How the hell does this POS keep getting re-elected?

We all knew this. Just like the opening of schools. Biden even made an ad about this. Everyone on the left was bashing Trump for not opening schools. Now, they are all for it.

It's just the political game. You have a lot of people who actually THINK Biden is truthful because he speaks nicer. He's not, he's trying to win and if you aren't cheating you aren't trying.

Everything this Lin Wood guy does would lead me to think he's a democratic plant working to reduce GOP turnout in the runoffs. He's one of Rittenhouse's lawyers though so I can't buy that.

It's almost like certain industries get benefits that other industries do not. You know, like everywhere.

I appreciate her passion, and I've actually been to her restaurant, but at the end of the day...the film industry drives LA's economy, not her restaurant.

It's a brutal truth that adults often face, someone and/or something is often more important than you.

Somewhere, there's a great "life's not fair" meme that a lesser person would post.

I thought these Lincoln Project clowns were Republicans who were never Trumpers?

I get how they wanted to defeat Trump, but how does rejecting Republicans in the GA run-off help traditional American values?

I get what you are saying, such as a large company getting a better price on widgets because they purchase in greater quantity.

But, here we are talking about about a total shutdown due to health and safety, while others carry on.

The livelihoods of the affected people and their families is not one in the same with this hypocrisy.

Simple. McConnell's obstructionist agenda isn't American, it is purely partisan and detrimental to the healthy functioning of government in this country. As long as McConnell heads the Senate nothing gets done unless it fits his very narrow and perverse agenda to serve his corporate butt buddies, lobbyists, and big donors. If the two GOP candidates in the Georgia runoffs lose, McConnell's influence is greatly diminished.

The film industry and productions have a whole slew of protective measures in place. Certain groups on set at certain times, etc.

This is not like a bunch of randoms eating at a restaurant.

Now, that said, I think that banning outdoor seating at restaurants isn't wise, but the logic is to keep unrelated parties away from each other. Sound logic? Eh...

Now, just spitballing here, but maybe restaurant patrons should form a union, and have universal guidelines to adhere to so that they may eat in restaurants again.

Kinda like Skeletor and the dems in the house blocking everything because they hate Trump?

If Americans want to embrace democratic socialism that's fine, it is a democracy. But, when a group masks itself as concerned republicans and then urges followers to not vote for republicans in the senate runoff with so much at stake. I am not sure they are really republicans.

I'd like to see more people going against their party at times. Partisanship kills progress, and these days voting against one's party is such an unforgivable crime in the eyes of many that the only politicians that can do it are retiring after their term. It's as if two or three people run everything and the other 500+ Congresspersons are useless window dressing.

Nasty Nancy and Moscow Mitch are both ruining democracy with their antics. It's pretty sad. The Founding Fathers saw this coming but unfortunately had no ideas if how to prevent it. Ugh.

Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with people challenging leadership relating to the direction of a party.

However, there is a lot at stake with the GA run off. It is not about the party, but the future of America.

Pelosi is a piece of garbage as well. But no one has done more to impede legislation in bad faith in this country in the past 12 years than McConnell, it's not even close.

As for political parties, they all stink. It seems as though you can't be a politician in this country unless you are a hypocritical liar bent on serving your donors and lobbyists at the expense of the citizenry...all this was only further exacerbated by the ruling in Citizens United.

Agreed.

We need to go back to the days of rivals, not enemies.

It won't happen anytime soon, but it's a nice pipedream.

No debate regarding politicians, but sometimes we have to swallow hard and vote on principles.

I am intrigued by what is going on down there, obviously my opinion doesn't hold any weight. At the same time, if I am honest with myself, I understand the effect the US has on Western society.

I am not familiar with the Citizens United ruling and will look it up. Thanks.

Kind of like a 4 year Russian collusion probe obstruction, right?

Do you work for the film industry or just blowing smoke making excuses for the inexcusable?

Actually the vast majority of people I meet and know are reasonable and respect the views of all people, regardless of how they vote. Both conservative and liberal.
The media promotes divisiveness and the message board warriors on both sides are gullible fools to actually support our corrupt and inept parties. But ignorant voices are always the loudest and most inflammatory. It makes for great YouTube clips. I truly believe the vast majority of Americans know that issues should be considered individually not part of a pre selected “platform” where any dissent is treated as treason to their “cause”.

[Astros19]

I'm not sure which annoy me more, Republicans, Democrats, or those who claim to be neither and claim moral superiority.
