You're nuts if you're questioning the wisdom and leadership of the Democratic Party right now. They're not the problem. The problem is the voters. What we need to do is replace 300 million voters

We need to stop treating corporations as people. Reagan killed the Fairness doctrine and thanks to Citizens United the richest people in the world can spread lies across the country with no consequences. The House being capped is also a huge problem. It needs to be truly representative again.
77 million of them were just fine and another 89 million, who didn't vote, are ignorant of the fact that every voter votes in every election; if you stay home, you're simply voting for the worst possible option on all issues.
That ignores any tampering done by FElon.
Before you criticize voters you may want to read this. Think about accessibility, think about suppression & disenfranchisement (peep that white electorate %), think about why the working class is moving away from the Dem party...
We need more turnout, more accessibility, more information.
When a Dem stronghold like Harris County, Tx, population 4.7 million, land area of 1,707 sq miles, is restricted to ONE drop off box to receive absentee ballots & TX law is passed to make it easier to reject mail in ballots, then one has to look at the ripple effect of voter suppression.
That's a very ableist attitude. Did some voters sit out? Sure. Maybe going on the trail with uber conservative Liz Cheney was a big mistake. But millions who can only vote by absentee/mail in were disenfranchised.
I bet you’ve actually never fully supported yourself on minimum wage or had food insecurity. I have. Don’t talk to me about ableism. I should talk to you about basic human decency.
I didn’t abdicate my duty!
It’s just not my duty to vote for who you think I should.
I have always voted for the best qualified person! It’s just not who you like!
Many ppl’s votes do not count because of electoral college and the parties being corporations deciding who is allowed as a candidate.
I live in California my vote doesn’t count!
I refuse to vote for those apologists and complicit in genocide unlike every single person who voted for trump and harris.
Hundreds of thousands dead Palestinians Iraqis
Afghanis Vietnamese shall I keep going?
I won’t vote for any war monger! Unlike you.
It's magical thinking of people to believe that all of the non-voters somehow all would have voted for Democrats had they just made it to the voting booth.
Poor read on the words. They clearly chose not to vote for the Democrat. By staying home they voted for the Republican and are responsible for the current status.
You are very self righteous! You and your team didn’t do enough for anyone to want to vote for what you put forth. You lost your own Dem voters because they have been economically neglected and morally challenged by the complicity of Dems to cause harm!
No, they are part of the problem. Sitting back and pointing out what’s wrong is not acceptable! We need action by those elected. Do you jobs and fight. Yes, the voters are part of the problem too.
Or maybe the problem is the Democratic Party is so ineffectual it actually lost twice to America's Most Reprehensible Man (TM). It takes groundbreaking ineptitude to capture such feats.
Has more to do with our for profit money driven media ecosystem than it has to do with anything else. We literally have a system where people and entities can make large sums of money by telling lies. That needs to change first before anything will get fixed
RESIST If we all do, every chance we get, it will have an impact. Don’t forget: don’t buy anything on February 28th… That movement is growing: Anecdotal evidence: I received an email from a friend who is not usually involved with politics reminding me about Feb. 28th. Do your thing but do something.
I won't defend the democratic party. Lots of missteps.
But this is also unintentionally true. The problem IS voters as well. Don't see how ppl can look at the last 20 years and especially since the pandemic and not know there's something seriously wrong with the country.
I think that's wildly, wildly optimistic. As a whole we're insanely succeptible to misinformation. Very vulnerable to the worst forms of populism and insanely ignorant about our own systems. A different party won't fix those fundamentals.
You’re right dude let’s just hang out down in your depression hole where the only solution is purging 77 million people who are “too stupid to know what they want”. Democrats can never fail; they can only be failed.
If democrats aren’t offering to actually do anything about the problems in American society today, then they won’t get the votes they need to win and implement those policies. Its pretty simple lol
Its the billionaire class! They’re the root of the problem. We need to fight back against them or we will lose the country as we know it. The people cannot heal until they get control of the country in their hands
Specifically, a huge part of the problem is tech billionaires. Social media and the internet are ubiquitous in our society and a small class of capitalists have complete control over how pretty much every single American gets their news and entertainment.
