What a bad faith response to being called out for having a huge platform to promulgate Murc's Law. Like the two options are only "loving politicians", or blaming the Dems for not immediately fixing everything awful the Repubs do.

I'm not being bad faith. I'm not imagining things. I hold the Republicans fully responsible for the terrible things they are doing. It is not unreasonable to want our leaders to have a coherent response to something they knew was coming given that it was a 900+ page plan that was shared publicly
The corruption of the United States Government started decades ago.
We all who pay attention have been watching the Patriot Act, Citizens United, the big bank bailout in 2008-2009 and the PPP loan forgiveness give money to people with money.
Trump just is a better liar and manipulator. He has been breaking laws and hiding behind money and lawyers his entire career. He threw them under the bus every chance he got and bilionaires still back him.
Why? They see the end of civilization they created.
hells yeah, if this little nobody saw it coming in November and started making plans, why didn’t the folks who hold political roles also spend that time making plans for action?
Biden did make a plan which is why he pushed through so many judges in his last few months. If we don’t have the executive, legislative and part of the judicial branch (Supreme Court) he was trying to protect the laws at the federal level with the judges.
Thanks for clarifying. I was reacting specifically to your equating criticism of your post with wanting zero criticism of Dems. A sentiment that's all over bsky lately. What exactly do you want them to do? And why imply that Dems are "just gonna ride this additional crisis to the end of the line"?
Many folks with thorough knowledge of how Congress works have made specific asks of Democrats in Congress. You could start by following @indivisible.org.
What can Ds do? Actually fight the coup, don't just talk about fighting. Shut down the Senate. Shut out of a building taken over by Musk? Don't walk away. Get arrested. Act like it's an existential crisis. Be a story that the media can't ignore. Give time for lawsuits to work. Stop whining and LEAD.
He's not, though. There was a Senate vote on RFK, Jr. And the Senate Democrats delayed it, as long as possible, by holding the floor for "debate" overnight.
"As long as possible" my ass. They agreed on unanimous consent, didn't interrupt with a ridiculous procedural demand ONCE, and voted quickly. I'm going to listen to the guy who worked there over you, sorry.
My whole thing since the certification has been, maga confederates were willing to commit sedition for a lie, but I couldn’t get my Rep to *maybe* be held in contempt by _objecting_ to a disqualified traitor.
You're right about the mischaracterization ("immediately fix..."). But the main sentiment can still be fairly described as Murc's Law. And then she went further, suggesting that any and all vague criticism ("do something") is helpful, and that if you disagree it's because you "love politicians".
I mean, you do see why it's hard to find you the sympathetic party here when your rhetorically calling something bad faith while making a bad faith argument?

Very good faith. The most good faithest thing I've ever read, maybe.
Shills are so hard to distinguish from denialist and defeatists anymore, this one is living proof.
So like, I expect them to at least stay in building they are legally allowed to enter.
Or remove a corrupted mayor that is now a puppet!
