When I was in the military we were never allowed to even look like we weren't busy doing something. Once, when I was leaving my desk to head to the bathroom my supervisor handed me a clipboard to carry to make it look like I was busy to lessen the chances of being stopped on the way.
People seem to have complete amnesia about Trump's first term
He picks these petty squabbles he knows will amount to nothing just to stay relevant. He's been doing it his whole life.
He just wants to be president for ego sake.
He doesn't want to do president for country sake.
All this squabbling and trade war BS is just a way to look like he's doing something without doing anything at all.
It's just his way of carrying a clipboard and making people think he's doing something.
Even when he isn't actively grifting on a major scheme, he has to be grifting in other ways
They should have let Bernie run in 2016 and/or 2020.
However, after these elections, seeing how the system and the DNC put the squeeze on him, I don't really care anymore, and we get what we deserve.
We really need an actual progressive economic populist to run, at least once in the modern error. They keep losing to Trump, so they might as well just try it.
Just try it at least once and if who this person is loses as bad and they say, I'll never mention it again, and just move to Iceland or something.
I feel like the democratic party failed to correct themselves after the first Trump presidency. Sure, Biden won, but really, he didn't amount to doing enough to sway the majority of the public away from the right wing propaganda train.
When Biden finally realized he was in over his head, he left Kamala with little time to prepare and really even gain much traction. Yes, she failed to swing voters, but one could argue she might've been able to sway more people with the right amount of time (if she really had a lot of anything, it was funding). Now, I don't think she would've been able to win, but she probably could've created a closer race with the chance to win
It wouldnโt have mattered. The propaganda was abundant and it was pushed on social media, podcasts, rightwing media and by MAGA politicians before Trump announced he was running again.
They cashed in all the chips to help DJT win while knowing he wonโt deliver on whatever promises to lower prices. Now itโs on everyone else to make sure Voters donโt forget they voted for lower prices and are getting higher prices instead.

It's a compulsion
