The US political system has been destroyed by money. Many other western democracies are so much healthier than in the US because there’s very little money in politics.

Not sure what you’re talking about.

No, Democrats have to get a hold on the immigration issue. The only countries in this world where progressive policies actually thrive is where leftwing parties have adopted stricter immigration stances (e.g. Denmark). There’s no way around it.

Better than any R, which would have been the alternative. Don’t be a single-issue voter. That’s what put Trump back in the WH.
Perception is king. If people feel poor, even if they are not poor, they are poor.
I don’t think they can reverse anything after the fact. That money is gone. But they can definitely halt any new forgiveness.
Well, don’t complain. Trump’s billions for billionaires will eventually trickle down to you. Just kneel and hold your hand out. I promise, it will come eventually.
SCOTUS has been McConnell’s main focus his entire career for this very reason. And, unfortunately, he’s been extremely successful. It will have consequences for decades if not generations.
He did everything he possibly could but was derailed by Republicans in red states. He didn’t give up after the first setback and helped millions get relief. Did he get everything he wanted? No. But he did do a lot. But that’s all over now with Trump incoming and a Republican Congress.
And it will have repercussions for decades and decades. Many, even many younger people, will now not see any changes in the overall makeup of SCOTUS in their lifetime.
Problem is that almost all people who rise to power fit the description, more or less. What’s more disappointing to me ia that evangelicals are willing to completely undermine their own Christian witness by submitting to a leader who is, literally, the exact opposite of what they otherwise preach when they choose a leader, all for a few pieces of political red meat. I can’t take anything they say seriously.
Lots of young women actually voted for Trump. Go figure: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/yes-trump-improved-young-men-drew-young-women-rcna179019
That’s probably the only thing I can’t really imagine.
He’s already stated his plans to reinstate the debt and add retroactive interest.
When and where did he say that?
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Definitely not. I hope the younger generations learn their lesson and learn to to actually show up to vote if they get the chance to vote again. I’m not holding my breath.
So, I always thought it was just a mean bully thing to say, but, as a group, Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.
That’s all well and good, but there’s just something fundamentally wrong with this country. I love Jon Stewart, but I’m not sure the US can actually be fixed. If you’re not a white evangelical man right now, you’re in for four years of hurt and many of Americans did it to themselves. And the unfortunate truth is that four years of hurt won’t fix anything. Many will do it again next time.
Definitely. Democrats were too slow to realize how big the problem at the border was and just how much they were getting punished for it.
