“Why aren’t people having kids anymore?”
This is why I hate the holidays. Because depressing shit like this happens on the holidays. They always did.
It’s incredible how Democrat sentiment is so bad in the face of this. Millions poured into consultants, and they can’t figure it out?
Their vocabulary should be two words:
-
Epstein.
-
Trumpcare.
That’s it.
That’s all they need to say to win.
If they’re feeling frisky, sprinkle in a “huh, you know, maybe a few near-trillionaire buddies of the president shouldn’t rob you with AI?”
They were literally handed a actual pedo cabal and a direct existential crisis even hardcore Republicans are feeling anxiety over, on a silver platter. And somehow they’re messing that up?
I’m dysfunctional as hell, and even I couldn’t mess that up.
The BEST Route is to NOT get Political and ALSO not use ANY Leverage we may have as THAT will be Seen as Political! Run on PARDONING the Pedophiles and TRYING to Bring down Healthcare Costs we Caused to skyrocket!
-Highly Paid Democratic Strategists who KEEP losing but somehow STILL get Paid MILLIONS!
it’s too on-the-nose. They’re in on “it”. What is it, you ask?
I have a feeling, that those consultant might be “double agents”.

The 2nd Amendment is more important than health care. The dumbfucks who voted for this would buy ammunition over insulin shots.
If only we could somehow use the 2nd amendment to ensure access to healthcare.
So glad we ended the shutdown and got nothing out of it because democrats were promised a vote on this that they knew they wouldn’t win on.
A promise we all knew was a lie the moment it was said.
Oh, and the bill they voted on also made hemp-derived THC products illegal.
I wonder which democrat was holding out for that.
It really sucks that democrats are useless. I hate having to vote for them but even being useless I think/feel the worst democrat is miles ahead of the best republican. Man those two words shouldn’t ever be used together.
No, you aren’t allowed to criticize useless Democrats! That makes you MAGA on Lemmy!

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
If I were you, I’d take a hard look at rising right wing extremism across the EU, and spread the word. Before it happens to you, too.
We have already been through that just fyi
That’s what I’m saying!
It may be fun to make fun of the US, and justified. But I think it’s a distraction from what’s happening in your own back yard.
Don’t be us. Please.
If the US learned anything of Europe they wouldn’t be in this mess… Europeans are already very aware of it. edit: you are warning us about what we’ve already been through and we warned YOU about. the ignorance and arrogance of you people are staggering.
“people who did not vote for this must suffer because i am not one of them and i want to watch the dumpster fire from afar with glee”
Over half voted for this and the others did nothing and still wont do anything.
so you can’t do math and you only get news from the television? am i understanding you right?
womp womp
What makes you say that?

You sound like a child.
I’m watching this dumpster fire from afar in horror.
Surely those Americans who claim not to want this will band together and put a stop to it soon?
the grass roots culture across the us is “stay off my property or I will shoot you”. so what’ya expect? the largest cultural influences we have are pioneer culture and capitalism. it isn’t a mature society by any measure, it is the pinnacle of what you get from colonialism.
It’s hard to care about the outside when I have to constantly be vigilant to how my closest neighbors are trying to fuck us.
Are they sick of winning yet?
Ah the sweet smell of freedom.

20 million George Carlin Americans who will be losing shitty, yet at least some medical coverage, due to their own Idiocracy and the complete incompetence of the Democrats who continue to capitulate in the face of adversity.
Color me not that sympathetic.
Happy fucking New Year!
The Republican eugenics plan is working.
Remember when the government was shut down specifically because the Democrats refused to go along with a bill that ended the health insurance subsidies, and they had the Republicans up against the ropes because no matter how much they tried to dodge the responsibility, the majority of people blamed Republican intransigence for the shutdown?
Then remember how the Schumer-led Democrats just completely folded, passed the bill, then stood idly by as the chance to extend the subsidies vanished?
Every single one of those stinking traitorous shitbags needs to be primaried.
Everyone who voted to end it isn’t up for a primary, or so I heard back when this happened.
It’s like… It was planned.
So you are saying this is all the fault of Democrats?
Of course not. Don’t be a simpleton.
The Republicans rather obviously bear the lion’s share of the blame.
However, that was the Republicans’ designated role from the start. Their job was to represent the interests of their plutocratic cronies and patrons by killing a program that spent money to benefit poor people, so they were just doing what they were meant to do and what they were expected to do.
On the other hand, the Democrats’ job was to protect a program that benefitted poor people, and they miserably failed at that job. In fact, they didn’t even simply fail - they forfeited. They gave up even trying.
And they very much deserve condemnation for that.
So, the problem is the “primaried” thing isn’t enough at this point. People are going to die because of these choices. Eye for an eye.
definitely a comment that would get you banned from reddit
Which is strange since Republicans usually love bible quotes.
Fuck this self-righteous political violence
The political violence has already been perpetrated upon us. What we are talking about now is political defense against a violent aggressor.
You only say that because you’re in favor of, or not directly affected by, the direction we are currently going.
Paid shill or useful idiot. Either way they should join their masters when the time comes.
The guillotines are thirsty.
Yes, primary all of them, but ESPECIALLY primary Schumer and Jeffries. They are absolutely toxic to democracy. If someone is claiming it’s a bad idea to primary them, that person is working against the people on behalf of the rich and corporations. Just like current Dem leadership.
What? The media was making the democrats out to be the ones shutting down the nations airports.
Go ahead and turn on the democrats and further empower the republicans. You might be a russian troll…
The media was making the democrats out to be the ones shutting down the nations airports.
So?
Exactly as I already said:
no matter how much they tried to dodge the responsibility, the majority of people blamed Republican intransigence for the shutdown
That’s what the polls consistently showed, and notably that was in spite of the fact that so much of the media tried to pin the blame on the Democrats.
So your claim here isn’t just irrelevant - it’s actually part of the support for my position. Yes - the captive media tried to blame the Democrats. But the people weren’t buying it.
But Schumer and the Democrats folded anyway.
and further empower the republicans
Nobody is empowering the Republicans more than Schumer and Jeffries and the rest of the establishment Democrats, who can’t even be arsed to do their jobs
You might be a russian troll…
lol
Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose
The question is: how broken will their spirit be by the time that happens?
Will they just lay down in fear and exhaustion rather than rising up against the people and system that abused them for so long?
I both welcome and dread the day.
Yeah, I think a lot of people want to speedrun this happening without realizing that in reality it’s just gonna lead to a lot more crime and a lot lower quality of life.
The glorious revolution that results in a brand new glorious era for America is not that likely to happen in this scenario. Most revolutions don’t really turn out that great, if you ever even get to the revolution phase as everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.
We already got the 1% robbing us blind into the grave. It would be nice to make this into an mutual arrangement.
You’re probably going to need to track down some thermite to breach bunkers.
Cement for the vents and doors would do fine.
But there’s stuff in there…
Jackhammers also exist. The cement would only need to be there for like few days.
Fer sure. There are plenty of people that need to suffer consequences, but suffering is an equal opportunity employer.
everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.
So like any day of the week ending in “day”.
Unfortunately a non-zero percentage will just say we need to keep doing the same shit except more and harder.
And keep voting Republican
Without question or hesitation
