The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. -HHGTTG

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. - Douglas Adams

The last time the Democrats had a coherent plan for when they got into office was 1930

It was preceeded by a market crash.

The market is crashing right now.

Hopefully we’ll get another Progressive Era.

Eh. We’ve just bought ourselves a decade or two of industrialized warfare and martial law by the looks of things. That will have to be survived first.

They have a coherent plan every year, it is to do whatever their masters tell them to do. Both parties have the same masters

To me, it looks like the PayPal Mafia is trying to become the new masters, taking power away from the old families who held it since… Well since they made their fortunes on slavery.

I am not saying one side is in any way morally better, they’ve been draining society det for decades, but at least they weren’t actively trying to dismantle democracy or whatever.

… because they didn’t.

… because they HAD the majority. And they stacked the Judicial.

How is this hard to understand?

… because they didn’t.

…and when they do, it becomes because they don’t have a large enough majority. If they had a filibuster -peoof majority, it would be because they don’t have a veto-proof majority even if they also held the executive.

To put it another way, Biden had the power to fully legalize marijuana at any time because drug scheduled can be changed by process from either the legislative or executive branches. Instead he had it rescheduled. Because Dems only operate in half measures federally, because they are controlled opposition.

He didn’t even do that. He asked the DEA to do it, but they never moved the needle on it. It’s still as illegal as it was in 2020, federally speaking.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
