About 53 in the senate, right now.
Or a whole generation telling their kids "Don't worry about politics, focus on yourself" as they vote for more oligarchy. Thanks, boomers.
Republicans/big business have been trying to install a fascist regime since 1933 when Smedley Butler shut the coup down down.

Harris actually got more votes than Biden in most of the key swing states. Can we stop this narrative of blaming anyone other than the tens of millions that actually picked Trump?
Nope. Because I do blame the third party / uncommitted crowd for sowing division, doubt, and getting in the way. We were in a burning building, and those groups were blocking the fire exits.
You're a sucker, blame anyone except the billionaires who have bought democrats and repubs alike to get us here. If you can look at the fact that we produce enough to feed 10 billion people yet people still starve, or that there is £36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens as of 2016 but can't afford basic needs for people, but it's people who voted against genocide is the problem?
Right, cause without them there would have been no doubt in the democrats, surely.

The stick was actually running a soft right democrat to combat a far right candidate, the gag is blaming voters.
The stick was not seeing (or even acknowledging the existence of) the bigger picture.
Well, the bigger picture in my comment is that the Democratic party will rip their nose off if it means not running a progressive candidate willing to stand firm in their progressive stances, and that choice between a soft right candidate and a far right candidate is like choosing between a piece of chocolate or the whole bar. What bigger picture are you referring to?
[Gestures vaguely at goddamned everything] for starters.
She might not give us all ponies and blowjobs, but literally none of this dystopian nightmare would be happening under Harris.

Ah yes, the "everything is just fine just look at this graph" picture
And before anyone says anything: I voted for Harris. Just like I voted for Biden and Clinton and Obama and Obama and Kerry and Gore. The only ones of those who actually got into office were the ones telling us things would change.
Don't be mad that they ran a shitty campaign to convince a populous with a sixth grade reading level and defunded civics classes to figure out how to vote.

How cute, OP thinks the US has been a democracy for the last 250 years.
we had a good run
Did you, though?
The rich guys did, it's even getting better for them.
"unelected"
he got up to stage and said he bought the fascist candidate. lots of people saw that and said "that's OK, I'll still vote red" and even more people saw that and said "that's OK, I'll still not vote". around 160 million people saw this and were OK with it. yeah he wasn't elected, but the "dictator on day one" was.
This right here.
They had a website for two years with a detailed plan. Project 2025 was widely known an people either voted for it or stayed at home. The dildo of consequences, as they say...
democracy
Looks inside
oligarchy
And completely broken and idiotic and easily manipulated voting system.
It's almost as though the oligarchs could afford the best lawyers and judges to write up "democratic" laws that favor them, would certainly explain everything dems/repubs have been working together to do for 50+ years while boomers are all like "Nothing to see here, too busy focusing on myself."
"Democracy"
Democracy
Looks inside
Constitution written exclusively to protect monopoly business interests and prevent a monarchy
seems legit lol

People who believe in 250 years of democracy enable systemic racism, patriarchy, etc.
Libs, please grow up.
Democracy is when you prohibit everybody but voting except rich white slave owners!
Reminder that our founding fathers broke off because of "taxation without representation" but then denied representation for most Americans.
Women? "No say." Black people? "Wait those are people?" Native Americans? "Sure they were here first but I have money." Immigrants? "Why would I support new comers to this land my family has been here for 30 years!"
We didn't even used to vote for our senators, they were voted in by the state legislator, which you could vote for if your state allowed your kind to vote, but most places only allowed for certain people to vote.
America pretends it was a democracy, when Musk and Trump just show it was all a show and it could be toppled over at any point. Most of the laws in place for offices of power were just codes of ethics with no punishment for violation. If you did break a law, the president has never really been checked, so just break more as they figure out what to do.

Lol the democracy part didn't even start until 1965.
Even then, its more like Democracy Lite™.
The average age of an empire is 250 years, now were going to find out what's going to replace it.

Democracy must be fragile af if this is all it takes to topple it
Most good things are fragile. And with most things it just takes a few assholes to ruin it.
Democracy resisted for quite some time despite glaring problems.
See the Business Plot of 1933 that was undermined by a Medal of Honor-recipient and Major General, Smedley Butler whom they tried to recruit for the coup.

I'll be polite. That's not an accurate repository of those 250 years; the second part us alright.
A good run? 2 years of actually peace since the us existenz is your benchmark for a good run?
