Because the office of the Presidency is an immensely powerful position and I believed she represented the option to do the least harm with that power.
So why are you chastising us for having the actual capacity (because you can not vote) for trying to stop trump, while allowing the permission structure to entertain those who did not do the same?

What choices did we make that others are incapable of making?

I'm not chastising you for trying to stop Trump. Just the opposite. I'm chastising you for excusing Democrats engaging in behavior that was actually worse than what Trump did, while also excusing their incompetence that led to him being elected again because it tickled your bigot bone.

You made a choice to cosign an idiotic and immoral Democratic campaign strategy that ended in failure. I wouldn't say others were incapable of making that choice, some just chose not to.

Are the only person who makes compromises during elections?

You cosigned the same strategy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) announced plans to introduce the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act. The legislation would direct Federal Agencies to terminate any contracts held by a Special Government Employee, similar to bans for Members of Congress and other federal employees.

If a position like a “special government employee” has the authority to recommend spending decisions by agencies, they could clearly steer federal spending to their own self-interest. Like the bans on receiving federal contracts for Members of Congress and many others in the federal government, it is imperative that no “special government employee” should have the opportunity for personal gain, especially in areas where they can direct federal taxpayer funds.
“No one should have the ability to direct funds towards their personal interest if they are working for the federal government. That’s why we don’t allow Members of Congress or many other federal employees to receive federal contracts. The same is even more true with a special government employee with wide authority to direct federal expenses,” said Representative Pocan. “No government employee, ‘Special’ or not, should have any financial interest in who the government does business with. Elon Musk is the poster child for this type of potential abuse. After more than $20 billion in federal contracts, there’s no way Musk can be objective in what he’s doing. Protecting the taxpayers has to be our number one priority.”

Last year, Elon Musk spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help elect Donald Trump. Since Election Day, he has become $154 billion richer, a nearly 600x return on his investment. Now, Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, has taken control of highly sensitive information in the U.S. Treasury Department and has tried to shut down USAID without any federal oversight. Contracts to his business interests by the Federal Government have exceeded $20 billion, with some additional contracts with undisclosed amounts, as in the case of Starlink.

Text of the legislation will be released as soon as possible.

I love Bernie, but we need to have a discussion on how his supporters turn MAGA overtime.
theres no discussion that needs to be had

they are nothing more than a bunch of selfish grand standers as they have ALWAYS been because he was the same fukking way

he went on Sean Hannity during that early nomination cycle in 2015 to make the case why he was becoming a "dem" after decades of always claiming to be "independant" you know what he said ? she shouldnt just get to "get the nomination" unopposed, she should have to fight for it - so he changed his party and stayed in to disrupt and divert energy and finances ( and at the same time gin up GOP talkers /media ) soley because of HIS personal axe to grind...even long past the time it was obvious he had NO CHANCE to be the nominee.

lets call a fukking spade a spade - this last 2 or 3 elections cycles have shown exactly why nothing on the left gets really done -because attention hogs and self important narcissists like Bernie and others do shytto either get attention and validation or to simply increase their grift ...

if the right is corrupted by its cultish group think the left is corrupted by self important grand standers who dont give a shyt about really succeeding if it means they lose power or influence.

the reason we are now stuck with this orange fukking baboon ...TWICE....is in part due to people like Bernie and others who did eveything to undermine Clinton and then Biden /Harris with insane purity test demands ...as if some other alternative exited for them to have them fufilled by the opposing party....

they knew the choice was between the path and the fire and STILL choose to do things to put us in the fire....

so really fukk Sanders ...

Elon Musk's Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink Over Its Contracts in Ukraine
The Lever reported Tuesday that USAID’s inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government at the time that the billionaire’s DOGE crippled the agency. Publicly available information about that probe is still online. An announcement from last May reads: “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”

Musk has called the agency “evil” and a “criminal organization,” though the fact that USAID was investigating his company may suggest ulterior motivations for the billionaire’s vitriol. It’s unclear what the Starlink probe’s status is right now.
