    Team blue foolishly tried to govern in good faith. Meanwhile team obstruction are done now blocking supreme court nominations and bipartisan legislation, and are completing their metamorphosis from obstruction to plain old destruction. The slowest, most blatant coup in history and somehow no one was particularly interested in stopping it. With all the immigrants in concentration camps, storms and natural disasters spiralling out of control, sweetheart deals for iron fisted billionaires and the unraveling of public health, education, and runaway inflation, who will the scapegoat be when they control all three branches of government?

      I voted for Harris out of harm reduction, but let’s not pretend both parties taking the corporate bribe money from wall street, and only fighting about how to address, if at all, the symptoms of our crony market capitalist economy leaves any room for good faith.

      Anyone governing a people in good faith would protect the relatively powerless people from the whims and greed of the powerful capitalists and corporations. Both modern parties do the opposite and take the bribes.

      This is America, we haven’t dabbled in such things since FDR.

      They weren’t trying to government in good faith. Harris’ own advisers advised against welcoming other war criminals into the fold, pushing to the right, and touring with someone that voted with Trump 75% of the time.

      Again liberals hubris and arrogance caused them to lose.
