    Blame paddle-holding impotent Democrats unwilling to be aggressive and limp-dick Republicans scared of MAGA base. The government is full of dipshits scared of losing power

          i guess this all comes down to what cowardice is, because i would argue the cowardice is the root of the complicity. they’d rather go along with things than risk the comforts they’ve gained. they refuse to standup and do what is right because that would be scary. better to maintain the status quo, even as it collapses into a new, worse, status quo, than to risk losing some luxuries to ensure that their constituents, us, get the best possible outcome in this situation

            The question is: do they even want to do the right thing? Look at Fetterman, for example. I don’t think he’s a coward. I think he’s just wrong.

      Replace Democrats with Americans. You have reached the point where doing nothing against it is a form of approval for it.

      This is true. They could be the opposition, together, and they choose not to be.

                You are correct as that I can’t read at an adult level due to my brain damage, but don’t try to deflect that you are just as much as a useless dumb fuck as well.
