I agree the system is far from perfect, and it does have too many weaknesses that can be exploited by bad actors. But that's why I think we need to fix it rather than further undermine it. And we need everybody taking it seriously to do it. That's why Democrats have to actually put in meaningful effort to improve outreach, push for real reforms, and stop relying on outdated informal handshake agreements when they control congress. The public perception of just being the "lesser evil" won't cut it. Voters also need to better recognize misinformation, avoid falling for misleading narratives, and stop thinking everything is a joke or that nothing matters.

I don't think it can be fixed. It was built to excuse evil even from its inception. Some things do have to collapse when the foundation is too corrupted. Quite like an old house that has started rotting in between the walls and the floor is caving in. Just beyond fixing. The democrats are bound by the system just like the republicans. The difference is that the republicans use the loopholes in the law for their benefit while the democrats follow the laws that makes them look good. One party is very vain while the other is very practical. Us, the people, are being attacked by too much information. Truth is constantly being mixed in with lies. It is too much to ask people to have better discernment. In the good book it is written that "even the elect will be deceived". What does it tell you when even the biblical God's most faithful people are incapable of identifying good and evil?

Btw, thank you for being respectful towards me.

Yall will love a person (celebrity) for decades but then as soon as they use their brain and their opinion happens to not align with yours, yall flip on them. Open your damn eyes and possibly realize that maybe YOUR train of thought (or lack thereof) is what's fukked up...
Exactly. If Denzel would have been calling Trump and MAGA all kinds of names and shyt, spoke at a Harris rally prior to the election, etc nobody would say shyt but now everyone talking about he's out of touch, he doesn't speak for the average black person, stop listening to celebrities, etc.

So regular folks aren't allowed to disagree with certain people just because they're celebs? Are they above criticism? What is the point of the OP making this thread then?
Dogging someone out isn't disagreeing or criticism. It's overboard

“There’s nothing they can do.”

:mjlol:

Who believe that shyt, y’all?

No one said they should not do transition of power.

You’re willfully ignoring the point.

Yashar Ali nailed it in this tweet.






Bububut there’s nothing they can do! :mjlol:

It just makes Democrats look even more toothless and pathetic.


Nah they been calling Tulsi out


Look at this other recent update.

That's what really gets me. This man is supposed to be a Nazi and his crew are supposed to be Nazi's and Biden and the rest are happy to have a peaceful transition of power? Lol like, for what? Why would I peacefully hand you the keys if I know you're going to destroy the country? Mind boggling.
Bro they made him the President. You can’t be up there fighting on camera like this the wwe and shyt. Trump was voted in by the people! Folk could’ve put any of those other candidates in not named Trump in the primaries but they didn’t. People kill me.. first people got those “sleepy Joe” posts on deck, and now he’s supposed to snuff Trump on camera for the world to see… Nah just accept Trump as the President and see what about to happen. If these next 4 years are trash we will see a change right back to the other side,

I can't really say people didn't put some other candidates on. The fact is that everybody important put all their eggs in Harris's basket without asking their constituents if she's their pick. And judging by the past, nobody wanted that lady. I think most folks have accepted the fact he's president, but I appreciate Denzel's commentary even if nobody else does.
