Fuck seditious fascists.

While Bob may not have a direct connection i can think of to the current breed of republican crazies we see today, he is however willingly part of the fascist party.

I cannot in good conscience vote for any candidate in any office who willingly supports the republican party in its current state.

Seriously. Another Republican that doesn't have any policy, just bashes the opposition, is another Republican in office that either will cheer on the Maga lunacy or at the least excuse it. CT already has it's fair share of politicians that sound like they get their talking points from anonymous message boards

This type of rhetoric is exactly what you claim to argue against. The self unawareness is baffling.

All of the very real evidence that has come out of the January 6th hearings; The current republican leadership who is tearing down the constitution; the idiot representatives and candidates who have no business in politics, barely being a janitor. The overall open indifference or even reverence for an attempted coup on the United states. And that is the MAJORITY of the GOP.

The democrats are attempting to assign responsibility and pass judgement on a crime we all watched happen. We are railing against the absolute barrage of lies that republicans spew. On top of that we have already had two republicans in disguise who stonewalled our party this last term. We also had supreme court judges who either are openly bias; unqualified, married to a seditionist, or accused of multiple sexual crimes where the investigation was recently described as a sham.

There are two very different sides; and the side who is on the right side of history....is the left.

Ok, i hope that helps you sleep at night knowing the party you appear to support attempted to overthrow the very country that party claims to defend. I sleep fine knowing Democrats are at least attempting to put those criminals in prison.

I don’t support either party anymore for this reason. The radical mentality on both sides which you are contributing to is going to be what destroys this country.

Apparently radical is defined by

Trying to make healthcare available to all

Trying to make critical drugs affordable (blocked by gop)

Trying to reduce gas and oil prices (blocked by gop)

Trying to tax the ultra wealthy at a more appropriate level (blocked by gop)

Trying to push green energy to make us less reliant on fossil fuels.

And generally trying to act like a first world, civilized nation.

For starters, legislation can't override scarcity and the other basic laws of economics.

You want to reduce the price of oil and gas? Allow more drilling -- greater supply, generally speaking, leads to lower prices. When Biden shut down certain auctions for petroleum rights, he created the perception that he was against oil, which rattled the markets, leading to a spike in the price of crude oil, which lead to a spike in gasoline prices.

Healthcare, being a complex "system" (I use quotes, mainly because the US healthcare system isn't a system, it is more like a quilt...), getting the government out of the business of insurance would be a good start. Medicare regulations, due mainly to the law of unintended consequences, artificially hiked health care costs, screwing the uninsured and the private payor. To give an example, every hospital that participates in the Medicare program is required, by law, to have a single rate for each and every procedure they perform. They also not permitted to offer discounts to private payers for paying cash. They are permitted, however, to offer "contractual allowances" to insurance companies and are required to give the best of those rates to the government. Combine that with the history of insurance in America, and you have a real problem. People stopped looking at their medical bills back in the Sixties and matters have only gotten worse since then.

Why didn't the Democrats correct the taxes when they controlled the House and the Senate and the Presidency under Obama? They had the votes to do so and chose not to, mainly because a politician first concern is getting elected and their second one is getting re-elected.

The simplest way to do most of the above is to get government out of the way of most things,

No sir, don’t backpedal like that. If you’re engaging in aggressive, divisive, and/or violent “us vs them” rhetoric and sweeping generalizations, you’re very much radical in my opinion.

I didn't backpedal anything. Please explain to me.

What is the most radical thing that democrats are doing. Specifically

Then tell me the most radical thing republicans are doing. There are a lot, so feel free to list a few.
