    I would expect politicians to have better ideas than the ineffective shit they have been doing this year so far. Considering that I don’t believe that politicians at the national level are all actually that dumb, it has to be on purpose. There’s certainly DNC politicians who are sincere about wanting avoid fascism, but they aren’t the ones who run the party.

        Don’t pretend like the DNC aren’t to blame for not getting enough votes. Look at how hard they fumbled the last national election, and how they’re treating Mamdani.

        Dems had the presidency for four years. They had Congress for two years. With that same amount of power Donald has accomplished everything he wants.

        Did you notice those special sessions Abbott just did in Texas?

        The US president has the same power. He could have kept Congress in session for four years straight until he got what he wanted by sheer force of will.

        But that assumes he gives a shit.
