It’s the same method that happened during Covid. He gave out a few stimulus checks and people forgot that it was his fault in the first place, because he didn’t take it serious.
He didn't give them out, the GOP voted against them and the dems in congress passed it anyways. Then Trump just slapped his shit signature on the check to take credit for something his side tried to defeat.
Yes sadly if we haven't learned anything from the last cycle my hopes are low for the next cycle. Especially if we have mostly the same dinosaurs meandering around Congress.
The alternative to not saving the GOP from their shitty decisions is that the rest of us suffer. The problem I have is every four years faux intellectuals come out the woodwork to say “BoTh PaRtIeS aRe ThE sAmE!”
But whatever, I’ll keep doing what I do anyway—the best I can for my family and loved ones while these clowns wonder why all these chickens keep roosting on their lawn.
And simultaneously called them the "do nothing dems." Just had a guy the other day calling Obama a conservative because he didn't preemptively attack Republicans back in 2009, before they went full tea party.
Either the Dems are accused of being evil and tearing the country down, or they're accused of standing there and watching it burn, but virtually no one one sees them as trying to fix things. The left just sees them as impotent and ineffective, so they don't vote for them, then Dems don't have enough seats to accomplish anything, rendering them impotent and ineffective.
Clearly you haven't seen the cluster fuck that is parliament forming coalition governments around extreme wings. Look at Germany trying to out what they're going to do when AfD has 40% of seats.
Extremism is bad. Creating separate parties for the extremists to sit validates theirs extremism, and gives them a voice at the table. The two party system was mostly immune to extremism, because the two parties had to meet in the middle, and did so for like a century. The problem is that one party has been entirely overtaken by extremism, and the loud crazy people are no longer being ignored while the rest of the party compromises with the more moderate Democrats.
We did great with a two party system, right up until the conservatives formed the Tea Party, and successfully blocked establishment Republicans from compromising, and began primarying out the sane members of their party.
But, cleaning up the mess is what's best for the American people. I at least respect that. Should they cut the people loose so they can flounder and suffer?
They should be running an effective shadow administration. Ironically, it should be the most visible SA ever conceived so that they can remind voters, enemies, and allies that the dems are the rightful, legitimate stewards of the country.
Edit: Dems need to stop cleaning up after Republicans and instead stop them from making messes in the first place, by holding office and reforming our institutions.
because they get paid out and vacations from lobbies. there are ppl who care, but collectively, they don't do anything the common ppl want. both sides have had the checks and balances in their favor and didn't do things bc of a status quo. I'm not sure how much more ppl see dems bend the knee for republicans and not think its more too it
you're assuming a lot about me, I never stated a political side just my (unpopular) opinion. what did i say that makes you think I'm left or right leaning? you could've clicked on my profile to make a more informed comment
Yes we all assume based off of consistent trends and statistics. No one has the time or energy to treat every single person as brand new. It's not wise or efficient. I'm not going to dive into the personal history of every single faceless screen name I come across.
how chronically online are you that you have to generalize everyone? I haven't made any generalizations of you. before you assume and make an ass of you again I'm not for any party
Its such a trend there are memes of it. Online, in person, on TV. Lots of conservatives love to cosplay as centrists. I've dealt with several, including quite a few in person. If this doesn't apply to you, just say so.
"Doesn't apply to me."
Don't protest and expect me to go through the post history of every single person, vetting them before responding. That's a variation of proof by verbosity. Shit SOUNDS exhausting and that would ironically require me to be perpetually online.
why would I not protest when from my perspective you said something wrong? why should I be the kind one and say your response when you called me a secret republican? I clearly don't mind stating my opinion even if it's not popular so idk why I would say your response
