We already are no longer “United.” We’re just the “States of America” now. Sorta like when Jefferson Starship became just Starship.

"Leave" and "Reform" might be a distinction worth exploring.

Sadly, the solution is not feasible. Recall the elected in all three branches. Start over. Cap contributions low, disallow investments of any kind, eject members for any illegal activity, term limits, no gerrymandering, etc.

Or: Remove the fascists by force; tar, and feather.

Which is more likely?

We used to agree to disagree and go forward with a compromise.

Typical slactivist, fauxgressive jargon by supposedly Democratic Party voters

Kinda like how we don't agree on DST.

We’ve already reached the point where one side thinks they should be in power even if they lose a free & fair election and staged a violent insurrection to prove that point. If you know how to fix that, let me know. Would you advise people to stay in irretrievably broken marriages, too?

The question we all might need to seriously ponder here is, at what point does this "relationship" as it were, cross a Rubicon over which return becomes impossible?

We're definitely in the frog-in-a-pot moment. When does the temperature become hot enough to jump out?

Cute sentiment cheerleader Bob, but we’re not even united on the basic tenets of democracy or the principles this country was supposedly founded on. If we can’t even agree on that cornerstone, what exactly is left to 'fix'?

I’m still amazed, that in four years, he kept getting the one judge that would save him, that nothing of true significance happened to him.

It’s like it was always rigged in his favor.

I assume that’s why despite: “illegal” …no arrests are being made. And people are still losing funding & jobs

If it’s illegal, why is the only thing that’s happening is the continuation of the crime?

If I was held at gunpoint, this would be where I take out my wallet? Then go to the ATM? Then sign over my property?

What does United mean if we don’t know what illegal means.

Oh, and it’s *everyone’s* house
