@AngieYaqui@MaggieHalowell@itsJeffTiedrich Democrats observe
civil service protections and regulations, thus tying their hands. Republicans appoint dangerously unqualified f*%ktards whose only goal is to grift and steal. It's asymmetrical warfare.
@AndrewYang Good God! Maybe starting as the mayor of a small town, member of a state legislature, or congressman might have been more appropriate than jumping straight to president or mayor of NYC with zero credentials. That might fly with Republicans, but Democrats expect more.
@Crusher58@gtconway3d Some of them were good people, like Senator Baker. Plenty of the others were still bastards. The difference is the electorate would have punished them if they didn't go along. Our electorate isn't that smart or decent. The voters got shittier, and the politicians were emboldened.
@DavidCornDC He's ivy league educated. He just plays a dumb yokel on tv. That makes his routine all the more despicable. He knows exactly what he's doing.
@RobertB87482065 @silent_second @PreetBharara It was neither his family nor his business. The little bastard carried a firearm across state lines to where he wasn't legally allowed to possess it. He went looking for trouble and there are videos of him fantasizing about killing protestors weeks before he did it.
