      And then the article:

      “The poll shows 1 in 3 Americans support continuing to send random brown people to a gulag in El Salvador on the off chance it lowers grocery prices.”

      If it’s really that hard for people to tell that biden is no longer president, that’s a damning indictment of the biden presidency.

        It’s an indictment of propaganda. Biden’s presidency was 1000x better that the shit-show we have now and if someone can’t tell the difference then they have their head up their ass or are drinking conservative propaganda through a fire-hose.

          Yeah, that speaks to how bad harris’ campaign was. A significant portion didn’t even know she was running.

                Yes, she did plenty wrong… but you cannot evaluate that without the context and alternative

                If you have cancer and they tell you chemo is your only shot at living even thought it will be painful… you cannot set yourself on fire and pretend it was chemo’s fault for not being a better choice

                  Not everything that inflicts pain is a cancer cure. But damn, people who like inflicting pain sure like to pretend it is.

                    Ok, so how is tRump a better alternative?.. please justify your answer.

                    Also notice I did not portrait chemo as a cure… only a painful living extension.

                    YOU (I am assuming you are American) have been sleeping at the wheel of your democracy for 30 years or so, if you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, with no easy solutions out of the mess, you only have yourselves to blame (and here I am saying “YOU” as in “The American People”, all the boilerplate exceptions apply)
