Friedman: 'This Rotten Republican Party Needs To Fracture' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
That means the whole house is rotten inside already…
It’s been rotten since 1776
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried
Think peacful separation. Everybody gets the government they want
All we need is an independent party for the government.
We need NO Independent Party…They will just add to the corruption of the US….
Adding a third wheel is a well-worn tactic used by politicians to add or take away votes from competition…
Let wishy-washy, unsure politicians compete but they still have to take a stand or be silent when the time comes to decide who the majority is in any issue.
The 2nd Trump impeachment voting told me independents need not participate in making a majority decision, their nature is weak.
@CJ K Only in China can you get a real mainstream media (sarcasm) not here… I prefer to think on my own, and vote with my conscience, thank you…
@amanda grothmann That is definitely an exaggeration to the nth degree…Trump is no Obama by any measure… but you can have Trump if you are a masochist-leaning body….
@Shannon Elam Yes… their first members would be David Duke, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Sydney Powell… good luck with that!
@yootoober2009 I’d rather have an independent person that has lived a normal persons life style and knows what it’s like to struggle in the real world as oppose to some career politician that comes from a rich background and has never felt what it’s like to be a single parent, or have to work 2 jobs just to barley get by. Someone that knows hard times is much more humble. And humble is what this country is lacking in.
Friedman: I can’t think of something more important right now…
Covid: am I a joke to you?
It’s been a joke to all of them – the whole time.
One might use this as a clue.
Stop telling us the high hopes on low faith
Lisa Murkowski?? That last minute “I secretly didn’t support the agenda” statement after voting lockstep with McConnell?

Remove this women
She was one of the few who DIDN’T vote “lockstep” with McConnell.
@Donna B. She was one of the few who threatened to vote against McConnell if she didn’t get concessions. Like Collins, but more spineless. Whereupon she voted just like McConnell wanted her to.
Ya all the Republicans made some excuse how everyone should forget the lawlessness of the trump administration never vote for them again.
Never forget if you want law and order the price is law and order and if you do not pay it you will never have law and order
AMEN!!!
We have 9 partys in the Swedish “Congress” (Riksdagen). Cant understand that you only have two in the US. Democrats should split up aswell.
It’s an illusion of choice. We’ve only had a Republican or Democrat president since 1832.
One is a parliament, one is a presidential form of government. Makes all the difference.
@Brother Mine political parties will be the demise of our democracy. You ought to read Washington’s farewell address. Man predicted a lot and was right about a lot
We in England have the same problem, though there are other parties, it really comes down to Conservatives or Labour, been saying for years that it needs to change. The Swedish system sounds better 😊
George Washington himself warned against a two party system in his fairwell address. And now we are finally reaping the benefits of what he warned us about (again) 250 years later
Really, keep it out of power. This whole system is garbage
It sure doesn’t sound like anyone is all that happy.
It’s time to get a piece of the American pie everybody…
I like how Twitter is a we to these ppl as if they control it. Oh wait, they do lol
He’s right. Everyone loves. 3 sum.. 😂😂 💃
I hope the Democrats are paying attention also.
The country needs leaders, not politicians.
Amen.
You can save that hope. Its crystal clear the Biden administration, given his far rightwing corporatist pro war history, and the people he has selected to fill his cabinet so far. The best we can pray for is business as usually. But when he says his first order of business is to wage war on domestic terrorism in response to that phony staged attempted coup. Prepare to lose more rights and a possible financial collapse. This maniac is worst than Trump. I know, its hard to believe. Just wait and you’ll see for yourself.
@Dra Walker
Then HOPEFULLY the people won’t be so blind and slow to act, this time.
@Logan Daniels 👍🏿
@Dra Walker the US is already in recession. Trump has done his job for Putin well.
GOP has been corrupt & power hungry as far back as I can remember. They could never legislate or govern because too busy maintaining control & amassing wealth.
How about democrats Bill gates,The Clintons, Zuckerberg,Soros,come on this argument is old,wake up!
@Mary Jo “How about” none of them arranged an assault on the Capital. As it is, even if we don’t like any of them either, it doesn’t excuse white nationalists steamrolling our seat of government. Grow up.
That’s how I feel about the left. Wouldn’t a peaceful separation be the best way?
It needs to disappear entirely, they’re all rotten to the core, as are most Democrats.
This guy’s argument is specious. Which traitor urged him to spout this trash.
MAGA-Q is the Republican Party, they are ANTI-democracy Theocratic Terrorists, period.
That’s like giving your enemies their weapons back and hope they get their issues straightened out.
He still has his phone, it’s just that no one is answering.
He hasn’t realised yet.
