I'm American, but I try not to say shit like that because it's not true.

Appealing to Trump's ego is the only way allies will survive.

Very bold of you to assume that the only way "allies will survive" is by the grace of the US. Shit Americans say.

Definitely. Democrats were too slow to realize how big the problem at the border was and just how much they were getting punished for it.

The US political system has been destroyed by money. Many other western democracies are so much healthier than in the US because there's very little money in politics.

Not sure what you're talking about.

No, Democrats have to get a hold on the immigration issue. The only countries in this world where progressive policies actually thrive is where leftwing parties have adopted stricter immigration stances (e.g. Denmark). There's no way around it.

Edit: Sure, downvote and keep losing

Wouldn't this just create even more conservatives if they are the only ones having children? Seems counterintuitive.

Better than any R, which would have been the alternative. Don't be a single-issue voter. That's what put Trump back in the WH.

So, Trump just keeps on winning? How about getting rid of the gas dependency altogether? I feel like people are just making one poor choice after the other these days.

The is McConnell's wet dream and has been his entire career. Unfortunately, his dream came true.

Bye, bye net neutrality.

Perception is king. If people feel poor, even if they are not poor, they are poor.

Between shipping manufacturing jobs elsewhere, and allowing in immigrants who do menial work, people at the low end of the economy are pretty pinched for work.

Isn't the unemployment rate close to record low? I mean, a lot of people work 2 and more full-time jobs to make ends meet, but that seems like a different issue.

I don't think they can reverse anything after the fact. That money is gone. But they can definitely halt any new forgiveness.

Well, don't complain. Trump's billions for billionaires will eventually trickle down to you. Just kneel and hold your hand out. I promise, it will come eventually.

SCOTUS has been McConnell's main focus his entire career for this very reason. And, unfortunately, he's been extremely successful. It will have consequences for decades if not generations.

He did everything he possibly could but was derailed by Republicans in red states. He didn't give up after the first setback and helped millions get relief. Did he get everything he wanted? No. But he did do a lot. But that's all over now with Trump incoming and a Republican Congress.

And it will have repercussions for decades and decades. Many, even many younger people, will now not see any changes in the overall makeup of SCOTUS in their lifetime.
