    You know none of those are “wins” right? Garcia is where? Trump’s admin is not following the supreme courts orders (and they seem to not care), They are still rounding up people and putting them in camps and as far as I can tell your federal employees are still fired crippling your government further.

    This is just more of the odd “teams” nature of what the usa has become, and now both “teams” are in their own silos reading their own news about how the other side is “losing” all while the free world burns.

            Exactly. They passed the CR and Schumer blew what leverage Dems had at that moment.

            Or you know, maybe putting up a bit more of a fight by not actively voting for trump’s picks like Bessent or Duffy. Not exactly Ws, but 🤷

              Schumer can suck my balls any day of the week but one thing he was right about was trumps agenda would back fire all on it’s own. I still think he’s a pussy bitch and we’ll never see any real payoff on it but right now trump owns the shit economic down turn and a government shut down would have just allowed more scapegoating.

          How do you propose they do that? Keep in mind that your proposal must not give up more power to Republicans.

            Urgh, no they are not “keeping” power from the republicans at this point. The usa is ether A) needing new parties or B) done

              I understand the sentiment (believe me, we agree more on the democrats than we disagree), but unless you’ve got some guns you’re gonna go shoot in DC that’s probably not gonna be how it happens.

              Otherwise, we cannot get new parties (with legit political power on a federal level) without serious election reform, reform that will only happen from within the current party structure. So while we need new parties in the long run, we’ve got some work to do for which we are going to have to work with Democrats.

                Not an american. Fix your shit please, not really going to tell you how to do it, just know that the world is watching your stupid tribalism in action and are getting sick of the states painting literally everything in blue or red. You don’t have a functioning democracy at the moment and its looking like soon will not have a functioning rule of law, at what point will the american people realise they are in that part of the history books?

                  Yeah, you’re dead on, and believe me, a lot of us know it, and I hope we do fix it. I’m doing as much as I can I guess, and I promise that there are a lot of other people doing what they can, even if its not publicized like the bad stuff. We’ll see if it matters in the end.
