Editorial: As US debt reaches the barely imaginable milestone of $40 trillion, America’s ability to meet its financial obligations – coupled with the reality that the global economy depends on decisions made in Washington – should concentrate White House minds on ending its consequential war with Iran
It’s almost like we had 4 years under Sleepy Joe to tackle this if anyone gave half a shot
It’s always the Democrats fault for not fixing everything the republicans wrecked quickly enough. Fucking Democrats!
It’s fair to complain that the checks and balances are neither checking nor balancing. Republicans are cunts, but Democrats are also cunts for not doing anything about them. And the dumbfuck American voter is the biggest cunt of all.
No question that the American voter is the ultimate problem (and I am one). Or more to the point, the American non-voter is the real problem.
But you seem to suggest each party carries equal blame, and that is most certainly not the case.
No I don’t.
Cuntiness is a spectrum, not an absolute value.
Sure, but you made no attempt to quantify the difference between them. Short of that, we must assume you mean they are equal.
I’ll concede Dems have a better record on human rights, although I think their intentions ultimately still serve capitalism.
Then again, the drone strikes under Obama, the Vietnam War under Kennedy and Johnson…
So instead of spreading the blame, your immediate reaction is to defend Democrats from blame for doing nothing?
Yes, yes they are to blame for doing nothing to stop damage. Republicans are up blame also. If you claim to be opposition and don’t do anything up oppose, you need to be blamed.
Stop treating your life like a political team sport.
But both sides !
Yes, fuck both sides, now you get it. Jesus Christ you people will cheer “lesser evil” even as it eats you alive.
Fuck your lesser evil, it’s just evil to us victims.
“You people” — now you’re being racist!
Shut up. Neo-liberal is not a race.
Calling the slaughter of brown people “lesser evil”, is racist.
كس أمكم واحد واحد انشاء الله تتمدر حياتك و حيات اطفالكم زي ما سرقتو مستقبلنا و ذبحتو أطفالنا و شيطنتو ثوارنا و استعمرتو بلادنا و عينتو حكامنا و سميتونا إرهابية يا ولاد الكلب.
Your mother’s pussy is one by one, God willing, your life and the lives of your children will be as you stole our future, slaughtered our children, demonized our revolutionaries, colonized our country, appointed our rulers, and called us terrorist, sons of a dog.
— yikes Im sorry for personally stealing your future! You really know how to zero in on the real cause in order to get what will make things better — not at blind futile directionless rage shouted at complete strangers. This will definitely work out! I admire you.
You’re not a completely stranger, you’ve identified yourself as a liberal supporter of the Democratic party, which participates in the destruction and colonization and genocides of the American empire.

It’s not a team sport, and I most certainly don’t fly the flag of any party. Both both sides-ing the erosion of democracy is not only unhelpful, it benefits Republicans who are actually, verifiably to blame.
You can call democrats ineffective, and old largely agree, but blame isn’t the right word to levy at them.
Lack of specificity. Most of the time when this happens, they should have said “rich off AIPAC-Democrats”.
If you want to call cramming 8 trillion more on the pile ‘fixing everything’ than be my guest
