re: Honestly, I’m just really disheartened with the political system right now

I dont either but if I have to settle for Republicans doing nothing except slowing the Dem agenda I'll vote for that before I'll give up, stay home and grab my ankles.

I totally understand, but this didn't happen overnight, and it can't be fixed overnight. We've let all these rats infest the ship over the last 30 years and bringing in a bunch of snakes is not the answer. The radical left loves the position you're in. They can say "See, those guys aren't fixing your problems, you must change now!". Their answer is a violent change. France tried this in the 1790s, Russia in the 1910's. Both ended up with a dictator in short order, and I don't mean a fake one like we have that just shoots his mouth off, I mean a real one who doesn't need to say anything because everyone with a different opinion has already been eliminated. These radical and violent shifts to the left have always ended the same way and have never turned out good for the people.
The train may not be moving as fast as you would like, but we're on the right track. Our economy is growing faster than anywhere in the world and anybody who wants a job can find one.
I know that trip to the beach costs more now than it did, but don't light the truck on fire because of it. If you do, there will be no more trips to the beach. We got rid of some of the rats in the primaries, and we'll keep getting rid of them until they're gone.
Hang in there.

but what is the plan when the totalitarian state starts burning down entire towns in response to guerrilla skirmishes and executing the family members of known fighters.

I’m thinking this would prove we’ve been taken over and more Americans would join the fight.

ETA: I guess my position is if we’re close to electing people who would burn down American towns even our retarded friends like Power, Shel, and DawgsonTop would snap out of it and help us vote in the men it would take to clean it all up.

Surely they don’t actually want a farther push to the left like they pretend.

Media's efforts are working. Congrats.

Nothing changes until we see the perp walks and public executions of those that have scammed and stolen from us the People.

The fuel prices today are nothing but a psy-op to make out of touch Americans believe this current administration is not the one for the job. Anyone thinking voting for a Democrat based solely on reducing fuel prices Is batshit crazy. Take a look at a blue state's fuel prices and compare them to their neighboring red state and the result is staggering. Fuel prices today are the same as the covid scam they pulled in 2020 to destroy an economy at our expense.

Neither party will allow the other one to remedy the issues at hand due to proving their own party as being the culprit for the issues we are enduring. Military is the only way out of this shitshow.

I’m not sure how old you are, but I would get like this too when I was in my 20’s and 30’s over the wasted opportunities when they presented themselves. I would get discouraged also when the other side inevitably took back power. I’ve learned to put more distance between myself and politics, and face the reality that very little ever gets done. I now assume all politicians are worthless, and I’m rarely proven wrong. Focus on what you can control in life, and back away from so much politics. You’ll be much happier.

I'm disheartened...not insane.... :lol:

I would never vote for the a candidate from the current democratic party..

Don’t think about it too much. It doesn’t really affect you and it’s just something to get you all stirred up about.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this.
