So your plan is to give up, or try to change the Democrat party to move further left? A new party couldn’t place a member on the Presidential ballot by 2028. They have to hold positions in multiple states of lower positions to do so, and that would split the possible centrists from the leftists and guarantee another Republican win.

All excellent points against things I didn’t say.

Hating on individual Democrat members who drive the party Congress/Senate to the right makes sense.

There are “individual” members driving the party right in much the same way there are “isolated bad apples” causing the police to abuse their powers. I can count on fingers the number of prominent Congressional Democrats pushing left. Even the party leadership is pushing “right, but slower” instead of left at all.

Hating on the entire party just helps lose support for their party and thereby support the “true” villains as you labeled them.

If someone sees a post online saying “Democrats should do more to fight against Evil Republicans when they eat orphans for fuel” and their takeaway is “But I don’t know which Democrat specifically should have done more! Guess I’m voting for the orphan-eaters. 🤷”… then I would argue the post was not the problem.

Because if the Democrats had done those things, these people would be swinging at the end of ropes right now instead of ripping said copper.

The Republicans have been telling us basically my entire life (and I’m at the “joints no longer work” phase of old) They Were Gonna and the Democrats (who, due to the perverse structure of our government, were the people in the best position to head it off) have Charlie Browned the football that entire time. Are we supposed to just ignore that now that they’ve squandered whatever leverage they might once have had?

I get that the “true” villains are the Republicans, but the number of people left in this country who don’t already know that AND will listen when told is vanishingly small.

If you want to see how your Senators voted on this: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00318.htm#state

I misread that as “state police” and had almost the same thought.

Are we using the word “family” to mean “piles of random women he solicited to receive his sperm through the mail” now?

That’s a picture of the body of Benito Mussolini.

Their bodies were left in a heap, and by 9:00 a.m. a considerable crowd had gathered. The corpses were pelted with vegetables, spat at, urinated on, shot at and kicked; Mussolini’s face was disfigured by beatings.

Love that they spent the last election cycle screaming about how this is the end of democracy and life as we know it and now that it’s actually going down the response is… resolutions of inquiry.
