      Lol. Ever the American answer. Pass the blame. As if 40 plus years of neoliberal policy doesn’t have a major place in the equation.

        Shrug. I didn’t vote for this asshole to make money from his failson daddy being in office. Lots of people did vote for it, or stayed home.

            Are you American?

            No, of course it wasn’t. We had W before that and Ronnie Raygun/Poppy Bush before that and Nixon before that. We are neck deep in stupid people and Republicans work very hard to keep them that way.

            What is it that you are suggesting, anyway?

              They’re a lazy both-sideser.

              They get a lot louder near any election when you have a chance to kick the republicans out of power.

              It’s almost like they want them to stay in power…

                I have to say that when I see bothsiderism and Murc’s Law nonsense, my first thought is often…

                At least for online things and for posters I have little idea about. Certainly, I know some more-leftist-than-thou types IRL and they are proud of not voting. Like parking your thumb in your ass is really “sending a message”, LOL. And then there are the contrarian Ken Bone types that love to play coy and declare that they “don’t really know” candidates like Kamala or whatever. Like the candidate should personally come to their house to justify themselves in some bespoke and artisanal speech crafted just for the Ken Bone wannabes. Groan…
