It's a sincere question. I'm saying that I don't understand something. You're welcome to choose to not engage. That's fine, but this is not honest discussion.

The original reply said it's almost like you get with who you vote for. I don't understand how either party would have handled this differently. My statements route from this lack of understanding. If you choose to call it what about is them or whatever that's fine I don't really mind I guess but what I'm saying is that I have lost faith in either party to handle this type of situation in a way that benefits the people rather than corporations.

Maybe I've made some assumptions here for example I assumed that that person was saying that Biden is the direct cause of this, you get who you vote for and Biden caused this.

I'm saying is I don't have faith that the specific situation will be any different with any other politician, regardless of party would have made this better. ITT, someone pointed out that Trump removed relevant regulations. I remember hearing about that when he was in office.

I am expressing a disappointment in seeing 2 succive administrations specifically making rail freight more risky (Trump) and then riskier and at the same time siding with large industry.

I suppose I could've just said "it do be like that"
