    We vote out all Republicans because they destroyed the economy. Democrats set economy on recovery path. We vote out all democrats because the recovery wasn’t near fast enough, republicans undo all recovery. Rinse and repeat.

      We vote out democrats because they only care about their stock portfolios, the rich, and israel. they did nothing about food prices, rent prices, education prices, healtcare prices, or anything else that affected the everyday person. But hey! the stock market was GREAT!

      The dem establishment are losers - they appeal to no one but milquetoast centrists. NOTE: I held my nose and voted Dem. I wont be wasting my time with that anymore.

      EDIT: yeah, downvote. I’m sure next time the Dems get in power, they’ll talk big and do nothing. Probaby put another republican in the AG office, and let all the felonies skate again. Same shit as always. They’re complicit. Open your eyes.

        We don’t vote for democrats because we like democrats.

        We vote for democrats to exterminate the modern republican party.

        We are not the same.

    “If” they cause a recession?

    Raphael, you’ll be fucking lucky if the economy just stops at recession.

      It takes 3 years of recession to become a depression. It won’t be declared before the midterms, and I hope it doesn’t happen at all, but those chickens may come home to roost right as the next presidential election starts to get into full swing.

        Thing is, the economic indicators will still be there.

        If there’s been two full years of recession because of GOP policies, what do you think the odds are they’ll go into a third year if the GOP is allowed to stay in power?

          No doubt, it’s just the “D” word wouldn’t be official until, oh, about the 2028 presidential conventions.

    The only way we have a chance at accountability is if we get a midterm bloodbath and flip the house and Senate. Then we need to impeach Trump and every one he’s appointed, and who’s in his cabinet for treason, and follow through all the way to the public executions.

    Then we need to go after the people who funded Trump and his PAC’s, strip them of their citizenship and nationalize their assets.

    Musk, Zuckerberg, Besos, they’re all going to need to be made examples of

    Senator Rand Paul said something similar earlier.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/05/rand-paul-trump-tariff-canada/82943622007/

    “Tariffs have… led to political decimation. When (President William) McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, they lost 50% of their seats in the next election,” Paul told reporters a day after Trump’s announcement, later adding “So they’re not only bad economically; they’re bad politically.”

        McKinley is actually Trump’s idol. On his very first day back in office one of his first EOs was to rename Mount Denali to Mount McKinley. it isn’t a coincidence that Trump also loves tariffs.

      he spoke up in concern for his own job, if the grease stops flowing in he may actually live in the state he’s supposed to be representing.
