Thursday marks the 30th day of the federal government shutdown and the American public has grown more concerned about the shutdown throughout the month and more disapprove of how Donald Trump is handling the federal government, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
More Americans blame Trump and the Republicans in Congress than the Democrats for the shutdown, the poll finds.
I need to know whatever the fuck you are smoking, because it’s clearly the strongest stuff I’ve heard of.
Comparing an electorate who values qualifications, competency, and a social safety net to a populist, hateful cult is quite the leap. Same goes for the representatives that they support.
There is no perfect candidate. Positive change will be iterative, not transformative. The peaceful transfer of power, deference to experts (republicans terminated the Chevron deference, but it was respected by all Democrat administrations) and other programs targeted to benefit the general public (ACA being the largest victory) were the hallmarks of Democrat policies. Did each of those administrations have flaws? Of course! That’s not equitable to the times we are in, however.
Fuck off with this “both sides are poison” rhetoric. Your vote’s power comes from your contribution to how iterations are performed, or in this case, stopping the bleeding cause by these Republican-inflicted wounds.
Alternatively, if you’re an astroturfer being paid a dollar to post this, great job. Your boss should give you a raise, and a passerby should have the good decency to slash your tires before you head home from the office.

Lately I’ve been smoking Chomsky but I have sampled many of the finest intellectuals.
Also, I vote Democrat almost all the time because they are the lesser of two evils. And when I’m not voting Democrat, it’s because I can afford to vote 3rd party, either because there are no Republicans in the race or because the Democrat is all-but-guaranteed to win. But I’m sure none of that will matter to you, as you’re so quick to assume I’m just a troll. Right, anyone who says anything you disagree with is a troll? That seems to be the general consensus here.
there obviously not being a perfect candidate does not mean we should vote for any of the two parties that have consistently done good for their owner class and their own pockets over the citizens
Real mindfuck for ya: I vote for Democrats and also criticize them - because I’m not a mindless fucking lemming.
if a tried food does not taste good the first time and sends you to the bathroom but you try it again thinking maybe hands were not washed or something but instead back on the toilet but afterwards go back again and again just to wind up with a sore hole and nothing to show for it
then why keep doing it? what are the supporting facts for continuing to vote straight blue or red?
are the voting machines even owned by the government or are they privately owned?
whole thing sounds more rigged than both sides
I don’t really know what you’re talking about, but yes, it is rigged, and having only two choices, both of whom are beholden to a few rich and powerful interests, is part of the rigging.
democrats really got to you
can stop now those boots are wet as fuck
our minimum wage is frozen at $7.25, no universal healthcare, out of control police, environment is getting trashed, education is not being properly funded, and list goes on
More ad hominem with no actual retort to anything I said. Brilliant.
