Yes. That’s correct. I am angry at lesser fascists for consistently losing to worse fascists because neither of them is exactly the kind of fascist I love best. With that kind of genius political acumen you could be a Dem consultant.

IMO, the Dems can't fix this on their own. They need sane Republicans to join in, which so far they've failed to do. Fox News propaganda is pervasive. If their audience had any clue what was going on, at least half of them would reject Trump in a heartbeat. Fox is at the core of sustaining the cult.

If Republicans are required to fix this America’s prospects are pretty dim. In fact if Democrats are required to fix this America’s prospects are pretty dim. We need ranked choice voting and more independent candidates to shake these parties to their existential core.

The biggest factor by far is the right wing propaganda of Fox and its ilk. I know several people who voted for Trump who know nothing but the talking points they regurgitate from watching Fox. Parties don't matter. Corrupted worldviews rule the day. That's what needs fixing. How, I don't know...

I agree. There is plenty of good alternative media available but people like their confirmation bias. And too many people just tune out because neither party fixes anything.

I don't buy that. Democrats worked to fix several things, against heavy Republican opposition. They rarely have had enough of a majority to do more. Just two defectors in the Senate was enough to limit what could be achieved. I don't blame Dems. It's the GOP that's screwed us. Unilaterally.

I mean, okay. If you want to defend the Democrats who refused to dismantle the filibuster in order to pass a single thing they campaigned on, do that. But you can’t claim that voting for them will help with school shootings, or medical bankruptcy or stagnant wages or education costs or housing…

Defend Democrats who refused to dismantle the filibuster? Just the opposite. I'm saying they're responsible for the Democrats failing to achieve more. We're appalled by school shootings. The other side worships their guns and thinks the answer is prayer. We pass bills for infrastructure... 1/2

They vote against it, then go to their districts and claim they got it done. They claim they're appalled by the massive debt. Then they go and pretend to cut waste, but add trillions more to the debt. It's the misinformation that's killing us. 2/2

Because ultimately there will always be that excuse that Senator Scumbag from Trash State just won’t go along with this. Which is not a problem Republicans ever have in passing their own agendas. And Americans aren’t going to be gaslit by that argument anymore.

America's prospects are pretty dim. Alas.
