    The Democratic Party has long claimed to be the kind party, the party that favors people while the Republican Party legislates to increase profits.

    So much for the advertising.

    Now we have the reality.

    The President from the Democratic Party, both houses are Democratic and the Supreme Court is also Democratic.

    And the 16 months of the Democratic Party rule have been a complete disaster for the people and for the economy.

    It started with a rush to cross the Southern border, during COVID.

    Then as the COVID crisis ended the high spending advocated during the crisis, continued, so now we have massive inflation.

    Then in November 2021, Biden promised US support to Zelensky if he opposed Russia, and now we have a proxy war going on in Ukraine. The war is in nobody's interests and is causing destruction in Ukraine as well. But it is making money for the US weapons industry, so the Democratic Party rule is making some money to compensate for some of the amount it has wasted.

    Trump was on the verge of a recession in 2019... BEFORE COVID

    the fed doesn't do this during a great economy... that the economy was great pre-covid is one of the biggest lies the Republicans ever told.


    "Fed Ups Its Wall Street Bailout to $690 Billion a Week as Media Snoozes" Oct 2019

    https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019...ilout-to-690-billion-a-week-as-media-snoozes/

    and

    "The Federal Reserve Has Already Pumped $9-Trillion into Wall Street in the Past Six Months, and Now Is Offering Banks Another $1.5-Trillion" March 2020

    https://needtoknow.news/2020/03/the...d-now-is-offering-banks-another-1-5-trillion/

    dump that much money into the economy.... what happens... inflation

    - Trump was on the verge of a recession in 2019... BEFORE COVID -
    Keynesian economics advocates government spending to alleviate periods of recession or depression, so that was the right thing to do.

    When there was a recovery the relief should have been reduced as much as possible, and ideally, the National Debt paid down.

    Democrats and their fake Covid claims handed Biden the economy they created for an election
    And you fell for it hook line and sinker
    You voted for this, now you want to blame Trump?
    How long will it be before Biden is president now?

    I don't vote for either major party so don't try to make me responsible for what they do. Like I said before, Trump handed Biden a perfectly good economy, right?

    There is plenty of stupidity going on over on the Republican Party side too.

    What might happen next?

    In November 2022 to stop mad Joe there may be a lot of votes coming in for Republicans in both houses.

    After that the government will become a log jam.

    Maybe mad Joe will get to send military forces down to fight China and become the first President to fight in two wars at the same time.

    If I were you, I wouldn't admit I voted for Biden either.
    Trump had the best economy in this countries history until Democrat states started their fake Covid scare tactics.
    A virus with a 99% recovery rate and they shut the country down over it?
    Now we have the
    The highest gas prices in a decade
    Worst jobs report in two decades
    Highest inflation in 3 decades
    Highest increase in illegal immigration in 4 decades
    And you think Trump did it huh.
    Thats funny
    The left just killed it with their emotional voting skills

    Biden is a hardliner moderate and draconian lawmaker during the Drug War, why would I ever vote for Biden? Several situations created the problems of today and it started before Biden was president Biden is slow to remedy anything so the situation exacerbates. Trump handed Biden a ruined economy after he shut down the US with his National Health Emergency and his trillions in freebies, Biden did the exact same thing as Trump and you claim that it's all Biden's fault. I would not expect someone like you to be honest about the reality of cause and effect.

    Oops, second President this century to fight two wars at the same time.

    Contrary to public opinion - weak Presidents get into more wars.

    Baby Bush got one going in Iraq before ending/winning the one in Afghanistan. He was just getting pushed around in his first year.

    Left alone the military-industrial complex drives the US into wars, usually proxy ones. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, a President who can make a good case for not going to war can resist the MIC, especially if he gets support from the public.

    Both parties are run by the big corporations.

    Just list the black marks

    Vietnam War - started by Dems
    Star Wars - started by Reps
    Afghan and Iraq wars - started by Reps
    Ukraine war - started by Dems

    Neoliberalism - brought in by Reagan
    NAFTA - signed by Clinton

    Guess what? Although officially a Dem I didn't vote for either one in 2020 either.

    You can ignore the reality of the left shutting down the country all you want.
    Voters won't forget this November.

    If you are a fan of either party, you're part of the problem. Neither party is interested in anything other than keeping the other party out of power. They don't really want to do anything because doing something means they have to take responsibility for the outcome. They would rather do nothing then blame the other side when they inevitably lose power.

    PS: The Supreme Court is not democratic.

    If Dems are sunk, what do you make of the party being led by a man under investigation for trying to overturn, corruptly at best, illegally at worst, the will of the people?

    ATLANTA — As the criminal investigation of Donald J. Trump by Manhattan prosecutors appears to be stalling out, the separate investigation into whether the former president and his allies illegally interfered with Georgia’s 2020 election results took a significant step forward on Monday, as 23 people were chosen to serve on a special investigative grand jury.

    The panel will focus exclusively on “whether there were unlawful attempts to disrupt the administration of the 2020 elections here in Georgia,” Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of the Fulton County Superior Court told 200 potential jurors who had been called to a downtown Atlanta courthouse swarming with law enforcement agents.

    Let's look at just one example of why you're wrong. Dems are for ending gerrymandering, Repubs are blocking their efforts. How are they the same?

    Yea, you can cherry pick this or that issue and show that one party is better than the other.

    That is how they keep the game going.

    Our bipolar political system is the main problem with our government today.

    Public can't help noticing the big stuff:

    High inflation,
    High fuel prices,
    High house prices,
    Big adjustments in the economy,
    War in Ukraine,
    Possible conflict with china

    Guess where dumb Joe was yesterday? stirring the pot in Taiwan.

    It paralyses the public from stopping the lobbyists who are at least as big a problem.
