You and Red both seem to have universities completely backwards. He thinks universities are there to serve professors and you think professors are the customer.

Yep. This is sad. And I think whether democrats were saying it out loud or not they think the same way when republicans are in power. Neither party wants the country to be successful when the other party is in power. I think democrats were probably somewhat happy about covid because it hurt trump.Saying the quiet part out loud. Republicans want to crash the global economy because they think it’ll help them in 2024.

Ronna McDaniel Says Possible U.S. Default ‘Bodes Very Well for the Republican Field’ in 2024
Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said the U.S. potentially defaulting on its debt would be a boon for Republicans in 2024.www.mediaite.com
Yet Republicans have had a solution since April and McCarthy has been there working every day while Joe is going on vacation this weekend. Imagine having your place of work in possible default and your boss going on vacation like Biden is.Yep. This is sad.

2 party system sucks ***.
Democrats had several chances to do this and they didn’t. Especially under Covid. Imagine how much worse the economy could’ve been if Democrats had refused the spending Trump demanded to mitigate Covid economic decline? With “luck” we could’ve put the country into a deep recession of 20+ percent unemployment. Try getting reelected with 25-30 percent of the country unemployed!Yep. This is sad.

Agreed. trump is the best candidate for the democratic party.Trump is unbeatable in GOP politics because he’s so deplorable. But his super power in GOP politics acts as his greatest weakness in the general. He’s seen as too cruel, stupid, and extreme for us normal voters. He has cost the GOP political power every single time he intervenes in elections. 2018, 2020, and 2022. From state legislatures to Senate seats, he’s cost them.
So bring him on in 2024! Can’t wait for him to hold nationally televised rallies where he’s denying 2020, making fun of sexual abuse victims, bragging about overturning Roe, praising Putin, sharing the stage with Nazis, and pledging allegiance to Jan 6 Insurrectionists. That’ll win normal people over in no time!
Soooo...the Republican control only the House. The House did pass a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Meanwhile the Senate, which is Democrat controlled, has steadfastly refused to vote on any bill raising the debt ceiling, and the President made it very clear that he would not negotiate with Republicans. Then for 89 days he was true to his word and refused to speak to any Republicans, who as mentioned previously had already passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling.Yep. This is sad.

Biden will talk budget but won't negotiate debt ceiling in Congress meeting
President Joe Biden will not negotiate over the debt ceiling during his meeting with four top congressional leaders on May 9, but he will discuss starting "a separate budget process" to talk about spending priorities, the White House said on Tuesday.www.reuters.com
You see Senate Democrats refusing to vote on anything that raises the debt ceiling and a President being publicly hostile to even talking about it as Republicans wanting to crash the economy. Got it.

It isn’t our two party system doing that. That is the product of our media, our culture, and throngs of really angry people.Yep, the two party system sucks. democrats vs republicans instead of what is best for the country. I agree.
I mean imagine if Biden said he loved the republicans proposal? Or if senate democrats did. They would be in danger of being called DINO's and voted out or censured.
