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.
- Stop approving his cabinet members.
- Stop any finance bill.
- Stop any sales to Israel.
- Push candidates with a plan to stop kid rapist.
- Sure up their base with a plan.
- Say what you will do with the new broken rules.
- Abolish ICE
- Tax the wealthy
- Ban stock trading
- Ban Citizens United decision
- Expand the court or destroy its ass
- 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.
Bare minimum is all people want to see.
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.
“Hey listen, the wild bear is the one mauling everyone in the school. Blame the bear! Yes, we placed honey in the open door and smeared the children’s faces with fresh salmon, but it’s the bear that is eating the children. Please donate to help me scold the bear.”
I don’t like comparing Trump and co to wild animals, simply because they are so much more malicious.
Hard to argue that. But Trump et al are significantly stupider than bears, so it probably evens out.
Hey remember those bear proof trash cans that turned out to be tourist proof as well? How long do you think it’d take Trump et al to open one?

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.
Voters made sure to put them in the minority in all levels of government.
The Dems are like the Keystone Cops bungling around while a wannabe dictator continues to take America apart.
Even if the Dems had decent candidates, their strategy and tactics are ineffective.
It’s like we get the worst of anyone who wants to be a politician, either side of the aisle.
Almost like it was all rigged, something trump admitted out loud, more than once.

Simple reason is…it takes a ton of fucking money to run a campaign. Even small county judge races cost at least 50-80k. How many good, down to earth people can drop their job, spend 80k on campaign shit and get out alive?
Even with party money, you’ll still be struggling. Plus, who wants to be holden to the same old bullshit system?
Democrats were recently caught having a fund raising scheme so corrupt that it should be a capital offense to run such a thing. Those spammy text messages we were getting asking for donations? Turns out 98% of the money donated to those went straight into the pockets of consultants. The party’s primary reason for existence is not to advance policy goals, but to steal money from liberal donors.
I mean, Mamdani and Bernie proved that this is a very solvable problem. Small dollar donations are more than enough to get a candidate with popular policies into victory.
Very good points. It’s why money needs to be taken out of politics. Many other countries have figured that out.
Citizens United really was the nail in the coffin for American politics.
100% agree. If we do have a landslide in 2026 without MAGA’s cancer. Maybe we can end Citizens United!
Democrats have been campaigning on and doing nothing about Citizens United for years.
Exactly. Because they’re not prepared to do what’s actually necessary - reform the filibuster to allow it to be removed. Democrats have all these high-minded plans, but they all require a margin in the Senate they will never reasonably achieve. And even if by some miracle they did get 60 seats in the Senate, there will always be a rotating villain to throw a wrench in the works. Mamdani won not just because he had plans, but because he had very specific plans. He could tell people exactly how he intended to pass those plans. Democrats don’t actually have a plan for repealing Citizens United. They just have vague notions about repealing Citizens United.
It was only very recently that the US legalized paying a wage from campaign contributions, too.
Anyone with enough brains to be an effective leader has fucked off into retirement. Nobody wants to renovate the Titanic when it’s already halfway underwater.
The Titanic has the largest military force and nuclear arsenal on this planet tho
Who cares about ratings when you don’t need elections?
I knew the American public was fucking stupid but I didn’t think they would continue declining this quickly.
You saw/read handmaids tale? It’s that. That’s the goal. And I’m not making a joke.
