Yep, an evil ideology that values death more than life and has no problem sacrificing its own people. It's sole goal is to eliminate all infidels. I always get a good chuckle when I see those "Coexist" bumper stickers with the star and crescent. It's like putting a "I'm stupid" sticker on your car.

You are confusing a religion with an ideology. Religion is often used as a crutch in an attempt to bolster the image of the power hungry, as the revolutionary guard do. They aren’t Islam as Netanyahu isn’t Judaism and as the new Christian evangelist are not Christianity.

I recall that Espola considered Biden to be a moderate. He was fooled. Biden was progressive Trojan horse, actually that gives him too much credit. He was a just an empty suit, that did, or more accurately, didn't do as he was told by the progressive wing of his party.

Remember as well that Whatithink, and many other voters, were fooled into believing the Spanberger was a moderate as well. To his credit, at least Mamdani never pretended to be anything other than a socialist.

And you see Trump as a “conservative”. Biden was next in line (right or wrong that’s how democrats do things) and yeah he beat Trump by a far larger margin than trumps slim victory over Kamala. In the end the wealthy always win in our system and they aren’t concerned with the plight of America or its people. We are a crumbling nation. Trump is just getting what he can before it’s all over. America is up for sale, our government, our resources, even our children and young girls are abused by the powerful without consequence.

Given his performance in his first term, "anyone but t" was (and still is) a valid political position.

Biden's accomplishments (according to Google AI) --

• Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: Invested in roads, bridges, rail, and internet across all 50 states.
• Inflation Reduction Act (2022): Largest climate investment in U.S. history; allowed Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, capping insulin at \(\$35\) for seniors.
• CHIPS and Science Act: Boosted domestic semiconductor manufacturing and research.
• American Rescue Plan (2021): Provided pandemic relief, including stimulus checks and unemployment benefits
• Bipartisan Safer Communities Act: Signed the most significant gun-safety legislation in decades.

Where are the negatives?! I'll wait.

At this point the more relevant discussion is all the detrimental things Trump is doing ax opposed to, what? Tightening the border up? Beyond that is cruelty for the sake of cruelty, grift beyond the imagination, an apparent effort to undermine all US influence worldwide coupled with a global attack on democracy (Trump is giving away the farm/art of the deal).

Thanks for proving my point. No real answer...just sidestep the question. Way to circle back there Peppermint Patty. Or is it KJP?

There’s no machine it’s simply the western democratic alliance. So are we now being drawn in by the power of authoritarian dictatorship? Is that the future you wish to see the US moving away from the free world to align with human rights abusing regimes?

Thatʻs “machine” talk.
