    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.

      1. Stop approving his cabinet members.
      2. Stop any finance bill.
      3. Stop any sales to Israel.
      4. Push candidates with a plan to stop kid rapist.
      5. Sure up their base with a plan.
      6. Say what you will do with the new broken rules.
      7. Abolish ICE
      8. Tax the wealthy
      9. Ban stock trading
      10. Ban Citizens United decision
      11. Expand the court or destroy its ass
      12. Rewrite the constitution

      Fuck, pick at least 1 and I don’t get paid $200k with life time benefits and insider knowledge.

        Stop any sales to Israel.

        Ha. They’ll never do that. It’s the only policy they didn’t abandon when they got pushback.

          Bare minimum is all people want to see. That is why I want democratic socialism but most people are scared off by socialism.

            What is called “democratic socialism” these days mostly just amounts to a market economy with a reasonable level of social security and public infrastructure.

              I genuinely don’t understand why it’s proponents call it democratic socialism. That name will immediately turn off a lot of Americans. Should have called it democratic patriotism or something.

            Democrats would rather have permanent dictatorship run by a pedo than deliver the bare minimum.

        I would like to see Democrats publicly proposing that we will hold ICE agents accountable, with a plan that would actually work - we rendition them to the home nations of their victims.

        SCOTUS is so corrupt that the US justice system needs to be bypassed entirely when bringing ICE agents to justice. But if you’re an ICE agent that is operating a concentration camp where Venezuelan citizens are killed? Your ass should be sent off to Venezuela for trial. SCOTUS will doubtlessly protect the Nazi thugs, but Venezuela will hold them accountable. Let them rot in some hellhole prison down there.

        I want politicians to be talking about this now, to make clear that crimes against humanity will not be forgiven or forgotten.

      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.

            Joe Biden has run for president so many times and had never really gotten close to being nominated because he sucks. For his entire career he has been one of the shittiest, most conservative, most bloodthirsty democrats who loved every project in which he could work with the good folks across the aisle. He finally got the gig (when he was losing his mental faculties) because the media, party, and cowardly electorate couldn’t stomach Bernie Sanders and nobody liked the rest of the field. (Harris didn’t even make it to the first primary elections.) A coordinated drop out and endorsement of Biden of everyone but Biden before super Tuesday sealed the deal. Some people associated Biden with fond memories of the Obama years, but nobody really thought he was an inspiring candidate. I’d bet if not for covid 19, Trump would not have lost.

            But I’m supposed to pretend he was the next FDR or something because of some bare minimum infrastructure and industry bills. Give me a fucking break.

      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.

      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.
