    Seems pretty safe to say MAGA lost the House and the Senate and still, ain’t ‘nothing gon’ happen.

      @[email protected] something for you?

      Or are you naive enough to think all the sudden there’s a plan to undo all the bad shit that’s been happening the last couple of decades that didn’t get fixed during the time democrats previously held the house and Senate?

      Or, perhaps you have something you’d like to share about how they’re going to counter presidential Veto power?

        …what? Do I know you? 😅 I don’t think we’ve ever actually interacted. Unless you thought you were on another one of your accounts or something…

        But just to humor you, yes obviously a lot of established Democrats are shitty, and have done shitty things, and rarely undo shitty things they could have. But you cannot seriously compare them with an out-in-the-open cabal of fascists and child-rapists. That is orders of magnitudes worse, and the US has been in free fall since they took over (again).

        I don’t pretend to know all the answers, I don’t claim that certain things will happen, all I ever advocate for is to make changes where we can, usually by voting, and continuing to have hope that we can move toward a better future. Massive change cannot happen overnight, and before we get to a fully progressive government, we have to go back to an actual functioning democracy first. These midterms are the first step toward that, and with the amount of progressives getting elected, and the shear number of seats turning from red to blue, it was more of a success than most people even dared to hope for.

        If you or anyone else has problems with that, or casts doubt or aspersions on it or on people celebrating this win, then I have to question what your end-goal really is

          I’m not comparing them to MAGA. But you sure did read into what I did say and put your own spin on it.

            all the bad shit that’s been happening the last couple of decades

            Buddy, if you weren’t at least mainly talking about MAGA here, then I guess that means you prefer the way they do it

            Oh wow, so you called me out by name because I downvoted you?? 😂 The absolute fragility…

            Did you see this one too?

              Darlin, I called you out because you had nothing at all to contribute to the conversation and yet you apparently had an opinion.

                So just because I disagreed with you (or thought you were a fucking moron not worth the time it would take to refute your shit) you typed up a response calling me out?

                Do you do that to everyone who downvotes you without comment? Because if so I gotta tell you, I have a feeling you are a busy bastard

                  Lol. Nope. I picked you out of the clear blue sky on a random Wednesday just for shits and giggles.
