        Have you not been watching the videos of the floor, confirmation hearings, or investigations? The majority of them have finally started to use their voice. I’m hoping this continues.

        Regardless, people need to actually vote in the goddamn primaries and midterms if they want change. An average of ~20% voter turnout in primaries and midterms is exactly why things remain the same.

    Republicans despise working-class Americans, it couldn’t be more obvious.

      Americans voted to screw over working-class Americans, don’t fucking try to kid yourselves.

      Super convenient to pass the buck even when you get what you voted for.

      Edit: Sorry, disgruntled Canadian here. But I did mean what I said.

        It’s even worse than that. Americans were too lazy, stupid, and gullible to stop it. So many people just punch whoever the ® candidate is in their ballot, if there’s even an option not to. They don’t even know who they’re voting for or understand the facts about what everyone’s talking about. The average voter doesn’t even know that tariffs against another country are a tax on us all, for example. Never mind the fact that it’s the most basic economic idea of “if the manufacturer pays more then they’ll charge you more.” There ones with opinions usually just swallow whatever bullshit that Fox spoons into their mouths; conservative minds are programmed to accept on faith whatever the guy at the top says as gospel, the obvious religious analogy being part of said training.

      Ya at least you can opt out of overdraft entirely unlike the banks using your money for irresponsible ‘investments’. I have no idea why anyone has overdrafting active on their accounts beyond it simply being the default option, even for a $5 fee it’s a total scam.
