My (and other) country being threatened with invasion? Not only ruining your only economy but intentionally destroying countless others? Setting up nazi-esque camps? LGBTQ+ people being othered to the point of violence? What is wrong with you

Even if the Democrats did absolutely nothing the moment they got voted in to the day they were voted out, it’d be immeasurably better than the shit the Republicans are doing.

This way of thinking is why the rest of the world is getting pissed off at ALL Americans, not just the Republicans.

Edit: do some harm reduction and THEN fight for better politics. With the way things are going there’s only going to be one party to “vote” for anyway

That’s the cycle though: Dems win a scintilla of power, do nothing, and then lose to the republicans who fuck shit up.

Its been ratcheting like that my entire life.

It’s been “vote for harm reduction “ my entire life

It’s not ever going to get better.

And the world should be pissed at all Americans. We’re clearly fucking awful. I hate all Americans and I am one
