Thanks. I'm just frustrated because a nice Star Trek future is sitting right there, without even going through the nuclear war or anything, and we can't have it because these dumbasses won't fight!

So instead, we're staring down the dystopian feudalist hellscape that's also sitting right there, just waiting to pounce, and our leaders aren't doing much beyond scolding us all for wanting the nice things everyone deserves that we can bloody well see work in actually civilized countries and telling us to vote for them harder so they can do not much some more. 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Biden should tell the American people every day that terrorists are holding the US economy hostage and the head terrorist refuses to release the hostage.”

Agreed. And certainly and give it a shot. But Our Liberal Media will only report one of the days maybe once a week. And it’ll be presented, of course, as lBiden says this/McCarthy says that” and will continue to misrepresent what’s required and what’s at risk. If we don’t default in June then we will default 3, 4, 6, or 12 months later. And one of the arguments MAGA will dust off and trot out next year will be “If you don’t want us threatening the world economy you have to put us in charge.”

And probably want to impeach him and see invoking the 14th as the perfect moment. So few Americans understand any of what is happening now and what the risks are, the Media will forever both sides it, most Americans won’t follow any of the discussion re: the 14th amendment, and impeachment in this context would be super easy to demagogue.

Joe Biden has friends across the aisle; I am not sure if Dark Brandon does.

House Republicans are reportedly crafting a major tax cut package that would overwhelmingly benefit the rich and corporations while blowing a multitrillion-dollar hole in the federal deficit.

A federal analysis revealed Tuesday that GOP plans to extend 2017 tax breaks for the wealthy could add nearly $3.5 trillion to the nation's deficit.

If they weren't for real, I'd swear these Republicans were trying out for the cast in Duck Soup

Way past time the younger generations voted in every election. Be the change you (generic) want to see.

The worst element to yesterday's coverage I think was McCarthy trolling the Dems for not doing what they should've done during the lame duck. Sure, Manchinema is a thing but there was no excuse for not trying to pass the clean bill while they still had the power.

And the GOP is a lost cause. If they take total control in 2024, excess preventable death in the world will be the new norm for the rest of my life and it just gives me the sadz

No. I'm not. Because I've voted every election day, every year since at least 2006. Because I've canvassed. Because I went to work for the census in 2020 knowing what's at stake. I know who my STATE rep is, and have emailed them.

I'm not some fool who every four years kinda stumbles into an election booth and ignores the back side of the sheet because I never heard of those people.

Impeaching Clinton; Fake investigations like Benghazi; Debt ceiling terrorism since 2011; McConnell holding up judicial hearings and appointments - including one for the Supreme Court; Shameless gerrymandering in the states; Shameless judge shopping.

The other side has weaponized government and Democrats say around figuring they'd all see reason eventually while hoards of us steamed at them to DO SOMETHING.

Nationwide, the professional Democrats have been dicking around with pen knives in the middle of a semi automatic gun fight since at least 1994. Many of us -tons of people doing way more than me, too be fair - have been trying to wake them up. Find a message that scares people into paying attention. By accident, the GOP gave Democrats the only effective message they've ever had in the person of Donald Trump.

So no. Don't tell me I'm the problem.
