We’ve decided to rename the Democrat party to Republican Lite in order to appeal to more voters.
I’m wondering where are the big names in the Democratic party and the left?
There is a palpable atmosphere of fear coming from a large population in America and there is silence from the “opposition” party. Why isn’t Obama and Michelle organizing and speaking at rallies? Why aren’t other prominent Democratic leaders not trying to rally support for a genuine resistance. Not the resistance of 2016, which I feel failed due to no true national leadership from the Democratic party.
Maybe this is happening and I just don’t see it, but it sure feels like the national Democratic leaders and influencers just threw up their hands and said “well, we’ve tried nothing and we are all out of ideas. You’re on your own to figure it out. But remember, if your leaderless pent up fear and anger turns to violence we won’t support you.”
I’ve been wondering that as well and I had a kind of scary thought; maybe there is no opposition party this time around because what’s happening is exactly what all parties involved want to be happening. I’m just so baffled by the state of politics in the US that I can’t help but to feel like we’re witnessing some kind of sea change in the fundamental structure of the government. Unfortunately it is not a progressive or thoughtful change in ideology.
Those dinosaurs have had too much time already.
Step 1: put AOC and Bernie in charge
Step 2: Let em go ham
At least do…something.
They had 12 years.
That dickhead got roasted for “concepts of a plan”, but just when you think the Democratic party can’t get any more pathetic they go and show how hopeless they are. AOC needs to break and start a party with Bernie.
It probably wouldn’t take much to get Omar and Tlaib on board either.
Spoiler alert: it will be “send us more money!”. That’s what they always settle on.
Spare some change?
DNC staffers resign with Kamala Harris campaign $20M in debt
Nailed it. This is and always will be the dem’s platform.
They’ll figure out some way to reach across the aisle and meet in the middle.
By the time they’re done reaching it’s gonna look like they too are doing a Nazi salute.
This would make a good cartoon.
Oh no, they may be forced to put out likable candidates?
Or treat the left as though they are voters with agency?
Am I so out of touch?
No, it’s the voters who are wrong.
Both? Both.
Filibust everything.
Democrats kept the filibuster around for this reason, right? They didn’t just keep it around to prevent progressive policy from passing, right?
Gee. Maybe they should have come up with one some time between 2015 and now.
“Personally, I don’t want to give Republicans an inch on their claims they care about national security after their pardons,” said Murphy, D-Conn. “My hope is that we’re going to be down on the floor and on TV and back in our states talking about the danger of these pardons.”
At least there’s someone awake at the wheel

Yeah if they were a real party for the people they wouldn’t need to search too long.
They wouldn’t have lost either.
Pelosi tanking kneecapping any attempt to curb congressional insider trading certainly didn’t help. Nor did funding a fucking genocide. Their continued subservience to donors over their voters drives people away.
