People are storming the streets and town halls, Elon is dissolving the whole country and Trump is busy tending Putin’s toes. Where the fuck are the democrats in all this crisis? It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with “told ya dis was gunn happen” drawn on their face.
Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain’t getting any news.
Nothing. Democrats are fucking useless. They have no power now because they blew the election in every single way possible. They did literally everything wrong. It was almost as if they tried to lose on purpose.
People always try to claim I’m an asshole for saying democrats are just republicans other division.
They try to claim I’m saying bOtH SiDeS. No. I’m saying there aren’t two sides. There’s republicans, and republicans disguised as democrats. Just there to give the illusion of choice. You don’t have choice. You have corporate masters who own the media, who decide what news you see, they own the land, they own the companies. The republicans are there to be the ticketmaster, and take all the blame. The democrats are there to be the band performing at the local concert hall. To give the illusion of hope.
Well besides Pearl Jam, and maybe a handful of others, every band likes ticketmaster. They get to raise their prices, ticketmaster takes the heat, and the customers still pay. It’s like pro wrestling. The good guy and the bad guy are fake fighting in the ring as a showcase of the battle for all to see on a public stage. Then they go back to the dressing room, and they’re buddies. Once they’re out of public eye, the good guys and bad guys are all the same. Sharing family photos, having a beer. All part of the same system.
Just look at the country. Democrats take one step forward, three steps to the side, and then republicans push them back three steps. Gradually over the coarse of time republicans make advancements in their agenda, and it holds. All of the democrats advancements get erased a few years later. We’re still living with NIXONS signed bills. We don’t even have most of Obamas signed bills anymore.
And its because they were never meant to last. The democrats give hope, and a few years later after nobody is looking, republicans cancel it. Meanwhile republicans sign a bill and it’s there forever. And yet…no serious 3rd party has ever come about. There’s never been a 3rd party in my lifetime that anyone (who wasn’t an oblivious baffoon) ever thought had a serious shot at winning. It’s all the same system. Just like pro wrestlers are all working for the same system, politics is all the same rigged system. It’s all owned by corporations, and big money interests. Your vote means nothing. Regardless of if your guy won.
The best thing that Democrats can do is come up with a popular governing vision and then storm back in the 2026 midterms.
Personally I would think this would have to compromise on immigration and the worst culture war excesses of the left, while emphasizing support for the working class and most importantly good governance.
They clearly haven’t capitulated rightward enough yet. You’ll gain nothing by abandoning solidarity with even more voters, but at least you’ll get the sheer joy of throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus.
class > race > “gender”
Really? Gender in quotes? Stop trying to attach your bigotry to progressivism.
Yes gender in quotes since there at least 7 different definitions floating around, some in the dictionary for decades, some floated on Tumblr circa 2012.
Yes gender in quotes since
Since bigotry.

You’re blatantly wrong. AOC lives to grandstand and pander. Just like mamabear Pelosi, she kept REALLY quiet about everything (including the ongoing genocide she voted to keep funding) when her team was in power.
Cast your attention to Rashida Tlaib if you want a real one. AOC is as fake as professional wrestling.
It turns out that when you take all of the power to do anything away from someone, they can’t do anything 🤷♂️ who could have possibly seen this coming?
Conservative parties have frequently been the minority party but have consistently been able to obstruct, block, and fight against progress because they fight dirty. The Democratic party has always been the party of “we can’t sink to their level” or the “at least we aren’t the Republicans” party. If they were willing to be aggressive at all, we would still have Roe, minimum wage would be higher, and green energy would be the norm. However, the Democratic party has been content to be the party of not rocking the boat, or the party of the status quo, rather than the party of Republicans and Democrats have worked together to give rise to these freaks.
Well, they certainly didn’t help by running a candidate that got destroyed in the only primary she ran in. I’m hoping they will step up and run some solid candidates next round. It’s fucking embarrassing they lost to Trump…twice.
Based off their reactions to every thing that’s being going on it seems to me that they have learned absolutely nothing.
If the 2028 election was happening tomorrow I think the Democrats would lose again.
They’re already posturing Pete Buttigege to be their next chosen one. I wonder if the dems will even bother with primaries this time around.
Pete Buttigege
Jesus christ. And when he bombs they’ll go, “everyone wanted a younger candidate!”

The worlds on fire and they’re worried about the color of the wallpaper.
