More broadly, the Constitution was designed to ensure that normal people couldn't have power.

For all the hero worship of the Founding Fathers, even ignoring the racism and misogyny of the time we'd all be fucking miserable living under the system they actually devised. We didn't get to popularly elect Senators until the 17th Amendment.

We think these fuckos are bad now, imagine the hot garbage that the modern-day Texas or Alabama state legislatures would send to Washington.

That is what Americans mean when they say someone has 'drank the Kool Aid.' He's a full-bore ideologue. There's no hint of objectivity. He will shill for the right, no matter how much it flies in the face of historical precedent.

To put it in a larger context, Fox News is just Rupert Murdoch's poison campaign. (Reagan rubber-stamped his citizenship and changed US laws to allow Murdoch to accelerate the growth of his media empire.) Concerning much of what FN reports, it's barely any different from North Korea's propaganda broadcasts. Everything T does is basically ordained by God and he can do no wrong. Everything Democrats do is corrupt/incompetent/immoral/despicable.

it's so insane that the Democratic Party en masse won't call for a New New Deal with an emphasis on a WPA II: Electric Boogaloo (and that the party will, in fact go to great lengths to crush anyone who does)

Universal programs and things people can touch are eternal winners - everyone's grandma gets Medicare and Social Security to keep her alive, everyone gets to touch the new city halls and libraries we could build across the damn country. Tell Trump he can put his signature on the WPA plaque if need be.

No it's not. You just have to understand that the majority of the DNC talk about being progressive is face service and they don't care. And they won't as long as they get to play the lesser of two evils tRump card... The only way you can get them to truly swing that way sadly is to scare them [by letting the right win... which is not a good idea sadly] or force them [through voting out all incumbent blue dogs]

I think we already know that the former doesn't work, since the DNC has spent the last four years fucking around with investigations and impeachment proceedings that they knew would do absolutely nothing rather than make any serious movements towards the left.

Agreed. That was the biggest fucking waste of time, resources....sigh. Good God this country.


Anyway, I'm not voting for fucking Biden. I refuse. Trump is the only one who wants to protect me as a business owner but I can't vote for him either.

So, I'm out this time. Fuck it.

It's amazing to me that he never got taken out by bleach, a light socket, or staircase maybe.
Like today I mean. I have no idea how he survived infancy.

I thought we might be on the verge of en masse social Darwinism by the red cap crowd. It would be pretty ironic (and horrifying) if Trump killed off his own base.
