American, are you satisfied with the current level of politics in the United States?

Question

MisterWack · Accepted Answer

No, frankly I’m not.
We have one American who is the first to claim our election system was rigged months before it was carried out, pushed the lie on election night, carried the torch to January 6th, 2021 sending a violent hateful mob with it to our nation’s Capitol in Washington DC. never conceded. Now he is the nominee once again… Still the nominee after being found GUILTY on all 34 counts of falsifying business records (his wife was in NYC able to go to the trial in defense of him / to show support, didn’t since it was about the affair behind her back). Enough is enough, Americans can choose this convicted felon moronic destructive burden that has a choke hold on our Democratic Republic OR the man who literally is a boring white male politician like all those years before that does his job well enough, has minimal scandal, and who actually accepts results of elections / stands against mobs / upholds the rule of law (won’t pardon his son).

President Biden isn’t as good as President Obama, but he is miles ahead of Trump. Infrastructure Act, expansions of Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare), free masks & free tests for the pandemic, American Rescue Plan, efforts to work across the aisle to pass meaningful legislation includes: Pact Act, Chips & Science Act, Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and so much more. Paying back billions of dollars of Student Loan Debt, Removing our troops from Afghanistan, President Biden’s Administration is going after monopolies / Anti Competition Greedy Powerful Corporations such as Apple, Ticketmaster, and more.

President Trump was a disaster from deregulating corporations, giving tax cuts to the wealthy, appointing extremist corrupt SCOTUS Justices who would later overturn Roe V. Wade, bumbled up Covid19 Pandemic & was more focused on winning an upcoming election than lifting a finger against violent BLM (as he claimed however never did anything to stop them). His building of the wall is still in place along with his border policies left unchanged yet people point the finger to Biden when it is more complicated since President Biden wanted Fentanyl Detectors, Close The Border, Asylum Seekers Fast Pathway, Punish Those That Cross Undocumented By Refusing Them Asylum In The Future, etc. however Republicans listened to Trump to kill the Bill before it even had a chance. President Biden passed Executive Order to close the border at his command and move forward with punishing those that cross undocumented by refusing them future asylum. President Trump didn’t want us to panic, he panicked and knew the pandemic in February on tape didn’t even tell us to prepare…. Told us to inject bleach and “People are dying that’s true… ”It is what it is”.

As a former Trump supporter, this needs to stop. Vote for the boring white guy Joe Biden who cares about this country’s principles not for the tyrant out for himself trying to save himself from a cold jail cell.

“Who Americans are at their core” is really the biggest problem we have going. Shoddy politics is just a result of idiot citizens, lmao. Bad people elect bad leaders because they have bad character, values, and priorities.

The right wing has gone COMPLETELY off the deep end, to the point where they can’t even agree on a shared basis of facts with everyone else, and claim literally everything not going their way is “rigged” or “a conspiracy.”

Honestly, if America has a downfall any time soon, it’ll be because of “conspiracy theory culture.” People choosing to believe something that doesn’t make evidentiary sense, but it gives them the answer they wanted it to be. The purveyors of the conspiracies spew a bunch of nonsensical jargon vaguely associated with the topic at hand, knowing full well that most of the people listening have no idea what any of it means, and as long as it’s said confidently, articulately, charismatically…they believe it to be credible.

And people are being taught to REJECT actual experts who are talking sense, because it doesn’t tell the listener what they were hoping to hear, and there’s no intrigue or compelling story of crazy behind-the-scenes shit to make the listener feel like they’re one of the smart, savvy people who are “in the know”…. it’s really just hyping up dumb people into believing that everyone else is dumb, not them. And an alarming amount of people really seem to prefer confident frauds over humble experts🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I don’t mean to pile on only one party for influence reasons, the left has their problems too. Number one might be “why is an octogenarian your strongest presidential candidate?”, lmao. I don’t think Biden is anywhere near as bad as the right wing very dishonestly tries to make him out to be…

….. like that’s just a complete embarrassment that should make any rational, reasonable viewer say “Well I clearly can’t trust this news outlet…”, but these guys remain at or near the top, it’s mind-blowing.

Like I just don’t know how we carry on a country with these people in the mix, who can’t just live in reality and have normal political debate. It’s straight up reality denial, there’s nothing else to call it.

