    Fucking scum bags.

        I bet the same people that have been buying this bullshit for the last 50 years are buying it now.

              You’re right, it’s not true. People need to get out of their bubble and listen to public radio in the states. Even the supposed non-biased ones love peddling the BOTH SIDES narrative bs. This is why races are almost always 50/50

        Well, they’re supposed to just roll over and let them do what they want! How dare they ask for facts, reason, and properly ran debates! The temerity of it all!

          It’s more than that. Gallup just released pool results that make it look like Republicans could win big the next election.

          The USA as a group is astoundingly stupid.

            Polls also said the 2022 election was supposed to be a huge red wave, and instead dems kept the senate, and republicans only got a tiny majority in the house, one so small that they just had the first speaker ever voted out of the position

      The one thing Republican Kevin McCarthy dared to do that was over-the-line was to work with Democrats to avert shutdown for the sake of the country. But that was too much for the right-wing extremists, who caused this in the first place…

          I don’t understand what you’re saying. Yes, they voted with Democrats to remove him. That’s the entire context for my comment: they didn’t like that he dared to work with Democrats (for one moment) to avert a government shutdown.

          As for Democrats, they have learned that they can’t trust him as he’s gone back on his word and agreements multiple times, as Pramila Jayapal said in her statement.
