United States of America is divided by understanding of our government structure, our civic duty, how to vote for overall policy toward a United States of America and democratic, law/order republic. Voters should never be a one issue vote.

Voters should always look for the 'poison pills' in a candidates platform, promises, agenda. Project 2025, Insurrection, corruption of trump/GOP and their voting/filibustering of laws should have immediately eliminated any promises to export immigrants, bring down consumer prices.

DUH! Watch what they do Not what they say!

"voters should never be a one issue vote" It was one issue last time : )

Sorry that many learning curves are long and frought with disasters. Just join the RESISTANCE and show us all how smart you are now.

Thanks. But I'll base what to resist on the issue, not on some blanket condemnation of the person. That's smart.

Years ago I read an article about all the orphanages and clinics for Vietnamese children that suffer from deformities and health issues from their parents exposure to agent orange during and after the war.

This is disgusting. The Trump admin needs to get back to the cleanup.

That we are approaching the 50 year anniversary of the evacuation of U.S. soldiers from Saigon , and that so much time had elapsed before the initial clean up efforts were understood to be a worthwhile collaborative effort between countries - that we are now witnessing the intentional abdication of such a specific responsibility to not hurt and sicken current and future generations from our previous chapters of micro managed Rolling Thunders etc. - Damn.

Dioxin is killing Vietnamese people again! Agent Orange ruined so many lives and it continues to do so! Horrible and yes, the US, under Trump, suffers because of his fascination and admiration of the authoritative countries and their dictators. Think he and his American billionaires care about any of us? No one iota.

Invite Dr. Phillip Low, scientist and ceo of Neurovigil to discuss his recent thesis about Elon Musk and the broader plans for not just establishing a dictatorship here in America but conquest of our neighbors and allied countries.

So when will you be holding the INEPT and INCOMPETENT Democratic Party leadership ACCOUNTABLE? What is their strategy and plan to combat Project 2025? No evidence in the last 50 years. Working Americans have been IGNORED for DECADES

The Left hates working Americans. They blame them for Trump.

So very untruthful, Democrats are hard working people, too. Can't we quit being divisive and get together to save our nation from the current authoritarian power who currently is destroying our integrity around the world. When we isolate ourselves, China takes over these countries and their valued natural assets. Try and study history over the world.

Maybe where you live. Where I live the working folk are Trumpers, the high income Democrat. They have a very low regard for "the Walmart shopper". That's what they call them.

Sorry to hear about this problem in your area. I'm in an area where there are more Republicans who are deeply divisive & critical of others. In class warfare, the majority of wealthy people, no matter their political beliefs, have always appeared to be an elitist culture. So, it all depends on the demographics within a specific location rather than pinning it on a specific political party, in my opinion. That's why our country is so divisive, as well as the social media influences.

Yes. But clearly the populist part of Trump's appeal is populist, meaning Joe and Jane Lunchbucket. Today's opposition has been described, hilariously, as an uprising of the elites against the commoners : )