We all know this is wrong. The real problem is that we also know the Democrats won't do anything about it. And that they will continue to push right-wing policys and candidates on us, claiming it's to "reach across the aisle".
Isn't there a way we can take voting rights away from Trumpists? They're such horrid people, so nasty and full of hate. Voting should only be for nice folk like us, who are on the right side of history.
Orrrr go after the politicians being complicit in all this. There's only so much the Dems can do in the minority party. Get people in red districts to pressure their reps and senators more.
You know what... Biden and Harris are going to HURT A LOT from constituents not voting for them. They're not going back to a wealthy life. NOPE! They'll be broke and wishing they'd won the election. Lol
yes, they are part of the problem. the democratic party has been instrumental in the shift of the overton window in favor of facism. They have taken fascist stances on many issues while trying to cater to republicans. they need to be held to account as well. not doing so is hypocritical.
exactly. dems are awful on immigration, have fucked up any opportunity for us to get healthcare, many of them are guilty of insider trading, they vote for raises for themselves and dont do shit to get a new federal min wage passed. they do nothing on purpose. pay lip service, then fuck shit up.
i agree. unfortunately, the DNC doesn't - and they seem less willing to support candidates that are genuinely for the people. they sabotage their own candidates in favor of fascist ones wherever they can.
No the problem is the messaging. You must counteract this fascist demagoguery with strong messaging comparing these people to Fascism in Italy and the Nazi's in Germany in the 1930's and showing the destruction of the German and Italian states and what can happen to this country and their 401K's
The problem is an entrenched political class empowered by corporate money that have lost the faith of the people.
Grassroots candidates raised up by the people, representing the peoples interests, is your only way out of this mess.
Stop anointing candidates.
Without knowing who that is. I'm 100% sure they are a straight white male. The worst part? You're correct. America would have had higher chances of voting for a straight white male than a black woman.
The US has a population density of 93.29 people per square mile, and a total population of over 3.4×10^8 million people. Assuming they only want to replace those that didn't vote for Kamala, let's go with replacing about 2.7×10^8 EVIL WRETCHED voters.
Assuming an average distribution of sinners, that's about 2.9 million sq miles of voters. Converting to American football fields, that's about 1.4 billion American football fields, or 1.05 football (soccer) fields. That's one American football field for every person in China!
I'm SCARED by the number of people who took it seriously & went yeah you're right. Like it's honestly sometimes hard to spot satire when some people are legit this utterly batshit, but ppl agreeing with it is terrifying
Or get the 150 million that didn’t even bother to vote off their asses. It’s laughable that they talk ‘landslide’ and ‘mandate’ when they got less than a 1/4th of the country’s vote and wine by less than a percentage point. My only hope is all the folks he’s managed to fuck in less than a month.
George Carlin said maybe it is our leaders that are the idiots but the voters...48.9 % voted for the felon in chief vs the law and order v.p. of 48.3% slim margin...so maybe 3.5 million not 300 million. I hope the maga are happy when they can't afford shit and can't go camping
I know its probably not a popular notion but maybe we have to get back to the "Its the economy stupid" philosophy. We wont abandon our "woke" principles or allies, but we recognize and address the very real angst that income equality has created in the citizenry.
I dont disagree that the messaging was ignored. The reality was that there was real growth in workers wages and a very successful recovery from the pandemic, the infrastructure bill brought jobs back to places that were pulverized by the displacement caused by globalism. Dems didnt sell it
I think you mean perceived...since he is in fact working to end democracy.
MAGA pounded Biden from moment he took office. Hard to undo perceptions built over 4 years in just a few months.
Time to return favor & pound Trump for everything happening that we warned about until scales fall from eyes.
