    You guys ever notice how it’s always the democrats that break rank but never the republicans?

    It’s also always just enough democrats to make sure republicans always get what they want.

    Why people keep voting for them is beyond me. They must be stupid or something.

      Who should we vote for otherwise? Every other option leads to Republicans staying in power, and they are the ones actually doing it.

      Don’t vote? That’s fewer votes the Republicans need to win, so they stay in power.

      Vote third party? That splits the opposition vote, and Republicans stay in power.

      And no, neither of those choices “teach the Democrats a lesson.” It just drives them to go to the people who do vote, who are more right wing, so it drives everything further right.

      You want a more left wing party? Show them that the left votes and our votes have value.

      It’s because both parties are owned by the same Israeli lobby and the Zionist tech bro oligarchs. It’s not even a conspiracy it’s easily verifiable. Epstein and Gizzline worked for Israel to collect blackmail for Israel. We pay for Israeli’s to have universal healthcare, free college and a $400 monthly payment per child until they turn 18 but those things are evil and “communist” here. We the American taxpayers pay hundreds of billions for this stuff while Americans die and go into debt for sickness. Israel is a hostile foreign power do friends blackmail their allies? https://www.trackaipac.com/congress https://wonderisrael.com/monthly-stipend-for-a-jewish-kid/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Israel
