Cynical and defeatist…yes, you’re right. Last year’s election broke me. I will never look at my country the same way again. We proudly chose corrupt despotism and with the vote(maybe)in Congress this week on the Epstein files we may choose something unfathomable. Nevertheless, I wish you well.

Nah..if we had stayed with mama there would have been no Civil War due to chattel slavery, we wouldn’t be awash in gun violence and we’d have national health insurance. Not to mention Trump. I’d say the founders experiment kind of failed? A representative republic that we couldn’t keep.

Yeah…they’ll be +30 Ds for two years then vote for Vance because “socialism”.

Doesn’t someone need to ask her why she sought a pardon from Trump for 1/6?

No. Perhaps you should read the “about us” part of the DSA website? FDR was a capitalist through and through. The economic systems of the social democracies of Europe are capitalist. DSA wants to replace capitalism. Not my words, their words. Social democracy is not democratic socialism.

I wonder how many Christians in Nigeria are starving because USAID was cut?

It nearly ended in 1983, the most dangerous year in human history. I was there at CIA. For those of you who don’t remember the Cold War I can’t explain the existential dread everyone lived under. Watch House of Dynamite or The Day After, or if you are brave enough Threads. Don’t be naive. Take care.

AOC running in ‘32 will sound exactly like Bill Clinton in 1992.

I was a door knocker for Lamb in his Congressional races. He is solid here in western PA. He knows how to talk to the red cap blue collar types and knows how to counter and beat the MAGA bs pols. Plus as 1/6 proved he’ll literally throw a punch if need be. Marines are know for their square jaws.

“Everything you read, when he came in he was good. They built tremendous highways and got all the factories going. He went nuts, he went berserk. I think his own generals tried to kill him, didn’t they? Everybody knows he was good at the beginning, but he just went too far.”

One way or another in our history. But I don’t think this MAGA bunch has the stomach for much of a butcher’s bill. Vote! And keep voting! Throw a punch or two if you have to…