Harris was/is very loyal to Biden, not just in a workplace way but as actual friends. Bidens agenda included many things that would benefit the middle class and poor. He may not have accomplished all of it, but, he did get a whole lot done.
Harris will run for Governor of California and will win. As a Californian I am glad for that. But I cry for the suffering of the rest of the country and the world.
He just wasn't the carnival barker out there saying “I did that.” Every speech Harris gave focused on benefits for the middle class and raising people out of poverty.
Harris has consistently focused on addressing income inequality through progressive policies aimed at providing relief to middle- and low-income Americans. Her plans emphasize raising taxes on the wealthiest individuals and corporations to fund social programs such as healthcare, education & housing
The irony? You're talking about the exact same issues. You just don't know it. Hollywood could have made categorically more money over the years if they didn't constantly revert back to only straight white men can be leads in movies.
There's no telling the inventions america could have had. The cures we could have had if we didn't say only straight white men are intelligent enough for science. No telling how high wages could be now if people didn't say only straight white men should be rich.
They are fucking people and “woke” and “DEI” are Republican dog whistles for boogeymen they prop up.
Yes, focus more on the economy. Focus on the fact 71% of peoples income mostly goes to housing. Focus on high medical bills and prescription costs. Etc.
Democrats fixed economic issues, they decreased inflation, increased real infrastructure jobs, decreased the usurious predatory student loans, increased small businesses for people of color, capped drug costs etc-- but the problem was they didnt sign checks in big letters with a black sharpie pen
1. No, they didn’t decrease inflation. You can say they kept it from being higher. But inflation has never “decreased”. Saying so is a lie. Shit costs more my dollar is worth less. Inflation went up.
student loans don’t matter to the single mom without a degree trying to buy groceries.
The inflation rate reduced from 9% to 3%. Student loans should matter to a single mom trying to buy groceries because the disguised tax that is borne by an entire generation of people is a drag on the entire economy. But I understand that what I just said doesnt have the sizzle that
Trump lies do.
Small business numbers don’t matter to a worker working three part time small businesses jobs at minimum wage to make ends meet. (They make sure it part time so they don’t have to pay benefits.)
Replace...or educate? We (Dems most likely) need to identify and exploit the channels through which these voters receive information. This election proved it is not mainstream. It is fractured and disparate. Can we have a little creativity? Can I geta' 'amen' up in here?
And it's always about being the lesser evil not being the good guys because when they have full control they won't fix anything because they play nice. It's like watching the WWF all BS anymore
I have no doubt the election was stolen but I think it's all a show anyway no investigation or anything by the Dems. They let Republicans take over ruin things then take over and not be as horrible but still live off IAPAC money do really nothing it's an endless cycle
The democrats are a Ponzi scheme. That’s why I vote exclusively libertarian on everything. Even stuff that isn’t typically political. “What do you want on your pizza?” “Libertarian.”
imagine genuinely believing that unregulated capitalism is perfect and has no flaws, while simultaneously opposing corporate feudalism.
What do you call the most powerful organization in a country? The government. So what happens when the government is weak and businesses are strong? Yep.
Is this satire? The Dems haven't done anything of value. I voted Dem, and I still think this. Biden had MONTHS of time in office with these powers and he did nothing with it.
Democrats need to show us what they are going to do with this power, and they need to GIVE US A REASON TO GIVE IT THEM.
Right, it's not like IRA and IIJA created 2m+ jobs, contributing to sustainable economic output and whatnot. MAGA did a great job convincing the gullibles, from all political spectrums, that nothing of value was done, would get done in the future, and that inflation was 100% not their fault.
You misunderstand my point. I'm aware of the all the things they did during the admin. I'm speaking specifically about what's happening now, and what Biden could have done if he used the power granted to him from the SC.
They did nothing to prevent this. They make laws. They did nothing.
40 million people are spending about half their income on rent. 71% of the adult population is housing burdened meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing alone.
