One has worked with Bernie Sanders and helped get some his goals achieved in policy and legislature.
The other hired his own children despite their inability to get security clearances, cheated on his wife while she was at home with their newborn, paid illegal hush money over that matter, stole classified documents and likely gave them to adversaries, likely compromised national security multiple times, sowed doubt in our elections with zero evidence to back it up, blew up the debt, fucked up the Supreme Court and has said he’d ignore the constitution, term limits all of that.
Given their posting history, I’m sure OP will find a way to say it’s Biden and the Democratic party’s fault.
Looking at the states through this lens is like all the articles that blame “congress” while ignoring which people in which party of which half of congress caused the issue of the day.
There are a multitude of reasons why this metric would come to be, but according to the comments here the important part is to keep saying “America sucks right now” without identifying any realistic solutions.
Best you’ll get is a half assed hand wave of people mumbling about Karl Marx like that helps anything.
Maybe because there’s no warning and instead it sounds like you’re repeating “Biden sucks” and “democrats suck” over and over.
Like another comment said you offer no solutions or any alternative to shitting on democrats… which isn’t going to help the issue at hand if you are to be taken seriously.
There is also the very real fact that these third parties and their candidates have never accomplished a single policy goal while consistently getting republicans elected; the only accomplishment lyndon larouche or jill kelly have is shifting the odds right.
They never have a collaborative mindset, but instead a separatist / contrarian approach to supposedly a difference of political opinion, by the very nature of their party they are not trying to work with liberals they are going their own way knowing full and well they won’t win… why?
Meanwhile Bernie worked with and endorsed the Democratic Party and successfully shifted the current administration leftward with significant legislative policy accomplishments to show for it.
Use hatred and intolerance to force enough people into states where the electoral college renders their vote useless. Shift a handful of voters via hatred you can lock down a state, lock down the right handful of states and a minority controls the nation.
The article: let’s construct a false image of city dwellers having a false image of rural dwellers to absolve rural dwellers of any personal responsibility.
It completely ignores how much they voted for and continuously cheered on their own economic demise and acts as if poverty only exists in the country and no one has ever suffered similar hardships in an urban setting.
The article got one thing right, THEY LOST THEIR MINDS.
They’ve lived through how many republican administrations yet it’s everyone else’s fault? Republicans have continuously gotten their way… reagonomics, 3 terms from the bush family, Donald trump…and things are demonstrably worse off. You cannot look at America and say the issue is that it was at any point NOT conservative enough.
All while these sensitive rural voters call the rest of the country “out of touch”. They aren’t bad people but holy shit how much do we need to coddle these children while this happens?
Big shame people are unaware of a century’s worth of obscenity law… how in western democracy the high courts literally found that laws like these violated free speech protections over “local prurient interests” and hence struck down those laws.
It was to remake the area Pax Americana as dictated by the the neo con “Project for a New American Century”. Basically republicans making it up as they go along and assuming destabilizing an entire region would somehow stabilize the larger picture.
“ In 1998, Kristol and Kagan advocated regime change in Iraq throughout the Iraq disarmament process through articles that were published in the New York Times...”
Basically they’d been lobbying for the Iraq war since the Clinton admin but normal people saw how fucking stupid of an endeavor it was.
It took 9-11 and a Dick Cheney led psyops campaign to finally make it happen.
The result…?
Chaos, dead soldiers, no real benefit to US, a destruction of our image abroad, a waste of trillions of dollars etc… no real remaking of the region and the “morality” of this new century now belongs to MAGAtes and trump actively arguing he is a dictator who can stay in office indefinitely and kill his opponents.
Way to go republicans…
Also now we have idiots spamming stupid memes that show they can’t tell the different between the 90s and their own asshole.

But both sides amirite?
