it just seems like it never gets any better. All I want is a job that pays me enough to live with a straight seven in the morning until 4:00 or 5:00 in the evening Monday through Friday schedule.
I just want an honest days pay for an honest day's work. I mean there are jobs out there like that, but when they advertise, my application is getting drowned out in the stack of like 200 other people who are competing for the same damn role. when the hell is the economy going to get better so I could finally get my damn foot in the door? how the hell am I supposed to buy a house when most jobs don't even pay enough to cover rent for a one bedroom apartment? when are we going to get those manufacturing jobs back and transition out of this stupid fucking low-wage service economy? I just keep seeing things getting more and more expensive and I really don't give a shit about all this political fucking theater when at the end of the day I'm still getting squeezed just as hard as I was under Joe Biden.
I'm not certain I follow you. We already have control of the House, the Senate, and the Oval Office. What do you think is going to happen with the elections that suddenly unblocks policy change?
Republicans have the Senate, conservatives and MAGA apparently(considering they have not passed any conservative policy and have been blocking most of Trump's appointments) does not. We only have the Oval Office and Trump is concerning himself with foreign policy matters.
As far as elections go, we need to oust enough of the swampy Republicans in primaries to put fear into them, and probably get state legislatures to pass anti-corruption legislation at the state level.
If we Democrats gain the house, our best bet long term is if Trump vetoes nearly every funding bill to remove the incentive for corruption, but that will hurt short term, and so Trump probably won't do it.
That's the issue, though. It's tough to tell which Republicans are actually RINOs until they're in office. We can easily be voting out swampy Republicans just to be voting in even swampier replacements.
You can't get someone decent unless you take the chance, and at least the new person will know they can be ousted.
The old person knew they could be ousted as well. Knowing they can be ousted doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent, looking at all the RINOs we have in office.
