WTF Dems...?
Stop enabling a tyrant. This is gonna bite you in the ass quicker than you thing.
Then they'd piss off their own donors too...
You know when the last big cut to the federal workforce was?
The 90s when Clinton was in office.
You know what trump was doing in the 90s? Donating so much to the DNC that the Clinton's came to one of his sham weddings.
If you want to know why neoliberals aren't opposing Donald Trump, it's because they've literally been working together to destroy the federal government and replace it with oligarchs for the last 30 years.
So stop acting surprised already, and start opposing them.
Say it with me:
👏 Democrats👏 are👏 not👏 coming👏 to👏 save👏 us👏
Our only chance are the leftists that are too busy arguing semantics and refuse to work together! Aw shit.
Including some people who label themselves "Democrats."
Ah but bipartisanship. Mr. Hitler will surely see sense any day now, if we're polite and reasonable and try not to anger him.
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."
Democrats would rather be fascists than fight fascists.
But when you try and run a campaign as off-brand, Mr Pibb, diet-fascists..
Fear of reprisal.
Once all these confirmations are done, you may see senators that voted against mysteriously fall out of windows.
Oh please, even Democrats who did vote for these unqualified fascist will get thorium poisoning.
Appeasement will not save anyone from the night of long knives.
The only way anything she says will have any impact is if she start getting the army ready to launch a counter-coup, or else starts building a leftwing militia.
No amount of not-nice wordsmithing and congressional wankery is going to work -- we're past that point now.
The best time for that would have been several years ago, but... hey, I mean, do it?
Agreed. It has gone too far.
"But both parties are not the same" they screamed as the country burned and the elites on both sides of the aisle lined their pockets off the backs of their suffering constituents.
Come now children and give me your downvotes and paragraphs of bullshit telling me I am wrong.
They may both be shit, but they arent the same....
I mean we're talking just on paper at this point when the Democrats are enabling these neo-Nazi assholes and not putting up meaningful opposition.
I've defended people for both siding shit but damn at this point when you've got Democrats passing Laken Riley Act, which allows immigrants to be deported for being accused of fucking shoplifting and Democrats not only voting for Trump's neo-nazi, dog killing, environment killing nominees and then going on air and waximg poetic about the votes for them. What fucking shitty opposition party is this? It's not.
Your right, both parties are not the same, ones worse as a enabler of abusers, they're more pathetic than Trump's Republicans.
Respectfully i disagree with where you went with this.
The devil is in the details as the saying goes and nuance and minute differences as well as intentions and purposes all matter.
Enabling is not worse than driving an outcome. It may be that the enablers are worse in some instances, but driving the worst outcomes is always worse than taking advantage of it when it's happening.
It's always worth it to get to the bottom of events and understand as much as is possible instead of just labeling things as "close enough so it doesn't matter" that's just going to l lead to enabling in w different way.
"They are both the same so i voted for the ones i find funniest, because they both the same"
Pot meet kettle
