions they chose to make.
Save me the flight school bullshit talk
Well, its quite clear from your response that this isnt a good faith debate at all. Have a good day.
And you were? Talking about flight school lmao
