Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

You shouldn't expect someone to care about you just because you give them power. You should give power to people who care about you!
So I shouldn't vote for anyone. Got it.
Honestly if that's what your takeaway is, the world would be a better place if you didn't vote. Moron.
Every thread where there's a shred of hope these people come in to desperately scream "Dems bad too! Dems bad too!"
Almost like they have a goal in mind.
If at this point you're looking at everything and still go, yep, that's competent leadership doing exactly what I wanted, then I don't see how there is any way back to reality for them.
Yeah, I don't think anyone in this administration is competent.
You really think that person votes, pip?
I'm sad to say, but I'm afraid they do. We know the stats.
There's no hiding from the fact that the two party system isn't doing democracy and fair leadership any services though.
Eh, fair enough
So he's not important to listen to for the DNC? Cool, surely you don't blame him for when the DNC supports Diet Trump in 2028.
Validation feels good.
That only leaves the Green Party, though.
And yeah, we learned that lesson with Obama's presidency. The man had a supermajority for a while and all he did was make fascism worse and health care more expensive.

Mind-blowing how people have forgotten the time before the ACA, which limited insurer excess profit and forbid denial due to pre-existing conditions
Yeah, now it's just so expensive I avoid treatment altogether and therefore can't get denied.
It for sure sucks now! Lieberman killed the public option and things have only gotten worse since then as we haven't taken on the usury of insurance, PE hospitals, and pharma, but the ACA was a step in the right direction that's been continuously sabotaged ever since it was implemented
The ACA was a turd with some rhetorical polish. That's it, and anyone seeking health care in this country knows it.
Still waiting on your dear leader's 'concept of plan'.
Pretty lazy response.
I'm not a Donald supporter. I'm just also unwilling to pretend that a regressive health care system is a good thing because it came from the Blue MAGA instead of the Red MAGA, especially considering Obama could have (and should have) done better. .
Lol, you sure have a lot of funny opinions. What part about it is 'lazy'?
Edit: What is your plan? Enlighten us wise one.
To be fair, they weren’t looking.
All of those things still exist now, provided you can't afford to be price gouged, which is the vast majority of Americans.
And Obama could have given us a truly universal system
Putin party 😂
Don’t say that on the late stage capitalism sub, the douchebag mod will ban you
