A competent VP pick could've gone a long way in assuring people at least one person who wasn't a clown would be in the White House. Instead, they went with a crossbreed of Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck.
Andy Baheer tried to use the police to arrest people for going to church. Oh and don’t forget this little gem

If I was an objective observer from outer space I'd agree with this take.Good post. Disagree with the last bit though. Its all just spectacle. There is nobody speaking up effectively.
I think your prognosis is correct. The system is cooked. Well and truly corrupted. No independent media, an absolute DELUGE of corporate interest money, AIPAC.
It stands yo reason that the salvation of a truly broken system will not be generated by that same system. Democrats and Republicans both are just two sock puppets on the hands of the corporate monoparty.
Eisenhower warned us about this , and over the years weve all gradually lowered our guard to the point now that the entire system is corporatist, entirely and only democratic, superficially.
Most troublingly, while it seems like there are increasing feelings of unease among yhe American people, of feelings that the game is rigged, these feelings seem to have been channeled through our worst collective aspects. The growing awareness that there is something rotten in the state kf Denmark has itself been captured and funneled into supporting fucking Donald Trump of all people. The worst example and the very distillation of these very same excesses and antidemocratic tendencies.
We need to Jump Out Of The System here. It cant ve reformed from within. We see how the burgeoning dissatisfaction with how things are going was cynically redirected by the real estate conmanphile prostitution guy.
AOC ain't gonna fucking do it.
He's a Democrat winning in Kentucky and one of the most popular governors in the country.Andy Baheer tried to use the police to arrest people for going to church. Oh and don’t forget this little gem
Tentative $12 billion Purdue Pharma settlement puts spotlight back on Andy Beshear
Gov. Matt Bevin, who is facing a tough challenge from Beshear this November,\u00a0didn't wait long\u00a0to\u00a0use the news as a battering ram against his rival.
My God, he perfectly embodies several of the more severely TDS stricken posters here. Exact same talking points as well.
Funny how they used to brand themselves as a big tent party during the Obama years. That all seemed to go away in 2020
The problem is that not everyone will vote BECAUSE of what the left has become. Every time AOC or Crockett or Omar open their mouths, centrists move right or abstain. The left lied about Bidens mental health. They lied about the border and inflation. They pushed unlikeable candidates with no plan. Kamala was the option? WTF? If you got a strong Dem with no flaky progressive politics, I am sure they could make waves. But instead they continue to push weirdos. The election was lost when Kamala was asked what would you do different and she replied "Not a thing".
Not for most people. The media covered hard for him here. Also, you can look at how the votes breakdown. The majority of the actual state doesn’t like him at all. He just gets votes in Lexington and Louisville.

That was the nail in her coffin. I imagine her campaign advisors were facepalming at that moment. If it weren’t for GWB, Biden would’ve been the worst president of my lifetime. That admin and its policies were mostly dogshit and wholly unpopular.
It may just be because he was mentally already done. But the border disaster will be hurting us for decades to come. Kamala would have been worse. 4 years of more damage and no action. She had no business being pushed.
It's hard to imagine that she didn't get a nudge by her handlers to say something like that. She was in a weird spot in trying to convince people that she was the right choice for change, but by doing so also had to admit that she's been part of a failing administration that she strongly defended for four years straight.
Dems talk out both sides of their mouths. They want everyone to have healthcare, so I would assume that means healthcare that’s worth a shit. Then they willingly allow 10 million + undocumented welfare recipients to the economy. NY Medicaid went to shit as a direct result of the Biden admin and I watched it happen. For example, they only cover one brand of long acting insulin and now it’s on back order everywhere. So fucking stupid. The GLP-1’s they used to cover aren’t now ….. Just 3 years ago NY Medicaid was really good. Lots of people had to change their treatment programs due to their meds becoming unaffordable.
