    I mean, I’m souring on the Democrats because they haven’t fucking done anything to divert us from this disaster.

      Well, no, but let’s not forget they did a whole lot to contribute to it. Remember Joe Biden? Yeah… We could have had Bernie.

      When they get the ball, they won’t play offense. When they lose the ball, they won’t play defense.

      Dems are perfectly happy with feeling smug in their political moral superiority and their insider trading. Why take power, and have to work hard? Chuck Schumer would rather compose stern letters to people who can’t read.

      The Dems are fairly low on my list of the blame game. But they’re still on the list!

        They could do the bare minimum.

        1. Stop approving his cabinet members.
        2. Stop any finance bill.
        3. Stop any sales to Israel.
        4. Push candidates with a plan to stop kid rapist.
        5. Sure up their base with a plan.
        6. Say what you will do with the new broken rules.
        7. Abolish ICE
        8. Tax the wealthy
        9. Ban stock trading
        10. Ban Citizens United decision
        11. Expand the court or destroy its ass
        12. Rewrite the constitution

        Fuck, pick at least 1 and I don’t get paid $200k with life time benefits and insider knowledge.

          Stop any sales to Israel.

          Ha. They’ll never do that. It’s the only policy they didn’t abandon when they got pushback.

            Bare minimum is all people want to see. That is why I want democratic socialism but most people are scared off by socialism.

              What is called “democratic socialism” these days mostly just amounts to a market economy with a reasonable level of social security and public infrastructure.

                I genuinely don’t understand why it’s proponents call it democratic socialism. That name will immediately turn off a lot of Americans. Should have called it democratic patriotism or something.

              Democrats would rather have permanent dictatorship run by a pedo than deliver the bare minimum.

          I would like to see Democrats publicly proposing that we will hold ICE agents accountable, with a plan that would actually work - we rendition them to the home nations of their victims.

          SCOTUS is so corrupt that the US justice system needs to be bypassed entirely when bringing ICE agents to justice. But if you’re an ICE agent that is operating a concentration camp where Venezuelan citizens are killed? Your ass should be sent off to Venezuela for trial. SCOTUS will doubtlessly protect the Nazi thugs, but Venezuela will hold them accountable. Let them rot in some hellhole prison down there.

          I want politicians to be talking about this now, to make clear that crimes against humanity will not be forgiven or forgotten.

        The house is burning down. I’m obviously blaming the arsonists, but I’m also lying blame at the firefighters who decided to not do their duty.

        They’re very high on mine. They created the conditions that allowed Trump to take power. They’ve fought tooth and nail to keep everyone who might have been able to prevent this disaster away from the levers of power. The Democrats are the rachet preventing the rest of the country from stopping (or gasp reversing) the Republican-led march to fascism.
