A lot of idiots will still believe the Republicans are "good at the economy".
True, but given the GOP's election losses in 2025 and 2026, not enough of them.
Not that it matters. Democrats won't do anything about affordability either.
Yeah, the Democrats are a mix of assholes, ghouls, spineless jellyfish, and maybe some decent folks. It's sad that that's the best mainstream option, but I'd rather work with them than the frothing nightmares of the Republican party.
There's no good way out of this hell. But at least some socialists have won some elections
I think we're at the stage where we need a consitutional convention between states or just violence... like make the politicians scared to do ethical breaches.
It’s time for there to be 4 separate countries that each do thing their own way.
4 little americas, ya.... who gets the nukes??
Same as USSR. They stay where they were.
You know who likes the idea of 4 little Americas?? META, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN. That’s who will be buying the debt and dissolving the union.
Then we should try dissolving the corporation first instead... in 55gal polyethylene drums.
That’s…. Not how the USSR worked at all. There’s a whole war in Ukraine right now that’s based on Ukraine giving nukes away due to security promises America failed to fulfill.
Do you know where the nukes are now? Do you think that the Confederate states of America might try to you know….. do the thing again??
So where did those nukes end up when USSR dissolved? Right where they were until some years later when a deal was made to move them. I don't think you got me as hard as you think you did.
???? So where do our nukes go after we decided it’s really unsafe for 4 unstable newly minted countries to? I’m sure all the little quadrants of new America would love to concede their power.
It's odd that you think that I am responsible for solving all these issues before anyone has even broached it as a possible approach.
