Good, give away two supreme Court seats, neglect to put protections into law and abdicate congressional authority to the executive is solidly on their shoulders. The Republicans have been very public with their goals for decades and the Democrats still insisted they could negotiate.
We’re going to vote for them again in the next election in the name of “harm reduction” or “being realistic” and they’re going to keep doing the same feckless shit over and over again.
You think we’re still gonna have elections by then?
Anyway, yes, harm reduction and dragging the overton window left is preferable . A company that builds crematoriums was an exhibitor at the Board Security Expo earlier this month.
But even more preferably, these old farts need to get primaried out.
I’m in a safe blue state. I’m seriously considering leaving parts of my federal ballot blank or doing a write-in if people outside of the old guard don’t win the primaries.
Letting the Republicans win went so fucking well this year.
What’s that about not learning anything?
most democrats are unaware that they lost because their fellow democrats intentionally didn’t vote and are also unaware that there were so many that there weren’t enough 3rd party voters make up the difference; so it’s pretty clear which politcal group isn’t learning anything.
So let’s just throw away our votes to a third party? What do you propose instead of voting for the less bad option? What is something you or I can actually do?
Dealing with an emergency and all they have is old men who don’t have what it takes to take on the rabid GOP. Never understood why the US system is dominated by such old people.
Only because that’s the way the Democratic party decides it is. Republicans don’t follow the same practice. These are informal rules agreed upon internally, not anything legally binding
They should just gate the whole American leadership and treat it like a giant old age home at this point
Tell them all that they’ve been sworn in for a lifetime and just pump them all with anti psychotic drugs, pretend that they are actually doing things and having meetings and just contain them all for the rest of their lives.
Maybe in Order to get BETTER Polling they should Slide FURTHER Right? They MIGHT be able To Get Democrats BACK if they just go FURTHER Right!
They just haven’t reached out to moderates and Republicans hard enough!!!
Maybe if they support genocide even harder, do even less to hold wealthy criminals accountable, throw even more minorities under the bus, and get a few more Cheneys on board, they will peel off exactly one republican vote.
Aw, who am I kidding? They would happily do that regardless of how few votes they got.
Yeah, because they suck as Democrats. They aren’t even good Republicans. They are just greedy, unappealing people who don’t have a conscience when they have to do their job of representing their constituents.
Democratic leadership also sucks so they would rather keep their like-minded predators than have anyone with empathy and personality gain a leadership role.
That’s what happens when the country is being turned into a fascist state and people being sent to camps, while the majority of them are mumbling about midterms and trying not to rock the boat.
At this point they are complicit in the downfall of America. Although I’m sure they’ll be happy when they retire somewhere else in the world with a big bank account.
US fealty to other countries over American interests every time. Israel, China, EU states, it doesn’t matter. If it’s good for the corporate hegemon - and because money is speech now - you get a predictable result. We’re living through corporate oligarchy. One of the biggest corporations (by value) in the history of the world has its CEO siting in the Whitehouse directing our government functions. He’s in charge of firing federal employees. It’s clear as day, corporations run our government. Not reven a recent phenomena - lobbyist have been doing it forever with increasing success since Regan / 80s era. We’re fucked, it’s all downhill from here. The fall of the American empire is probably closer than we all think.
The Democrats are part of that machine. With few exceptions they are willing participants in the process.
