Three out of five Supreme Court justices found the 70-year-old guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

    I am yet to see any sign that the upper echelos of the Democratic party aren’t in on it.

    Unfortunately, without a grassroots movement that has a way to guarantee that people will commit and vote for a third single-issue party that will actually change things without going into ideological divisions, and just fix the money in politics and electoral system and stuff like that, then declare elections again right away, things will not change.

      More and more, I’m seeing the Dems actually RESIST any effort to regain our nation from the treasonous MAGA Nazis. Who cares if Minneapolis or New York gets a Socialist mayor, at least they aren’t literal Nazis, but the Dem leadership doesn’t agree.

      The Establishment Dems have made it very clear that they would prefer a MAGA in office than a Democratic Socialist. They now have one issue - Insider Trading. It’s the only reason they stay in power; it certainly isn’t because they believe in Democratic issues, they haven’t advocated for those things since Obama, and even he was really weak.

      It’s all about corruption now, and the Dems are on board for it.

      This is why I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. Both parties are corrupt, and I don’t want to be part of either club.

        What I find crazy is that in 2024 I was telling people if they vote 3rd party, they’re basically just voting for trump. Fast forward to today, and I’m thinking maybe now is the time to vote for those 3rd party candidates. Voting for dems, even if they win, doesn’t seem to be helping much. Biden was basically useless in doing the most important thing he had to do; secure our elections. Maybe the democratic party needs to just die. And while I say that, I’m fully aware that the country will only slip deeper into dictatorship and fascism if democrats lose to republicans, but maybe that just needs to happen. Maybe things need to get really fucking bad for people to actually wake up and realize that voting, protesting, doing all this docile shit… is just completely impotent and worthless. Look at Nepal, they picked up their torches and took their country back in just a few days!!!
