      That's factually true that politicians are generally unlikeable as a lot; being in politics takes an ego that is somewhat unhealthy and filled with insecurity. However, that disapproval of Biden is based on him not un-f***ing in one year the mess that the republicans created in the last four. They did some major damage in four years, he can't overturn it in a year with the pandemic complications. Give a little leeway to Biden to fix some stuff that is quite insidiously complicated from the previous government. In a year of slowly getting to terms with the full effects of COVID on everything I am guessing it is pretty hard to get things back to normal/good-ish in just a year.

      It’s kind of hard to convince so many people that socialist ideas work. Knowing which countries around the world are actually Socialists, how do you think your going to convince people that actually do have open minds about wanting a better country. You can keep tryin to tell yourself you know everything but at the end of the day the majority of the population actually want the same thing. The ideas you even spoke about are being tried in the world and you and many others from both sides of politics are to narcissistic to realize.

      I am a Republican who is also a big Bill fan. I think both of us don't like the direction of our parties, and we both can see errors on both sides. The hypocrisy is so ridiculous. You do not need to look any further than the Supreme court appointee in 2020 vs 2016 (as Bill said). They seem to be doubling down though. The Democrats never accepted Trump's victory and talked about impeachment before he ever even took office. They figured they could get him on Russia, but there was not enough evidence, so when they realized that, they moved on to the next thing. So then that pissed them off and idiot Republicans were more likely to believe the 2020 election was "stolen." Then Biden is President, and Ted Cruz is talking about impeaching him, "just because." We are down a slippery slope and honestly. Both parties are responsible for childish and retalitory behavior (with Republicans probably getting the win strictly because we nominated Trump)..... Long winded way to say, we should not be having "knife fights" but one party needs to step up and just be the bigger team and maybe the other will follow suit.

      @@mbstrongs I am neither Republican or Democrat but also a big Bill fan. When looking back on Nixon, the nation slowly became united against him and Congress realized he had to go despite party politics. Trump should had been removed from office, things he did made Nixon look like a boy scout, but today politics is more important than integrity in the system. The filibuster was put in place to force the parties to work together but with social media it has made the US so divisive that Congress can do nothing. Republicans really don't have much to hit Democrats with except culture wars and the dumb Democrats play right into their hands. (Look at the Virginia governor race). Manchin and Siema are using the their positions to raise big bucks and power and if wasn't them it would be some other Democrat. (Remember when Obama was trying to pass the ACA and he had to make special concessions to the Nebraska senator?)
      America was the first democracy and it was an experiment. It has finally shown that it has failed. Parliamentary systems overall have proven to be better democracies in representing the true will of the people. I predict that in the near future the US will fall apart.
