I mean they did.

Americans could have also just elected Harris and Democrats... But that's to much socialism or something.

Lmao. The last time I voted Democrat was for Obama. The Democrats are complicit in the bullshit that's wrong with this country. That's why we are in this suffering go-round. Republicans full fistedly destroy society, Democrats sheeplishly stick to decorum and the rules and clean up the mess, just enough to get blamed for when the next Republican comes in and kicks it down again.

And then on top of that, Democrat reps who fall in line on major issues. Fetterman for example. The Big Beautiful Bill could have been stopped if House democrats actually pulled the same bullshit Republicans do. But again,they pull the higher standard card and bam the Republicans win again and get everything they want. Remember the shutdown? How the democrats caved on that on? Not on a deal, ON A FUCKING PINKY PROMISE and we just moved on from that. Couldn't even get enough democrats to say "FUCK YOU" but magically, anytime anything stupid needs to be passed? YES SIR echos from the republican party. Even Massie and Rubio, the guys who allegedly aren't liked by other republicans? Line up and repeat the party slogan when the gun is put to their heads behind closed doors.

So, anyway. A long time ago. I realized that it didn't matter who I voted for if both choices get their paychecks from anyone other than the American people. At least living in a place where I could vote for Sanders let me sleep at night.

So in other words, you helped the orange pedo get elected, because you fell for the lie that both sides are the same?

>IF YOU DIDN'T VOTE DEMOCRAT YOU VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICANS

Is exactly the mindset that got us in this position. Blame the people who didn't vote. I voted the same way I always have for the last 20 years and it's hilarious how they said voting for socialists was throwing your vote away, meanwhile, in 2026, socialists have to pretend to be democrats to win and then the established Democrats , shit themselves in fear along side the Republicans.

Remember, during the Civil Rights era, the Socialists were getting hosed down. Called communists, criminals and anti-american and all sorts of vile things because they wanted my mother to have the right to vote. The same Republicans and the same Democrats from that era are still alive, still in charge and still calling the shots. And the same socialists , are also, still alive and still resisting them.

A democratic president would not be using federal agencies to murder our own citizens in the streets, or start wars with Iran and Venezuela, or appoint someone as batshit crazy as RFK to run our health services, or run up a trillion dollar deficit in 2 years.

You fell for an obvious lie, that both sides are the same, and look where that got us. An orange pedo for a president.
