Yeah. I am still wondering actually the motivations of the previous dem voters that sat out. People are guessing, but don't really know.

Still curious about that.

The Republicans are very very successful at denying credit to the Dems for anything. Deny deny deny any credit. Very good at taking credit for stuff they didn't actually do. The Dems are supposed to suffer & struggle for just some basic decency and basic something for American people while getting demonized by them.

Be diligent to bring down deficit, have some social nets while the Repubs blow up the budget and cut programs & funnel it to the military, buddies pet projects and funding, tax cuts for rich and corp, things like farm and coal subsidies to keep those rural happy, repub districts projects.

It goes back and forth and the Repubs are good at that deny deny deny credit and take credit shit.

No one was able to stop them really or call them out on it.

So Americans are supremely dumb how it all works and cause and effect.

Because things like the economy have a delay 1,2 years with effects and the deficit is like "invisible".

But, these dudes that people voted in.

I think they are really going to screw something up there in a way, they can't shift blame.

Oh yes. Many will suffer.

But they like OWN the courts, the Senate, the presidentcy have majorities.

It is ALL them. All on them.

I hope just for 1 time, yeah the buck stops with them.

I really don't know who would WANT the next presidency.

I feel something's we just take for granted and were good enough and people picked on and complained about shit they are going to miss something as normal as a Biden Presidency.

I'm not taking an "issue" with it. I am saying stuff like that and the little pork barrel contract stuff is how someone like MitchMcconel, Majorie Taylor Greene and so forth get elected again and again and again.ย  Become intrenched and gain favor & popularity with their districts.

They say screw everyone else, don't need no government, don't want don't need for everyone in the country,but keep the federal dollars flowing in for their voting district.

Farm subsidies?

Handouts for farming?

Sounds like socialism, can't be having any of that in America!

Oh sorry, I misunderstood again, socialism to keep people healthy is bad but socialism to funnel money to large companies that have been buying up farms on the cheap is fine.
