    Not to mention that MOST of the problems they are bitching at Biden for not fixing were caused by them in the first place and then they blocked Biden from any efforts to fix it.

    They set the fire, slash the firetruck’s tires and then have the audacity to blame the firefighters for not putting it out.

    I don’t love Biden, but damn, he is trying to do some good things and being blocked at every turn.

    Oh 100%

    Manchin and Cinema are Dem in name only, their actions are GOP at every turn.

    Don’t forget, 3 of the 5 SCOTUS were appointed by Trump, so everything happening with them now is from that and Biden doesn’t have power to stop that.

    And either way, both Dem and GOP are Right Wing parties and their goals are more or less to maintain the status quo, benefit corporations and elites, keep power, etc.

    Neither party has interests or incentives to truly progress things that benefit people, except in maybe a scrap or two to get votes.

    We don’t really have a government by the people and FOR the people right now. If we did we would have Ranked Choice Voting, no more Electoral College BS, no more Gerrymandering, Voting Day would be a federal holiday, mail in ballots would be universal and accepted, etc etc etc.









  • I saw this a few years ago and it has stuck with me.

    “The economy isn’t talking about me and you, it’s referring to corporations and executives and shareholders and such.”

    The economy could be doing amazing and we have 50% unemployment.

    The economy could also be doing terrible and we have 0% unemployment.

    The economy could also be doing amazing and the workers don’t make enough to survive.

    It isn’t measuring what many people seem to think it is. It isn’t a measure of “how well the average person is doing” at all.

    I don’t know why I’m bothering typing this, but…

    You do realize that language evolves and changes, what sounds odd to us may not in 20 years and what sounds normal now may have sounded odd 20 years ago.

    Yes there are some rules, but also those rules are subject to change too.

    Saying stuff like this 40 years ago would sound absurd: Google it, search it up, tweet it, download it, upload it, post it.

    Language changes, thou cannest changeth with it or thee will eventually and indubitably sound like a right silly nincompoop, knave!
