It's over for your democracy. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago (4 children) It's the Democrats. They still haven't realized that the game is over. Nobody's playing by the rules. Why would they start during an election? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 child) So long as the donor checks keep clearing, establishment Dems are happy to play spoiler for big business and let Trump destroy the country. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago Until the money is worthless and they realize they're the frog in the saucepan. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 5 points 1 year ago The democrats have handed Trump the country on a plate. As a non American I've been saying the American "Empire" will fall eventually, I never thought it would be to a fascist, and with a wimper. permalink fedilink source parent [–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) It’s the Democrats. It is Americans as a whole. 1/3 of then didn't even bother voting. They get what they have coming to them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago Yup. Our system is fundamentally broken, but the bottom line is Americans failed. It was entirely possible for us to stop all this and we chose not to. Shit electorates make for shit countries. We're going to be circling the drain for the foreseeable future. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) It’s the Democrats. It's the people blaming the politicians instead of doing something about it. But almost no one cares until they get ICe'd. That's human nature for you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago Both are happening. It's important to understand what went wrong so when you with on a fix, you won't make the same mistake. People can both bitch about politicians and also help fix the problem. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) It is looking more and more like the election was stolen. Edit: You are blaming Americans for screwing up the previous election becuase this next one will not be fair.....when the last one you are blaming Americans for was already rigged. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago there's a reason for that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] csverdad@midwest.social 1 point 1 year ago Does it matter at this point? Seeing how fundamentally rotten every other part of our government has become is what’s really broken my heart. The president didn’t make all of these lawmakers roll over, the supreme court blatantly disregard the constitution, or these hate-filled minions put panty hose over their faces and go around kidnapping their neighbors. The president isn’t making people stand by filming all of this madness instead of doing anything to stop it. permalink fedilink source parent
