    MS-13 or Russia

    neither of those are real concerns tbh. Americans should be concerned about housing, feeding and providing medical care to everyone before worrying about external threats.

      Russia is affecting those things in the us though. Maybe if the gop weren’t in russias pocket you’d be more on point.

        People being unhoused, going hungry and without healthcare is bipartisan consensus in the US and Russia has nothing to do with that.

            Not all of the countries problems can simply be attributed to ‘the enemy’ on the other side of the planet. The dysfunction I’m pointing out is home grown and enabled on both sides. The republicans are obviously worse, the democrats prevent anything better.

              That completely ignores where the battle is being fought. Right now social media has a strangle hold on the discussion around politics in America. If misinformation/disinformation isn’t countered effectively the GOP wins out. That means there is no hope for the homeless, universal access to Healthcare, and every other legitimate function of goverment that the GOP are attacking.

              I don’t recall attributing all the countries problems on Russia and the gop. Most of the dems are gop lite. There are some that do work towards housing and feeding. Like school lunch and breakfast programs.
