 The democratic establishment is bending over backwards not to admit that they fucked up by, for the third time in a row, shoved a weak candidate nobody actually wanted down their voters’ throats

“Make it a woman” - nope
“Make it Joe. Everyone loves Joe” - 🥴
“Make it a brown woman” - nope

This is probably an unpopular opinion based on how many mouths i see around trump’s balls right now, but i don’t want myself or #Bitcoin to be associated with the republican party… or the democratic party. I’d much prefer the separation of money and state tyvm

I’m registered as an independent and want to vote like one. But these mfers never give me the choice!!!

Maybe next time there will be an honest contest. Not gonna hold my breath. I’m just gonna keep stacking paycheck to paycheck as always

Let’s see if orange man holds to any of the pandering he did at Shitcoin 2024 and go from there. Who knows, it’s possible i guess. But he’s a shitcoiner/scammer until proven otherwise in my book

Congrats on getting way fewer sats per cuckbuck though 🙃 
 You're so right about this. I have said a few times for those want to hear, that I remember Reagan and Bush Sr., and Clinton, and Dubya, and Obama. I remember when the Neocons took over the GOP, then the Evangelical nutcases. It was impossible to support them and perfectly reasonable to vote for Obama. Now it's the other way around.

Now Trump has destroyed the Neocon infiltrators, but he really needs to keep the Jesus freaks in line if he wants to get anything done before and after the mid terms, and more importantly, to put something durable in place and secure the continuity of this "Unity Party" he has put together.

My point being, it's perfectly reasonable to think that the GOP goes back to where it was with Bush Dubya, and become toxic and tyrannical again. People need to detach themselves from party labels. 
 Two-party politics and fiat are like peas and carrots in a very toxic dish 
 Totally agreed. Trump has brought in the closest to a third party imaginable today though. That's his merit. 
 I'm certainly looking forward to when all of the evil people aren't on a single side. It will mean we're debating paths to the same goal, instead of good and evil, and a much healthier society.
