Imagine complaining about the plumber who tried to fix your leaky pipe with a paper napkin, and have someone saying you are scapegoating them. It’s their fucking job to prevent this.
Believe it or not, getting votes is also part of their job. It’s an integral part of the system and usually works if they actually try to represent us.
Let’s be honest, if ten years ago taught us anything it’s that the public would probably blame the Republicans for the shutdown. They keep shutting the government down, getting blamed, losing elections as a result, then forgetting and once again shutting the government down. Why the hell should the Democrats save Republicans from the consequences of their own actions?? You know Democrats aren’t going to get any credit for keeping the lights on when they swoop in and vote with the GOP on their asenine budget. Why would you rather take the high road in order to help the Republicans than take the low road for once and let the GOP’s obvious lack of ability to govern bite them in the ass? What kind of a Democrat goes out of their way to save the GOP from itself?
But Democrats won’t take the blame, we’ve been through this before and that concern almost never plays out. We’re gonna pull our punches because they’re already pretty unpopular and, what, that’s good enough? Are you kidding?
Why didn’t they win with a landslide? Was it because they stopped talking about relevant issues, capitulated on issues like transgender rights and immigration, ignored outcry about literally paying for a genocide, and preferred to associate themselves with centrists and “upset Republicans” instead of progressives?
It’s mostly because of millions of democrats and POC being purged from the voting registers weeks before the election in every single swing state, and therefore being ineligible to vote.

They were doing a good job before the voters cut off both of their arms by giving MAGA majorities in the house and senate and the presidency.

How is giving police departments, now working to enable the authoritarian agenda which WE ALL KNEW THEY WOULD DO, even more money “doing a good job?”
You’d rather they shut down the government indefinitely and do what MAGA is tasking Musk to do for them?

DOGE is already pretty unpopular for everyone but die hard MAGAs why would you swoop in and do that job for them and take the blame?

Just because you said it doesn’t mean I agree with you.
There was no right choice with the continue resolution. Both outcomes were shit and cause pointless death and suffering.
So be mad at the people who wrote it.
Yes there was a right choice, as shown by the polling I literally just linked. You’re supporting the wrong choice.
EDIT: Sorry I didn’t realize you weren’t SatansMaggotyCumFart, but please see the links below.
If they were doing such a good job historically, they would have gotten more votes.
What do you mean?
They barely lost.
Why didn’t they win with a landslide? Was it because they stopped talking about relevant issues, capitulated on issues like transgender rights and immigration, ignored outcry about literally paying for a genocide, and preferred to associate themselves with centrists and “upset Republicans” instead of progressives?
It’s mostly because of the racist and sexist democratic voters that voted for Biden but couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a black woman.
