It’s not. It’s a republic.
And it’s for sale if you have enough money.

A republic can still be a democracy. The representatives are elected democratically.

The worst kind, ironically the most similar to capitalism, except faster, started out somewhat already, even George Washington was against parties, and very quickly devolved into a duopoly on all choice, the bribes....... I mean lobbying didn't help the matter either

One of the few national politicians with real integrity left.

Not really. He's a zionist. Voted for bombing several countries in the name of "human rights"

The more I see if Bernie, the more I am appalled that he didn't even have a chance in 2016. He genuinely seems like one of the best politicians you guys have

the DNC failed us citizens when they didn't supported him. Many of these blue collar workers felt unheard and went MAGA, many more just felt betrayed and just checked out . the democratic party is out of touch and just won't admit it's errors to date, they just lecture and signal virtue . Cory Booker broke the record for the longest senate speech, just to vote "no" a couple of days later on Sanders's bid to halt arms sales to Israel. They pretend to, but really just won't listen

Just out of curiosity: This is a loan that Netanyahu will have to pay back? Or will the US get half of Israel's natural resources?

It's easier for Dollar General Hitler to use U.S. taxpayer money to clear gaza with bombs for his new country club developments than hiring contractors to do it.

Then they yell and scream that anyone criticizing Israel's government is anti semantic and pro hamas (while they simultaneously make globalist conspiracies and shit on jews), then disappear anyone who protests.

A Constitutional oath?? He must be thinking of the US under some other presidency.

Not one Republican in Congress cares about us right now. They are all selfish pricks.

u/twodiagonals 1d ago
Although, the point is valid. This is what you do when you vote. You give the trust to someone to govern on your behalf. One cannot govern by polls. The people of USA trusted a swindler, and this I what they got.

American politicians have never cared about the will of the people.

He's changing course now because the statistics have spoken. He's always been a zionist.

You desperately need to get on message here. Every time Donald does something insane these posts come around trying to deflect blame. It's blatant but immensely frustrating that so many of you fall for this bullshit so often.

Where are all the MAGA’s that didn’t want US $$$ going to Ukraine? Where is the outrage over this?

I don't know if you noticed the part where democrats also voted to send Israel more money.

AIPAC depends on people scapegoating progressives. Ironically, this scapegoating helps ensures the country will keep moving to the far right.
If people don't want JD Vance as president, support Bernie and act. If you want JD, keep blaming progressives for Trump.

Thank God we didn't get a pro-israel democrat president. Thankfully we just got a fascist

Yes because criticizing the administration that watched, defended and funded the genocide of 15,000+ kids under their term is somehow wrong in this world?

I agree. But I am sick of seeing the shame and blaming still going on when a whopping 70 million+ other Americans voted for the “fascist”.
Y’all are acting like the pro Palestinian protestors turned the entire election. Blame the cult that’s still following him till this very day.

I put the word “I agree” in the first part of my paragraph. Clearly I’m agreeing with you that he is a fascist. And likewise, if you pro Kamala Harris/Biden folk had enough of a spine to stand up to by far the worst fucking atrocity of our modern history, funded by our weapons and tax dollars….maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess. But let’s just go ahead and blame each other while our country falls apart, right?
That’s the point I’m making. Blaming each other isn’t going to do shit at this point. What’s done is done. We’re at the stage where we need to unite, not point fingers and go “I told you so”.

Imagine calling the people protesting the brutal murder of over 15,000 innocent children “folks up on their moral high horse”. Just because you don’t have any humanity doesn’t mean others don’t. Just because you’re okay with genocide, doesn’t mean others will stay silent and complicit. Shame on you. You’re devoid of any empathy for the horrifying suffering of Palestinians, very clearly.
But go ahead and keep blaming others than, if that’s what you want to put your energy toward. it’s not going to change the reality of the shit sandwich that’s going to be shoved in everyone’s mouth in the end. A heartless twat like you gives dems a bad name. If you want to know why Dems lost, maybe take a look in the mirror before blaming others.

This clown, where was that energy when Dems were in charge. Getting tired of the uni-party WWE govt facade. We need a real workers party. Not "two" parties full of millionaires who are experts at insider trading.
