I find it a problem when Republicans can punish, whip, and influence their individual actors but Democrats can't. Ever.
Unless it's for something awful.
Also look up "rotating cast of villains". Or "Kayfabe".
As long as I've been politically conscious or active, I've watched this pantomime play out.

One Dem opposes.
And it is the Dems fault.
You really are the problem.
Democrats can't get this single guy to vote with them nor can they peel off a single sympathetic opposition vote ever."
It seems like Democrats are bad at *basic politics* then. But I have to vote blu
Dems brought you the 5 day workweek, rivers that don't catch fire, food that is what it says on the label, Social Security, public housing, civil rights
You little lying fascist cunt.
Modern neoliberal Democrats see this nationalized healthcare people like and refuse to spread it to everyone. Or fight for it.
You really are a ridiculous fascist cunt, Ernst.
Reagan
Bush
Trump (with a vengeance and every branch of govt)
Please recognize how bad these democrats fumbled and start blaming them. They have nothing to offer. And they ceded this ground. Our powerless selves did not create this
Or STFU
Because all you are doing is supporting fascism, you useless idiot.
This (described in the article) is not fighting fascism. It is feeding it. Collaboration. It should make you upset.
This is *one* example why Democrats being "anti-fascist" isn't just some automatic concept. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/09/politics/senate-vote-laken-riley-immigration-bill/index.html
Heck of a job.
voters decide elections
sometimes the voters are just horrible
And like it or not, your enemies are doing it. The allies (Dems) you hold in high regard are not.
Wow. What a great example.
Maybe we shouldn't seek their help first? Have we tried that strategy? Polls were showing Trump was out of favor when we called them weird. And then we lost after getting the support of the Cheneys.
Exactly what did you expect Ds to do IOT magically force Lieberman's hand at that point? Threaten to kick him out of the party he already left?!
Imagine YOU were elected. Would you just fall in line & do as you're told? No? Then understand others have that same freedom to defy their parties as well.
Are they all "rotating villains"? Or is it simply difficult to reach a consensus w/in a group, & harder still to reach unanimity?
If you don't want to be beholden to every single demand from every single member, you need larger majorities, so you can afford to say "no."
Politics is the art of the possible, & greater majorities mean a greater universe of possibility.
And for some reason, championed by a Democrat lol.
If the Heritage foundation loved it, why did no Republicans vote for it? Why did they try to repeat it do often?
Wow, they suck
But second, we're talking about using Democrats ceding ground to Republicans. Using their talking points. Their frame of reference. Playing on their turf.
Outsmarted at best. Inept could describe it, too
There's a lot of ways they can fix this. Moreover, having worked in their ranks, I can tell you they do not care about losing. They are secure.
But seriously, please use nouns & not pronouns—your responses are like really boring mad libs.
This awesome healthcare system we've preserved doesn't let me get the ADHD medicine I need. Sorry.
