This is such a piss poor tactic. They must know they already have the votes to get the lackeys elected. The real test is when they are offered huge sums of money and future income. That is when you will see individual congressmen/congresswomen turn on their constituents.
Ooooh, way to go out on a limb there, Hakky.
I read a lot of hope in comments on here. I can’t help but have a little hope myself. Many Social Democrats won their elections, which is a good sign, but there aren’t enough of them to enact real change and the Republicans and Trumpo the Clown will obstruct everything they can. It’s great that there was a big punch in the face for MAGA Nazis, but they got punched because prices are up, not because they are vile pieces of shit. Prices aren’t going to go down. I think, to win in '28, they are going to have to have some trophy accomplishments. Get out of Iran. Pass Medicare for all and have Trump absorb the hatred for the veto. Impeach some of the shitheads. Etc.
That may be true, but I think you are assuming that there is an easy way out. What if there isn’t? What if the interests of the ultra wealthy have infested our government to the point where it serves only them and will defend their positions of power at all cost? We would be talking violent revolt if we wanted to better our situation anyway. In order to prevent the same situation from quickly redeveloping, we might want to break up the country into more manageable territories. The larger the group, the more difficult it is to reach consensus. You are right that some would be better off than others. That is true now though.
Heh, with all of the improper use of the apostrophe these days, you call out a situation where it was used correctly…
Megacorps already own the federal government. The break up of the US could be relatively peaceful. Well, at least it could be similar to the break up of the Soviet Union; there would be some clashes and violence, but it would be better than a full scale civil war or a revolution. I know that a lot of people are hopeful right now. I am too, but very reserved about it. At least we know our votes still count… But the corruption remains. At best, it’s just a little more diluted. Right now is probably not the right time to bring up dissolution of the United States, but wait two years when people are moaning about nothing changing and things still being too expensive. Watch the Nazis get a real chance to gain back power. It was never possible to change things. The government is corrupt and powerless. Now what?
This will surely be unpopular, but I think the best thing to do would be to break up the country. The US is a huge country and has become basically ungovernable within our two party system. The federal government is hopelessly corrupt. The electorate is bitterly divided and misinformation is all over the place with no real way to stop it. I think it would be wise to break up into smaller groups (I’m thinking the states could become sovereign nations), which would make real change more achievable. Some states would be lost causes, but at least they wouldn’t be tanking all of us. Food for thought…
The end? Of course not. However, the power of the federal government is going to be split in half. I don’t think anything will get better, but maybe it won’t get any worse. For 2 years anyway…
Fuckin’ children.
Said it a million times… it’s going to take violence.

IDK, it sounds like she was butthurt. Then the money and her fiancee’s ideologies on top of that… Still, you may be right and she was just playing a part to become a saboteur like Fetterman and Synema.
It wasn’t a career move, it was sabotage.
That’s possible, but it looks like she was leaning in that direction for awhile. If she was already on the take, she was a really good actress, apparently.
Holy shit! It really was just sour grapes! What a bitch…
Absolutely. It was a tight race too. The monster just took its mask off.
No no no… DRAM should go to personal computers, and data centers should be burned to the ground. People often get that mixed up.
These fuckers piss away vast sums of money on their own causes, funnel public money to themselves, then do shit like this. These people deserve to die horribly. I would love to see a couple of million people swamp DC, crash the Whitehouse and stomp Trump’s guts out.