People are not imagining economic pain, they are living with it daily and the IRA made things worse. Next skeet for how
The IRA awarded AEP Ohio a huge grant to harden the electric grid in Ohio in 2023. AEP did a stock buyback of roughly equal value before the grant was made to be fair. AEP Ohio used the grant money to do the work, not ratepayer money. Because they did the work though they were credited with >>>
That work as a capital investment enabling to increase rates and fees on consumers record amounts. I saw a 14% jump in my own electric bill simply from the increased fees (I have a 3 year contract so my rates are the same but those not under contract saw larger increases.>>>
So people spending half their income on rent saw their electric bill sky rocket BECAUSE the power company did work they refused to do with rate payer money for decades with taxpayer grant money from the IRA because of how Democrats structured that legislation. This sort of thing >>>
"Hmmm, the homeless trend was decreasing but started to increase in 2017. I wonder what happened in all those years."
He says as he passes MAGA signs in a neighborhood full of retired people who think their house is worth $400k+. He then buried his face deeper into his phone.
At the time the house and senate were as follows:
222R–213D, and 51D(48D, 3I) - 49(R). If they had enough to impeach Biden, they would have during those two years when people like MTG kept trying to get articles introduced.
What are we waiting for exactly? Dems have openly stated they hold no power in the house and senate right now. Pleading on MSNBC over republicans to get a spine!
Cases will get appeals and go to the SC, who is more than likely to back them.
What are you talking about? I don’t wanna give anybody this power. This country was set up specifically to block this type of power. What are you saying that it’s OK to be autocratic as long as Democrats are the ones in charge?Democrats were supposed to be the ones following the Constitution
I guess the real question for you is this: What are democrats contract with Americans? Was it not working to bring us the things we voted them into power for?
Trump is doing all the things he said he would do and now we're just like "Whose gonna stop him!"
Well, I agree and don’t. What we NEED to do is siphon away most of those voters by getting smarter about the story we tell. Most of them don’t want what he is REALLY offering. They just don’t REALLY know what it is. Dems suck at salesmanship and the high road on that front won’t save us.
You're not going to solve the US politician/party problem in 288 characters. It ALL needs to be blown up and me put in charge. And it only took 115 characters.
The only thing that makes integrating Canada into the US good is it’s 40 million people, w/ the majority of voters who aren’t MAGA idiots which could add 2 more Dem Senators & 53 more House members who will overwhelmingly be Dems which flips the House solidly blue & be 55 electoral votes for Dems
All of this is the consequence of dumbing down our population for fucking 50 years! Digging ourselves out of this self-inflicted negligent act will take that long, even if possible. I think it is time to accept that the empire is in decline. Other countries are stepping it up–new world order.
Teach people how to vote. In every single election. Especially special elections and primaries, too. We must stop holding our candidates to impossible standards while holding Republicans to NONE. 💙🇺🇲❤️
Yeaa. What are they to do they are just a small government entity….. you need to call them and apologize for asking them to do more. We cant expect them to play the same game as the republicans. /s
For real it’s not the voters. The dems did nothing to prove to its base that they were working for them. And are now fighting with its grassroots supporters. So who are they working for then?$
I understand that they are not in the majority of power but that dosnt mean they can’t slow this deconstruction at every possible step. Do more do better thats your job.
The bad musician starts to blame the audience...tell those Democrat congress people, if they can learn something from the street musicians...whenever they can say one thing right, people will toss them a quarter, they will all be honest millionaires.
Agreed. But we don't need that many. He didn't win by that much. The stay at home on election day people could have made the difference. Thanks to dejoy people lost faith in the mail system, for good reason.
And they're joined by the people who couldn't be bothered to confront their Republican family and friends because they didn't want "politics" to interfere with their relationships, but now demand the Democrats set their hair on fire and storm federal office buildings.
You mean the 36% of people Democrats didn't even try to win over? Yeah. That's a problem, but it's a problem with politicians rather than voters. It's literally a candidate's job to win voters over.
