As I recently said to a friend: “I fucking hate being right.”

And he said “I fucking hate you being right.”

(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

    You people have been dangling the same carrot for longer than the average American has been alive. It’s like you people forget Bill Clinton was the lesser evil compromise. So was Obama, so was hrc, so was Biden.

    If the US falls to fascism good, maybe you people will wake up. If not, and it’s absolutely not anymore fascist now than it was 5 or a hundred years ago, then in 2026 and 2028 Dems will still lose if they keep trying to blame everyone but their own shitty policies for their losses.

    To your propaganda about being better off than other countries, that has never been true, it’s still not now.

      Sorry buddy but there’s never been a Republican party as dangerous as the current one. Ne-fucking-ver.

      You clearly have no idea what shit is like outside the US.

      Hope for you that you make it to the next election, the way you’re talking you’re probably part of the people the Republicans want to eliminate, try not to make too much of a Pikachu face when that happens!

        As someone that’s been lucky enough to live outside the US most of my life, any country in the EU would require decades of economic depression to reach the disgrace that is the US cost of living vs income.

            Really, your link includes healthcare costs, so unemployment benefits, welfare, and food costs?

            I haven’t clicked on it but if it’s a GDP comparison alone or an inflation comparison that does not include that, edit: I don’t know how to address what you just linked, given it has nothing to do with the conversation.

                All countries where you dont ever have to worry about working while sick, and can go to the hospital freely.

                You’re really not understanding how shit the US is.

                  You’re the one who talked about the cost of living, not me!

                    Which is what I’m continuing to talk about.
