The House Oversight Committee launched an investigation into Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's response to the Feb. 3 derailment, as administration officials have come under criticism for not visiting East Palestine earlier.
Yeah, Trump going to East Palestine to hand out water and burgers to people while Biden prances around Kiev is pretty terrible optics for the democrats. I expect that republicans will win by a landslide in 2024. Public opinion is already shifting against the war in US, and soon it’s going to be impossible to pretend that the war is not an absolute debacle. The economy keeps getting worse, and people are starting to connect the dots.
How does that even work? In Poland we have the same schemate (and it’s propably in most libdems too), even if thankfully not the same event.
Conservatives, regardless if in power or not, spare no effort in ratfucking succdems and libs. But libs and succdems also regardless of when in power or not, treat conservatives and other libs with kiddie gloves, seemingly beliving in the “responsible opposition” nonsense.
For example when exception happened and one PO guy low key thwarted PiS attempt at embezzling huge cash from the state, PiS treats this as mortal insult and that PO guy is their official enemy number 1 (fortunately for him it’s official because unofficial enemies of PiS tend to “commit suicide”).
Again, how does that work, both libs and succdems aren’t naive people, they scheme and ratfuck people on daily basis and their eyes lit on the mere thoughts of power, but all that disappears when facing anyone right of them and they routinely commit huge and easily avoidable political blunders.
I think the real answer is that this is just puppet theatre for the hoi polloi. Both parties represent the interests of the class that holds power, which is the capital owning class. There is no fundamental disagreement between the parties because there is no fundamental disagreement between people who fund and promote them.
While there can’t be a disagreement on the core economic policy, there can be difference in branding around social issues. Conservatives are marketed to voters who hate social progress, while liberals are marketed to people who think there should be more social freedoms. Conservative brand is to be tough and aggressive, while liberal brand is to be civil and reasonable.
The end result we get is the ratchet effect. Conservatives pass the measures that are controversial with the liberal base, while liberals ensure that things don’t slide back.
He basically conceded a huge PR victory to Trump by going to Ukraine instead
