I’m a life long liberal but Republicans won the House, Senate, and Supreme Court. Checks and balances exist they’re just wildly favoring conservatives. The DNC overplayed their hand by turning on Sanders, they’re continuing their pay for it. We’re suffering for the mistakes of 2010 Democrats. Liberals across the board have to accept that to better plan for the next election.

It goes much further than 2010’s mistakes. Brazil arrested Bolsanaro for the same scheme Trump pulled. Imagine a world where we held people accountable for crimes in the US. Garland did nothing.

  You’re lucky the US isn’t willing to replay the Chile playbook for that.

  Botched political maneuvers and rhetoric by the Democratic National Committee in the 2010’s directly lead to Trump getting elected. The Clintons played a big part in all of it. Christopher Hitchens warned the public about it for decades. Trump ran on Democrats being a laughable alternative to corrupt Republicans and it worked TWICE and it continues to work.

If checks & balances still existed, the Republican controlled Congress would have impeached Trump for any number of things, or the Republican controlled Supreme Court wouldn't have said it's not a crime if a Republican does it. We are beyond checks & balances at this point (unless a Democrat is elected... then I'm sure we'll see the Republicans suddenly care about rules & laws again).

  The burden of leadership has always existed. Biden shutdown the US during COVID. Some people argue the lockdowns were unconstitutional and abuse of power. Maybe. But it’s beside the point. Right or wrong, the US public VOTED for Republicans to take the House and Senate, that means US citizens wanted to see radical conservative reform. That’s what we’re witnessing. And I wish liberals would realize that, adjust their game accordingly and realign but they’re currently failing to do that with this kind of talk. Trump ran on Democrat hypocrisy and won twice. Think about it.

    >Biden shutdown the US during COVID. No. Trump was president during COVID shutdown, which was mainly in 2020.

      COVID was declared a global pandemic in March at the tail end of Trump’s first administration. The Presidential election was held in November. Biden unfortunately had to oversee enforcing lockdowns and vaccinations. I remember because I worked through the whole ordeal to put my wife through college.

        That was an entire 11 months of trump overseeing various degrees of lockdowns

        Trump was ambushed by COVID at the tail end of his first term during an election year. The Biden administration had to pickup all the pieces for nearly three years. It got him elected and then spread him thin. Look I’m not advocating for any of these people but you have to get the story straight to mount a respectable campaign against Republicans. That’s the Achilles heel to Democrats these days, they’re hotheaded, intellectuals in decline. Learn to take criticism and strategize.
