A nation that knowingly reelects an insurectionist, a pathological liar, a rapist, a malignant narcissist, an authoritarian, and a pathetic human form to the presidency is indeed a nation in deep ethical and moral decline. The party of family values is far from what it likes to tell itself. It is, the exact opposite.

Shaw... I fixed it for you.

Arresting an Olympian for touching the peeling liner of the reflecting pool before arresting anyone mentioned in the Epstein Files for touching underage girls captures where we're at in the US right now.

Before we get too far and the trolls start...

The Dem Socialist who won the primary in New York this week, Darializa Avila Chevalier, is beyond the pale. I do not support her, don't know anyone, even among my most left leaning friends, who support her and I believe she will be bad for Dem party.

She does not speak for Democratic Party.

She speaks for her campaign, period. But unless and until the Dem party leaders condemn her views, the reality is their silence will speak volumes and signal a desire to win over keeping the fringe out of office. Just as the GOP has done for years.

Now, this would be my price of admission into a discussion of her and her views.

If as a troll, a GOP partisan or MAGA supporter, you have remained silent while the GOP has gone off the rails, you should just shut up. You have no credibility.

Whether someone agrees with Darializa Avila Chevalier or not, thinks she's horrible or not, believes her tweets from years ago are relevant or not, these are not the issues.

The issue is intellectual honesty and consistency.

And remaining silent and approving while the MAGA world has upset the applecart of norms for years, and now being upset by the same behavior on the left strikes me as disingenuous.

So let me say it again... I'm not a fan of Darializa Avila Chevalier, her views or her unwillingness to explain her positions. I think it's bad for New York and bad for the US. But until I hear any of you trolls, anon commenters and MAGA supporters say the same about not just President Trump, but the lickspittle GOP Congress too, you need to shut up!

Essentially, the present democratic party with its current ineffective leadership is nothing i can wholeheartedl6 support.

So, again it will be a vote for the lesser of two evils. The party, forgive my directness ha no balls. They're republican light with their support if the capital class.
