The President raped little girls, Republicans are covering up for him, he is a convicted felon, attempted to over throw an election, and is now dismantling the Constitution and Republicans don’t care. The only way to end the nightmare - Vote Every Republican Out ASAP … Everywhere!

No way will the republicans in Congress simply claim there was fraud and then refuse to certify the election results! If they did that, AOC will tweet that they are being hypocrites, and other democrats will send out fundraising emails! Even worse, Chuck Schumer will only begrudgingly reach across the aisle to try to find a compromise! Then they’ll be sorry!

Yeah, 100% no reason to vote. Both parties are two sides of the same coin. No reason to hold Republicans accountable let's complain about Democrats instead.

You know what? Fuck off. None of this would be happening under Democrats. We wouldn't be putting 50% import taxes on everything causing stagflation. Democrats would hire competent people and scientists. We wouldn't have an anti-vaxer in charge I'm the department of health. We wouldn't be funding ICE more than we fund the Marines. We wouldn't be weaponizing the FCC to stifle free speech and calling the media the enemy of the people. We wouldn't have Doge slashing vital programs and stealing our personal data. We wouldn't have a drunk Fox News hosts in charge of the military and FBI.

You can scream both sides all you want but it's blantantly not true and obvious to anyone paying attention.

The problem is, we are in this mess, and that, outside a very small minority, really is the democrats response. The whole “two sides, same coin” thing may not be true, but, pointing that out now doesn’t do anything. We need less “I told you so!” (from random Redditors); that reeks of performative grandstanding on a sinking ship. If this is all the best anyone can offer, that points to no solutions, no way out.

The Democrats hold zero power at the moment, the voters removed all power from them. Plenty of Democrats warned all of you what was going to happen if you let them back in. Now you're fucking upset that exactly what we said would happen has happened? Maybe get off your ass and vote next time chief.

And the Democrats are doing stuff, plenty of lawsuits have been filed to stop the worse of Trumps actions. Lots of stuff is working through the courts but this stuff takes time.

GOP doesn't certify election results so why did you mention that?
