    But he (Trump) and Elon Musk have questioned whether the judicial branch should be able to stop the executive.

    This is the exact path for a totalitarian dictatorship. And if history is any indication, Democrats will probably just file a complaint when democracy ends in USA.

        For enough money sent in, “you’ll get 2 republican votes for every base vote you lose” Schumer will adjust his glasses with a stern look on his face. That guy needs to go.

        Problem is that if you want to vote for the defense of democracy and progress and tolerance of it, there is nowhere to go. Because USA is realistically only a 2 party system.
        Obviously I prefer Democrats over Republican insanity. It’s just that in reality there is no real opposition to MAGA.
        And yes it is very much also the fault of Democrats, for failing to modernize democracy in USA.
        Democrats need to wake the fuck up, and skip a mentality where they push for an 80 year old President for Christ sake!!!

          The problem is that people aren’t able to think realistically and say shit like “Democrats need to go further left to win elections” even though anyone watching at all can see that the country is moving hard right and that strategy would’ve made them fail even harder

            No they are not if they had alternatives. Back with Hillary many polls showed that Trump voters would rather vote for Bernie Sanders than Hillary. And that Bernie Sanders had a bigger chance of winning.
            Obviously Bernie Sanders is way further to the left. But the moron Democrats wanted a more to the right wall street friendly candidate.
            And they got what they deserved.

              Yes all we need is a time machine because we know that we cannot suddenly generalize the public opinion of Bernie to also apply during a time where Trump wins an election handily.

                How is it different now? Trump won against Hillary, although he didn’t win the popular vote.
                Democrats had ruined their chances pushing Biden and demanding everybody pool together behind him.
                I personally liked Harris and thought she would win. Why she didn’t IDK, all I know is that the Democratic label is not very strong, and apparently she didn’t bring enough to swing the vote.

                  In general I just refuse to subscribe to this narrative that voters can be treated like wild animals and that you should never expect even self-preservation because: Democrat bad.

                  If Bernie were on the ballot this time around he would’ve lost and he might have even back then. Voters and society are trash. And it’s not even necessarily their fault if you zoom out far enough but it’s fucking true.

    Democrats are such a joke, I watched them get told there place for 40 years by Republicans and I haven’t seen them do anything other than pathetic reactionary performance, democrats prove you are worth a vote because after 40 years the Republicans stomped you and you are useless
