    They’ll lose anyway. They always do.

    In USA, we have a tag-team political system also known as “good cop/bad cop”; both using the other to blame their many failures on. It’s very important that they lose every four to eight years (at maximum) to maintain plausible deniability.

    There is some good-natured competition here and there, they are not the same, but they are both anti-union and pro-corporation.

    Wait and see

      The vote histories show a very clear line of separation of good and evil. Things are as bad as they are now because the USA has had 48 or less DNC senators for over 13 years and counting.

      Do you really believe that Obama would have invaded Iraq after 9/11, that Biden would be attacking Iran, tariffing every country, and refusing to aid Ukraine? If so, you’re a fool of the highest order.

      Kamala Harris’ plan to tax the rich would have been a huge turning point towards real progress in the USA.

        don’t forget trump one got rid of people who where in china looking for zoonotic viruses. Like the last one literally was pulled october or november 2019 it was nuts. also the clinton administration was well awar of al kaheida and was trying to get bush to pay attention but bush/cheney felt there was no reason to take anything the outgoing administration said seriously. It was like the start of the repulbican not doing diligence with presidential turnovers. trump moving it to both outgoing and incoming.
