    It’s really funny that you’re brushing off the one thing democrats had in their hands: blocking the budget. Yes, they are a slight minority, but to pass a budget the republicans don’t have the needed majority.

    Now of course you argue that it’s a minority of democrats that collaborated, but I think it’s pretty telling that all of them are not up for the next election, and I suspect that they were chosen to be the ones taking the fall by the party.

    Also fun fact, I will not let anybody win or lose, because I am not a citizen of the US of A.

    And finally, the fact that you’re choosing to resort to ad hominem really shows who the real dumbass is.

        There is an option in your settings so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.

        None of these imaginary points matter.

          I like seeing upvotes and downvotes. It gives me a general idea of the common sentiments among other people viewing the post.

          But it makes sense that someone from .ml would want to be sheltered from the kind of information that might tell them when people disagree with them

        Brother I don’t care about down votes. If you can’t handle the truth and prefer to slam me with down votes instead of returning arguments, feel free.

        But know that it will not change how I think, and it will probably not change anything about what the status quo is.

        All it does is making you look like a kid, because you behave like one

          You don’t have a monopoly on “truth,” and I’m not going to waste my time arguing with someone who’s so out of touch with reality. Maybe in a different era, but this is 2026.

          I don’t care if you change what you think, you can continue being confidently wrong. And when you help Republicans maintain their hold on power, you will be partially responsible.

          Sure, tell me you think I’m a kid. What I think is childish is letting some ideological purism get in the way of political pragmatism.
