    Unfortunately I think the people need to start fighting first. Neither side can count on their elected officials anymore. One side is just too stupid to realize it yet…

    Democratic party is owned by capitalists. They will never fight for policy that actually improves living conditions of the working class, and thus their sole ‘popularity’ has to stem from people who think they will fight against fascism (they won’t and they don’t).

    Democratic leaders blearily looked up from their mid-afternoon cocktails on the decks of billionaire’s yachts and said, “They want us to what?”

    Trump is actively killing democracy. Some Democratic politicians have chosen the most pathetic, inexcusable response possible: bland indifference.

    I’m torn between fear that our government will collapse, and the cynical realization that maybe it deserves to.

    So, trumps polling all time low numbers, democrats are polling low numbers.

    I feel like if I release T-Shirts that just say “Everything sucks”, they would be universally popular.

    fight rather than compromise

    Why are there so many stupid people that can vote? Because that is how fascists and authoritarian governments get to grab power.

    History has given us some of the best documented examples of how it can go terribly wrong. Specifically Hitler and how he first destroyed democracy. Every step Trump is taking is the same as Hitler did.

      Hungary is another good case of how the right got into power and then changed laws to make it extremely unlikely they will ever be unseated.

    Man I wish they’d get rid of this phony nerd routine this guy pulls with his idiotic rolled up sleeves and over the top presentation. Theres plenty of real data nerds out there who’d do a better job.

    Kamala dropped the ball with the presidential campaign. She had no opinion on any issue that majority of voters really cared about. No wonder the entire democratic party gets backlash

      She should have never been the candidate. Biden put her in an unwinnable position. The old geezer’s ego cost America it’s democracy.
