Is anyone running anything anymore? Is this what the Articles of Confederation was like? I can't remember living in a time when the US government was this ineffective and ambivalent about citizens' needs. Anyway, I have varying thoughts:
I doubt I'm the only person getting multiple emails from progressive PACs and Democratic candidates. The Democratic party is far more dependent on grass-roots donations than the comparatively wealthy GOP. If people can afford only basic essentials (if that) then they can't donate to Democrats, and the GOP is largely to blame for maintaining inflation. I'd throw whatever I'd have at the Dems if they had a clear agenda, too.
With that said, Trump is so unpopular right now that Gallup Poll has stopped keeping track. His approval rating is so low, his most ardent supporters can count with their remaining toes. His State of the Union had to be flawless, but instead it was the usual boasting and rambling. And then, like a wannabe Ottoman sultan, he and his penchant for gold decorations went to war with Persia. Nothing to see here.
