The leadership of the Democratic Party, eternally clueless and stuck in an Aaron Sorkin fantasy

So is this like a Senate-born illness

Comments

Bidens basic problem is that he was always a POMPOUS ASS SENATOR! I think they feel like they're some sort of "NOBILITY" above the fray and kissing each other's ass to maintain the fiction!

I think when Republicans didn't blink when Trump mocked a disabled reporter, attacked John McCain's war record and the "Grab em by the pussy" tape came during 2015, it was pretty clear that the entire party are awful racist idiot traitors

There ARE no good Republicans

Sorkin is low-key one of the great villains of our time

The Epiphany is that a they are all power hungry heathens w no morals or ethics…they serve themselves and the wealthy, not the people of the US

This "the fever will break" belief among Democrats needs to end. It hasn't happened in over a decade. I doubt it ever will.

I TOTALLY agree. That program was pure fantasy and the too many Ds believed it.

independenthuman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I believe that, while still a typical Democrat, Biden was genuinely a good person with a big heart who was just too dedicated to his passion for politics that he was too blind to see past the Govts lack of desire to do what out forefathers created it to do, work for the people.

independenthuman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Sadly his devotion to the party lead him to settle for the few wins he managed during his 4 years while those under him hid his debilitating health just to hold on to that damn status quo that Democrats refuse to let go.

The Democrat party has to change, of things will only get worse.

Joe Biden went out the way he came in - beholden to arcane rules & processes, addicted to bipartisanship, unable to see the big picture, stuck in 1973.

danieldavidson.bsky.social•12 hours ago

... out the way he came in, seeing colors and lights, barely able to hold a thought, unable to speak clearly.

If George W. Bush said he was certain that Al Qaeda would reject bin Laden for "going too far," everyone would have rightly considered him nuts.

Maybe there would have been. If they fucking held him accountable for the insurrection and didn't let him walk on everything

Fuck garland, everyway possible

This isn't even Aaron Sorkin. They believe in an actual fairy tale.

Even Aaron Sorkin couldn’t act as if Tea Party Republicans weren’t full of shit, and now a 2010-era Tea Party Republican would be the least bad Republican in the House.

There are no good Republicans. Start there.

I think we’ve had just about enough of the Bidens Clintons and Obamas.

Get the fuck off the stage. You want to help. Go volunteer at a library or something

There is, alas, an element of classical liberalism that holds all political behavior as Good Faith efforts. Centrist Dems can't see the partisan nature of their Republican colleagues because they *can't*.

Any quote with 'my Republican friends'.

It's a minor miracle that despite having been a huge West Wing fan when it was originally airing I didn't end up like this.

Though I imagine me never being a Senator helped.

joef-3.bsky.social•16 hours ago

They’ve only learned one thing since 1992 and somehow it’s from a work of fiction.

proflouisjim.bsky.social•3 hours ago

I'm not knowledgeable enough to design a study to confirm my theory but I've thought for a long time now that the West Wing (though I enjoyed the show) contributed to the dysfunction we see today.

We are here because of the Republicans and the Democratic leadership.

Blue MAGA doesn’t want to hear this sort of thing. They’re like a kid who doesn’t want to take the medicine. They want to just donate to the Dems and put all their trust in them to make the bad orange man go away. It’s the dumbest thing in politics that isn’t MAGA.

jamielynnc.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I loved West Wing back in the day but fucking hell did it poison the minds of millions of people.

owillis.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Imagine Joe Biden still fucking arguing in 2025 that the Good Republicans are gonna show up. These mother fuckers went after the man’s kids and wife and he’s still talking this dumb shit. It just makes me want to vomit.

Nobody is paying any attention to what he is saying.

Same goes for the Clintons and President Obama. On this issue they are just out to lunch. The only one who seems to get it is Michelle Obama, and maybe not even her.

steveseel.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Oh, she gets it.

They need Repubs to be the honorable opposition, patriots who simply have policy differences. And Repubs constantly tell us Dems are traitors who traffic children and want immigrants to take everyone's jobs. They don't consider Dems actual people. Pathetic.

burrowcrat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Michelle Obama and Karen Pence. Maybe that’s the true bipartisan ticket the country needs.

agoodbrent.bsky.social•14 hours ago

They can take turns, like in “My Fellow Americans”.
