I think that all national level election voting is pointless. No matter who you vote for, you always get John McCain.
Trump has reneged on virtually all of his major campaign promises, and I voted for him because I believed he was golden. For me that was *IT*, the final straw. Fuck this guy, and fuck all of the other guys.
As a general view separated from my bile, both sides play the public against each other as a series of distractions such as wokism or arguing over deviant gender politics. The Republicans are no better than the Democrats because they never build anything or solve anything.
Jo, I know you're so tightly wedded to the right-left paradigm that you don't see the Uniparty for what it is.
You still slavishly believe in this our team/sports team idiocy. I did too up until Trump started to make absolute hash of the direction of the country.
You made a declaration a few posts ago like I was sick in the head or something for hating Trump and made it out like my opinion was therefore untrustworthy.
BULLSHIT Jo. I'll put a finer point on what I think. I think Trump's turned his presidency into the Trump family business. I don't hate Trump actually just as I don't hate Biden and I don't hate Harris and I don't hate Obama. I am indifferent now to whatever lawfare the Dems want to abuse him with in the second half of his term. I don't care about Trump.
I've stopped having "my"people.
Trump does not intend to fix anything. It's stupid if you think he does.
Yes, he's done some good things. But: the national debt is out of control. Prices have and are skyrocketing. We're less secure militarily than ever. Trump's erratic behavior and backtracking has caused every other country to distrust anything the US does and to not trust any negotiation with the US. In terms of diplomacy we are a NUL character, our word now counts for absolutely nothing.
Plus Israel is a wicked ethnostate that virtually dictates American policy and Trump fully complies subverviently with Bibi.
Trump's track record is S! H! I! T!
Voting is important at the local level. At the congressional level and for president all of the agendas are locked in, basically irrespective of what voters want.
