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

It's entirely corrupt because they know they can get away with nearly anything. Of course it;'s disheartening

Politicians will continue being corrupt criminals until hangings are brought back. They don’t fear the population anymore.

We gave Republicans the House, the Senate, and the presidency, and what exactly have we gotten out of it? A war with Iran, $6 diesel, and a Congress that’s about to take a month-and-a-half recess.
At some point, just being “not the other guys” isn’t enough. If people keep voting a party in and that party never really delivers anything, eventually that catches up with them. That’s a recipe for disaster and nothing ever being accomplished.
I've honestly felt this way since 2020.
Anything that Trump accomplished at any point during his terms, was done by policy and executive order without any help from Congress. Most of the bad things he's done, happened either the same way or because some activist judge no one has ever heard of issued an injunction.
The entire Senate is a clusterfrick, and outside of APL, Gill and Burchett, the House isn't any better.
....but the system is designed to only give us candidates that play ball with the Establishment. That's the dirty little secret. We truly are powerless. It's a tough pill to swallow.

Well when my options are blue tie war in Ukraine or red tie war for Israel it’s hard for anyone to give a shite.
If you understood what I said, you would understand that those aren't "everyone's" only options.
Now, you come across like someone who is too stupid to understand what I said, but I'll try one more time in a bit different way.
If "everyone" doesn't want the wars, all they have to do is go to the polls and pull the level for someone else in the primary. And if that person starts or supports a war, then you go to the polls the next time and pull the level for someone besides them.
It wouldn't take but 1-2 election cycles before the politicians listened to what "everyone" wanted and acted accordingly. Yes, that's 4-8 years worth of voting in the primaries, but some things take longer than a Big Mac & fries.

You’re a fricking sucker for participating in the Kayfabe.
And you are a moronic populist who is addicted to victimhood. You don't want to fix it because this is like professional wrestling to you. It's your entertainment and your self esteem bost.
You know how I know that?
Because if you really believed what you just typed, what would be the point of visiting a political discussion board? I can only think of two reasons: it's your entertainment and it makes you feel smart to tell yourself (and everyone here) that you know something that most other people don't know.
Of course, that thing is pure bullshite, but that doesn't matter to you.
A conspiracy theory likely being true isn't a requirement for you people.

I mean if you wanna get real about politicians and who they are, most of them are completely narcissistic, soulless grifters who believe most of the population are stupid and exist to give them power and money. Exhibit A:
Republican Nominee in Texas Using Trump’s $5,000 Promise to Deceive Voters
heads up in case it wasn't clear: THEY THINK YOU ARE STUPID

Well I can certainly understand the appeal of the Dem party to you since you'll fit right in with them. Where do you keep your white hood?
Wtf are you talking about? I said something negative about Biden and voted trump. Were you responding to someone else?

You're just now disheartened? Where have you been for the last at least 20 years?
Posted on 9/17/26 at 1:13 pm to LARancher1991
I would say the last 6 years has broken a lot of folks.
Posted on 9/17/26 at 1:29 pm to RoosterCogburn585
I am not happy with where we are in my ways through the second term of Trump; however, I am still happy that a Dem is not in there.
Things to consider -
- Without 60 senators voting in lock step, only so many laws can be passed.
- Where would we be if the Biden Admin (not saying Biden, because he had no clue) had remained in power?
- We are no longer being invaded through our Southern Boarder?
- Where would we be if Kamala had gotten in?
- Tax cuts were extended.
- A crazed Islamic regime is further away from a nuclear weapon.
- Illegals in the country are being removed...slowly but surely.
- Crime is down throughout the country.
- While I am tired to Trump's trolling, it has done much to expose the true left...communism, red/green coalition, embrace of criminals. increased marriage to victimhood, etc.

They will always betray the American voter for their personal gain. Always. There are rare exceptions
