As Democrats brace for the coming Donald Trump era, many look back with frustration at the opportunities lost—the wasted carrots and the sticks left unused.

I've said it before and I will say it again. Democratic party leadership BELIEVED that Trump would be easy to beat and that voters would NEVER allow his incompetence back into the White House! That is why we must have a housecleaning at the DNC. They gambled with our futures and we LOST!
So, Trump's a threat, we're not supposed to try and regroup under a Dem banner, so yet more fragmentation to organize to save the country. Every woman for themselves. Got it.
And then, the outgoing president and his wife and the former presidents attended the coronation smiling and grinning, with looks on their faces that said, "Isn't he cute?" And "can you believe this guy?" "hahaha"
I don’t recall any real push by the Dems to remind people about the insurrection and the value of democracy. All the social issues we care about mean NOTHING without our democracy.
I know this isn't possible but part of me would like to fire all federal politicians (both sides) and just start fresh. Oh! There also needs be an age limit! 18-65
And no, I'm not talking about a coup, like a normal you got fired from your job cuz you're doing a horrible job & are a liability fired
This is what’s wrong with the current Democratic Party. They don’t fight on the same playing field. They let republicans do whatever they want and then democrats want to try and play fair and where do we end up? With a second term of the worst president (and a convicted felon) ever elected. Sad
Prosecuting the case against Donald Trump. Should have started January 20th, 2021. Leaving it to languish for two years was an enormously consequential mistake.
Let’s look forward and use what carrots and sticks still available to formulate plans to stop this monster. Wow is me, isn’t going to work anymore, Biden bashing won’t work. Think, plan, uncover, dig, investigate. Do your job! We have very little independent journalists finding solutions!
The only thing to do is laugh, grab your ankles, and kiss your butt goodbye. This time it's forever. King Trump gonna rule until one of his tool sons takes over. The media is garbage, you guys can all sit here and talk about how bad he is. Nobody cares. Charlie's GOP defunded Education years ago
All this “Trump tech oligarchs “ is the result of the indecision, and lack of courage from the Dems 🔵. The first 2 yrs control the house. They could declare Trump unfit 4 office. But nothing
This entire election, the way it was just thrown at VP Harris, and the idea that our own party, the dems., wanted him to step down, and just give up! is appauling. Im so ashamed of the party right now, its a joke!
Biden had all the power and presidential immunity. He could abused the insurrection clause as a way not to have this virus. In fact, the White House he claims to care about America but he just let it happen. That’s one reason why I left the Democratic Party.
Don't worry I hear the democratic leadership, Schumer, Durban, Pelosi and that other 74 yr old guy with cancer have a plan... If only they could remember where they put it.

We know that 47 will screw this up because he’s crazy.
Our only real hope right now is that 5-10% of the folks that voted for this abomination change their minds over the next few years.
I will choose to pray as well.
Just wondering, for comparison . . .

Non-confrontational?
Hey Biden! You hear what they said about you?!
BIDEN:
HARLAND AND BIDEN COMPLETE FAILURE
The battles have changed and the tools are all new.
I mean, Dem Congresscritters are rich 1%er types. Trump gives them a tax cut.
