Also the law that froze the number of house seats (and this number of electrical college votes), screwing everything up and allowing both Bush and the pedo to "win" was passed in 1929.
It should be triple by now.

MODERATORS
They have all this control but the only box these guys have ticked is removing some brown people from the country (who they are very likely never crossed paths with). Everything else is getting shitter for them, so what's to celebrate?
Tankies will continue to say both sides same
Tankies really follow the will of the despots.
I'm not a tankie, and I agree with "bOtH sIdEs SaMe" in regards to being pro-military, and pro-corporate, and anti-labor, for example.
Sure, they have some differences, too. But really not that many.
The major parties have another "sAmE"... they are both less than 30% of the voters now. Independents are now 40% of the voters (pick your poll, there are many). So... of course your party machine surrounds you with "both sides" disparagement and talking points.
Good, it's to be expected.
Which side is against genocide? Which side is against war?
Remember when the Dems controlled all three bodies and for all that non stop hysterial talk about gun control what happened?.....crickets ..... no change. Why would anyone expect change from either side is always my question.
Sorry when was this that dems had filibuster proof control of house, senate and presidency for a while?

I’d rather take no change than chaos. What do you expect will happen?
Allowing presidents to pick your justices and then giving them jobs for life is the stupidest system ever created. Ripe for abuse.
What so bizarre is SCOTUS has always been conservative. We get a couple of judges who are not hardcore conservatives and they help make a couple of rulings that aren't just one sided conservative nonsense and suddenly "they are taking over the judiciary with activist judges".
So the conservatives do exactly this, they start stacking their already suck ass conservative courts that always rule for big business with even more extreme ideological fucktards. Every accusation is a confession I suppose.
They have to get approved by our Congress too it's just that they're also not doing their jobs well.
A country built on the back of genocide and slavery is the stupidest system ever created. Ripe for abuse.
a failure so spectacular, it lead to fdr, the new deal..... republicans wouldn't win the white house back until 1952.
And only 6 years after they finally got the Whitehouse again, they started plotting for the next massive fuck up era by founding the John Birch Society (which is a major cause for the GOP's current psychosis.
Don't forget about the McCarthyism of the late 40s and the 50s. Ronald Reagan was involved with that particular movement since the beginning when he testified in front of Congress (specifically the House Un-American Activities Committee) saying that communists were taking over Hollywood.
Ranked choice voting can help mitigate this issue
fingers crossed history repeats itself lol

Yeah but the Democrats were competent back then. I don't have confidence in most of the modern Democrats. There are only like 3 of them who seem to get what's going on

Roaring 30s
In their view the Great Depression was probably started by a bunch of lazy woke activists who didn't want to work, thus spurring the dust bowl with their uh, inaction. Dust everywhere. No one dusting.
They should sweep the forests, like they do in sweden
It's what Republican's do best; fuck up the economy.
Conservatives are – and have always been – the enemy of the people.

There is higher than 0% chance that DJT won't reach a deal with Iran "Soon", the possibility of oil crisis and economic recession are still very real.
I want the price of gas to be $25 dollars per gallon
$25 a gallon will cause a severe economic recession. I'm not sure I want a third "one in a lifetime recession"
I want the collapse and dissolution of the United States.
I want the balkanization of the United States and $65 dollars a gallon!
I volunteer as tribute in the Hunger Games? Ugh.
Tomato / tomatah!
The chance is 100% lol, have you been paying attention?
Right now, prices and availability are being kept semi stable by draw downs on strategic reserves, but that won’t last forever.
Hell, it probably won’t last another month.
Definitely not the flex they think it is.
- Massive amounts of what effectively amounts to gambling on the stock market.
They don't know a lot of things
