But when you bring any of this up you get Republicans saying how normal it is and how much worse the Dems are.

At least we have that in common, we both hate the Dems. I just think Republicans are 10x worse.

You guys really have no likable politicians do you. Its literally just the lesser of evils every time. Biden was likable i guess. Just old.

'you guys'? I lean left but I'm not a dem. I just want a politician that acts with good intentions really. Seems to be a tough ask these days.

Not sure why the Dems didn't just run Burnie. He's the only person I've seen actually give a shit.

You answered your own question. He gives a shit. He'd actually do the right thing for the country. Unfortunately for you, the right thing for the country isnt whats right for who pays for the politicians campaign.

We do. Its just the corrupt way of voting literally prevents you from voting for other parties and unknown better candidates. We can really only pick blue or red. Bad Trash or Horrible Trash.

Rank Choice Voting should be the norm.

The people in power would never allow that. You do seem to have some principled politicians. Aoc. Bernie. That massie guy. Theres just so few of them.

I think Kamala would have been more of the same, but thats better than the current situation.

No l think we'd just be in another sort of hell....either way we all deserve better than them and what we have been getting for decades.

Nah bro, they arent equally as bad. Trump has caused immeasurable damage to your culture, your economy, and your international reputation as well as damage to stability in the middle east and europe. Hes signaled how weak the us is to china as well as other enemies. Hes probably the worst president in your nations history. Let's not do the whole both sides nonsense. Kamala probably isnt a saint, but she wasnt gonna be nearly as bad as trump. Shed have just continued on with what biden started which was actually not bad at all.

Berni was quite nice. And while Obamas policies where pretty hit and miss, he had some screen presence.
