Former top officials from Donald Trump’s administration are warning he is likely to use a second term to overhaul the nation’s spy agencies in a way that could lead to an unprecedented level of politicization of intelligence.

How many times have the Democrats held power and done absolutely nothing with it? How long do we have to keep voting for the lesser evil? Why is the main platform the Democrats are running on that “Trump is evil, so vote for Biden”? Is the strongest candidate the Democrats can provide a genocidal old man?
I don’t expect anything substantial to happen with Democrats. Change will not come from them.
I do know that Republicans under Trump will do everything they can to actively stop change from the places it can come from, which is the bottom-up.
Far too often.
Until you can get enough people in the government who want to change it. Get rid of the FPTP system then you can vote for whoever you want.
…what sane person needs more than that? We already know how bad Trump was the first time, and we know already what he and his handlers are planning for a second term. I have no idea why that’s not sufficient motivation.
Again, the alternative is Donald Fucking Trump. Is Biden the “best” choice for America? If we’re talking in terms of progress, probably not- but he’s the best choice the money behind the Democratic Party is willing to support.
You have to keep voting for the lesser evil for another 40 years lol.
That’s all they have to offer. Until we get money out of politics both the dem and republican candidate will be sucking the dicks of their corporate donors.
Unless Biden does a 180 and changes his stance on a few issues I’m leaving president blank on my ballot. And I’m also voting against Biden in the primary for my state.
The DNC isn’t beholden to voters anyway, they already made that point a few election cycles ago.
If our country is so beholden to corporate donors that these are our two options, we are fucked anyways. We already live in an oligarchy.
This could change if we get rid of FPTP in favor of something like STV. Multiple viable parties means we can actually vote for people or parties closer to what we want.
It’s just impractical to go against the top 2 parties without doing so.
