Better that than tyranny?
A stifled and hogtied government of coalition is 'less' government, less likely to take extremely damaging measures. Give me 'less government' any day.

If you want to actually get it done, in US politics there actually only are two ways. Voting libertarian or third party isn't the flex you think it is. It is being silent, and silence is the voice of complicity.


Well said

‘ This is nothing more than a politically motivated stunt designed to manipulate the ethics process, create headlines, smear her, and generate clickbait. They come from an activist who has long recycled sensational claims, including numerous baseless accusations previously fact-checked as false.”

The complaint, which has been reviewed by Newsweek, was filed by David Wheeler with the House Committee on Ethics on September 17 and signed under penalty of perjury. Wheeler is an American journalist and political activist who is the president and co-founder of American Muckrackers, a Democrat Super Political Action Committee (Super PAC).

The complaint alleges that Boebert engaged in sexual relations with three current and former staff members. It also alleges that Boebert paid out $200,000 in hush money to one staffer.

Hmmm, I wonder what the source of the $200K hush money was?

Survey says...

It's a good thing, despite Donny and MAGA's best efforts so far, we aren't living under tyranny.

Open your eyes and SEE the tyranny which is unfolding.

The fat oaf denying major news outlets access to the WH seems tyrannical, as does the Kennedy Center SNAFU.

So, when given the chance, why did you not vote for his opponent?

I did not and do not respect or admire Kamala either.

Both are unfit to lead in my opinion.

I think the odds that Kamala would be worse than Trump are about a zillion to 1. The top 1% would still have plenty of money but probably less.

I vote for the lesser evil if that's the only reasonable choice. I hate to imagine who would be running, that I'd have to ever vote for someone like Trump.

For one, she wouldn't be instigating a riot to keep her in power. And that's just a start.

They didn't run in 2024.
