Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:

To be fair, the Nazis are being treated extremely well these days.
Finally, somebody in authority calling them Nazis. We should be hearing that from elected Democrats and the media.
Also, HitlerPig is the most prolific traitor in American history. He is literally worse than all other American traitors COMBINED. So why have I NEVER heard a Democrat or anyone in the media call him that? They constantly accuse Dems of all sorts of crimes, treason, pedophilia, and all manner of nefarious propaganda, but the Dems never say ANYTHING, even if their potential allegations are 100% true.
HitlerPig approved, announced, promoted, rallied, and then sent his violent RedHats to the Capitol to kill those who were keeping him from stealing the election. That's TREASON.
He greenlighted the audacious False Elector's Plot, his Plan B. When he made his infamous Tweet where he called off the Insurrection, we thought it was over, but in his mind, he was hoping the False Elector's Plot would work instead. As we were relaxing, he was still working his Insurrection. That's TREASON.
Then he stole a breath-taking number of OUR classified documents, denied it, refused to return them, and finally had to be raided by the FBI to recover them. Thats TREASON.
And we know there's are many more instances, but those are simple open & shut cases that prove the accusation, so he can't sue for defamation. If he does sue, take the case to court, and the defense can simply be the truth, and his treason can be litigated in open civil court.
Its time for Democrats and The Media to start referring to him as a Traitor, as often as possible.
It's because the USA is beholden to wealth. The Democrats and the Media are in the pockets of the same billionaires as the Republicans. Furthermore, your electoral system is archaic and not true democracy. First-past-the-post creates a two party system by design and when both of those parties have become corrupted then voting isn't going to solve anything.
Campaign Finance Reform is the issue from which ALL other issues flow.
The biggest problem in American politics is money. They have worked very hard for many years to strip back the laws that regulate campaign contributions, ultimately allowing the wealthy to be able to donate as much as they want, which gives them the power to cut quid pro quo deals that benefit them, at the expense of the American people, in exchange for huge campaign contributions.
At the same time that those regulations were being shredded, the number of billionaires boomed, so we have more people than ever to take advantage of this corrupt, money-driven system, exacerbating it.
We've even reached the point where candidates are owned by specific Sociopathic Oligarchs. MuskRat owns HitlerPig, Theil owns Vance. Now that we've established that the wealthy can LITERALLLY purchase candidates, and steer them any way they desire, we can expect every wealthy family and corporation to start buying elected officials and alternately threatening and rewarding them to force them to comply with their selfish wishes.
I used to support Ross Perot, but I have come to disagree with his notion of Kitchen Table Economics, but I still like his proposal for political campaigns. He suggested a 90 day political campaign season, paid for by the Federal Government. The short political season would mean far less money in campaigns, and absolutely no private campaign contributions of any kind would be allowed.
That would mean that to win, the only currency for a candidate to go after would be every citizen's single vote. They no longer have to convince Sociopathic Oligarchs to contribute to them, forcing them to cut ugly deals at the expense of American citizens, they only have to convince citizens to spend their single vote on them.
Then you would have elected officials who are beholden to their constituents and their votes, and not be beholden to wealthy people who keep them on their leash, threatening to spend their political contributions on their primary opponents if they dont comply with their Sociopathic Oligarch Leash-holder.
Again, Campaign Finance Reform is the issue from which ALL other issues flow.
Let’s stop blasting him. Send some federal marshalls to jail him.
I hope he resists.
In this administration, Nazis get jobs.
I mean, yeah, the Nazis got jobs at NASA, who wouldn't want that
So we're arguing in court that these guys are worse than the Nazis!?
