NOT impressed with either side

[the watcher]

There’s nothing wrong with voting against fascism. Thanks for not doing your duty!

That has a nice ring to it, but you have to have a candidate that is not a part of it to be really "in the game". That is not happening.

 

[Mac-7]

No one is sniveling. The fight is against fascism. If you can’t see it, it makes you their useful idiot.

In what way is trump a fascist?

You are just hurling insults with no basis in fact

 

[Independent thinker]

Donald Trump's 45% approval rating is among the
lowest of any President after just 100 days in office.
With the DOW 4000+ points below its high, unemployment and commodity prices on the rise, and most of his wall street backers unhappy with his "Liberation Day" tactics, Trump's luster is wearing thin very fast. If Trump and Co. don't find a way to correct this, he'll be dealing with a Democratic Congress after the 2026 midterms.

Bad as it may be for Trump and the GOP, the situation
for the Democrats is even worse. Their wrong-headed tactics of sniveling about Trump, as well as they're of coddling every racial and sexual minority in the country
has left most wondering exactly what they stand for. Back
in the 90's Bill Clinton left office with a national surplus, a balanced budget and one of the most popular Presidents ever: how? "It's the economy stupid!" A lesson the Democrats of today seem to have forgotten.

I'm NOT impressed with either side!

Since Trump came to be, polls have been totally worthless so I wouldn't trust any of them. Before Trump there were a certain number of democrats who would approve of the job performance of a Republican president. No so with Trump, the "bad" polls only reflect a 100% resistance from anyone on the left, which skews the polls compared to what they used to be in the past.

As far as tariffs go, the left and their media portray tariffs as a long term permanent thing when they are only a very short term way to get better and more fair trade deals with the rest of the world. That will happen and it will happen soon and not long term or permanent. But, the left use the tariffs as a political weapon and portray them as long term and permanent, which they will not be. Better and more fair trade policies will benefit the US instead of doing the status quo.

There's not as big of divide as you think. Everyone realizes we are basically being professionally fucked, the only separation is that some of us still think the remedy resides in the system, while others are not quite as sure.

The only remedy that will ever make a practical difference:

Trump is not a sufficient scape goat for the Democrats anymore and it's showing.

He is the result of democrats slowly losing any platform they believe in and having reasoned arguments for why they believe in their platform.

The term Democrat was once a symbol of various social, economic, and environmental causes. Now the name "Democrat" is just a team name with zero ideology. Currently there is not one policy that the Republicans are promoting that Democrats have not advocated for at one time or another.

They have lost their platform in favor of a scapegoat.....not a winning strategy. If they had an ideology they stood against....that might work. If they had a group of people instead of a single person that might work as it did for Hitler.

Not ONE Democrat has ever listed a platform ideogy that has reasoned logic behind it in decades. And it's not like some of their former ideas haven't been tried. They have ALL failed spectacularly. Everything from universal Healthcare to open border immigration.


I'm waiting for any Democrat to put up an ideology different from what Trump and Republicans are currently doing....other than oppositional politics.

Also....not one Democrat has yet cheered the removal of waste, fraud, and abuse DOGE has found. That's pathetic loser behavior right there.

Ignoring the Constitution. That should be obvious. The unitary executive doctrine might as well be called the fuhrer doctrine.

Naturally like a rabbit you are killed , standing stock still in the headlight's blinding light .

Fortunately people with brains compute the probabilities and degrees of success for the alternatives, and then act as they think best .

You just get scraped up and black bagged .
Others escape , even if they are injured .

Never mind . We need Sheeple to remind ourselves how far in advance we are from them .

If there is going to be any killing going on, I will be alive at the end of the battle.

There’s not been the first if the bastards who hasn’t ignored it as they saw fit since the ink was drying. Those who made the attempt are the most greatly derided by historians.

Huh?!

Huh?!

Since that was over your head, let me try again.
Fealty to the constitution has never been a hallmark of presidents.

Time for the US to get into the 20th century and have Proportional Representation.

Problem is the two main parties don't want it, the rich who control the main two parties also don't want it. They don't tell the masses to want it, so the masses don't even know what it is.

~~~~~~
Well, it seems you're a century behind times. Wake Up! you're in the 21st Century, It's May of 2025.
Unfortunately, like most Democrats you live on the vengeances of the past.
The question still remain as to why Democrats favor enslavement of the people, Eugenics and usury taxation

Trump does not ignore the Constitution

Every executive order he signs is delayed by a cherry-picked lower court judge

But I expect most of their decisions will be overruled

For all their faults, the ends of the spectrum are merely taking advantage of a system that incentivizes and rewards their worst impulses.

If America doesn't care enough to fix that system, it deserves what it gets.

Yep.

As I always say, Congress gets single-digit approval and a 98 percent re-election rate.

We get the politicians we deserve.

I haven't voted for a major party since 2006, with one exception. To honor my recently deceased mother I voted for her candidate, Ted Cruz, in 2016 even though he was not the nominee.

I write in goofy names at the President, House, and Senate level.

My vote has to be EARNED.

This "voting for the lesser of two evils" bullshit has resulted in greater and greater evils being elected.

But look how GREAT it's working out!

 

[g5000]

The problem is no elected official has neither the courage, the integrity, nor the intelligence to do the very simple things which must be done to get our economy back on track and our debt paid off.

All they know how to do is take money from plutocrats to legislatively tilt the playing field in their favor, at the expense of everyone else.

Meanwhile, the masses allow themselves to be distracted by the fauxrage of the day and shiny objects so they don't have to think too hard or notice what is going on right under their noses.

LOOK! A TRANNY! EEK!

Links to what? If you’re out of the loop, I don’t have time to start from the beginning with each new poster. Keep up with the news. Trump talks about it.

He should be over ruled by Congress. They’re delegating too much of their Constitutional authoritaritae!

By all means tell us specifically which of Trump's policies you oppose or shut the hell up. If there's one thing I hate its a goddamn fence sitter who offers no solutions and just pisses and moans. Pick a damn side already.
