The problem is the same one as always: Dems whine, can't unite around any issue, don't have the guts for ugliness. Reps are a masterclass in ruthlessness and will to power. So we hold our noses and vote like hell for unfocused whiners. Splendid.
@publickovacs Its wild seeing politicians going to such insane lengths to carry out their voters wishes. We usually get "sorry, maybe next time" and that it's wise and prudent to accept that.
@JLong
I think that is trickle down at work: petulant narcissist Cheetofuck as Pres for four years enabled a lot of petulance and narcissism among voter base too. And those folks need pandering to
@publickovacs Agreed. The biggest trick they ever pulled was convincing nearly everybody the fight is left vs right and not top vs bottom.

Effing Marx called it š¤¦āāļø That is hard for me because I grew up under state socialism and its last gasp in Hungary
@publickovacs Was it pretty rough? I visited Hungary in 93' and loved it but i was 20 and things like that weren't on my radar at all.
@publickovacs Sorry to hear that. The vibe there was pretty magical. It was like the Russians left just before we got there and people were glowing. I remember seeing Russian trucks left behind with flat tires, and they had just started changing the street names back to their original Hungarian. Great memories.
