Coons: Default would confirm Chinese leader’s assessment that US political system is broken
The Hill ^ | 05/21/2023 | Julia Mueller

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) on Saturday said default would confirm Chinese President Xi Jinping’s assessment of a broken U.S. political system, as the White House and Congress negotiate over the debt ceiling amid the possibility of default.

“The single worst thing we could do is default. It would confirm Xi Jinping’s assessment that we have a flawed and broken political system, that we can’t solve our most basic challenges, and it would weaken us in the eyes of the rest of the world,” Coons said on MSNBC’s “Velshi.”

We effectively have one uni-party rule in the US. Have you not been watching the last 30 years

I imagine then that, you haven't been voting for anybody, or never voted for Trump, or any other candidate.

Just let things happen.

Does Coons want the Chinese system?

Was there a question if it was broken being posed seriously?

I am not sure about Chris Coons, but Xi Jinping is damn sure correct.
We are no longer living and thriving in a Constitutional Republic. We are now living and hurting in a post Constitutional Oligarchy.

Coons has done his part to destroy the American System. Being a Marxist guided him.

Coons is working for and supporting the very masters who want this to happen. Constant spending— Constant Ukraine money down a rat hole supported by NEOcons....abject MORONS all of them. Greasy skimming bastards scamming us— the people who will suffer the most.

Coons- who ALLOWED his daughter (squirming to get away) to have her hair smelled and some nasty a@@ shite whispered in her ear and her little pre-teen nipples to be tweaked by-— none other than JOE BIDEN. This is who our “executive” is- a permanent lying stupid a@@ craven pervo, incompetent and his grifting family. They knew-dnc a@@ clowns and Pelousi— just who they are.

“ Why do we give a (fill in the blank) what President XI thinks of our “broken political system”?”

It’s a nice way of saying, “bye bye 10%.”

Christine O'Donnell would have been a much better Senator, but she committed the crime of defeating Mitch McConnell's pick.

The failure is that the “two party system” is working against voters getting what they want, and has been since 1945, more or less.

You pick your party like you pick a sports franchise. Each party is tasked to offer one thing you want, and one thing you hate.

Your choice is to figure out if you hate the hateful (R) thing more, or the hateful (D) thing more. This fixes your “identity”, so much so that whether “we” win or “they” win, nothing ever changes.

If people could vote FOR both things they want, and AGAINST both things they don’t want, our 51-49 or 49-51 elections would disappear - which is why change is impossible under the present system.

It’s not broken. The demonrats don’t deal other than my way or the highway.

Yeah, even if it turned out that O’Donnel was a witch, at least she wouldn’t have been an Obama/Biden lapdog.

And it was Coons who turned Jeff Flake against Brett Kavanaugh -- Flake was the Republican who sided with Democrats to demand an additional FBI investigation before confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

"Isn’t Coons the guy who offered up his daughter to The Sniffer?"

And had an obsession with the term "boof" during Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
