In his address to Congress, President Trump ignored the concerns of working people and boasted about his billionaire-run government. In a response, Bernie Sanders says while the fight for a progressive future may feel hopeless, “despair is not an option.”

    My colleague here in Australia just referred to the US as “Occupied States of America” and that is legit how it feels right now. Occupied by a hostile foreign power.

    I countered with Vichy States but it’s less catchy.

        I started writing all the very clear ways Trump has been working for Russia and then I realized, you don’t give a shit. There is literally nothing that will get you to stop sucking Trumpy’s mushroom cock. He could go full mask off today and state “I fully support Putin and want to destroy the US” and you would just go “I LOVE RUSSIA NOW! AMERICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN TERRIBLE!” like a good little bitch.

    It’s funny how much the supposedly leftist tankies hate Bernie/AOC/Omar/etc.

    He knows what needs to happen, but it’s a hard sell to get the population up and moving when most are just trying not to starve these days.

      I like how you’re singling out the only outspoken Dems out there. And on top of that you blame the democratic voters wholesale for what the republicans did. Interesting behavior, huh. lol
