    “Don’t worry nothing bad will happen if the other guy wins” seems like a strange campaign strategy

    Just imagine if he did nothing the last two years, but just coasted along, letting Biden’s work continue.

    Things would have been fine.

      There is no end goal for this people but more money and more power. They are the embodiment of capitalism, there is no victory condition, there is no “enough”. It’s more more more more more forever, at any and all cost.

      Like, a serial killer won’t ever be like “ok I’m gonna kill ten people and I’m currently at eight, so just two more murders and I’m done! Gonna be so nice when it’s over, I can just relax, pick up gardening…”

      Right, but that wasn’t the 2025 plan, they told everyone what they were going to do and too much of the damage has been done. It takes longer and harder to rebuild it if Dems win president and enough majority in 28, but not counting on it unfortunately. I’d love to be wrong and they do make real progress if they win, but I’m way ahead and coming back to present moment, peace.

    Veto away, Krasnov. By all means, please make Republicans look like incompetent fools for the next 2 years so we can sweep in 2028 too. After that, maybe finally we can get some shit done and prosecute the fascists (if the corporate masters are willing to indulge us, of course).

      Let’s just check in on if the 2020 sweep into power let the democrats get some shit done and prosecute the fascists… aw shucks.

      I’ll still vote for the Dems since fptp makes it the best option, but until we get a leftist yea party insurgency I expect them to dance for the corporate masters.

        They did pass some bills, but not enough but didn’t have enough majority and had to use a way to not need 2/3 to pass in senate, so we need enough majority to pass w/o tricks and not blame them for not enough majority and not able to pass what the majority of people want on several issues.

    [Biden’s term] mcconnell: “We’re going to block any meaningful legislation just to make him look bad”

    [orange pedo’s 2nd term]the orange pedo: “if I don’t get my way I’ll veto everything the Dems try to pass”

    And which one claims to be the party for Americans again?

      Best Republicans can do, veto good laws, letting only bad ones be enacted.

      He’s already been impeached. Twice. It takes too many members of congress to actually remove him though.

      Also, frankly, what a lot of presidents pretty much do.

      I guess the biggest problem is that usually stops short of the budget/debt ceiling bills, so if he sticks to his guns of ‘veto no matter what’, hard to see how budget bills can work anymore.

          If you have 2/3rds of Senate, sure.

          But short of getting a bunch of people willing to visibly undermine Trump from his own party, that’s not going to happen. Keep in mind these were the same people who didn’t like the optics of removing Trump even after he lost and was on his way out and actively incited a violent insurrection. If they won’t even vote to remove what was presumed to be a dead-end politician on his way out of politics anyway, then they sure as hell won’t go against him on a veto.

            If Trump goes full tantrum and decides to try to shutdown the government for two years, I’d bet they get just enough to pull off an override.

    And if they do go his way he’ll rubber stamp legislation that people who dislike him won’t support. Pretty weak threat!
