We are screwed.

That is why I left the party years ago. For the most part I still side with republicans, but the party is shit. The embrace of Sarah palin was the final nail in the coffin for me. Both sides have these stupid culture wars that average Americans do not care about. But it is way easier to pick a subject that doesn’t have depth, and fills people with emotions, as opposed to debating the tax code, or individual foreign relations. I’m more of a teddy Roosevelt/Coolidge/Eisenhower conservative than bush or trump. Neither side has an actual interest in making our lives better. Cater to the base, and blame everything wrong on the other side. I don’t agree with a lot of what John McCain said, but read his final book. He talked about this in better detail than I am expressingThat's not really just some fluke though, it is a feature of the republican party. It was designed as a coalition of religious looneys, working poor who have been convinced to vote against their own economic self interest over petty culture war issues, and economic conservatives ( e.g., upper middle class folk who don't want to pay 36% marginal tax rate but otherwise despise the first two groups). They were never going to be able to coast to stay in power because all three of those groups need their broadly (electorate-wise) unpopular pet issues taken care of
Also does it at all worry you that Biden cannot complete a coherent sentence
No. You can make fun of the guy's speech impediment all you want, but take any issue and he sounds infinitely more educated than his republican counterpart.
Let me know when Biden contemplates nuking a hurricane.
he has done a lot of great things to strengthen and fund the FRAI defy anyone to mention anything positive he or anyone in his administration has done, without saying the words "Donald Trump"
Now, instead of the usual "well, Trump... but if Trump..." try to get stuck off stupid for a minute and please list the accomplishments this administration has provided so far.
Also does it at all worry you that Biden cannot complete a coherent sentence (which his handlers are quite aware of, hence the taped announcement) and gets lost any time the man tries to walk off a stage?
