I think this is one of the most constructive ways to confront them, if not for the fact people ignore these things anyway. Dems tried to push bills to investigate corporate price gouging, Republicans blocked, and somehow it’s all Dems fault, you know?

The cop there was complicit and 100% would’ve illegally arrested them. Beyond that, the door was locked anyway. Warren has a job too that’s getting more stressful by the day, people needed to elect better leaders. Did you catch any of Booker’s speech? I found it very moving.

People are criticizing Dems for not openly supporting these things without understanding the political impossibilities of it. At the end of the day if it somehow went to voting it’d at least be another thing to show to MAGATs who think republicans don’t do these things they won’t listen to.

We are on a post where people, including you, are criticizing Warren for wanting to put forward a popular bill that’s destined to fail so that the Republicans have to confront how they’d vote on it.

Maybe not Fox but the other two. Yes. Yes you are. You are able to organize a protest outside Johnson’s house (don’t move the goalposts). And if she did do these things, you’d care as much as you did when Dem senators tried to get into the DoEd as DOGE was in there, you wouldn’t.

Biden was able to take Trump’s disaster of an economy and prevent a recession against all odds. We had one of the most successful post-Covid turnarounds. Meanwhile, plenty of bills were put forward by Dems to go after corporate price gouging and were blocked by Republicans every time.

Those are mostly things you can do yourself.

No, there really wasn’t. When we have to count people like Manchin to get slim majorities that’s not like Republicans who fall in line without fail.

They’d not be happy with an independent but most likely would’ve, they’re not leftists that back Trump after they lose the popular vote in a primary. And we wouldn’t have socialized healthcare or a higher minimum wage or anything because voters would still give republicans the legislative branch.

Honestly he was too loopy for that. And I mean that with all the love he has for his colleagues. This was a better version of pulling all nighter banging out a great essay. He was clearly tired as hell but pushed through with sheer willpower and didn’t even let it dilute his message.

In fairness, that is the exact sort of journalistic integrity MSNBC wanted to get rid of you for.

It’s a heck of a lot more than you’re doing.

Sanders lost the popular vote in both primaries. If superdelegates were more evenly split, he’d still have lost. Harris needed a few hundred thousand more votes to win the EC, and then there wouldn’t be innocent people trafficked to El Salvador. Nonvoters got their change.

(Cory). The other day I saw AOC apologize to Conor Lamb for the progressive vote snubbing him in the primaries in favor of Fetterman. At the end of the day, the Democrat party is one mostly built from people who want us to be better.

There were like, two whole bills put in front of the senate for voting. Certainly not happy with Schumer, but Dems can’t really filibuster anything when Trump rules with EOs.

I’m not sure that when he eventually does yield the Republican parliamentarians will actually let him yield to another Dem.
comment in response to

Well geeze, maybe people shouldn’t have kept abstaining from elections to punish Dems for not having enough power to stop these things. He’s doing more than you.

Nope. The Dixiecrat whose record he is beautifully close to smashing never revealed how he held his bladder, I hope out of sheer curiosity Booker someday does.

There has been like, two fillibusterable bills on the senate floor.

I know full well what Trump is. He’s also a Nazi.
comment in response to
post
Uh, no. It was the “leftists” spouting out Russian talking points, and telling people that if they don’t vote against a Nazi they’re a genocidal maniac.
comment in response to

Sure Russki, I’m sick of people who campaigned for Trump against Harris lashing out at the liberals who actually tried to prevent fascism.

*I’ve been told enough times voting for Harris makes me a genocidal maniac
comment in response to

backed campaigns to get people not to vote. So yes, I do think that there are a hundred thousand of them in PA, or otherwise at least that many people who are convinced not to vote by their more “politically active” friends. Oh but they were happy to support Fetterman in the primaries though.
comment in response to
post
A couple million. If I had to guess, I’d say there’s a couple million fake progressives, it matches up fairly well with protest voting against Clinton and Harris. I’ve been told enough times at my swing state college by people who are silent today, and PA was a large staging ground for these Russian

Oh no, the democrats wanted to nominate a democrat to win over an independent, and so you had to ignore that independent when he told you to still vote. And now you have to campaign for Trump against Harris. Clinton won handily in every projection too tankie.
comment in response to
post
Most democrats have done everything in their power. When people spend more time campaigning against them than Trump and they don’t get a lot of votes, they don’t have much power.
comment in response to
post
Sabotaged by having more people want Clinton than Sanders in 2016? But good on you for campaigning against her and giving republicans three justices, they couldn’t have installed fascism without you!
comment in response to
post
Nothing but tankies who think helping fascism will help get other people to start a revolution that they can swoop into with their Stalinist ideals.
comment in response to

Harris lost the EC by a few hundred thousand swing state votes while regressives made absolutely no attempt to do any positive change, and now tens of millions will die without Medicaid and innocent people are being sold into slavery.
comment in response to
post
Lots of regressives saying they’re not doing purity tests when they campaigned for Donald Trump because Biden didn’t do any of their ideas that would’ve killed a crap ton more people in Gaza, people who begged them not to let Trump win. Scratch a “leftist” and a fascist bleeds.
comment in response to
post
Sanders lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020. If superdelegates were evenly split in 2016, Clinton still would have won. We should spend more than compromising with people like him, but not the tankies who campaigned for Trump. Tens of millions are going to die without Medicaid.

They’re owned by conservatives, this sort of powerful messaging is suppressed.
comment in response to
post
The people who abstained costing the few hundred thousand swing state votes for Harris to win the election were all show. They file lawsuits at everything Trump does, they held up secretaries as long as they could. If you want more, people need to vote for them instead of running smear campaigns.

Because that isn’t allowed. They can’t do that during the hearings.

At this point I think we need to make everyone play cookie clicker to help them understand orders of magnitude.

Murkowski is as MAGA as Greene, she only pretends to stand up for her constituents when she know it won’t make a difference.

Did the king overturn the 14th amendment through Congress?

We live in Nazi Germany and the Nazis don’t care. What should powerless democrats do?
comment in response to

They did and people called them alarmist and voted for the Nazi who talked about eggs.
comment in response to
post
That’s the only way he gets stopped by the system and it will never happen. Every single one of them is as much of a traitor as the rest. Murkowski and Collins just agreed to tut tut a bit so they have the illusion of not being the Nazis they are.

The media outlets are owned by conservatives. Plenty of Dems are going out and doing town halls but TikTok doesn’t show you that.

The party that kept them alive lost to the party that openly wanted to kill them and now we have a king who uses the constitution as toilet paper.

Define acting accordingly.
comment in response to

They’ll be in a work camp the next few cycles. The king is ruling through executive orders that trample the constitution. Their lawsuits mean nothing because he ignores the judiciary. You can’t filibuster what Trump is doing.

How do they do that when the dictator rules mostly through executive orders that overstep the constitution?

Chemotherapy is the only hope many cancer patients have of not dying. Most of them would rather take it despite it being a drastic measure than be certain of death.

Please, Gazans begged them to not let Trump win and they ran a smear campaign for him. They’re not Pro-Palestine, they’re just MAGAts with a white savior complex.

I asked someone what fake leftists who didn’t vote did to stop the dictatorship we live in and you, even though you did vote, felt the need to start making ad hominems. You sound like a con with your projection.
