Politics Thread

100% agree and would be welcomed by a majority of citizens in this country. That’s why I find it funny that people want to argue about topics such as abortion instead of common sense legislation such as what you have mentioned above. This is what the American people should be demanding if they want to Make America Great Again or Build Back Better.

We can demand it all we want, but it's never going to happen. Pandora's box was opened a long time ago. There's so much money in politics now that VC bros are entering like it's Camelot, and well, it is.

The ruling by MAGA Cannon might just move things forward. She will get reversed and thrown off the case.

You supported his opponent in the primary. Try to keep up. You called Vance every name in the book.

False. You’re as demented as Biden.

I disagree but it would take a concerted effort by the citizens in general to demand this change. I would argue most want this change but are to busy arguing against each other (which is what both parties want) than to unite together to facilitate this change. Saying that it can’t happen is allowing it to happen. You can’t tell me you are going to Make America Great Again or Build Back Better when you are taking handouts from people/companies to do things that benefit them and not the country. Sadly, both political unions have brushed this under the rug by turning the public against each other.

DeSantis 2024. And I voted Libertarian the last two elections. Gary Johnson & Jo Jorgensen

Your voting for the libs, so why do you care? And yet you chronically support MAGA nonsense.

What does “demand this change” look like? How do you think this could be accomplished?

Nice deflection from you saying I called JD Vance bad things in 2022- with zero evidence because I never did.
I was clear in calling Tim Ryan “Two Faced Tim” because he was a charlatan.
JD Vance is a true American and he might be your President in 2029.
I don’t support Progressive Nonsense that has gotten this country in the sad shape that it is.

By the way- “Libs” is not what you think it is. Spell it out. “Libertarians”. A whole lot different than your Off base Progressive Liberal.

Yeah, you libertarians hate trump:

you supported Dolan in the ohio primary.

I don’t give a crap about what Left side Reuters has to say.
Yes. That is true, but I had nothing bad to say about Vance. You’re thinking of my comments of that grifter Josh Mandel- supported by the Bulwarks turncoat William Kristol.
It was a close call between Dolan and Vance, but I never harbored any ill will to Vance and I’m extremely happy that he is the VP pick.
Now all DeWine has to do is appoint Vivek as the Senator to fill out the term.

I've said this many times on this thread: but you are correct in your assessment that the parties use wedge issues to divide Americans to deflect from their greed and corruption. We must recognize that the political dynamic is the masses vs the elites, not necessarily R v D.

I believe virtually all elected Dems have aligned themselves with the globalist elites, and probably 80% - 90% of all elected Republicans have done the same. The term RINO is a Republican who promises one thing, only to vote with the elites. The list of Rs that have betrayed their voters is extremely long. That's precisely why Mitch McConnell got booed at the DNC the other day. Most Rs hate him. Had the Democrats had half a brain, they could've run a moderate against him in his last two elections and likely could've won.

Most Trump supporters believe Trump is literally the only person strong/popular enough to break the backs of the elites who truly run this country. It's precisely why the elites have thrown everything under the sun at Trump to stop him.
