Democrats can't even manage their own lives. That's why they fantasize about the government running their lives for them. But then democrats get control and mess their lives up even more, and the doom and gloom sets in, because they realize they really are on their own.

Is it any wonder they might lose control of the California Governor's seat?

I feel like Dems are awful operators. It's all aspirations and lofty goals, and no concept of reality, and especially no ability to execute plans.

Seems like it's gotten much worse, they seemed to be better at running things in the Clinton and Obama days. Now they run from challenges instead of confronting them. Just wonder who will suffer next from their incompetence.
No where..not one darn place.

The sad thing is that modern Republicans are just Democrat lite.

To be fair, Democrats have their plates full just trying to coordinate with CNN, Google, Twitter, YouTube, the NFL, NBA, Goldman-Sachs, Coca-Cola, Disney, politicized government agencies, foreign spies, sponging billionaires, the CCP and flip-flopping virologists.

The good news is Hunter is selling his "art" to anonymous buyers for hundreds of thousands of dollars, so even if free speech is effectively non-existent and international corporations that suck China's **** have taken sides in the political discourse of the day, that's OK because a drug addict that had to have the concept of blackmail explained to him by a prostitute can still make a killing in the art world.

This democrat destruction of our country, our cities, our education system, our culture has been going on for decades now.
Were you onlylistening to the liberal MSM all these years??
But kudos for you seeing it all now!


I'm starting to feel like maybe this Biden guy isn't that great.....

If only he'd left us like 50 years worth of clues or something..

About the only thing Dems are good at is destroying things. They've managed to destroy the traditional nuclear family (deemed sexist/oppressive/patriarchal), free speech, religion and Christian values (deemed too oppressive by the "woke" left), cities (NYC/Chicago/LA/SF), states (IL, CA, NY are ticking pension time bombs), pride in America, and now the military with the Afghanistan debacle.

If you're a Dem, ask yourself honestly: are these guys any good for you? Your family? The country? This is pathetic.

An old hippie, Mark Rudd, said it best in the late '60s after the Weather Underground riots, "We were really good at tearing things down and sticking it to the Man. But when it came to building something truly sustainable, we failed miserably."

They're still legends in their own minds.

Today, more Americans have NO healthcare insurance than during Obamacares apex...and costs have risen...total disaster.

Obama killed Bin Laden, but besides that, he was a disasater.

Clinton raided the social security "lockbox" to balance the budget, & social security has been a Ponzi scheme ever since.

The Obamacare website's final cost I believe hovered near $1billion, and it was a complete disaster. As always, everything Obama touched turned to turd. He's inept, but the creepers in Hollywood love him, which probably says more about him than it does about them.

He was famous for telling The Lie of the Year, the poorly-conceived (just like he was) "Iff'n you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Everything about the product that is Obamacare was as disastrous as the website rollout.

But, you can't expect much from a guy who really never held a job in his life.

That's likely not far from the truth. MA voters, while stupid, are not TOTALLY stupid. They've had as many losers running that state as the Kennedy family has had corpses.

Not a big fan of either party but this is untrue. Republicans generally are opposed to a lot things the DNC stands for. Now, if you're saying Republicans today aren't as fiscally and economically conservative as those in the past, I'd totally agree but calling them "Democrat lite" because of that is kind of disingenuous.

Tulsi Gabbard fits the "Democrat lite" profile more than most prominent GOP politicians today.
