USA has 3rd highest murder rate in the world, unless you subtract the five biggest Democrat-run metropolitan cities, and then we’re 189th out of 193

2nd dumbest guy in the world

Any fool who wants to believe this obvious GOP misinformation should also consider that city mayors did not fuck up the US economy. Think of 40 years of rising extreme income inquality, deregulation, corporate control of Washington, Citizens United, pay-to-play politics, millions in legal bribes to politicians, offshore tax evasion, NRA abuses, lax immigration laws, tax cuts for the wealthy, 10 trillion in debt after Trump's presidency, a Christo-fascist supreme court fucking over the 99%, and a 2-party system that has been manipulated by radical Republicans (and some Dems) who support only the 1% at the expense of the 99% for temporary profit. Opportunities for younger people have dwindled. Mayors didn't do this. Don't forget to vote.

Both parties are responsible for the mess and intense corrupt. But democrats do it far worse lately.
So bad that the republicans seem good again, even when their positions did not change.

It would be good (for you) to investigate what corrupts the parties. It is not just money.

No. This is a gross oversimplificaiton. Look at Republican developments in the past 40 years. They've led the way for the extreme income inequality now destroying the US.

But democrats do it far worse lately.

No. Look at all of the bills they've tried to pass, and some they managed to pass in the past 2 years. They are obviouely the only ones continuously pushing for policies and projects that help the 99%, whereas Republicans have stopped Dems whereever possible, and to the point of getting bribes for Dems who will vote with Reps.

So bad that the republicans seem good again

Are you reading the news? McConnell's complaining that the only candidates for Rep posts are unelectable extremist assholes. That's what radical Republicanism has done, amd McConnell can thank himself and other Reps dating back to Reagan for those developments. The Republican party is only for the dumbest, most fascist, extremist assholes, which is more obvious each year.
