So Democrats win try to unfuck everything Republicans fucked up. And next election Republicans win and fuck everything up again. This is like one step forward two steps back kind of politics. Hard to move forward or reach any kind of progress like that.

this is how I have felt this millenium. previously to that I thought we were making anemic two forward one back and it feels like before my time we actually were making forward progress. Granted feels like a whole lot more than two steps back in 2025
We didn't create the system. If you delete the one step forward all you'll get is two steps back.
Democrats will not fix anything republicans did and will continue destroying american lives at slower pace and then republicans win again and accelerate again and the cycle continue

Quaint of you to think we’ll have one. Assuming we do get one they don’t pull the typical BS of sweeping republican wrongdoings under the rug, kumbaya, can’t we just move forward and let the republicans block all our appointments as usual?
It’s going to take breaking the government and hitting a reset button, armoring it against corruption and billionaires, completely redoing how candidacy, campaigning, lobbying, how wealth and money work in society, and many, many other things work. It literally cannot be a Democrat (or a republican) because no democrat is capable of breaking and rebuilding the system. They are too beholden to party and money.
You guys think they're gonna have another election? Lmao they're done mate, the country has been taken by fascists. That includes the Dems btw, they keep funding the brown shirts and have made no attempt to stem the horrible crimes of the administration. They are complicit in the downfall of the USA. The ONLY way America survives this is if the people become UNGOVERNABLE.
The democrats will do nothing. The only way America will see justice is a complete overhaul of the system
Lmao yeah that's what you need. Another merciless billionaire in charge.
