    this fucking bill includes a 100$ fee (that will increase matched to inflation) to declare asylum at the border. The government IS the cartel.

          A system informed those voters to vote through propaganda, or in many places, made it difficult or impossible to vote. We got to start blaming the people with the money and lobby power instead of each other. Fuck trump and his supporters, but most especially the billionaires who paved the road to his election.

            The system didn’t make it difficult or impossible for eighty million people to vote that’s just people not caring enough to get out there and do it.

            I will blame them as much as I blame Trump’s supporters.

              OK. That logic will absolutely not win elections or change discourse but at least you want to punch Nazis with me.

      What was inflation like during Biden’s presidency? I agree that Biden did some good things but framing him as fantastic is a bit much, especially to the average person who doesn’t give a shit about most of the stuff he did. American voters are supremely selfish and Biden didn’t do much for them, at least not in an immediately visible way which is what he needed to do.

      Just look at what’s happening now. There’s tons of bad things happening currently that I would call highly visible and polls consistently show that most Americans have no idea that any of it is going on. Biden made some solid efforts but almost none of it spoke to people on a personal level and that was his big failure. He thought Americans were paying attention when he needed to go out and grab their attention.

          You’re arguing from an informed and logical perspective. That’s not how modern elections work in the US. Voters didn’t know or care that inflation was worse in other places. They knew they were getting fucked in a back alley and Biden wasn’t helping them put their pants back on. That’s really all there is to it.
