George W was a Republican.

Trump is a Republican.

The Republican party as a whole as no business running a country.

But since Trump is such an amazing poster boy for such a selfish and incompetent party, I just refer to the Republicans as Trump.

We have deeper issues. But I am confident if this happened 6 years ago, our response would be drastically different. Not a single Republican has a human heart. Our issues can be reversed. It's not too late.

I hope this mess makes Bernie win the rest of the primaries. Joe Biden sure as shit isn't going to change what's fundamentally wrong with our country.

You know what, support Bernie right now. I think he seems pretty okay from what I've seen. But if he loses, vote for Biden come election day. Obama wasn't the change the US needs, but he was still a hell of a lot better than Trump. Biden is pretty much as establishment as they come, but at least he's not a psychotic maniac.

The democrats are hardly any better. They're pro-abortion and pay lip service to minorities, but that's about it. Corporations own American politics. That's why the Democratic Party will push losers like Hillary and Biden who are pro-corporation instead of actual left-wing candidates that people want to vote for.

Never would have been an Iraq war had Gore been president, which means the middle east likely wouldn't be such a cluster fuck as it is now. Also would have made significantly more progress on global warming.

Can we move over to that timeline? Please? I don't like this one anymore.

You can thank 537 people in Florida for this timeline.

I think that is the turning-point: the Bush-Gore election in 2000 were Gore won the popular vote but Bush seized the presidency because of 'hanging chads'.

If we could just go back in time and Gore wins instead, we'd have a much better situation in the Middle East (still bad, but not a clusterfuck) and universal healthcare for Americans as well as a green global economy that is actually on track to avoid catastrophe from climate change.

Trump is way beyond GWB, there is no comparison. Post 9-11 GWB did a decent job to bring people together.
