That’s what happens when the country is being turned into a fascist state and people being sent to camps, while the majority of them are mumbling about midterms and trying not to rock the boat.
At this point they are complicit in the downfall of America. Although I’m sure they’ll be happy when they retire somewhere else in the world with a big bank account.
Jeffries is trying really hard not to understand how bad he is. In the article he’s quoted as saying something like it’s because of Trump’s policies that people are getting turned off. How intentionally oblivious is that. Everyone knows that it’s hard to stop Trump when you’re in the minority, everyone sympathizes with that. But everyone also knows you have a duty to try really hard, and you didn’t try at all, and that’s your fault. It’s time for you to retire.
How odd.
Maybe in Order to get BETTER Polling they should Slide FURTHER Right? They MIGHT be able To Get Democrats BACK if they just go FURTHER Right!
They just haven’t reached out to moderates and Republicans hard enough!!!
Maybe if they support genocide even harder, do even less to hold wealthy criminals accountable, throw even more minorities under the bus, and get a few more Cheneys on board, they will peel off exactly one republican vote.
Aw, who am I kidding? They would happily do that regardless of how few votes they got.
The poll surveyed 1,006 adults across the U.S. and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, at the 95 percent confidence level.
Not a very good poll, IMO. However:
Of fucking course their polling is low. They’ve sat with their thumbs up their ass this entire presidency. That’s after running a terrible presidential campaign, that came on the coattails of another terrible presidential campaign, that came on the coattails of a terrible presidency.
My surprise level: 0%
Yeah, because they suck as Democrats. They aren’t even good Republicans. They are just greedy, unappealing people who don’t have a conscience when they have to do their job of representing their constituents.
Democratic leadership also sucks so they would rather keep their like-minded predators than have anyone with empathy and personality gain a leadership role.
Sucks to suck, you bunch of grifters.
Good, give away two supreme Court seats, neglect to put protections into law and abdicate congressional authority to the executive is solidly on their shoulders. The Republicans have been very public with their goals for decades and the Democrats still insisted they could negotiate.
We’re going to vote for them again in the next election in the name of “harm reduction” or “being realistic” and they’re going to keep doing the same feckless shit over and over again.
You think we’re still gonna have elections by then?
Anyway, yes, harm reduction and dragging the overton window left is preferable . A company that builds crematoriums was an exhibitor at the Board Security Expo earlier this month.
But even more preferably, these old farts need to get primaried out.
democrats don’t move the Overton window left.
Letting the Republicans win went so fucking well this year.
What’s that about not learning anything?
most democrats are unaware that they lost because their fellow democrats intentionally didn’t vote and are also unaware that there were so many that there weren’t enough 3rd party voters make up the difference; so it’s pretty clear which politcal group isn’t learning anything.
No, we aren’t actually
trump is going to fuck it up again enough to make him lose the next election and there’ll be a democrat in charge for a while who will keep doing most of the same things as trump.
So let’s just throw away our votes to a third party? What do you propose instead of voting for the less bad option? What is something you or I can actually do?
Run for office and/or get involved in your local government.
Not something my schedule allows. That’s the point. If you can do it, more power to you. “Be a politician yourself” doesn’t always align with the goal of supporting a family.
no one knows has all the answers for what the right way forward is, but we definitely know what the wrong ways are because we keep doing them over and over again to “reduce harm” and here we are w fascists in charge and more in the future.
the only way to fix it is to get involved and even bernie & aoc say so; that doesn’t mean you stop supporting a family, it means you have to figure out what you can do to help and recognizing what doesn’t work so you don’t keep making things worse, like voting for the “less bad option” each time.
This is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Dealing with an emergency and all they have is old men who don’t have what it takes to take on the rabid GOP. Never understood why the US system is dominated by such old people.
They should just gate the whole American leadership and treat it like a giant old age home at this point
Tell them all that they’ve been sworn in for a lifetime and just pump them all with anti psychotic drugs, pretend that they are actually doing things and having meetings and just contain them all for the rest of their lives.
Seats on committees and chairmanships are determined by seniority.
Committees need to have more formal rules involved… The way they’re currently set up is poor at best
Only because that’s the way the Democratic party decides it is. Republicans don’t follow the same practice. These are informal rules agreed upon internally, not anything legally binding
One of the great “traditions” that’s been holding our government together like duct tape and bailing wire
And to get seniority you need to stay in office and to stay in office you need money and to get stable money you need corporate money and there’s always something they want in return.