Sorry to say it but the lies and corruption will expose and take them out. When dangerous anti-science MAGAs are in charge of vital vaccines and convince their supporters not to take them, they and their offspring will get diseases and die and then only the intelligent will be left.
One of my relatives told me it’s the Democrats’ fault that the current president is in office because, “Democrats didn’t give me a candidate I could vote for.” Jaw drop.
Actually the Catholic Centre Party supported Hitler .. without them and a party called the DVNP he wouldn't have become chancellor, since the Nazis didn't have a majority in the Reichstag at the time.
The centre right party is spineliness and most are already caving, even without SA goons using the threat of violence to keep them in line. A small number of centre left party members begging them to work with the left has no effect
Yup. Personal responsibility is a thing of the past. At this point? No american is responsible for how they voted, how they didn't vote, why they voted or why they didn't vote. No american is responsible for anything. Except democrats. Democrats are the ONLY americans responsible for anything.
The Trump admin and Project 2025 architects, along with the tech billionaires are engaged in a seditious conspiracy to the destroy the government and subvert the Constitution, according to the LITERAL LEGAL FUCKING DEFINITION. Until they demand the military arrest these criminals, they can fuck off
The military wouldn't to begin with. Because low level army people just can't. It takes the higher brass to do that. And the higher brass is quite literally in on it.
I very much disagree with that. Most of the military's top brass are straight white christian conservative men. Because america has allowed that category to just walk into positions of influence. We're fucked.
As someone whose entire family has been active duty from enlisted naval men to nuke techs, to officers, to seals, to marines, commanders, admirals and everything in between: I promise you that you have literally no fucking clue what you're talking about.
As a black american who has watched every last government agency. Full to the brim with white men. Either refuse or not be able to keep trump from getting in office...twice (because of the rest also being white men). When it's literally their jobs? Nah. I know EXACTLY what i'm talking about.
I'll say in another way. White people allowed racism to continue being a core part of america so much and for so long. It filled the military's ranks basically with mini trumps. Over the span of generations. I mean how do you think we got here?
LOL I had a conversation where someone literally said 'we need to get rid of or just...I dunno like program people's brains to vote Democratic again' and everyone at the table just stared at her for a full minute while she didn't understand what was wrong.
You are wrong. The spineless Democrats had 4 years to remove this convicted felon who is literally destroying this country. Biden and Garland explicitly.
I have come to the realization that both Republicans and Democrats are two heads on the same snake. Dems throw scraps, Republicans take back the scraps.
Then you’ve come to the wrong conclusion. This whole two sides and they’re both kind of the same is complete bullshit in both reality and intent. Republicans are literal criminals. Democrats just don’t do the things you like. They’re not the same thing.
Definitely. Anyone who uses the phrase “wisdom and leadership of the Democratic Party” is irredeemably lost. They went out of their way to provide NEITHER. And now here we are.
Agreed for both parties it's give and take, Dems give a little and the Republicans take more. Both parties know nothing is going to really change. Many of us have become to lazy to really effect change.
The current Democratic Party doesn’t care what the people want, they want to win with their own agenda and, if they don’t, they are willing to watch this country burn to spite those who are actually on the political left.
I think the Trump Administration is doing a pretty good job at reaching a good chunk of those 300 million voters right now. Perhaps the country needs to fail to get to the rest of them.
Trump's administration or the mass amounts of media owned by billionaires are getting the propaganda spread. I'm not sold on giving it to them to prove our point line of defense. It sounds like it was created by the same billionaires writing the media responses.
it's a given in advertising that the more primitive aspects of the brain "win".
market to existential threat, sexuality, visceral identity & division, hatred. if you can tap in to that level and channel it, reason doesn't stand a chance.
And we can vote for AI!! So what if it optimises our street lights to change every 0.16 picoseconds and raises the retirement age to 7,890? Won't be any worse than the current circus of idiocy.
"You can pay a little to educate them when they're young, or you can pay a much much higher price later" is what my grandmother & mother (both educators) would've probably said about the shortcomings of our electorate.
