    “There’ll be people that they’ll DM me like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this,’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars—he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget—he’s increasing it.”

    If only there was a way they could have seen this coming…

    Some kind of warning sign that trump was a fucking liar…

      It’s almost like we had 4 years with him already

      “Trump doesn’t keep his promises” rings hollow of an excuse for regret when we have 4 demonstrable years of his garbage.

        The first 4 were very different from how the second 4 are shaping up. This one is so much worse

        All the Biden Break did was normalize shit and hand a megaphone to anyone who thoughts Dems wouldn’t help us.

        “Blue no matter who” just depresses future turnout, Dem voters need to be excited about who theyre voting for, not scared of who they’re voting against.

        It’s basic bitch psychology. Neoliberals think like conservatives, and lack the empathy to understand the Dem voting base (or anyone for that matter) thinks differently.

          That’s because the Democrats are a conservative party. The US doesn’t have a true Left party because the Dems and the GOP rigged the system so only they can compete. Serious electoral reforms are needed. At a minimum, first past the post has got to be replaced by ranked choice, and the electoral college needs to be tossed.

        And that’s only if you ignore the 40 years before that of Trump being widely known as a scammer, swindler and liar.

      Some kind of document that literally laid out how this project would work in 2025, perhaps. Oh if only.
