For the first time in nearly a decade, more respondents to one survey said they prefer Democrats’ approach to the economy.

    None of this matters now. Idiots gave the keys to the oligarchs and now they have stolen all of our data and placed AI into all aspects of our government.

    Even if Elon and Trump didn’t openly admit to hacking the vote tabulating machines, they can cripple and hold our government for ransom anytime they want.

    There is no more “going back” or “voting for incremental change”. It can’t happen without a violent revolution. People spent a decade screaming it to the populace but they cheered for the destruction of the country. Literally, they cheered Elon Musk as he took a “chainsaw” to all of the stuff that we voted on, paid taxes for, and the organizations that could have held him responsible for all of his illegal actions and business practices.

    I don’t know if those stupid idiots that killed the USA are more stupid than the ones that still don’t realize what has happened.

      You’re right and each conversation I have with folks that still seem to think this country is actually salvageable at this point makes me more and more convinced that it will not happen. We’ve got no unity and have been successfully atomized so thoroughly that the average modus operandi is being antisocial or asocial at best. We survived this long by evolving as communal animals, we’re at our strongest when we connect with, care for, and rely on one another, without those bonds I fear we may be cooked.

      I deeply and genuinely hope I’m wrong

    Results of a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday showed that 42% of registered voters would vote for a Democratic congressional candidate at present, compared to 37% for a Republican.

    Considering how gerrymandered the country is, I’m not sure this is a big enough lead.
