While I agree with the heart of your comment, the true test is what Democrats do when they have more power. Historically, Democrats have often retained and even advanced policy they previously denounced, such as when Obama era politicians renewed and even extended parts of the Patriot Act.

I suspect there’s also some paralysis from not knowing what to do. Many US citizens seem to feel voting is futile, which is understandable: the Democrats seem to be scarcely better than Republicans save for a handful of issues, and some Democrats seem to be sliding to the right on those.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that more than voting is needed, but it’s much less clear on exactly what needs to and can be done with the limited capacity of the overworked, underpaid average American citizen.

Vote AND take action. The US is well past the point where voting alone can dig them out of their mess.

What boggles the mind is Trump’s followers will not see the glaring hypocrisy here, assuming they hear about this at all.

It’s the low-key paranoia from a lifetime of avoiding the world’s most venomous creatures, plus the heat. It breaks some people.

Imagine a world where finding one of these cunts in your shower isn’t unusual.

I promise I read through the git readme twice before asking: where did you find the $85 price?

Perhaps not never, but not now or any time soon.

And so begins…

American Election Shit Show 2026!

I’d argue they’re getting more than they voted for. I’m certain few of them wanted the increases in living costs and decrease in quality of life associated with the Trump administration. Otherwise, Trump wouldn’t keep trying to distract and displace the blame.

Just like Democrats, they voted for the promises their candidates loudly and publicly made, and either ignored, were never aware, or severely misunderstood the effects of their politicians’ past actions and what would come from their future actions. To be fair, it’s vastly easier to hoodwink American conservatives. They’re quite dim.

Disclaimer: not an American.

It’s necessary political theater. Republicans are the bad cops whilst Democrats are the good cops. Citizens tend to align to whichever party supports their personal philosophy - broadly, either working together or preventing, punishing, and purging the “bad” elements of society, both for a promised better future. Both are still cops, though, and receive their funding from the same types of interests. Sometimes the same donors. They’re largely on the same team.

This keeps the majority trapped in the political sports arena, thinking things will improve if only their party can finally get their way… but they just keep getting thwarted by those pesky Demonrats/Rethuglicans! They only need to keep voting blue no matter who or red even if brain dead and support harder while compromising more, then it’ll get better next term! The Democrats have been oddly inept for decades and the Republicans actively hostile toward their own constituents, but what’s the alternative? Voting third party? Criticizing their politicians? Hah! That’s handing the election to the other team, right? Right? They must hold the line!

So whichever party wins the majority throws their voters a bone or two, otherwise ignores their campaign promises whilst blaming the other party for it, and further erodes the overall rights of the American public, often strengthening the very rights eroding policy they earlier decried, á la Obama extending elements of the Patriot Act then signing the USA Freedom Act that furthered its aims.

I think you lost the thread, mate.

I’m uncertain if “everything I don’t like is AI” or “everything I don’t like is woke” is stupider, but I’m increasingly certain you’re in no position to insult anyone’s intelligence.

I am flabbergasted by the calibre of your response. I cannot comprehend how difficult it must have been for you to craft such a masterpiece, but it stands as a resounding testament to your level of intellect. You have changed my opinion entirely.

Bravo, brave sir. Bravo.

…that says "socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has, time and time again, collapsed into communist regimes…

LOL. ROFL even. Are these numpties thick enough to believe this shite or is it just performance for an uneducated populace?

Whilst you don’t even try to hide being an anthropomorphic wank stain.

It’s possible, just not probable because the people actually running the world don’t give a fuck about the rest of us.

These are the gay tokens you spend to play gay games to win gay tickets to exchange for gay prizes, right?
