What does it say that you keep joining Senate Republicans to vote for their crappy legislation? From voting YES to confirm Charles Kushner to be ambassador to France to the recent crypto bill to everything in between. Seriously dude, what's up?

We'll see what happens but right now Democrats are really lost in the wilderness & are completely befuddled on what to do & how to do it. Kicking David Hogg out of the DNC is really awful & one of the worst things the party could've done. Stupid stuff that alienates young people completely. /3

Therefor many people stay home & don't vote or only vote in local elections. I understand it fully. Most of America isn't represented by either Republicans or Democrats. I do think if Tim Walz runs he has a really good shot. He's authentic & a FDR Democrat who's in touch. /2

I think what's really needed is someone who really represents the lower classes in this country. It was such a huge mistake by not nominating Bernie both the times he ran. We had a chance to really make this country great & everything we dream about but we're not allowed to have nice things. /1

I think that if there's a threat of players being "disappeared" & removed then they'd likely care but ya I hear ya.

There's no question democracy is in huge trouble. We need to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. It's not right with what's happening.... /End

"Save democracy!" while we don't have actual primaries, cancel primaries & automatically award it to the President, sue third parties to keep them off the ballot, don't have debates, sitting members of Congress not debating their primary challengers, are all about gerrymandering, on & on. /1

Really? How odd. Maybe take some time to read my timeline. Use logic, rational, & critical thinking. I go after Republicans quite often. I'm not into sportsball toxic tribalism when both parties serve the wealthy donor class instead of us.

That was pretty gross & racist for sure. Nobody's disputing that. At least I hope nobody is on here.
comment in response to post
No it isn't "bullshit". I'll tell you though what is. The outright refusal to acknowledge reality that the policies of both Democrats & Republicans is pretty darn awful when it comes to immigration policy. It's not like it's anything new after all. You have to fight for better things ❀️

It's ok. We're only human after all & we all make mistakes. Don't be so hard on yourself πŸ€—

Do you know how long it took me to get my "green card" & residency in Germany? Literally 45 minutes. No joking. That's it. They took my picture, ran my name through Interpol & others, had a 20 minute interview, & done. I was shocked & it really shed light on just how bad our system is.
comment in response to post
What has to be done is a complete re-do of our immigration system itself. It's a leftover relic from the Cold War era & is not only wrong but out of touch especially today. It's really bad. My X is German & when we got married & applied for residency they were told they can't leave USA for 5 years!

I'm thinking you don't know what happened under Obama & I'll guess that you don't because the other side of the coin is you are disingenuous. He was called "Deporter In Chief" for good reason. You have to recognize that both the GOP & Dems have been awful on immigration. That's reality. /1
comment in response to post
It's all good. It's not as if we all haven't done that lol If that's a crime I'd be sitting on death row πŸ˜‚
comment in response to post
So you're anti-democracy then?
comment in response to post
Nuance & context is important here. Both parties have failed us drastically when it comes to immigration policy. I had 6 friends deported when Obama was POTUS & Biden VP. None of them were "violent criminals". They simply were making better lives for themselves & their families.

Ya have to use the "/s" lol It's difficult to tell what's sarcasm & what isn't especially in this day & age. I mean Onion headlines looks like reality after all lol
