    It is a democracy. The voters need to look in the mirror for the source of the problem.

    What issues are you referring to?

    We know they do not agree on immigration, although Biden has asked for an immigration bill.

    They do not agree on Ukraine

    No one knows Trump's stance on Israel/Gaza

    Abortion.......Trump flipped to being pro-abortion, so they agree

    Spending? Both spend, and Trump said he would have doubled the 2021 stimulus after he burned $6 trillion in 2020, so Trump is a bigger spender

    Trump keeps attacking the media, and Biden doesn't even mention it

    Biden is pro-NATO, while Trump wants to break it up.

    She was awful. Republicans need to own that. They have a lot to answer for. I wrote earlier:

    "The Republicans are the controlled opposition. They don't really want to win.
    This was an easily destroyable SOTU speech.
    1) Let's send your money to Ukraine on the other side of the world while Chinese nationals are building bio weapons labs right here in California!!! (they caught that one due to a code violation. They'd drilled a hole through the outer brick wall and stuck a garden hose through it. Otherwise, they might not ever have been caught and millions of US citizens might have died horribly.)
    2) Orange man bad! No new wars and wages rising relative to inflation for the 1st time since 1970???!?! Can't have that!!!!
    3) The Trans equality act!!! Moms! Cut your minor son's dick off to piss off his dad! Due to gender fluidity, grown men might shower next to your school girls, soaping up their lady dicks right next to your 10 year old daughter!!! Biological men will destroy your daughters in sports! Maybe even cripple or kill them!
    4) Abortions for everyone!!!
    Course, with children killed or sterilized, they'll need to import people to replace us. They'll be dangerous. Maybe they'll beat your daughter to death as she fights back from an attempted rape. But we need to make sure she's disarmed!
    Instead they put this ditz on TV to cry talk from her kitchen. So stupid it has to have been done on purpose. They don't want to win."
    If they're intention is to lose on purpose, why support them at all?

    First off you can’t believe a word Trump says, just like Joe. Their actions tell us everything.

    Trump did nothing about illegal immigration while potus, yet it was his biggest issue. Yeah dumb Joe clearly is importing immigrants in a big way, which Don wouldn’t do. Minor difference.

    On war they are one. Trump likely is worse on the Gaza genocide than Joe, which is scary. Trump talked about ending NATO, but did nothing.

    Taxes same. Social issues same. Supporting big corporations and billionaires, same. Doing nothing for the poor, homeless, and working class.

    I’m guessing Don is an establishment psyop. He was attacked ruthlessly by the establishment, yet did nothing to defend himself. He had enormous powers as president, but refused to use them.

    Great column outlining it…

    Lol. I don’t think so. We are a rapacious oligarchy and the oligarchs are psychopaths and sociopaths.

    When you get just TWO CHOICES for potus, you know the establishment has limited your choices on purpose.

    Voting in this country is a bad joke. It does nothing.

    They want to win, but don't understand why they're losing.

    And they certainly don't want to compromise to get there.

    That's why moderate Republicans are now called RINOS.

    For 16 years, voters have been voting overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate like POTUS.

    There's a reason for that.

    We are a republic that uses democracy as a way of choosing leaders. It doesn't work well because voters, like politicians, put their self interest ahead of the national interest and the common good.

    You need to understand that I don't vote either. Voting doesn't provide what I think the nation needs from government which is less of it. So I view it as corrupt and pointless and I don't participate in it.

    Oligarchs don't have political power. They influence it and that is part of the corruption. However they aren't psychopaths and sociopaths. They are just human and not more or less corrupt than the voters.

    The worst political system is a one party system. The next worst is a two party system followed by a multi party system. The best system is a no party system. Humans don't seem to be able to handle that. Most of them want a one party system. That won't go anywhere good.

    Yes, there are more liberal voters than conservative voters. That's the reason.

    Wow, I didn't think a MAGA would admit that.

    Elections aren't rigged anymore?

    Now that you've seen the light, do you know why there are more Liberals?

    We claim to be a republic, but clearly we aren’t. Corporate takeover of our government is complete. Both criminal gangs are controlled, as are most things in this country.

    Can't really agree. I cannot fathom otherwise, to explain why Mitch McConnell, for instance, used Republican funds to fund a R vs. R campaign in 2022 rather than other places where it might have made the difference. Why they put this ditz on who did a "touch back" when she could have gotten a touch down.

    And compromise is supposed to be, you get some of what you want but have to accept something you don't want. The recent border bill? It was sort of like saying, "we are NOT going to rob you blind and endanger your lives unless you first allow us to rape the $hit out of you" There was no upside. I don't need someone doing a "compromise" like this in my name!

