Included this as an edit to my comment above instead.

Country of sycophants.

Edit:
To those that downvote, this is not just the officer, it is also his colleagues that URGED the ambulance to take the officer instead. And finally the ambulance people should CLEARLY have deemed it more important to take the gunshot victim, which the ambulance was called for! This makes it a bad decission not by 1 person, but by at least 5 people who agreed on this insane unprofessional decision all around.

But this anecdote is of course not the reason for my comment, it is everything about American society, American society is based on psychopathy, which is the reason Trump was able to win twice. How could Trump win the election twice unless people were fine with his obvious malignant narcissism.
And if you say it isn’t obvious, it’s because you suffer the same problem. Because IT IS FUCKING OBVIOUS to any normal person.

I suspect so, half is only what is official and that we know of, but those assholes are infamous for hiding wealth in tax shelters.

Is the national average negative?

Maybe if you exclude the 1%, who probably hold half the retirement savings, but obviously are vastly in plus on the total.

Thanks, excellent perspective. 👍

You are changing the subject from that progressive candidates can’t get funding. They can.

IDK who that is, but I’ve used that username online for more than 20 years.

Thanks. I have edited my post to include the Epstein files. Yes I’ve seen surveys that give him 40+% approval. I wrote 30% because that we know for sure AFAIK.

You are changing the subject, Obama did NOT have to bend the knee, but I agree the existence of billionaires is contrary to the ideals of democracy.

This is what you wrote:

You can’t get funding for progressive candidates because the system is designed to ensure anyone who would side with workers over the rich can’t win.

And that is simply not true, Obama was elected by a majority of small donations.
Bernie could have run for president if he hadn’t been stopped by the undemocratic elections system in the democratic party.

I refrained from answering that part of your post because it doesn’t identify the real problem.
There is also a good chance ANY candidate gets money from billionaires because they often support both sides.

You are just making excuses for yourself to do nothing.

I see a fascist coup.

Which he also tried in January 2021.
The only reason they don’t understand the problem of electing a malignant narcissist is that they have a similar problem themselves.
Pure and simple no buts or ifs, the Americans elected an obvious malignant narcissist TWICE!! Even after he tried a coup!!!

What part of the word insane is it you don’t understand?

There would have to be a progressive that was running.

Get into the party and help make it happen.
They are there, they just don’t have the support they need.

Edit:
Bernie, AOC, Omar, don’t tell me they are the only ones in a country of 300 million.
But if people don’t engage, nothing happens, just like nothing has happened since the 70’s to improve democracy in USA, but it on the contrary has gotten worse!
Not engaging leaves the power with the 1%, so blame yourself and your fellow Americans.

The number of insane people in the American government is insane, and that the American people elected it is equally insane.

You see the connection there?

Cold fusion is bullshit. There are no ifs or buts about it. It is purely bullshit.

At this point Netanyahu and Trump should both be wanted criminals around the world, along with their military leaders for crimes against humanity.

If Iran can provoke Trump to put boots on the ground, Iran has practically won.

I wouldn’t be surprised, also the rising oil prices help his friend Putin.

No reason except for Trump it’s a HUGE reason if he can destroy anything Obama did.

Sad part is that is how lots of Americans think.

Yes if Trump still has 41% support, there must be A LOT of Americans that think like that.
Here we call thinking like that being insane. In USA it’s called being right wing.

Bernie Sanders would have been a mess. He would probably increase minimum wage, introduce healthcare for all, making a nuclear deal with Iran, and call Russia the enemy again, and secure relations with all US allies.

All those things are anti American now. The new America is opposite America. Try to keep up!
