I mean, I'm souring on the Democrats because they haven't fucking done anything to divert us from this disaster.
They do seem to be pointing fingers at their voter base…
Yes, it's what they do instead of introspection.
It’s our fault for not agreeing with their donors. Look at how many CEO’s and Billionaires Kamala is friends with, and Dick Cheney. She’s even friends with war criminals. What’s wrong with you?
Worse still, they seem eager to contribute to it. Just look at all the 2028 hopefuls lining up to validate Republican talking points about immigrants and trans people
Well the Overton window has moved so far to the right that the Democrats now sit where the Republican's did 16 years ago.
And they're still chasing republicans rightward.
They’ve had a bunch of long talks on the floor of congress.
When they get the ball, they won't play offense. When they lose the ball, they won't play defense.
Well, no, but let's not forget they did a whole lot to contribute to it. Remember Joe Biden? Yeah... We could have had Bernie.
The Dems are fairly low on my list of the blame game. But they're still on the list!
They could do the bare minimum.
Fuck, pick at least 1 and I don't get paid $200k with life time benefits and insider knowledge.
Ha. They'll never do that. It's the only policy they didn't abandon when they got pushback.
They're very high on mine. They created the conditions that allowed Trump to take power. They've fought tooth and nail to keep everyone who might have been able to prevent this disaster away from the levers of power. The Democrats are the rachet preventing the rest of the country from stopping (or gasp reversing) the Republican-led march to fascism.
If Joe Biden had put Donald Trump behind bars on his first day of office for the January 6 attack we wouldn't be here right now. Everything good he ever did is irrelevant because he failed to stop the coup
I wouldn't even blame him if he had honestly failed, but he didn't even try
Why would he try?
The Democrats banked on the idea that Trump is the easiest candidate to win against, despite Clinton loosing to him in 2016. And it was clear with Biden. He wasn't voted because people liked him. He was voted because people were dissatisfied with Trumps first term. And Biden managed to fuck up so badly, that people rather chose Trump for a second round than to deal with Biden or Harris, who stated explicitly that she will do everything like Biden.
The Democrats thought that Trump is perfect as he lets them get away with being the worst version of themselves and they'd rather see another Trump presidency than actually provide good policies for the people.
The house is burning down. I'm obviously blaming the arsonists, but I'm also lying blame at the firefighters who decided to not do their duty.
Dems are perfectly happy with feeling smug in their political moral superiority and their insider trading. Why take power, and have to work hard? Chuck Schumer would rather compose stern letters to people who can't read.