It's no shock MAGA is now trying to kill the Department of Education.
Vote4Me is a new paradigm in democratic representation where we create a human proxy who can vote for you in every and any election. All you need do is nothing at all!*
*This message has been sponsored by your future overlords.
Trump told the world who he is on day one when he announced that he would run for president. He is a cruel and self serving human being. Examples abound. Yet 77 million people voted for him.
For 230 years the Constitution has been the supreme law of And now Trump has lit it on fire.🔥🔥.
It's amazing to me how americans think never enters any of this. Took years for people to stop wearing bellbottoms. But of course hundreds of years of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc has nothing to do with who ends up in power.
Not to mention voter suppression, gerrymandering, illegal Robo calls, outright scare tactics, people showing up at the polls with guns, ice showing up at the polls.
Community leaders and the elderly will be a hot commodity in the early rounds for a “win now” strategy but by the time the parties get down to the last 50 million rounds they’re just throwing darts at the board of Independents. The punters of the electorate.
I think that some are starting come around.
We need to welcome MAGA converts, rather than admonishing them.
When they realize the degree to which they've been hosed, they're going to be fighting mad and more than happy to be on our side.
This. We need them to march & protest with us. People must remain united.
On another note, they voted. Their votes were then 'disappeared' by various means. jmo
I seriously doubt he got those votes. Too much snark & bullshit involved that last week bragging he didn’t need MAGA votes anymore. Thief, liar, criminal, 🤢🤮 incredibly grotesque personality. Gag
Russian election interference is based mainly on making liberal voters disillusioned with the system and therefore not even bothering to show up to vote. It’s working and will continue to work
Or killer drones. Take out the voters. We had Harris. We had Oprah. A billion dollars of fun. MF voters let us down. Like those Gazans. What are Gazans doing in Gaza? It’s not that the uniparty is an amoral killing machine. An ossified diabolical horror. It’s the idiots that get in its way.
So, why are there so many billionaires donating to Democrats? And why did the new head of the DNC prioritize making a speech about how there are good billionaires on his first day? Billionaire propaganda has pushed you away from real progress by convincing you Democrats aren't part of the problem.
so the same cashholes that give money to the R's are giving it to the D's We're on the same page. American Politics has been captured and nobody is left to lead us.
I mean rich people play both sides. You are complaining about fire fighters while the arsonists set fire to everything. Stop acting like both parties are the same.
respectfully, I am saying that the entire American political system has been captured by wealthy political terrorists. Politician parties are irrelevant.
Replace? That’s not well phrased even as a joke. We needed to find a middle ground and address the fears and concerns in opposing values. A hard stance on either side then whoever has the most power, influence and money was going to win. We need a transparent, standard voting system with checks &bal
My daughter attended a private high school and she took AP US government. Unless a kid is up to AP class level, there was no elective option for US government class. I assume all the public schools are in the same situation.
I don't know whether this is on the Democrats any longer. They warned, they cajoled, they told us of the dangers that Trump represented ... Yet they went unheeded!
I'm disappointed in their treatment of Joe Biden, who was immaculate as President, but this predicament isn't on Democrats mostly.
The problem is our institutions have failed. GOP has become cancerous. DEMs are mostly weak and useless. The people have always been the last line of defense. We have to save ourselves. Bitching about leadership isn’t the answer. Shove ‘em aside and move past them
I just want to make sure that the election was legit. Based on what the South African has said and the orange ones’s response, I suspect irregularities, and those are nice words. It’s impossible, but I want a do over.
This! I keep telling people that, but they refuse to believe it's the party's responsibility to win voters.
It's crazy. There's millions of Americans struggling so hard they don't know who's president. We could easily win them, but no. They must be "evil" so Dems are acting spiteful. Shame.
You're kinda right! But it's the complacent and complicit Republicans who are the blame by giving the felon carte blanche to do whatever the hell he and Elon want to do.

