Pretty clear neither of these imperialists give a fuck about the people, and only care about its effects on the election. Reps make a big deal out of nothing to use against dems, and dems concede to them.

Just the usual ratchet effect

Go back and look at the '90s. Conservative Democrats are practically progressives by comparison.

[-] TengoDosVacas@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

90s Democrats gave us the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and they had previously agreed that yes, conservatives need a bigger voice in media and government. They literally laid the groundwork for fascism, like handing Hitler his PA system

Didn't Biden call the dude and enemy of the state on a few occasions?

Impeachment... Colluding with enemies of the state...

I'm being facetious of course, I'd rather they break the tradition of trying to impeach every president on their way out the door, but still, how you gonna have a meeting with someone you yourself called an enemy of the state?

Because he knows Trump is going to Trump and refuse to work with him. Biden's perspective= win win and shows the orange broke dumb shit is all smoke and mirrors.

Trump's supporters don't care, so all it shows that Biden is a fascist collaborator.

He probably doesn't remember.

The GOP as a whole is actively antagonistic with America. But you have to work with them if you want to get anything done.

Yes, we have one party here. But so does America. Except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!

There was bound to be a huge overlap between 100% Hitler and 99% Hitler.

Are you suggesting BOTH SIDES might have terminal flaws contributing directly to the downfall of the American society?

Are you suggesting BOTH SIDES might have terminal flaws contributing directly to the downfall of the American society?

If this were true I'd vote twice for both of them.

Trump: There's no "me" in "work together."

Biden might as well try to convince a rock that it can jump if it tries really hard.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

I love it. Make Trump and the GOP look like the obstructionists that they are.

Both red and blue governors want some sort of way to handle the record number of people crossing right now. That bipartisan bill would’ve easily passed if it was brought to the floor. But if the border started to chill out, Trump wouldn’t be able to complain about the border at the podium.

"record number"

Propaganda works, I see. Every election year.

There is no border crisis and never has been.

Anyone got the "tankies and the burden of being right all the time" meme on hand?

Our politicians may not always get along, but at least they agree about hating brown people.
