    dems wouldn’t have pulled most of the shit that’s going on rn. ICE, tarrifs, etc…

    however, i think everytime americans vote for dems with a stable majority, it opens the door a bit for a third party to grow next term, until one day it’s dems vs this third party.

      really?

      Franklin D. Roosevelt

      Political party | Democratic

      The attack on Pearl Harbor raised concerns among the public regarding the possibility of sabotage by Japanese Americans. This suspicion was fed by long-standing racism against Japanese immigrants and the findings of the Roberts Commission, which concluded that the attack on Pearl Harbor had been assisted by Japanese spies. On February 19, 1942, Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which relocated 110,000 Japanese-American citizens and immigrants, most of whom lived on the Pacific Coast.[154] They were forced to liquidate their properties and businesses and interned in hastily built camps in interior, harsh locations.
