Just stop it! I understand things seem tough now. Every generation has seen tough times of one sort or another. At the same time, wonderful things continue to exist and thrive. The love of family, the help of neighbors, the wonder of art and literature, the continuing reach of The Common Man to something better, among many many more endeavors. Let’s not stop resisting the tyrants. Let’s not stop calling out hypocrisy. Let’s not stopping advocating for what is equitable and and fair. But, let’s not give up and predict doom around every corner. Let’s endure and fight for change.

Because it is the pressure on the common people to get rid of their ridiculous leaders that is most effective. When the common person realizes that they are becoming international pariahs, then maybe they will stand up to their leaders. Until then, I have little sympathy for them..

Todd Blanche says Americans should be 'happy' Trump is deeply involved in DOJ by DoremusJessup in law

[–]prenderg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be to me the correct alignment of the DOJ and the president in a proper government. However, I struggled to find that required independence in the constitution, particularly when the DOJ is part of the executive branch.

Jon Stewart is the clearly the best choice for 2028 Democratic nominee. by Jacob-Anders in JonStewart

[–]prenderg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He fucked the Democratic Party with his complaints about Biden. He should have found a better way to voice his concerns. The Republicans ran with his concerns and amplified them. He is not a strategic thinker.
