I just know Trump was at dinner with some Russian oligarchs and they started picking on him, saying how his country is being screwed by all the others. He had to do these tariffs to look cool to his rich friends. #tarffis #trump #oligarchy #russia #america

We don’t fear them. Disinterested, disillusioned voters and a failing Democratic Party are what got us here. And I say that as a democrat, if you love something you should want it to get better. People like Trump because they don’t care about politics they hear a blurb of his lies and believe it.

I can’t stand this position they’ve allowed themselves to get trapped in. By being the bigger person they are forced to take party losses every step of the way. And now that we’re in this position we can never act out because then we’re just sore losers or hypocrites. And if both parties 1/2
Abby Monis (@abby-monis.bsky.social) reply parent
Right, the issues isn’t necessarily voting yes. It’s a tough position to be in and I can see the argument made for both yes and no. The issue is the lack of unity in the party. They make each other look stupid and weak. Republicans are able to divide and conquer.