That said…in fairness…. this DID happen, so….😂😂😂

https://www.youtube.com/embed/0vpIF65ISZU

Maybe just a head bop or two, how about it, Joe?😂😂😂

But yeah, the infiltration of conspiracy theories is probably the most troubling thing to me, just because SO MANY people believe it. And when you get them individually, it’s never a normal person, they’re always just kind of a general nutjob even without the conspiracy theories😂 They seem to have an existing penchant for fantasy, but also, they almost always have a strong anti-establishment bias, so these people are supremely DESPERATE for any prevailing wisdom to be proven false🤷‍♂️

They’re all controlled by the Jews. considering what they’re doing to the Palestine people proves they are not sane people with good intentions, hence the shitshow they’re controlling in the USA.
maybe when we get all the Jews out of places of power, only then can we start to see a change for the good of the people.
let’s get this done!
do your research and if a person is half Jew half American don’t vote them! We need Americans to rule our country that actually want to make it better and not some Jew that all they care about is taxing us to give better lives to their family in another country ( Israel) while they continue to kill those they dislike.

and no this is not antisemitism. It’s simply speaking a truth. Jews go help your own people and stop forcing us Americans to support your sick wars. Get out of our country if you’re not helping us you’re not welcome here.

Not at all, we are a train wreck right now. Both candidates for President are too old, both show signs of cognitive decline and one is a lunatic. Our elected officials can't even get along with themselves, apparently most of them have forgotten that their job is to represent the best interests of the people that elected them, not cater to the whims of their respective party's agenda. We used to be the world standard, now it seems like we're the world's punch line.

bobby_bush_eater · Answer

No it's very bad. Very very bad.

Congressman and Senators are insanely corrupt. All presidential candidates suck and live by lobbyists. Lobbying is so out of control, FUCK AIPAC!

Our politicians consistently lie and hide things, districts are literally turned by prior decisions of politicians ie. Obama bringing Somali scum into MN and now Omar is essentially a permanent congresswoman.

Immigration is so out of control it's insane. Local politics don't actually represent anyone they just do what they want and are massive hypocrites that answer to nobody.

We pay colleges billions a year from the government endowments and they still raise tuitions and the government doesn't address it they just try to cancel debt for brownie points and voter grabbing. The medical industry has been price gouging for years and it's a similar story.

Money printing is just insane, also why do we give a fuck about so many other nations and give them "humanitarian aid" when we get nothing... These aren't even border nations or in America, why the fuck do we pay Egypt and Israel every year billions?

The Pentagon loses track of billions every year.

This country genuinely needs a no nonsense radical to the likes of some of our prior presidents.

We're still the superpower despite all these issues because everyone else is at least just as fucked up but that won't last forever

Quigly · Answer

No,

Not happy with the current administration.

Of course, the left has predictable behavior. Everyone knew they would steal the election. They need a fake news media apparatus to fool the gullible or willfully ignorant. Steal the election and then steal your wallet was their plan.

We now know the virus escaped from a lab in China, the media tried to cover it up. We now know that Fauci and the NIH were involved in gain of function research in China. The media tried to cover it up. We now know there are illegal Chinese labs in America conducting illegal research.

Allowing millions of illegals to enter the country operating outside of congress cause they know the voters are not for open borders. Now they are attempting to give those illegals Amnesty. Sending billions of Dollars to fight a war in Ukraine against Russia and providing food and shelter to illegals while Americans sleep on the street. Intentionally Raising inflation to increase poverty on everyday Americans while increasing the wealth of the 1%,

This is the reality of the past four years and they are desperately trying to tell people it's all Trumps fault.

Now they are Weaponizing the Judicial system against the American people and any Political opposition to what they are doing along with round the clock projection and gaslighting from the left wing media going into the 2024 election.

It's the greatest display of Bank fraud the world has ever seen and the economy is now crumbling.

NaultD · Answer

To be honest, the government is acutely representing the division the average citizen faces today. Our representatives and our reputation are stronger than ever. I think that is a good thing.

Our stubbornness and unwillingness to compromise are another thing entirely. The government I am actually happy with. I'm more disappointed in our fellow neighbors and citizens.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

Fuck no. Whether I agreed with them or not, I don't think we've had any decent politician since the late 90s - and not many since the early 90s.

