    When apparently you can just rename everything America and after yourself at whim as President, the never-ending excuses for getting nothing done during Democratic presidential administrations will not cut it for me this time.

      What a funny thing to hang your hat on. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be sarcastic or not.

      Renaming stuff is probably the easiest thing in the world. It costs money down the road, but it’s significantly less intrusive and costly than doing almost anything else this admin has already done.

        They don’t say “it’s too expensive”, they say “republicans won’t let us do it”.

        But they let republicans do anything they want, including stupid petty distractions like renaming places. They are not on your side. Also they committed the majority of the genocide in Gaza. Democrats are not your friends, very few of them are decent humans.

          I never said they are on our side, I just found your particular point about it silly.

          Not even going to comment on the rest of your reply. You clearly live in a black and white world.

            You clearly live in a world where suffering of others is negotiable as long as it benefits you, and you call that a colorful world.

            What a weird way to attempt to insult me, yes genocide and imperialism are bad and their supporters are bad, there’s no room for gray in there.

              You’re refusing to look at how the killing accelerated under Trump and you fucking dare to accuse us of not caring?

              Everybody who looked and thought for 2 seconds predicted it would be worse under Trump, tried to stop Trump, and you didn’t care because you refused to believe it could be worse under Trump, and then you claim the moral high ground for rejecting evidence

              There is more genocide and imperialism because Trump got another term

                The killing factually decelerated under Trump.

                That’s not to defend him or his plans of turning Gaza into a beachfront resort, but factually, the killing is no where near as bad as it was under Biden.

                You predicted it in 2 seconds, we lived through the live streamed genocide from day one, you’re wrong, and it’s disgusting how smug you are about it.

                  LOOK AT THE CHARTS

                  You’re just blatantly lying here, the charts fucking jolt up under Trump, YOU HAVEN’T EVEN LOOKED and insists on just believing your gut!

                  YOU’RE the smug fuck for refusing to look

    I’ll be the first one to say that the current Democratic party needs replacing, but they’re not wrong.

    Or did everyone forget that you need a supermajority in the Senate to get past the Presidential veto?

    Is anyone truly naive enough to think that Donald Trump would sign anything the Democrats put forward? The man who told Republicans to tank legislation with things they wanted in it to avoid giving Democrats a win?

    Unless you’re advocating for a revolution, you have to work within the system. And it’s not the Democrats fault that is easier to break a thing than to fix it.

    It’s always easy to point out a problem. Solutions are what we need, and all this kind of post does is discourage left-leaning people from voting, which is what the Republicans want.

    So unless you have something resembling an actual solution, this just seems like virtue signaling to me.

      they’re not wrong.

      Why can Republicans govern with a slim majority while Democrats consistently need a supermajority?

        The democratic party accomplished all of its goals during the biden administration: they sold weapons for genocide.

          I like it when people focus on one thing and ignore all the actual accomplishments. Or maybe you aren’t ignoring them. Maybe you’re entirely ignorant of them.

            Petty concessions do not obscure the overt imperialist oppression.

            “I don’t care about the fact we support genocide so long as I get better quality of life.”

            What a fucked mentality. Go find your solidarity with the oppressed.
