They could deport them to Rwanda. That might work

Good news! We’ve found the missing $104,000! It only took us $150,000,000 to do so! The remaining -$149,869,000 is left for you and your future children to pay! Remember, vote Republican so we can continue to fleece you for all that you’re worth!
GOP backs the blue, they support NYPD and wholly endorse thier actions.
Oh buddy, I've got bad news for you, NYC is democrats all the way down.
Democrats run on being better than republicans, that doesn't mean they are good...
I doubt that the cops are generally democrats.
Democrats aren’t republicans.
I don’t like salad but I dislike turd salad even more.
(Don’t actually vote republican unless you enjoy paying more for big government). Democrats actually care about balancing the budget. Republicans are the party of fiscal irresponsibility.
The problem is, not many people grow out of their right-wing childhoods. As the saying goes, once you start earning a paycheck, you start voting democrat!
But it's two turd salads, one has dried grated shit on top and the other is a a soupy liquid mess hardly a salad at all, but that's what it says on the menu.
I'm not saying it's a hard choice, I'm saying that either way it's going to taste like shit...
Yeah I feel like maybe some people are actually confused about my opinion here. I was just hoping to avoid a less scatagorical sentence but you took the wind right out of those sails.
I guess I don’t understand what the point is of saying it’s going to taste like shit? Like, voting for a great president that does everything you want is still going to taste like shit when you get the jury summons or in some states when you have to physically pokemon go to the polls.
edit: This doesn’t mean that I endorse not voting! To be clear, we need to vote.
Where's the great president?
Biden isn't the worst, he's a milquetoast compromiser, minor social programs that don't change the status quo of rising homelessness, out of control rent and home prices, rising medical costs, rising child care costs, rising food costs, raising car costs, rising just living costs.
America is rapidly fraying at the edges and his team are still talking about how good the economy is.
But forget all that, on January 6th America came literally 1 vice president away from a fascist coup and nothing procedurally has changed to stop it from happening again, instead the republicans have spent 4 years learning from their narrow defeat and making steps to ensure that they win next time.
Great leaders solve fundamental issues with their system, not maintain the failing status quo...
I haven’t met one personally. It was more of a hypothetical example. You could ask people and maybe they’d say “carter” but that’s before my era. We’ll probably never see a great ruler because to be truly great, they would need to be loved bipartisanly - I don’t think that’s a standard we’ll be able to hold in our lifetime.
Ok so that’s a +1 for biden. (vs trump, that is)
You’re expecting quite a lot of progress in 4 years, there. It’s an ongoing fight. It will probably take AT LEAST a few more terms and some real change in the midterms to increase the rate of progress.
To quote someone I was just reading:
And that's why I specifically highlighted the potential for an American coup which he and the democrats have fundamentally not addressed, It wouldn't matter if he was the most perfect president ever, without addressing fundamental procedural flaws in how our democracy works there is no point to any of it.
They've let this be memory holed, it was just a bunch of individual idiots and the FBI is catching them, nothing else to see, when there are literal traitors in congress and flaws to exploit.
We are a knifes edge from fascism (if pence had gotten into the car or chosen loyalty to trump we would have fallen already) and the administration has failed to center the fundamental fixes it would take to prevent it from happening again.
So, who should we vote for?
You have no point just useless distraction.
Well if you read the comment thread I think you’ll see that my point has been that it’s kind of stupid to pay $150,000,000 to acquire $104,000. I was using sarcasm to get my point across and encouraging people to vote republican so that they continued to be fleeced. I don’t actually want anyone to vote republican, becuase they only offer facism. But, that’s where we get these stupid policy decisions from - the GOP.
But we didn't, that isn't who is making these choices in NYC. Stop spamming.
I thought the NYPD made the choices. Don’t republicans back the blue?
I’m not spamming. I don’t think you understand what that word means. In the context of lemmy, it would mean repeating the same comment over and over without adding anything else to the conversation. That’s not what I’m doing, as you can see.
