        Right seriously

        “Erm Bernie isn’t viable because he’s too radical”

        As if Biden or Harris had any appeal aside from not being Trump???

        I’m still mad people didn’t care that the dems essentially skipped their primary as a way to cheese their candidate selection and not because they actually didn’t have the time to complete a primary.

      Exactly.

      Eventually something minor cannot be done, we want democrat politicians to stop cooperating with Republicans… but no, they just roll to expose their belly and vote in the budget bill.

      Luigi doesn’t poll very well either. His highest demographic is on par with Trump’s general approval.

              I think by far the most favorable poll of Luigi was College Pulse, in which the largest group found the killing somewhat justified with 33% and totally justified in 15%.

              A better portrayal of the USA as a whole would be StratPolitics poll which breaks down his approval to above or below 45 years old with a very stark difference of 8% and 31%.

              I’ve presented two polls magically out of my ass, I take it you’re still trying to figure out the internet to find one poll counter to my claim?

                  I still think I’m very effective. Don’t be swayed by a downvote botnet, look for the signs of organic behavior.

    Democratic leaders blearily looked up from their mid-afternoon cocktails on the decks of billionaire’s yachts and said, “They want us to what?”

    Democratic party is the party of status quo.

    Conservative party is the party of destruction/cancer.

    The people want a party of progress.

    The people will never get what they want with these two parties in charge of everything.

    Just a sad fact. Things will get worse before they get better.

    Trump is actively killing democracy. Some Democratic politicians have chosen the most pathetic, inexcusable response possible: bland indifference.

    I’m torn between fear that our government will collapse, and the cynical realization that maybe it deserves to.

    Unfortunately I think the people need to start fighting first. Neither side can count on their elected officials anymore. One side is just too stupid to realize it yet…

    Man I wish they’d get rid of this phony nerd routine this guy pulls with his idiotic rolled up sleeves and over the top presentation. Theres plenty of real data nerds out there who’d do a better job.

    Kamala dropped the ball with the presidential campaign. She had no opinion on any issue that majority of voters really cared about. No wonder the entire democratic party gets backlash
