What the fuck do you expect them to do with a minority at every level? All they can do is try to get the message out.

Trump has repeatedly made empty campaign promises, yet voters take the bait every fucking time.

Pointing this out in real time is an important step.

Hahah yep. But it’d be a nice precedent to twist this upcoming president in knots.

It won’t. He owns the SCOTUS. They will twist president precedent in knots to justify whatever they want.

MAGA worship their billionaire overlords. And private Healthcare. Because the socialized programs many of them benefit from are from the devil.

Very well said. I hated Harris’ “economic plan.” It wasn’t going to make a dent. It might get some people in rural passover states afford a home, which is great for them, but would do nothing but maybe raise costs of entry level tiny condos in any city.

But I do think they accomplished a lot in Biden’s term. If you compare the US’ inflation to other 1st world countries, we recovered far better. We were moving in the right direction. It would have been far worse with Republicans.

And they accomplished all that with a festering rot of DINO obstructionists in the senate, and a republican controlled House. They did an amazing job with the limitations they had.

But they didn’t adequately lay the blame in the right hands. They didn’t address greedy corporate Housing speculation. They tried and failed to reign in “shrinkflation”. And they failed to bring some sanity to the immigrant blaming, and instead somewhat joined in on it.

Trump is already planning on introducing a mechanism to fire generals he doesn’t like. A review board consisting of retired generals. I don’t know what would be required to pass that, but I assume a simple majority in House / Senate, plus a predetermined ruling in the inevitable SCOTUS challenge, will certainly go his way.

You (not you personally) chuckle fucks didn’t vote against this. Great fucking job.

Yep. And as much as I’d like to blame 3rd party voters, even if they all voted Harris to giver her the majority, she’d have still lost due to electoral college.

I will absolutely blame the non-voters though. And the 3rd party voters still get part of the blame.

Yeah. It’s called negotiating. You start at a number higher than what you’d be happy with, expecting to meet somewhere in the middle.

How, exactly? They own the courts, and have the presidency, senate, and likely the house. How exactly do we fight back? America gave them the authority to do anything they want that doesn’t require a super majority.

Except local refusal to enforce doesn’t really work with gay marriage. If feds refuse to accept gay marriage, they won’t be able to file jointly on federal taxes, and the protections to Rights for spouses like medical visitation / decisions would have to be repeated locally, which could (would) get challenged and ultimately overruled by SCOTUS

And yet, the Overton window isn’t wide enough to fight a tiny slice of window, which is “far right fascists”

Trump wanted to deport Haitans to Mexico. You’re not getting a free ride to Ireland. Hope you like tequila.

For me, it was the days and weeks after Jan 6th, when it became clear that outright insurrection, a violent coup, was not going to spark a course correct.

The republican party should have shattered. The non-fascists should have woken up, and fought with MAGA, and years later, a viable political party rise from the ashes.

But that didn’t happen. A few conscientious dissenters fell on their swords, most at retirement age anyway. Fascism took over completely. And the American people ate it up.

Weeks after Jan 6th, it was clear that consequences were not coming. They took their mask off, and no one cared, or couldn’t stop them.

And here we are. Convicted felon with absolute power on his way to the Whitehouse, who owns the SCOTUS, Senate, and likely the House.

Trump will have unchecked power to do whatever he damn well pleases.

Way to fucking go, America. I fucking hate my countrymen.

Possibly benefit from some brain drain too

Don’t forget misogyny

I hear Tar and Feathering traitors was all the rage back in the founding father days.

Altho I could make an exception. Barack would tear him a new one in a celebrity former potus death match

Because you’d been falsely presenting as a disillusioned Democrat that could be won over if Harris changed position on supporting Isreal. And framing it as others such as yourself could be won over as well, and that the Dems deserve whatever they get for failing to do so.

Yet you now admit that the Dems will never get your vote (in the short term), and that changing position on Isreal support would not get them your vote.

That’s literally what this community has vocalized repeatedly in response to people like yourself who grandstand on genocide despite the only other option being worse genocide.

Tl;Dr- you admit that pandering to people like you will achieve nothing.

So you’re literally admitting that your entire narrative is in bad faith.

At least you (finally) admit it.

Ahh, I guess I misread. I thought they got convicted for attempted voter fraud but acquitted of voter fraud.

Like I said, intent is a large part of the law. A lot of crimes don’t get charged because intent is a high threshold to prove. Just because it seems the intent is obvious, proving it beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law is a very different matter.
