Is there any set of circumstances where dems would ever take meaningful, organized action against The Party?

I am pleased and proud of the amount of education/violence that has grown from this post.

I love you, my comrades!

I have long said: If the Republican party didn’t exist, we would have to invent it. And while it may not feel that way today, the Republican party must exist to provide a terrifying villain for our voters. And I promise you: We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure that it will be.

Democratic party voters are so whipped compared to Republican party voters. R’s are legit terrified of their voters, and have to follow through with their shitty culture war desires or get thrown out of office. Sure, they screw over their voters too… but it’s only because their voters like the ways they screw them over.

Today we’re blaming Democrats for being blocked by Republicans?

The Supreme Court of the United States has already ruled that the president can extrajudicially murder american citizens, and that the Court does not have authority to overrule the President’s decisions on who they place on their terrorist watch list, AND that the president can drone strike those on the list without any input from Congress or the Courts. This means that any American citizen can at any point be murdered for being in the way of the President / Executive branch entirely legally. I dare you to find a more compelling political argument than “I can have your entire family incinerated from the heavens and you literally cannot defend yourself against that”.

It’s so funny, every election cycle of my existence on this planet has been “republican gets elected, does whatever they want, democrat gets elected, it’s soooo hard to pass laws :(”, repeat ad nauseum. I have this uncanny ability known as “pattern recognition”.

Yup. Maintaining the status quo is easier than changing it. Even the tiny little bit Democrats try to change.

they don’t “try to change”, they expand on conservative policies while pretending that doing good things is impossible. They are controlled opposition. I’m tired of having this conversation every 4 years.

Why was Trump able to make so many changes? Was it because he was a better statesman than Biden?

Since you evidently don’t understand how the government works, both Congress and the Senate have to pass a bill for it to become law. The Senate is intentionally designed to give conservatives more power.

Doesn’t understand that liberal politicians only exist as controlled opposition to conservatives

“You don’t understand how government works”

lmao

Why’s Biden ‘negotiating’ title 42 back into existence for them then? Why did he never codify Roe like he said he would, or completely fold on COVID when he could have taken numerous steps well within the ‘acceptable’ periphery of the powers of his office to do so?

Maybe they’re just another corporatist party that keeps the mask on a bit better in public (as long as it’s not an N95 one, anyway)

Huh, sounds like an indefensibly stupid and evil system we have here when millions of lives are on the line. Best to throw it out.

I was going to vote for Biden but now I won’t because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they’ve even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.

Yeah, it’s call a bicameral legislature. I was filling out my elementary school study guide, so I appreciate the reminder.

I’ll institute a fair income based repayment program so you aren’t crushed by negative amortization and if you’re making only twice the federal minimum wage you pay nothing

Addressing student loans was unironically a huge W from Joey Brandon
