    You should. There are people like you on this thread and more importantly out there in the real world I come into contact with.

    Do you just think that everyone who doesn't believe EXACTLY what you is either "don't know what the hell is going on, or you don't have any core principles"? Break that post down, you sound like Darth Vader in some stupid Star Wars movie.

    Fact is, most people in this world vote and hope for the best. It's not some deeper referendum on the overall ills of the country. The difference was a mere 1.5%.

    Side note, people do evil in this world. They commit violence for various reasons whether it be for profit/terrorism/revenge/etc. To pair the crimes committed by some to a specific political party is just stupid. A democrat doesn't own the crimes of others any more than a republican does. These aren't teams we root for. You vote and hope for the best. Then you do it all over again. We got away from that to all our detriment.

    It's not just about crimes, my friend, it's about policy and corruption. I'm not going to write a dissertation to make my point.

    Maybe do a little research on your end from sources you don't normally consider, think about it, and then get back to me.
    When they say, “We must protect our democracy,” switch the word “democracy” to “bureaucracy”, and it will all make sense.

    And the fraud of Lou has been exposed again. I’ll have a conversation with anyone as long as they agree with everything I say.

    Challenged once again and turtles up like the little bitch that you are per usual.

    You’re a joke lol

The ones I fear most are those that recognize problems, but that they can only be solved by one person or one small group of them. They live in echo chambers and search only for items that support their own confirmation bias.

    The country's issues have been created by both sides of the political aisle. They need to be solved by both sides. Yes Trump/Republicans won this time but anyone old enough knows politics are cyclical.

    Your post sounds like the ramblings of an old man shouting at clouds. American hating communists? Are you on the Army-McCarthy panel from the 50s?
    Yep, that’s why neither party has control of the presidency for very long. If either party was doing a great job, the other party wouldn’t exist.

    There has been very little, honest debate on issues here. Mostly name calling, gaslighting, trolling. The above post is none of that.

    However, it is a typical "everybody knows that" style post with no substance.

    If you had went a different direction after "I voted for Trump"....the post would have opened an opportunity for meaningful discussion.

    The "WHY" you voted for Trump over Harris, from people like you, is missing here and very much needed. If you could post a few sentences about your 2024 POTUS decision....it would be very appreciated.

    Because all you want to hear is why someone agrees with you.

    Let's try something...we have a lot of problems in this country of ours. Please explain in detail what Republicans have done to correct these problems that have been going on for however many years:

    1. Healthcare---cost, availability, etc
    2. Veterans
    3. Mental Health Services
    4. Road and Building Infrastructure
    5. Homelessness/Affordable Housing
    6. Government Spending
    7. Education---falling behind in about every single metric vs the rest of the world yet costs keep going up

    I could list more but you get the point. Both political parties have a hand in our problems, and no one cares to fix it.

    And btw, if you think Obama and Trump are really any different, why were they chumming it up yesterday at Carter's funeral? Most politicians are all the same. All they care about is power, and manipulating the everyday person into believing they care about them.

    This is child's play. Instead of posting on this board all day, maybe you should try staying engaged with the real world - - then you would know the answers to these issues.

    How about answering? I know the answers to these questions. I'm seeing if Xuperman or you can answer them with any kind of validity.

    Here's an idea - why don't YOU lay out your thoughts first, in detail, and then we'll all comment, eh?

    How about you answer the question. I'm the one who asked it. Any time anyone challenges you on anything, you turtle up. Your natural responses encompass anything from "do your own research" to a diatribe about "leftist policies" or "core principles" to whatever other nonsensical bs you can come up with. Why?

    1.) Because you can't answer without looking like a complete fool.
    2.) Your only contributions to this thread are spreading your own propaganda based on what you ingest on a daily basis. Get out of your echo chamber.
