Why don't you start then? Tell us the positives so everyone can discuss it instead of just lazily dismissing everyone else's takes?

You’re free to post whatever contrarian take you want. Be the change you want to see instead of complaining.

#125Earlier quoted context omitted.
Anything difficult is effectively impossible until you decide to begin working on it.
Even if it were possible for Dems to get control of the house and impeach the prez, there is no way that Senate will convict unless the GOP Senate goes back to becoming the GOP instead of the MAGA-GOP, which seems extremely unlikely.
Its interesting, you don't have enough republicans united to pass any of the agenda as law instead of executive orders but you also don't have 3 republicans willing to break to impeach for doing stuff they don't want (otherwise they'd pass it as law).

#126Harvard as an institution is older than the USA. It will survive 4 years of a lunatic's presidency.
As it’s going, probably 8 years.

#127I feel US higher education, which brain drains the rest of the world, is easily one of the best strategic advantages it could have for the next 100 years. Let’s throw that all away because learning is liberal.

Makes me think of:
"Reality has a well known liberal bias" - Stephen Colbert
The amount of "burn it all down because I don't like the people that like this thing" is depressing.

This is essentially cultural revolution from the right.

#129If you are a Republican and didn’t sign up for this, can you please write your representatives about impeachment? This is getting ridiculous. We’d be much better off with a president Vance.
I used to think that the Republican officials just put on a mask and perform kabuki for their Dear Leader. But the signalgate texts proved otherwise. This kind of thinking has penetrated deep into the party. It's not going away. Not with Vance.

#130I get flak for hating Republican voters with the general feeling of most people being that voters are not responsible for the officials THEY elected to represent them. I still haven't found a valid argument for why a voter isn't held responsible for the actions of representatives. Especially if the actions would be likely to occur.
Voters face the consequence for their voting. So, in that meaning, they are responsible for the actions of the representatives.
Except sometimes the first order consequences are far greater than second order, and you vote for people who have first order consequences on others.
