This is an attitude that is solely displayed by Dems.

CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough?

SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.

even when dems *are* in power it's always shit like "oh, but there's a process," and "the president doesn't have as much power as you think," etc, and when inevitably nothing gets better they point fingers around to blame everyone but themselves for why no one wants to vote for their useless asses

“Maybe if we play nice with the bullies they’ll stop bullying us.”

Hell no. The only way we’re gonna stop the right wing is if we have the balls to stand up to them.

And the Democrats historically have lacked said balls.

The Dem’s use this excuse even when they have power. Even Obama severely watered down the ACA as to not offend the GOP’s sensibilities too much.

Whenever the GOP loses they are always, ALWAYS planning for how to win again. They are relentless. They do not concede. They only give up when they are forced to. And even then they act like they've won.

DESPITE THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION their attitudes are always "fuck you I win".

I just wish for the Dems to show maybe one percent of that attitude.

Seriously, if the Dems gained even a little ground, I think most of their critics would suggest we push them for more rather than write them off. They might've even won the election.

goddamn

This is the issue that has me calling bs. The Republican Party managed to obstruct that absolute hell out of a Democrat super majority in 2009 but now I’m asked to believe Dems are powerless against a 3 seat deficit in the House.

I agree with you here. It's.. bs honestly.

Any inaction doesn't surprise me since they said they wanted a strong Republican party.

(The worst part is they said that _after_ we had four years of Trump.)

The republicans spent 8 years stopping Obama from doing his job while being in minority. The Dems are just cowards who have chosen to comply in advance

More and more @mtsw.bsky.social's "Because they like Trump and want him to rule as a King" is looking true for top Democrats in addition to MSM.

Thing that bugs me when the Dems are in majority is that just because they are, the liberals and progressives are still in the minority and the conservatives are still in the majority. Because these "state reps" only rep states in name only. They are ideals reps. GOP & part of Dems are too connected
