Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Just think of what we could accomplish if things really worked this way. Two parties push-pull relationship that worked in good faith for the people of this country. There's so much potential that is wasted by tribalism, greed and the desire to teach lessons to those who can't care for themselves.

He lost half the people in that room the moment he started talking. Only because that half has no voice unless it has been approved by their master. The GOP is no longer a democratic Party representing the people of a democratic country. Sad. 😔

Admittedly Didn’t know his name Or who he was a year ago He has certainly proven To be a big part of our Dem talent Rising stars And a walk the walk Moral Authentic Leader To be proud of

Close to half of the chamber appear to think it IS supposed to involve an old addled man tweeting the stock and bond markets into panic, and that 20-somethings ought to be wandering the halls firing tens of thousands of gov't workers.

Notice the conservative half of that room didn't even acknowledge that he said something completely rational. They all agree with him but they just can't get past their party-over-people mentality. What he said should make sense to everyone and if it doesn't to you... you're the problem.

Pretend government. In reality it’s a coup. Fascist, corporate coup. Think corporate takeover. Add white supremacy, a dash of faux religion, a bit of backroom diddling with 1% from wherever, a portion of Putin - mix it with buckshot chaos and the pillars wobble, many fall… takeover almost ✅.

Call your Rep. and Senator every day. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Email them through their websites. Tell them this: 1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily. 2. Visit the concentration camps in El Salvador and demand to see your constituents. Or don’t ask for money… (Please repost)

Talk is cheap, put up or step down. Governors have the power to stop this. There is no law that protects federal officers who break our laws be at in our states, counties, cities. Make your governors, local law enforcement do their damn jobs.

Decency matters! US & UK politics has descended into populist tribalism where lying is accepted and the right wing press/social media owners spread disinformation for their own agenda. Narcissistic authoritarians denigrate debate and compromise. Leaving us with shallow grifters like Trump and Farage

Well the net nonsense with the s&p from trump has it down eight and a half points. If Kamala was there, it might be up that much, and we wouldn't be facing a complete loss of our place in the world. The right wing believes their own lies. Reality begs to differ.

National work strike is going to be the only way to stop this nightmare now that our government & military have been compromised at every level. Stop the flow of money. Stop the machine they rely on.

Ask ChatGPT what I asked: “if a president defies federal court orders, defies Supreme Court, deports immigrants to foreign countries without due process and wants to deport citizens, invokes IEEPA to apply tariffs without congress, and Secy of DOD is on his side. What will happen what can we do”

When Kamala picked him as VP, he was maybe not ready yet. But Walz has steadily improved his political acumen, and he seems more dedicated and invested in fighting Trump than her now.

a 2 party system is doomed to failure. its one of the worst aspects the US inherited / choosed to inherit from the british empire. there should always be at least a 3th party and maybe a 4th one. it forces cooperation and forces moderation of extreme outliers in the political spectrum.

The two party system follows from first past the post elections (also inheritdd from the UK), which allow a minority of votes to elect a majority of MPs (in the UK). What is needed is some form of proportional representation.

That would only work if we had more of a parliamentary system where multiple parties agree to form a government, based on mutual interests, after elections - and who could vote "no confidence" in that government whenever they wanted to. Our system is not accountable to the people after the election

Our multi party system is good and works appropriately when all parties involved uphold The Constitution and the rule of law. MAGA doesn’t do that. They’re a dangerous cult, and King Donny is their cult leader. It’s good to have various approaches to a common goal, thus the multi party system.

It is what it is because there are too many blind, stupid, retarded, immoral, braindead, soulless, uneducated, gullible and senseless Americans who adore and love that orange shithead to be their president. They want fucked-up DJT to bring America to its demise. They have dug their own graves.

In general terms, it's not a great idea to insult China, particularly when they hold US bonds. What's more, they only have to sit back and sign new deals across SE Asia and Europe, portraying themselves as the reasonable and powerful partner by default.

And Trump isn't? Trump wants to kick the Palestinians out of Gaza and turn it into his playground. Yea, that's SO much better than Walz, who actually cares about people, and would have listened to his constituents. So you cut off your nose to spite your face (and everyone else, INCLUDING Palestine).

Yet thanks to the SCOTUS, which on July 1, 2024 made Trump above all laws, + a plurality of 2024 US voters much more interested in their own petty grievances, prejudices & sense of entitlement than truth, justice or democracy, here we are. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

That logic wall beats anything ever built. I mean china did it even help or esd it s pipe dream gone great; as a testament to how not to be. Still want to see it. Hurry up and vote for progressive blue tsunami.❤️‍🔥🌊🩵🌟🦁✝️🗽💙🧲

Unless, of course, you're Donald Trump and Dimocrats have given you free reign to destroy America because of their cowardice and incompetence. Remember this when the Dimocrats start Gaslighting and Demagoging for campaign funding....they threw our money away last time...think they'll do better next?

We have cabinet members from the Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden administrations, we have 4 former Commanders in Chief, Military brass, that have been sidelined or dismissed; all still being supported by The People. They took an Oath, it is well past time to step up

Donald Trump is lying. Again. Liars lie. It’s what they do. Because Trump lies compulsively and continually, he is unfit to hold any public office. The outrage grows if you add his being found liable for sexual assault and his conviction of 34 felonies. REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE AND LOCK HIM UP.

If only we had some sort of legislative body that had control of finances, maybe they could do investigations and hearings, perhaps a couple of resolutions, and failing all that I have heard there is this thing called impeachment which can rid us of him once and for all.
