neoliberalism has completely collapsed.
It’s dead.

Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level.

Why shouldn’t we act like this isn’t theater? Maybe it won’t be treated that way by the incoming administration but it seems a little ridiculous to me to see people ascribing ONE MORE VETO POINT that wasn’t explicitly written into this system.

This is fucking doomy, and the most I’ve been annoyed at reading people who ostensibly care about democracy today.

Took him 40+ years of service to become president so that he could help destroy the system that benefited him 🤬

The point is to make Republicans fight against women's rights. You should know that neoliberalism is a conservative economic policy.

Conservatives and moderates elected Trump because they're tired of neoliberalism. Liberals stayed home (or voted for Trump) because they're tired of neoliberalism. Democrats need to stop pretending, and, get to work for the people.

You holding your breath? Most here on the left side seem to think J6 videos and AOC memes are going to do it.

Politicians don't just fall out of the sky, you know. We elect them. If we want a better party, then we need to make it happen. Too many complaining from the sidelines without actually stepping up and doing anything about it...

They actually do. We only get a handful of choices, and they only come from big money. We are forced to elect one of a few terrible candidates.

All the money and disinformation campaigns in the world can't effect educated, engaged citizens. Create those and the rest will follow. It's the age of information, people are only ignorant because they want to be.

You're not forced to do anything. That's an excuse.

I live in MD's 1st cong district, Trump country. Rest of the state, rock solid blue. MD Dem's do nothing to turn the district. Literally, run candidates that can't win. Both parties are worthless.
