Is it really a democracy when one party in a 2 party system are more loyal to foreigners than existing citizens?
That's not 'Of the people, by the people, for the people' - You can call it 'democracy' but it's definitely not democracy, it's something else. - And the one and only party that is at least somewhat loyal to the citizens, is labelled racist, xenophobic, etc.. If a person displays a preference to traditional family values, they are labelled religious extremists... Nationalism is considered a sign of potential sovereign citizen extremism. Basically in the US the Democrats gain power unto themselves by combining all the minorities under the one unbrella, but they don't really care about these downtrodden people they claim to represent any more other gaining power for the elites and lobbyists / special interest groups and donors that they actually represent. These people gain and maintain power by creating and exploiting division. The average moron thinks they are standing up for the rights of downtrodden minorities, but that's not what's really happening at all. It's just an exercise in gaining and maintaining power through division within a 2 party system. Posted by Armchair Critic, Tuesday, 30 January 2024 3:00:27 PM

One word can sum up a Robert Reich opinion:
- Stupid! "He'd weaponize the Department of Justice to victimize his enemies." Really? How do they write this stuff with a straight face? What were they doing to Trump? Do they live in a world where they think the rest of us don't know what they were doing to Trump themselves or think we forgot? Does he have Downe Syndrome? Is there a valid reason for his brain farts? Has he been eating the chock chip ice cream with Joe Biden? "He's vowed to investigate the media for 'treason'." - Were they not shown to be withholding stories to help a political candidate (Biden) win a US election? "He wants to 'root out' leftists from our country calling them 'vermin'." - Did Hilary Clinton not herself campaign against the 'deplorables', saying they needed to be placed in re-education centres? Robert Reich had no problem supporting her. "She’ll be an excellent president for the system we now have, even though Bernie would be the best president for the system we need." http://www.vox.com/2016/5/19/11712146/robert-reich-bernie-sanders "If you're not horrified, then you're not paying attention." - I'm horrified that people are actually this stupid, ignorant and switched off they can't even pick up on their own hypocrisy... and that other people actually cluelessly listen to what these idiots say, and then repeat it without any apparent self-awareness of what they are actually repeating... Talk about 'Doubling down on stupid', well this is similarly stupid. We can call it - 'When dumb meets dumber' 'Trumps going to weaponize the Department of Justice to victimize his enemies.' Really? ...Pot. Kettle. Black. You'd have to be an idiot to even repeat this garbage sorry Foxy... - His enemies - the one's that have been after him since prior to 2016? That made up stories about Russian prostitutes so they could spy on his 2016 campaign? The people that probably organised the murder of Seth Rich? - Well then I certainly hope he succeeds in ousting those corrupt and treasonous individuals which should not be in government, should he win.

""He'd weaponize the Department of Justice to
victimize his enemies." That's just precious. Thinking the DOJ isn't already weaponised against the enemies of the current regime. The naivety is astounding. Explain to us again how you understand US politics. While you're at it explain to us how the Electoral College is never updated. Posted by mhaze, Tuesday, 30 January 2024 3:38:13 PM

I view America as a two headed, one party state with a pretence at democracy, by falsely presenting the two heads as offering "alternatives" to each other, when in fact they are one in the same, with no substantive differences, there is no capacity for real and lasting change. American Capitalism is always the winner, the poor will remain poor, the rich will get richer, and injustices will prevail, regardless of which head is in the White House.

"One word can sum up a Trump second-term:
Vengeance!""
"He'd weaponize the Department of Justice to
victimize his enemies."
"He's vowed to investigate the media for 'treason' ."
"He wants to "root out" leftists from our country
calling them "vermin"."
"If you're not horrified, then you're not paying
attention.
