Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Apple Thor  
the ship brought supplies with it. A US aid ship brings a ton of supplies and more. You might believe he should be doing more, but don’t push this false narrative that he hasn’t set anything to them.

@Background Pony #4002  
Additionally the federal government sent ventilators to NY last week. Why they haven’t sent more? I don’t know, I don’t know what each state is requesting and what they need now. Apparently New York still has a stockpile of unused ventilators but are asking for more because they don’t have enough when the apex hits, that makes sense, but other states may need them on a shorter time frame.

@Background Pony #4002  
He is needs to do more. If he really wanted to do more he would be using the full power of the Defense Production act. Griping, and pointing fingers isn’t helping New York nether is buying up needed supplies in a bidding war between the states. The states should not have to compete with the Federal Government.
 
And it isn’t what I believe it is a fact that Donald Trump isn’t doing enough. Its only going to get worst if Trump doesn’t stop dragging his heels.

@Apple Thor  
Like I said, the DPA is a problem, it would be one thing if he was hesitant to use it before, but he wasn’t hesitant. New York though has received aid supplies.

@Dustcan
 
Does that mean our boy Bernie still has a chance?

@Ebalosus
 
No more than usual. It just means whoever is the nominee now has 1 less month to campaign before the November election.

I know a lot of people here are Bernie supports, but honest question.
 
If he does end up becoming president, will his supporters here still be willing to call him out if he does anything bad/fucks up?
 
Because for all the times we had calling out Trump and his supporters which they deserve, it’s better if people don#t’turn a blind eye to Bernie just because it’s the guy WE like.

@Background Pony #9B61  
It’ll probably be a lot easier for his supporters to call him out if it doesn’t imperil his chance at the White House.

@Background Pony #9B61
 
I was a Trump supporter back in 2016-17. I am most certainly not one now.
 
Speaking for myself I have no issue with calling out ‘my guy’ if ‘my guy’ gives me reasons to.

Why do Republicans keep supporting policies that have been repeatedly proven to not work, like trickle-down economics and current gun laws?

Late April fools joke

@Background Pony #799E  
Because Ronald Reagan made Republicans feel good. It did not matter if the US ends up a second world dump. As long as the Republicans gives a sweet little shout out to them and own the libs.
 
Its a sad reality that many Republican voters don’t care about politics and just want things done. The refusal to hold their party accountable allows the GOP to act without caution or dignity. If you want the Republican party to change you are going to have to get those disenfranchised Republican voters to care and that means bringing them into the fold.

@Background Pony #799E  
Because they’ve got an affinity for shifting blame and playing up the idea to everyone that you too can become fabulously wealthy.

@Background Pony #799E
 
They got some real good PR from dedicated propagandists like Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, and to low-information voters their slogans of “Fiscal Responsibility”, “Small Government”, “Pro-Life”, etc sounds really appealing. Each and everyone of those slogans are lies, but again to the voter who don’t have the free time to look up political history they’re hard to disagree with.

@Background Pony #799E
 
If you want the republicans to support gun control, arm up black people, minorities, and leftists (which is what some of us in the 3D-printed gun community are doing, though not for the reasons you think). Them and the NRA will be all onboard for “sensible” new gun laws, because gun control in America has always been about keeping guns out of the hands of “their kind.”

@Background Pony #4002  

 
He was hesitant to use it…Where were you during these last few months?

Sounds like Yellow Flash 2 and The Umbrella guy tier nonsense.

Price gouging is already illegal. But price gouging essential equipment during a crisis should be, like, double illegal.

@Dustcan  
Bernie Sanders should drop out and then use his influence to promote change. Staying in the race is a waste of Bernie Sanders time, health and money. Its pretty obvious from the data that Bernie Sanders isn’t going to secure the nomination. I wish he would concede while Biden still likes him, instead of being regard with contempt and scorn by the Democratic Party for being so bull headed.

@Apple Thor  
Why? As if Biden has a chance of beating Trump. Bernie would rather stick to his morales and ideals because he fucking cares and isn’t a corporate sellout, by the books politician like Creepy Joe.

@Apple Thor  
Biden HATES Bernie. 90% of everyone in Washington does. They’re all backstabbing snakes that gotta look good when they’re on the camera

@Mikey  
A lot of Political Analyst point to Bernie Sanders not conceding earlier a contributing factor to Trump’s victory where around 15 percent of Bernie Sanders supporters voted for Trump. Bernie Sanders refusal to back out knowing he didn’t have a chance really hurt the Democratic Party. If Bernie Sanders really cares about the party and or stopping Trump he has to consolidate with Biden for the sake of party unity.
 
Because if Bernie Sanders loses again and we get four more years of Trump, people will not be as kind to Bernie Sanders this time around. There will not be a DNC or a Hillary Clinton blunder to fall back on. Bernie Sanders will have to take the blame for it and there will be no sympathy for him or his supporters.
