DISCLAIMER: I’M NOT FROM USA.

From the outside looking in, it seems like at least half of the inaction of the “left” is because ol’ Chucky just hinders everything.

“We wrote a strong letter” was probably the first time I actually, genuinely didn’t understand how he’s still the leader of the party.

Since then I’ve done some digging, and it seems like the guy is actually quite delusional. Not even his imaginary friends vote for him, which is kinda sad. Understandable though.

Now he’s talking about voting on whether they should block the military action in Venezuela. The ongoing one. The one that’s been planned publicly for months.

So, how does he still have his job?

    How does/did Schumer, Grassley, Graham, Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein, and so on, stay in power? I always get downvoted and naysayed when I say this, but American voters fucking suck. Just the absolute worst. People will blame the two party system, and they do have a point there, but those same people don’t show up in the primaries to make a difference. They’re too scared to vote for change, as they’ve shown over and over. Just a bunch of ignorant, self-satisfied, cowards.

      We did show up to the primaries enough to make a difference in 2016. We voted for Bernie Sanders as our candidate. The DNC told us all to go fuck ourselves, they’re a private institution, they can do whatever they want, the votes are just a formality, and appointed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic candidate instead.

      Please, tell me more about how it’s fault of the voters.

        Ah, I thought that Hillary ended up getting more votes. I must be wrong. I’m in no way denying the fuckery that went along with it, from the DNC to media doing everythign they could to keep Bernie out, but in the end, voters are the ones who vote. Tell me again about how it’s not ultimately the voters. And most tellingly, we weren’t discussing the presidency, which is a whole bag of issues, but Congressional representation. Fucking voters 100%.
