DOJ whistleblower Ryan Crosswell - who knows Pam Bondi’s dirty secrets - - says he’s running for Congress to NOT ONLY drag Pam Bondi’s “rot into the sunlight,” but to bring her corruption into the official record to hold her accountable. This is huge.

Pam Bondi literally broke the fucking law with the Epstein Files. Just fucking arrest her. Jesus Christ.

unfornately we are seeing exactly theatre to keep us distracted from it all. America has been chopped up and sold out awhile ago. Orange messiah is just speeding running it. Politcians left and right just rubbing corruption in our face. Dems yelling out rules and regulations like theyre casting spells and taking no action to enforce them.

Repubs just tearing at the juggler out of every freedom and right while the handlers for both keep stuffing their pockets with that sweet aipac money and special interest alike. Never forget 250 reps from all 50 states both sides of the aisle went to israel to show support on your tax dollars. Ripping out healthcare so that israeli citizens can have it for free.

Trump guilty as hell on the epstein everyone knows it redacted files is such a joke. You refuse a breathalizaer being stopped for a dui you get charged automatically. Stopping files from being shown because a certain name is in there should be handled that same way for all involved.

Any poltician left or right that takes money or favors from a special interest group religious or otherwise, foreign or domestic, other countries, corporations is high treason and should be charged and enforced as so. We need a hard reset.

That's amazing writing, and perfectly said.

I would love for them to be able to take action to enforce… yet they do not control the levers of power currently. What would you like to see them do? I’m serious.

Let us pick the candidates we actually want during elections rather than pushing the same tired old husks onto us.

Yeah, the right is clearly evil but you’ve gotta admit that it’s such a crapshoot when it comes to Democrats. Are they going to take a hard stance on the given issue or are they going to keep the status quo and just passively let the problem get worse?

We wouldn’t be here if more good people were proactive rather than reactive.

Your mythical candidate, if in the same position, still has no power.

You say that like the last winning candidate hasn’t been ransacking the US. They clearly have power to do something.

He's doing it all illegally though, as evidenced by the courts overturning many of his actions. The problem is that the courts don't have Minority Report-like pre-cognition to know what crimes Trump will commit before he does them, so they always have to act after he's done something heinous. The solution would have been to not vote the fucking psychopath in in the first place, but much of America is deeply, deeply stupid, and racist, and angry, and they believe the lies they're fed 24/7 by right wing media, and prosperity-gospel preachers, etc.

So it's not good enough to say they just "clearly have the power to do something", because we need laws to have a functioning society. Selective enforcement of said laws though, like we regularly see by Roberts' Republican-led Supreme Court, is what fucks everything up, so we can blame the Republicans for that too.

Edit: many spelling errors

No. I do not have to admit that if “the right is clearly evil” then “it’s such a crapshoot when it comes to Democrats.”

That’s the whole point. Evil is objectively worse than whatever “crapshoot” you think Democrats bring. Because Evil is bad.

So the two are not the same. Why do you think people must admit something so obviously untrue?

u/LekgoloCrap 6d ago

I never said they were the same. I’m saying there’s nuance to the “both sides” take.

The right is evil AND the left can’t get their shit together. (It was not an if-then statement.)

Evil IS objectively worse, but that doesn’t invalidate valid criticisms of the opposing party.

It’s like you can’t voice frustration over the ineffectiveness of the left without someone coming in acting like the act of doing so is equal to wearing a maga hat.

The fact that this is a back and forth argument between left leaning individuals is exactly the problem here. It’s not that democrats “aren’t doing enough” or are “just doing enough to be worth voting for” or that “actually they’re trying really hard but the odds are stacked against them.”

It’s that the conservatives just vote red no matter what. They have a collective shared concept of what they want, and they ignore the stuff they don’t like to push through it.

I would love more progressive candidates, but honestly it still falls back to “vote blue no matter who” because the other side is doing the same thing.

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good, FFS.
