Hah! Well played!
Suck my balls. They're not going to do shit. They've learned absolutely nothing.
They'll primary AOC before they "Street fight" republican fascism. And the fact that they're still making this about Trump and not the Republican party as a whole is extremely telling.
They've learned from the GOP that you can be very financially successful saying you're the only group that can do anything to help...with just a little bit more money.
Then every time you try and do something, it fails because you didn't have enough money, and blame everyone else.
That's like dems whole deal.
It's how both of them work, Trump's emails are structured the same way.
"Donate today or a [person from a political party] will eat your baby! Only [candidate] can stand up to the mean ol' [other party]."
Then 3 days later, video of the two opposing candidates sitting together, laughing, sharing a bottle of scotch, and their spouses sharing recipes at an event.
Yeah but gop actually does more work to destroy than dems do to move left. So in my mind donating to gop is actually value if you're a d bag.
Moving left and destroying rule of law are not, by definition, opposites.
Building resilient, rights respecting, widely trusted, and protective institutions is the opposite of tearing it all down, and Dems haven't been good at that in 30 years other than Obama doing a lot to boost up OMB to utilize data and evidence in decision-making. And just look how that's going at this point.
Yeah that summarize how I feel. Dems idle center while gop is in fact doing work. The worst possible kind but a GOP supporter is probably happy.
Oh according to the article they're excited to ... Work with Republicans on key votes.
So they're going to do something, they're going to help the people they said are destroying our country.
This better be a literal street fight.
This better be the fucking street fight from Anchorman with a hand grenade and a circular saw and a dude with a claymore.
Fuck a street fight, I wanna see a drive by shooting.
Fingers crossed.
I'll believe it when I see it.
If we could harvest the Dem leaderships lack of energy to do anything we might be able to create vacuum energy or antimatter.
Wait... Are they admitting that they were just coasting before? Like, what the fuck guys? The GOP has been in full partisan war mode for 17 years. And you guys are just now realizing you need to get off your ass?
Also, the call to get off your ass is because you think they're going to reach out for votes on key bills? After all this you're still on about bipartisanship?
No. You let them fuck it up. You run ads about them fucking it up. You put their dysfunction on a fucking stage for the world to see. You do not rescue them. They would not rescue you. They have a trifecta. If they cannot pass anything with a trifecta that's a good result for you. (For anyone worried about the filibuster, it doesn't apply to budget bills, they don't need Democrat votes to fund the government)
Let them be hoisted by their own petard.
So what are they going to do? Write a strongly worded letter?
An aggressively shaken fist in their general direction.
Now now! Whatever happened to civility?
We should not stoop to their level.
Maybe theyll offer a compromise that only gives them 90% of what they want instead of 95%, that'll show them
There's no such thing as a finger-wagging street fight, Democrats. Sorry.
aoc shouting WORLDSTAR
Oh, they are still around?
Democrats used neoliberalism.
It made Republicans laugh.
I almost don’t care. They need to figure out what the rest of the USA wants and prep for the next election.
Next election?
Kinda funny how people think this could still be voted, discussed or reasoned away. Get a grip and look around, the Gleichschaltung is in full swing. Camps are being established.
Sadly, this is true.
More meaningless rhetoric as the camps are being opened. Fuck the Dems. They were supposed to protect us.
Don't get me wrong I despise MAGA but holy cow, Democrats are spineless cowards.
Start the Guile music!
I want to see some Nazis get hadoken'd
