We are not at a point as a country to have a serious discussion about governance.

The administration in charge (as recently as yesterday) still blames Biden for issues happening on their watch, even though he hasn’t been in officer for 16 months now.

This is not an administration serious about governing, and until we have an administration serious about governing and taking responsibility for their actions, we will continue to have this situation where half the country blames the half not in power for decisions it is making.

Congress of course is somehow worse, as instead of treating the executive like a branch of government they are meant to have oversight of, they abdicate their oversight role and roll over to the wishes of the present administration.

The net effect is those of us that live paycheck to paycheck (which is 2/3rds of Americans) are caught in the middle of a situation that would be deemed fantastical and not realistic to write about if it was described in a dystopian novel.

The Iran war continues with no oversight from Congress, and no authorized war while we pay the price. Vote them all out.

The problem runs deeper than the current administration. Voting doesn't work.

The Biden administration isn't the antidote to our problems.

Disparaging democracy doesn't work. Saying shit like this is worse than not voting.

EDIT: Downvoted for defending democracy. I do love democracy :-D

This is what you get when you elect a mad king. "I love the inflation" - Donald Trump.

Hi, I live in Minneapolis/Saint Paul. You may have heard about what the Republicans in the federal government did here a couple of months ago! The only appropriate response to your sentiment would, rightly, get me banned from this website. Please think before you speak.
