without background & historical knowledge of our political posturing, it becomes little more than a red vs blue team sports and i bet it’ll stay that away until there aren’t enough people whose lives are untouched by the ghoulery to change things.
And we saw the results of that with Republicans where any flaw or mistake is ignored…
Are republican voters getting what they want out of that arrangement? Or is their blind loyalty being exploited?
Now, everyone seems to understand how that is bad…
So why do people think both parties doing that would be better?
If it’s just about winning elections, why not also run a candidate that agrees with the base, then ask for people to vote for the lesser evil if it’s still not what voters want?
Why start with someone far to the right of the Dem voters base?
Why meet fascists halfway? When has that ever worked out?
the “lesser evil” argument hits an absurd new low when both lesser evils options are kind-and-gentle-genocide or mask-off-genocide; yet you have people who THOROUGHLY believe that it’s practical choice and are so out of touch that the denigrate people for not cooperating in the genocide.
For a President that Magas claim didn’t do anything, Trump had to spend an awful amount of time signing executive orders to undo Biden’s “did nothing”.
I count 76 Trump orders to undo Biden’s orders just on Trump’s first day:
I think Biden was an empty suit who personally didn’t do anything while president…
And a shit ton of “moderates” from his admin and mainstream media are writing books about how true that is.
Why the fuck do so many people want to act like trumpets do with trump and just deny reality to cheer their “team” no matter what?

Then you personally weren’t paying attention.

From what I’ve read the former president actually got quite a lot done. It just didn’t get talked about as much, at least in international news.
Man, those were good days…
The only mistake Biden made was not learning the Trump trick of non stop publicity and insulting your opponent even immediately after the election.