Politics in the US has totally gone to hell in the last 25-30 years. I'm not even being partisan. It's totally gone to hell, and it happened pretty quickly.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

Nope. I think currently, no matter what "side" you're on, you at least know it's all fucked up right now. Not going to play the blame game because that's when people start picking "sides" and starts pointing fingers. I'm just saying we all know it's fucked up right now.

BCA6010 · Answer

No. Until people start paying attention to offices other than the president, nothing is going to change in a lasting or meaningful way. Yet only about 50% of the eligible population votes in the general election, about half of that vote in midterms, and it's not uncommon for state and city elections to have single digit percentages.

lightbulb27 · Answer

politices = policy... you mean run the country into the ground right? nope.

weve really gone down hill and I don't see getting back up hill no matter the choice as the media dialog is garbage. There's a few I like that are more "reasonable", but they get no presence.

If you don't have a God, I'd find one.

goaded · Answer

No. SCOTUS is a branch of the Republican party because McConnell changed Senate rules about SCOTUS nominees and used every lever of power for power. Then they passed a law that would expire tax cuts for the rich just after the 2024 election, ensuring massive donations to Trump for 2024, because they don't give a damn about you.

paledreams · Answer

Im not American, I'm somewhat satisfied a Democrat is President, though Biden to me is no Leftie sigh, and I'm disappointed by the way the US Fed hasn't cut interest rates. I wonder to myself I I should switch from shares to cash come 1st July lol fearing a stock market crash if those folks aren't gonna cut rates at the late July Fed meeting over there in America, sigh - not another 2008 recession sigh 😬😬😞

exitseven · Answer

No. we have suffered through the worst administration in history. Hopefully things will change soon and the country will have new leadership and a new direction. We will have lower crime, lower gas prices. lower inflation and better polices on illegal immigration , foreign countries and the national debt.

This country really needs the optimism that most people felt just 4 short years ago.

Jersey2 · Answer

No, I am not satisfied.

I think the best way to win back a good Federal government is in the Primary races. We need to oust the incumbents and vote in new leaders who then also change some key laws such as term limits.

New leaders should run on a Term Limits promise of enacting such a Term Limit law but also leaving after 10 years if they don’t get one.

MysticDevice · Answer

No. Politicians are the enemy. This is the Government that the Founding Fathers rebelled against.

Don't be fooled: The government does NOT care about you

They do NOT have your best interests in mind

Your safety is IRRELAVENT to them

Red, Blue, left, right, it doesn't matter. It is the people who want to be left alone versus the people who want to control them.

The struggle for Freedom is unending. Stay vigilant, stay prepared, stay Free.

Anonymous · Answer

The problem with term limits is the party is now in control, not the person who holds office the way it used to be. They don't care who is in the office as long as it's a lock-step member of their own party. Plus the administrative branch runs everything now anyway.

slatyb · Answer

What do you mean? The Republican party has become completely anti-democratic, talking openly about turning the US into a fascist theocracy.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, the majority of politicians are old, set in their ways, with mostly old and outdated ideas. It would be nice to have more younger politicians with fresh new ideas.

MacDaddyRico · Answer

No.

All of our high-level politicians are puppets for their zionist masters.

They killed the only POTUS who threatened to expose them in 1963, and since then every other coward in chief remained complicit in their demands.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Nope. Its why I quit American politics.

Too divisive on almost all topics and the government doesn't care for the common man or woman; its all lip service every 4 years and nothing significant changes for the American people.

Kelley1 · Answer

Of course not but there is nothing I can do about it. Voting changes nothing.

Foolablee · Answer

Hell no. I can't stand politics anymore with how both sides are looking right now.

normalice · Answer

No. Right wing misinformation dominates our media so democracy is pretty much doomed.

worldscolide · Answer

No. If i had a thanos glove i would snap my fingers and turn every single politician in this country to dust.

You MUST be joking!! It hasn't been good here since Joey cheated in the last election!

PA19062024 · Answer

I can't imagine that anyone would be. Satisfied with those two clowns? Is  this  the best the two main parties can come up with?

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Yes I am. Most of our politics are local and while we can still get better the people who represent us do a good job and want to be of service.

DrPepper12 · Answer

No. Our constitution is a suicide pact working precisely as designed.

I have been sick of this shit since the Obama administration.

At least when Trump came in there was some sign of it stopping. Hopefully he gets elected again and finishes off the totalitarian influence our country has taken in.
