Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.
I think a good number of your countryman wanted his plan.
1/3 as shown by the votes and this poll. Those people are straight up dumb.
And another third of us are so fucking stupid and apathetic they didn’t care enough to vote
And another third of us are losing our minds watching what’s happening right now
Maybe that third that didn’t go to vote has something to do with not presenting someone that made them vote. Someone that represented them, not the wealthy.
Are you happy with the result of that choice?
No. But that doesn’t mean the Dems didn’t fucked it up with Harris… and the rest of things that gave Trump the White House twice.
Trump is only the current chapter of the descent to hell that started with Nixon. If every Dem POTUS had done his job Trump would be only a TV star.
While I get what you’re saying, fascism is not an improvement over neoliberalism.
They can think that when the opposing option wasn’t literal fascism. They’re dumb as fuck when it was.
But it always is fascism. Because the center always goes to the right when the big party starts saying “it’s us or chaos”. Because people start to think “if this isn’t chaos maybe we should try with chaos” or worse: “if those are the options I’m not playing that game anymore”.
The only way to not lean right is by doing real leftist policies, the ones that make people’s life better. And the Dems haven’t done so in decades. Only some crumbs to have social peace but nothing that can be seen as a game change in politics. And I’m not talking about turning the US into a communist country. I’m talking about, maybe, have public housing for those that can’t afford a better place. Having public markets with only first need food (bread, milk, eggs, …) with affordable prices. Having a good public railroad system, payed by the companies that use it, and high speed trains to relay less in flights and cars. Having a public health system where you don’t have to pay cash to be cured. After all, everyone gets sick sometime.
