MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 08/10/2026When the Kennedy Dems switched to Reagan Republicans...Tom is right the Democrats started to focus more on cultural issues. But part of the blame goes with the rise of Falwell and " the moral majority". People were sucked into wedge issue politics. 020
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Exactly....Democrats tend to fear things that never come to pass. Even pro Democratic internet groups tend to use fear in attempts to motivate but from past elections it seems to do the opposite and discourages voting. Positivity guides people better. 010

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy. 28756204
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Oh here we go with the contrived "horserace" polls...media falling right in line. A load of horseshit. 000
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's depressing. The bases I worked at and was stationed at in Butzbach, Friedberg and Kirchgoens are all gone. The Elvis Presley mess hall is gone. Sad. 010
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Not really look at the Rep who just said he was wrong about immigration. When they lose badly in the midterms their spines will stiffen. Look at Dems after Reagan they became neoliberal conservative. 101

MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 19/09/2026"Russia won" but your allowed to make money off of it by publishing a book on how it was done. Doesn't Putin frown upon dissenters ? Im beginning to think the grift thing is two sided. 000
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 19/09/2026What did Russia win and if they did why are you allowed to publish dissenting materials ? Makes no sense to me. 000
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The 25th requires cabinet members OR a separate body created by congress. Congress can implement a body to enact the 25th. 000
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And whose to say there are not some Republican senators who would back impeachment ? 100
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 19/09/2026No we are not stuck with Trump. He can be impeached, amendment 25ed. So it is not a fact. 100
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Posts like this discourage people who think voting is useless. They are part of the reason people just stay home. Journalists aren't supposed to drown hope. All the common person can do is vote, we have no control over how our politicians act or react.Hold the line. 020

MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yet there are detractors from the " never Trump" school who consistently post negatively on him. Even turning commenting off. 000
MPvet79 @mpvet79.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Strange, posts criticizing AES negatively have commenting turned off. Why ? Probably because their opinions suck and are dead wrong. 020
