This is why I started a communal regenerative farm and donate to local food and clothing banks.

I always vote for the people. And there is one party that has consistently worked against the people my entire life. And that is the Republican party.

  • $2 billion a day to accomplish nothing in iran except kill one terrible guy which was replaced by someone just as bad.
  • billions being stolen and given directly to the president
  • billions being given to bail out Argentina
  • billions being spent to arm a Paramilitary invasion force loyal to the executive branch
  • billions being spent on for profit prisons to store "undesirables with inferior genes"
  • billions spent to surveil the people
  • billions being spent to protect pedophiles and child murderers

It's not a both sides thing.

It’s not a both sides thing.

It's very much a both sides thing though. Republicans haven't always been in power. When the Dems were in power, they could have solved many of the issues you have a problem with, but they didn't.

You can be mad about the republicans all you want, but the reason they won elections is because people were unhappy with what the Democrats achieved. And guess what? The reverse is true too. Next election will go to Democrats becuase people are unhappy with the Republicans. And back and forth. And back and forth.

The Democrats won't save you. Then haven't, and they won't. They don't care about you. They care about money. The Republicans won't save you. Then haven't, and they won't. They don't care about you. They care about money.

But you all keep voting for the same two fucking parties, and nothing changes. Nothing has gotten cheaper. Nothing has gotten better. BOTH parties suck because neither party cares about working-class americans.

Every single thing you are bitching about, could have been avoided. But nope, Democrats stood behind a guy with dementia, lied about it until it became so bad they couldn't hide the fact, then slipped in Harris at the last minute.

BOTH parties suck and I don't trust any of them until they start putting forward people who are less than 60 years old. If you have to have an aide read and send emails because you don't know how to use your phone, then you shouldn't be in office.

I will never vote for anyone who is over 60. I don't care what party, how awesome they are, or if I have to just withold my vote. No one over 60 gets my vote.

And I'll laugh as the world burns while you all get mad at people who say both parties suck. My life is awesome, and it doesn't depend on any of you guys. :)

The reason Republicans won the last presidential election is because disenfranchising elegible voters is a key Republican strategy. Also, because the Democrats strategy is to lean right and try to get conservative votes.

Look at the voter numbers in 2024 and compare with 2020. There wasn't a bunch of new Republican voters, there was a lot less Democrat voters.

I don't like the Democrats, but my child will be hurting from the Republican power grabs and terrible decisions for the rest of her life.

That's the strategy of every political party. LMAO If the Dems can't overcome that, that shows how weak they are. And vice versa.

Guess the Democrats need better candidates then!

Your child will be hurting from all political power grabs. And if the Democrats are saviors, they can fix it all when they come into power. But they won't. If the Democrats won't fix it, and the Republicans won't fix it...that sounds like...that sounds like...hey...BOTH parties suck. :)

Neither major party cares about you or your kids, or me or my kids. How has that not been made clear yet? LMAO

Exactly who are you mad at here? You sound mad at the Republicans. You sound mad at the Democrats. You know why? Because BOTH parties suck. lolol

So what are you going to do about it? You gonna keep supporting a 2-party system, even though they have both let you down all this time? You gonna keep letting people who are over 70 make all your decisions?