    The reason there should be no compromise on border security is pretty simple. The democrats want to import future democrat voters. They say it is about asylum but if that were true they would support handling it at ports of entry where it can be controlled. They want illegal immigration because there is not control and no limits. That is bad government and bad politics. It is pure corruption. Illegal immigration is illegal for good reason and should not be tolerated by either side. The nation should never compromise on allowing illegal immigration.

    I'm not ashamed. I'm not interested in clearing it up.

    I do find it funny how much it bothers you.

    I’m trying to have a conversation on a political forum that exists for such conversations. I pointed out a pretty dumb error on your part so you could correct it and we could continue the conversation. But you clammed up and retreated under the guise of the “lol u mad” trope. It just reeks of weakness. If it makes you feel better, I got no satisfaction out of embarrassing you. I wasn’t even trying to do that. I don’t like punching down.

    then why are you bickering with me about this? You're not trying to have a conversation you're trying to shame me you said so multiple times.
    I didn't understand that that's what you were doing until after you bickered with me for a while.

    This is your failure in communication. I take responsibility for mine but if I don't understand what the **** you're talking about you need to take responsibility for yours.

    That's a lie I'm admitted to making mistakes I don't have any trouble with it. You're projecting on to me your foibles. This is how you would act if you got called out for a mistake.

    I explained to you I didn't understand that you were having trouble understanding my post when you responded to me you belligerently and arrogantly ignored that proving you are guilty of everything you are accusing me of.

    I failed to communicate I own that that was never in question. Like I said no shame.

    You also failed to communicate but you're too arrogant and self centered to accept it so you fabricated this scenario where I'm you.

    Just admit to it not doing that is your weakness.

    We were in the middle of a conversation. One of your posts in that conversation was incoherent. I asked you to correct it multiple times so that we can continue the conversation.
    Sounds like a reading comprehension problem on your part. I have repeatedly told you that your post is incoherent. Don’t blame your reading comprehension problems on my communication skills.

    Here’s just a small sample of the many times I’ve told you your post was incoherent.
    “I know what you are but what am I?”

    The calling card of an emotionally healthy person.

    Before your latest post, have you admitted that this post of yours is incoherent?
    Franky, I don’t believe that you had trouble understanding my repeated and unambiguous statements that your post was unintelligible. I think you are manufacturing that excuse because I have called you out for not owning up to your mistakes. I might give you the benefit of the doubt if you had eventually corrected your statement. Because that would show you’re not just trying to save face. But that isn’t what happened.

    Yet this is the first time you have admitted to making a mistake.
    I own up to my mistakes. But I won’t let you pin your own failure to acknowledge my plain English on me. Despite all that I would have taken the blame had you actually corrected your statement so we could continue the conversation. I admit to mistakes I haven’t made all the time for the sake of being cordial. But there was no cause to do that here.
    Can you point out what part of my statements that your post was incoherent was hard to understand? If you can point to any ambiguity in those statements I will accept responsibility for that. But I don’t think you can because you are pretending they were ambiguous in a desperate and pathetic attempt to save face. Which is crazy because there’s no shame in typos.

    Jerome Howard and Jerry Lewis were stars too.
    But not nearly as ridiculous.

    Good grief you are still on about this. I'm not reading all this pig ****.

    You never once asked me to correct it and this is the first time you should start out that way and maybe I'd be a little more receptive but you started out in a very condescending arrogant way so I responded in kind.

    You get what you give.

    Translation: “I read it all and it hurt my feels so I will pretend I didn’t read it so he doesn’t have the satisfaction of knowing he hurt my feels.” Don’t worry. I’m not getting any satisfaction out of hurting your feels. I don’t punch down.
    So you’re still denying facts? Sigh. Not sure what else I should expect from a Trumper. Once again, here is what I said.
    Is there a more polite way to set your post is unintelligible? How else am I supposed to communicate that? I can think of meaner ways to do so, like “your post is retarded,” but I didn’t say that. Perhaps you just need thicker skin so that you don’t clam up and run away the second someone points out that your posts contain typos that make it impossible to understand.
    Speaking of which, I’m tired of giving you my time. So you can have the last word, since that seems to be what is driving you to continue this conversation and continue denying blatant facts. Have at it. Tell me you didn’t read this post (even though you did) and it didn’t hurt your feels (even though it did) and that you’re a big tough guy.

    Best of luck to you.

    At this point I have no ****s to give about what you say I just want to see how long you'll run your mouth on it.

    Come on post another response bitching at me instead of focusing on the topic. It's funny.
