No! Are you crazy? Why do that when you can give way to every demand and then campaign the next 40 years on the same civil rights issues we resolved over the previous 40 years?
no because at the end of the game they'll tally up all our Good Boy High Road points and we'll win SUPER hard, so you just have to be patient you'll see
I wrote a song last week called Chucklefucks Against Fascism because I have absolutely no faith that they’ll do anything that might be seen as unkind or less than civil.
I think they’re finally done adding ethnicities & phobias to their list (manifesto) of who to blame for their failures.
Maybe Dems will make a bill so American flag desecration is now punishable by firing squad, but only if we can manage to wrap up our urgent bald eagle legislation before years end
Not until the entire old guard retires (dies of old age), resigns willingly (dies of old age), or dies of old age (dies of old age). These fuckers would rather be complicit with the republican party and doom the country than lose a shred of their personal power even with both feet in the grave.
AOC not moving up the dem machine ladder was the obvious rejection of any internal reflection or change. Like her or not, that at least would have been some semblance of a fight. Dems are about to roll over entirely.
if the near hourly mass emails i get are any indication, they are Very Concerned and need your $5 donation to really show the GOP who's boss (apparently the GOP is the boss)
Last week Klobuchar was interviewing a specialist testifying to congress about the insane costs of Trump's 'deport them all' plan and instead of focusing on either the moral or even the cold economic dimensions and costs decided to ask 'Okay, but what's a smaller number he could reasonably pay for?'
I know why the Republicans are all into border security. What I am most concerned about is why the Democrats would go along with the lie that immigrants are dangerous. Unfortunately, I suspect I know that, too.
I mean yeah that's my question, the answer is the country is getting less white through racial wealth disaprities and white people are looking for any and all ways to stop that progression, regardless of efficacy.
Isn't it easier just to do what Americans have always done historically and make another immigrant group white? If you counted Hispanic and Latino populations as white, America would be 75% white again
It doesn't even make sense in context, most PD's policy at this point is that if you're undocumented and arrested for a crime they call ICE if it's a felony, so at this level you're just trying to also capture people with drunk in public charges and similar shit.
They'll politely ask the republicans to stop and then tell us they did their best and to trust the guardrails of our democracy that republicans will just ignore and do it anyways.
I think they're pretty much just shutting down. The election was devastatingly bad. And, well, now that we have a borderline geriatric president who has his mind set that the opposition are all pedophile Satan worshipers, well... the safest thing to do is just... submit. Or flee.
And, well, there's also the rise of the non-liberal left threatening to splinter the party. Playing it neutral will ward off the Jacobins. Otherwise, they'll end up being overwhelmed and be forced to actually do shit.
I'm convinced that the Democratic party cooperating with the fascist party is actually what we need to stop the fascist party from doing what they want.
Because that is the plan the Democratic party said that they're going with, and what are we gonna do, suddenly install a third party or something?
They're literally pulling the old-school parenting trick of "oh you think you know better, then you do it..." to the party and constituents that backed them for decades, with an entire society on the line.
Of course not! They'll just continue their tried and true method of running right, capitulating to all the Republicans' most evil policies, and going "heh heh, you're not allowed to do that, sir" as they're all lined up against the wall by the MAGA Gestapo.
They're gonna agree to go along with them and hope that even when they're actively hurting people, the voters appreciate the maturity of the party that they were willing to even accommodate fascism for the sake of maintaining decorum
No, because all they know what to do after an election is fundraise. They never lose and self reflect or lash out at the OTHER side. They only know how to belittle their own side after a loss.

Fight back, dummies!
"I don't like this, but I will vote for it."

We have a winner!
They've said pretty openly that they're going to capitulate on everything in hopes that....
...I fucking honestly don't know what they're hoping for... A miracle? There doesn't appear to be a strategy....
They only run on being opposition, they're not actually opposition.
They are not about shit

We weren't elected to work, we were elected to network and become obscenely wealthy. 😩
Dem Party: These things are bad.
Also Dem Party: Better things aren’t possible.

Hillary Clinton returns, more decrepit and hawkish than ever
Lol, said the DNC operative.
Lmao.
