    Shame on all the voters voting for the candidate promising to do better than their opponent.

    You really are a special kind of idiot.

      No. They are promising to not do worse, while offering nothing better. Exactly the game that people constantly bitch about the Democrats playing all the time - ratchet and pawl.

      In fact this is barely different than the shit Republicans pull with Hunter Biden’s laptop.

      What Melania thinks about the rioters has no bearing on anything, and we already know what Trump says about it because he constantly mouths off. Just like what Hunter Biden does has no bearing on Joe Biden as president and we can can find out about Joe Biden’s policies and opinions directly from him.

      While everyone should be calling out Republicans for their continued attempts to overthrow the government, Democrats have to at some point actually offer to do something to fix the problem.

      As it stands now, Dems have no reason to address the core problem because as long as Trump is in the picture all they need to say is they’re notasbadasTrump. And when Trump is out of the picture you can bet they’ll prop up the next guy so they can say they’re not as bad as them.

      If voters don’t call out that nonsense, especially in blatantly obvious cases like this, it’s not going to change.