But this is also unintentionally true. The problem IS voters as well. Don't see how ppl can look at the last 20 years and especially since the pandemic and not know there's something seriously wrong with the country.
My point is there is something fundamentally wrong with us as a country and it's been getting worse and it's not just about the failure of a party.
If you don't think there's something really broken about how we as a country deal with things outside of the parties I can't help you.
And, my comment did point out that we all know this is wrong.
They did not take the necessary steps to protect America from being taken over by fascist oligarchs
They had a duty to undercut King Cheetos messaging and they failed
Seriously... jokes are on Americans. Lol
I'm considering joining the non-voter party because I'm sick and tired of legitimizing our sham democracy.
Grassroots candidates raised up by the people, representing the peoples interests, is your only way out of this mess.
Stop anointing candidates.
But instead anointed ‘their’ chosen one!
S tier name BTW. Legit lol'd
To all of you, please never pretend to be the sensible and pragmatic option ever again, it's clearly not your thing!
You want to replace about 5 Frances, or about 3 and a half Germanies, of voters.
Humans are generally go along to get along creatures. Without inspiration they're not going to rise to the occasion. Leaders need to lead.
And there are only a few in the Democratic party right now showing actual leadership fire that inspires.
That's a fact.
The Trump will end democracy slogan was recognized as an immature scare tactic and fell flat.
MAGA pounded Biden from moment he took office. Hard to undo perceptions built over 4 years in just a few months.

One thing MAGA is doing to help the housing market is killing them by putting RFK in charge of the health department.
Granted. Banks will just buy it up and sit on them as investments. Just like the other 10.5% of vacant homes here.
Congress is letting him usurp their own power. Comer would have had an impeachment on the floor the next day.
222R–213D, and 51D(48D, 3I) - 49(R). If they had enough to impeach Biden, they would have during those two years when people like MTG kept trying to get articles introduced.

The centre right party is spineliness and most are already caving, even without SA goons using the threat of violence to keep them in line. A small number of centre left party members begging them to work with the left has no effect
Really sad.
I voted Harris and my boy voted Trump. We both just had an hour long conversation in the parking lot about how they both suck.
Trump was right about draining the swamp. I just never believed that’s actually what he wanted to do.
Someone honest 2028
yay <3

"Hey, wanna see me throw a rock at that stupid hornet nest?"
There is. They just don’t want to. People need to pressure them, and primary the ones who won’t fight.
Democratic Leadership failed.
market to existential threat, sexuality, visceral identity & division, hatred. if you can tap in to that level and channel it, reason doesn't stand a chance.
It's no shock MAGA is now trying to kill the Department of Education.

For 230 years the Constitution has been the supreme law of And now Trump has lit it on fire.🔥🔥.
Too many coincidences on election night with Elmo in his “vote counting computers” as per Trump! Trump ➡️ “we don’t need anymore votes”
Starlink satellites, magically going down, bomb threats, hell NO!
Convince me that “it’s the voters” It’s the corrupt regime
Community leaders and the elderly will be a hot commodity in the early rounds for a “win now” strategy but by the time the parties get down to the last 50 million rounds they’re just throwing darts at the board of Independents. The punters of the electorate.
We need to welcome MAGA converts, rather than admonishing them.
When they realize the degree to which they've been hosed, they're going to be fighting mad and more than happy to be on our side.
On another note, they voted. Their votes were then 'disappeared' by various means. jmo
I'm disappointed in their treatment of Joe Biden, who was immaculate as President, but this predicament isn't on Democrats mostly.
It isn't his fault entirely that the world was on fire c/o Russia. I hold criminal Netanyahu far more culpable. 😡
Well, also about 80 M voters.
What we need to do is reach the 34% of America that are eligible to vote but are not registered.
More people than voted for Mr. trump...
><
It's crazy. There's millions of Americans struggling so hard they don't know who's president. We could easily win them, but no. They must be "evil" so Dems are acting spiteful. Shame.
