I can’t vote for anyone that’s going to forgive and forget or “move past” these past few years.

W are going to need to see a lot of orange jumpsuits and gallows.

A pox on both your houses.

Seriously, as an unaffiliated voter I am so sick and tired of hearing you idiots talk about how your team is good and the other team is evil and why don’t we just lower the bar still lower?

If Biden hadn’t tried to unilaterally nullify immigration law and border enforcement Trump wouldn’t have been re-elected. He let millions of unvetted illegal economic migrants into the US under the pretext that they were here to seek asylum from some unidentified war/genocide/natural disaster that happened in Central America the minute Biden rolled back Trump’s border enforcement.

Now we have Trump and I don’t even have to list what all he has done because one of you trained seals will be along momentarily to tell me all about how his lawlessness is so much worse than the other team’s lawlessness.


How about you focus on identifying someone who is decent, competent, and willing to do the hard work of actually following the legal process to make or change laws?

I have been saying this for YEARS!!! Since the Bush I administration!!

Democrats are "nice." Mostly. They like to be above it all, play by the rules, show they are better than the GOP lowlife scum (and they are). But playing by the rules doesn't make you win in a game where the GOP is constantly moving the goalposts, cheating in every possible way, and then yelling at you to stay in line so you're easier to hit.

The holier than thou crap has to end for the Democrats. Even if they don't believe in going low, they have to do it, or they will never beat the sleazy, nasty, evil GOP.



You folks are so funny. lol that you think any professional politician in any party is a “nice” person.



It is uniparty versus the rest of us.


The rest of us need to take back control of our major political parties from their wealthy financiers.

Nothing you’ve written suggests that you actually want a free and honest press.


I’m honestly not sure what you mean by this? Seems like the exact points made suggest honesty and reporting with integrity are critically important.

Democrats were busy supporting Israel and wondering why Clinton was so close to epstein.

No, that's not it at all. They just need the hammer the truth in simple language instead of wonk-talk.

The Dems just need to repeat talking points that question Trump's ethics like the Repubs did.

For example, Trump has a crypto currency. Every democrat politician should bring that up in every time they are on camera.


Repeating ad nauseam only makes people time out more. I didn’t vote MAGA but I’ve learned the Democrats dont represent me either. They care more about the party than people. It is a lot of crocodile tears about people but it’s more about power for themselves. They infantilize the everyone else in the party. They listen for key word workout listening to intent and ahoit people done (a la MN yoga studio).

What both major parties do is weaponize law and forget the net party in power will use those same powers against them. It’s a frickin’ hamster wheel.

If you can honestly "both sides" the current situation, you have brain damage. Just sit out the next election, please.



Shrug. As you pointed out, you don’t want my vote. It’s been made perfectly clear. You gave rise to Trump. Own it.

My usual team (Dems) will win but it is doubtful they will change much. They will use the same tactics to try to stay in power.

Good versus evil. In case it wasn't obvious, the party that claims to be Christian isn't the good side.

You're the PERFECT Democrat!! Just keep sayin' that! The GOP will control the US for the next century while you're staying in line, keeping your nose clean.
