  • Oh, you mean Operation Warp Speed, which Trump announced on May 15, 2020 after 100k deaths in the US?

    Did you know it was funded by the CARES act, which was introduced into the House by Democrat Joe Courtney on January 24, 2019? Yup, Democrats were introducing Coronavirus legislation over a year before Trump “Warp Speeded”.

    But Trump completely bungle testing, couldnt make sure medical personnel had access to protective gear, he continually lied about how serious the pandemic was and spewed misinformation about quack cures like hydroxychloroquine. At a time when America needed unity, Republicans divided it with anti-mask rhetoric, which they continue even today.

    But yes, at least Trump signed the CARES Act bill. “Ta da”



  • There is no mindset keeping people from voting third party. It’s impossible for anything but a two party system to result from a First Past the Post system. It’s not a bug, as they say, it’s a feature.

    There is no momentum, it will always fail. Go to Wikipedia and look up the article “Political Parties in the United States”. They have a chart showing the popular vote break down going back to Washington. Check out 232 years of history telling you how ineffective and useless it is to vote 3rd party in our current system.

    You have to get rid of the Electoral College and FPTP FIRST, before a vote for an alternate candidate will ever have any meaning. This isn’t my opinion. It’s reality, and it’s time you joined it.




  • Well, East Coast ghouls can rip I really dig those fangs they bare And the Southern ghouls with the way they kill They drain me low when I’m down there The Midwest Werewolves’ slaughter Really lasts all moonlit night And the Northern ghouls with the way they hiss They keep their thralls dead cold all night…

    I wish they all could be blood-suh-sucking ghoooouuuls

    In his story, his friend’s mother boldly picked mushrooms from her backyard, cooked them into an omelet for the family, but DID NOT EAT the omelet herself.

    Nothing would stop her from growing old while continuing this pattern of bold collecting, although a stint in prison might make for an earlier retirement than expected from the foraging scene.

    I’m not under any delusions. ANY political party wielding power is going to make decisions that help some people and hurt others. It can’t be helped it’s the nature of power itself.

    I’ll repeat, the Democrats have won the popular vote 7 out of 8 times since 1992. They have the more popular policies on their side, and only have to fight rhetoric like yours. What are you doing to help change the Democratic party, hm? Tea Party and MAGA have each managed to get their fucknuts into power and change the direction of the Republicans towards fascism. What’s your plan, how does whinging in comment section trying to create voter apathy towards the Dems do anything but put Trump in office?

    In life, you have two mutually exclusive options: you can be right about something, or you can be effective. So you go ahead and keep on being the rightist guy in the room. The people who focus on being effective will manage to work around you.

    “what should be an easy election” <- this is how we know you are campaigning for Trump. There is no such thing as an easy election. Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote in 7 out of 8 elections, but that didn’t stop Bush from beating Gore, or Trump from beating Clinton.

    lol, all your type does is talk about dems dems dems, not a single word about Republicans or how much worse they have proven to be when they are in office.

    Trump said he would help Israel end the genocide, I guess that’s what you want after all, right?

    At least you named yourself appropriately. Lazy. Otherwise, you would know that Obama attempted to provide a public option for healthcare. You do realize how politics works, right? You need a certain amount of votes and support in order to pass new legislation. If you don’t have enough votes on both sides of the aisle, then you change NOTHING. So yes, one side, the Democrats, tried to provide healthcare that had a public option, and the other side, the Republicans, fought tooth and nail to stop it.

    And you blame Obama. <polite golf clap>
