      I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.

      Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

        Of course you are. As am I. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to just “give up.” Yes I’ll vote against Trump at all chance even if it means I’ll lose. Because I may not.

        I don’t want a leader who is fucking exciting or a firebrand. I just want a competent administrator who treats the nation as something to be preserved. And that’s a hard sell against a cheap auto-salesman like Trump.

        Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

        But those are the only two options. So you pick a democrat and hope for the best.

          If the democrats are the best we can hope for then we are well and truly boned.

          And how much longer am I gonna have to hold my nose and vote for an asshole I hate before they get enough power to mean I don’t have to?

          Will I be dead before I can actually vote for someone I want to be in office? And even then will they have a stroke and start schlonging conservative dick?

          Politics is a game designed to be so infuriating that most people rage quit.

      You’re saying this in a thread about a Democrat who won. What is the difference of Chuck Schumer was there or not? It seems to be the same result either way.

        Do you know how Congress works? I’m trying to determine if I have to explain what a “majority” means or not.

          Oh yes here we go another comment about if they don’t have a complete and total majority that they have no power whatsoever. What fucking bunk. He was elected as a senator by the people of the state of New York. He has a solemn and sacred duty to serve those people. It doesn’t matter if other people didn’t win election it’s still his fucking job. If he can’t fucking do it he should resign as should the rest of the useless parasites in that party who don’t feel they have any responsibilities left to the public.

          What a useless party this is and what useless people who are loyal to it.
