As an American, I don’t feel right asking for forgiveness just yet. We’ve won a major battle but I worry people will take the midterm victory as a conclusion to the MAGA era and disengage, allowing it to take hold again. We’ve got a lot more work to do before we earn any sense of redemption.
Democrats are off to a bad start. Yes, I am aware that the newly elected have yet to take office. Multiple democrats failed to vote for Hegseth’s impeachment, another incumbent says that the old guard are threatening him. If Jeffries remains in place then you know it’s business as usual.
What was the battle we’ve won exactly? Have we arrested any of the monsters running the government? Established free healthcare? Constitutionally guaranteed access to housing?
Or do you mean a slightly different neoliberal party won an election? If so I’d love to hear how that’s a “major victory” in itself.
The „checks and balances“ need reforming to actually resist capitulation to the executive branch. Most monarchs throughout history have had less power than Trump has been granted.
IMHO as an outsider, repealing Citizens United would be a step in the right direction, as would enforcing the requirement for Congress to declare war, not the President. In fact, generally curtailing presidential powers would be beneficial IMO.
I’m curious what others, especially Americans, would suggest.

…I mean at least the Zionist took his whole fucking mask off.
Absolutely. It’s nice to know where everybody stands.

In normal times, congress would limit the president’s powers, but the republican congress decided to let Trump have his way, with disastrous results.
Yup. We can’t repeat the arrogant mistakes of James Carville.
