The Republican Thunderdome

Hi,

WTF do you expect of a system by the rich, for the rich to benefit the rich?

And the only thing that borders me is that folks are voting for him, regardless. Meaning that some folks don't even see him (and some other governors across the country) as the sick folks they are. Many of them are passing laws that they know they could not get traction on within a public vote ... and nowhere is the public turning those governors (and senators) out.

Makes no sense in a system that supposedly benefits the public ... who's voting anyway?

This Country NEEDS Tulsi Gabbard.  Her presidential campaign was the most honest, Kindhearted, and logical campaign I have ever witnessed in my 67 years on this planet. The Democrat party assed her out for Hillary. (Who foolishly called her a Russian asset... Big mistake.) Just like they assed out Bernie for Hillary.

Kennedy is gaining traction but I dont like him either.  Trump has numbers and lots of $ donations, he's a blowhard and age seems to be getting the best of him as well. A very effective voice for States Rights and anti-globalism... but a loose cannon.

Biden won't make it to November. He should be at home with his pudding, watching Ukraine go up in flames on his TV.

What a mess.

The Democratic Party had four goddamn years to try and push a viable replacement for Biden into the limelight and yet literally everyone seemingly stayed in the shadows this whole time, with the possible exception of Harris who was originally presented as one half of an inseparable duo with Biden only to then be thrown under the bus by being saddled with a portfolio that would ensure she'd be hated by everyone. For a party with this many people and this much experience to have such disregard for its own longevity is just inexcusable. Now the best hope for freedom and international stability going forward is if Biden keels over before the DNC.

It's very inefficient, on the verge of sunk costs, and the quality of life of ordinary Europeans, the poorer ones like me especially, is impacted too.

I don't know how you could call it inefficient looking at how quickly the Russian offensive on Kharkiv petered out as soon as US aid to Ukraine was resumed. Concerns about rising costs of living and inflation as a spillover effect from the war are valid, but those will not be relieved if Putin and other autocrats the world over are sent the message that the international community will stand by and let you fulfil your dream of stealing another country's territory and genociding its population. If Putin succeeds in Ukraine, do you think Donald Trump will bother to send troops to Europe once ol' Vlad starts feeling insecure again and invades Estonia?
