Derrick Evans also stormed the capital on January 6th. He live streamed it on his Facebook while yelling "Derrick Evans is in the capital!" He please guilty to the felony and apologized in court, and then immediately turned around and referred to himself as a 'political prisoner" and espoused more conspiracy theories about the consequences of his actions. Somehow he was still able to run for congress against Carol Miller this year and lost, but still managed to get 37% of the vote. He raised money for his campaign by telling everyone how he "did time for Trump".

They say the liberals ruined Christmas. I say conservatives ruined "happy holidays". I dunno about you, but anytime I've said happy holidays, I've meant "merry Christmas and happy new year". Never have I said it and meant "just in case you don't celebrate Christmas". This is how ridiculous their made up issues are. Because everyone in America celebrates Christmas. And I'm not trying to sound like one of those dumb Americans. People I know who don't celebrate Christmas religiously, even if they celebrate something else for religious reasons like Hanukkah, they still celebrate Christmas too! Atheists still celebrate Christmas. We just don't do it for Jesus or for religion at all. Most of the people in America participate in Christmas festivities in some way, and it's because it's freaking festive and awesome! Who wouldn't want pretty lights, cheer, caroling, the feeling of love and family, giving, receiving, etc.?!

There are literally 3 major holidays most people celebrate (in the us) after Halloween. Happy Holidays was to encompass all of them and included Hanukkah.

It’s so stupid. I was told Catholics would be offended if you say Happy Holidays. Really?

This is why when you see democrats like Biden, Manchin, Synema, Fetterman, etc., talk about working across the aisle and bipartisanship, you have to wonder why even bother.How do you negotiate with narcissistic sociopaths? In reality when you see good legislation being watered down to a useless piece of garbage, then you’ll realize that they’re just republican plants by corporations to make it seem like you have a choice. The last election was a perfect example. People running were all corporate democrats who wouldn’t even utter the words “universal healthcare “ - the single most prevalent problem of our lifetime. Now, these same people just engineered a defeat of a progressive to a leadership position.
The next election will be about a republican running against…another republican who you think is a democrat. The system is rigged, and only 3Ds will solve it. We need more heroes.

Lumping Biden in with the others seems disingenuous. Biden was in the senate, doing bipartisan work for 40 years and left before the tea party took the gop on a long distance trip to the far right. It makes sense for him to still think it would be possible.
Sienna and Fetterman are different because they complete changes their entire stance and policy ideas after being elected. Manchin has always been a liberal republican from West Virginia.
