@AGHamilton29 Every Republican member of Congress has failed to do anything substantive unless you count the tax break for billionaires and repeatedly bending the knee to Trump.
@HarmeetKDhillon Harmeet you’re an irrelevant failure. Everything you and the entire admin has done for two years has been an abject failure. You contributed nothing and will be a sad footnote to this entire debacle.
Then why didn’t you wait more than two days to celebrate accountability in January 2024? Certainly not enough time to judge the Donroe Doctrine and tariffs, although it did give you time to consider the day one EOs, like the mass pardon of J6 criminals. And then, once Trump’s economic policies resulted in disaster after disaster and you could assess them for yourself, you didn’t even get the accountability you and Flynn advocated for. All maga does is lose and flail.
First, the proposals you mention are not official Dem positions, and although some Democrats have proposed them, many Dems disagree. Second, none of what you mentioned is unconstitutional. Eliminating the Electoral College would require a constitutional amendment, and admitting new states is expressly authorized by the Constitution. If it passes, it's law. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
What's shocking is that you're suddenly concerned about politicians manipulating institutions to consolidate power. Where was that concern when Republicans denied Merrick Garland even a hearing for his SCOTUS nomination? Or when Trump orchestrated an unprecedented nationwide mid-decade gerrymandering campaign expressly designed to manufacture Republican House seats? Or when Trump promised Americans $5000 and medical care for veterans but only if his party won the midterms? Was any of this for any reason other than to solidify power?
How exactly do these hypothetical Democratic abuses compare to a president who actually tried to overturn an election he lost? MAGA dopes in Congress have introduced bills to put Trump's face on the $100 bill, put his face on Mount Rushmore, rename Greenland 'Red, White, and Blueland,' make Trump's birthday a federal holiday, etc. Based on your logic, because Repubs did this, all Repubs must believe this nonsense.
You seem hypocritically outraged by Democrats potentially exercising constitutional powers but seem to have no issue with Republicans actually abusing theirs.
That there were enough people standing in Trump’s way to stop his overturning of the constitutional order does not absolve him or his supporters for what he did following the 2020 election. Trump still claims the election was stolen constantly. He hawks Trump 2028 hats out of the Oval Office.
Notice you also didn’t address the numerous other insanities of this admin I mentioned.
No other person or party has done 1/1000th the damage to our democracy as Trump. And no Democrat advocates for the overturning of our constitutional order.
@SimonJester98@Jusoon3@infantrydort@NoVA_Campaigns Dort’s a real douche for his remarks about Senator El-Sayed. We don’t point at civilians playing the military card while screaming at them that we’re more patriotic. If you can’t comprehend that, your the douche.
@mitchellvii I’d almost rather have republicans continue to delude themselves into thinking their candidates and policies are so popular there’s no way they could actually lose elections than to change course away from MAGA dumbassery and become politically competitive again.
The cost of nationwide policing is equivalent to New Zealand’s GDP. The cost of prisons is equivalent to Kenya’s GDP. We are a massive country with a massive economy. Comparing US govt expenditures to Luxembourg illustrates nothing about whether or not that sector is properly funded in the United States.
@wcdispatch@grok - Voters cited government corruption as one of their top concerns in the midterms. Were they angry about the corruption DOGE supposedly uncovered, or something else entirely?
