If you like traitors you must like felons and rapists too. Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump is the whole package for you then.
The Electoral College has actually been doing the exact opposite of what the founders created it for. It was created so that presumably the electors would be wiser than the voters and nullify a bad choice like Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. Instead it literally allowed him to be elected without a majority of votes.
started StarTrek.website.
I don’t use that because you are (or someone is) modding it wrong. You don’t allow people to talk about which parts of Star Trek they don’t like and others might want to avoid. Fuck that. All parts of Star Trek are not equally good.
They already tried Jan 6 !
Nope. Those bootlickers were on the side of the corporate/billionaire enshitifiers, trying to make the enshitification MUCH worse.
Genuine question: what is the real alternative to WP?
What’s wrong with html/css/js? It can do anything you want it to do.
I would have thought this would be the most highly upvoted, because it focuses on what actually matters. Policy. Weird that the most important submission is the least upvoted.
Jake Tapper is the worst. Can’t stand the guy.
His nephew is still in politics and he thinks speaking out will hurt his nephew’s political career.
While it’s not inconceivable that you could see an offshoot try to replace the Republicans, I doubt it would happen.
It really depends heavily on timing. If Trumpism fades almost immediately after the election, the GOP can probably survive. If not, there is a good chance of it being replaced. All that would need to happen would be 2 critical steps. (1) A few big conservative big names announce the formation of a traditional conservative party that rejects Trumpism. (2) Over the next couple of years a wave of incumbant GOP senators and congressmen announce they are moving to the new party to break free of MAGA. That new party might still caucus with the GOP but would have a huge amount of leverage over it.
Conservatives took over the Democratic party over 30 years ago
The Democratic Party was much more conservative 30 years ago than today.
Democrats serve Wall Street and Silicon Valley first
Then how come Biden raised corporate taxes? How come every Dem voted against Trump’s gigantic tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy? Following the money cuts thru all the vague claims and bullshit and provides clarity.
The less of a threat Republicans are, the less incentive establishment Democrats have to put the needs of voters ahead of their sponsors.
That is the exact opposite of how politics work. The one and only thing that will result is a big shift to the left is for Dems to win over and over and over.
The political pendulum always swings back and forth. We are way overdue for a big swing to the left.
There’s no other way for politicians who aren’t part of the two major parties to win.
That’s totally fine. The short term reason for a new conservative party is to split the vote and insure the MAGA GOP cannot win. The medium/long term goal would be to replace the GOP as one of the 2 major political parties, just like when the GOP replaced the Whig Party. The way this would happen would be for a significant number of incumbant GOP senators and congressmen to announce they are moving to the new conservative party.
A second conservative party that disowns Traitorapist Trump would be a political earthquake. Conservatives would then be 100% certain that MAGA is making them lose.
Melania was also an illegal immigrant.

Medicare Disadvantage Plans suck money out of the system from 3 different sides.
(1) They cost the government more money per patient than real Medicare
(2) They falsely denied 18% of valid claims according to Medicare’s Inspector General. They also screw customers by denying people specialists , requiring prior approvals etc.
(3) They cost providers more money by increasing the manpower they need to get their payments by throwing up hassles.
“Medicare Brokers” get gigantic commissions (not just the first year but EVERY year someone is on the same plan) to push Medicare Disadvantage Plans on people who don’t know any better.
There is a also a SECOND medicare scam from the GOP for people who wisely avoid Medicare Disadvantage called “Accountable Care Organizations”. The bottom line is that you cannot trust your primary doctor’s advice on when to seek a specialist because they pay doctors to discourage you from seeking a specialist when you need one. They don’t give you a choice about belonging to an ACO but they do have to notify you when they stick you in an ACO, so at least you know when your primary doctor has a financial incentive to discourage you from getting treatment.

This is why I feel compelled to defend Republicans and conservatives who do the right thing. In part because there are not enough of them doing the right thing in a clear manner.
After they are elected, they dont even try.
There was never any time after the court took away abortion rights in which Dems controlled both the presidency and both houses of congress. All legislation originates in the House which is GOP controlled, so how would it be possible for them to “try”?
Not true. It is firm control of congress and the presidency. That is what created the New Deal and the Civil Rights era.
