My favorite thing about our political system is that, no matter how hard Democrats capitulate, grift, and collaborate, they will always have people like you to make excuses.

There is a reason behind this lack of majority though: they’ve failed to energize voters

Also, Dems could have abused the reconciliation process in order to pass legislation too, but didn’t.

Republicans also just ignored the parliamentarian when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed during Donald’s first term.

First, they have no power due to minority.

They can filibuster. They could have forced a shutdown. They can abuse reconciliation. They can bully their opponents when they have power. They Congress and the presidency for two years and all they did was sit buy while people got poorer and angrier.

It’s time to stop making excuses. I want to see a Dem whose willing to talk for two days and piss their pants in order to stop fascism.

Like helping Donald avert a government shutdown.

They’re not even willing to make it inconvenient for fascists to take power.

Jesus, so many things.

• Stop simply handing out subpoenas and arrest Trumpers for ignoring them, and then go on every news show and hammer the message that Republicans are not above the law.
• Go after Joe Manchin’s daughter for being part of the leadership of a company that price gouges people for prescription drugs until he starts voting the way the party wants him to.
• Remove all of Kirsten Sinema’s committee seats so she can’t personally profit off of lobbyist cash, until she starts voting the way the party wants her to.
• Refuse to support genocide. Revoke aid to Israel.
• Have the president hold a press conference, every single day, Donald-style, where all he talks about are the things we can’t have because of the Republican-controlled Senate and hammer home the message that obstruction is the reason why food is becoming cost-prohibitive.
• Revoke any federal contracts to gun manufacturers that sell AR-15’s to public vendors, and make it very publicly clear that he will do everything he can to bankrupt gun manufacturers who do.
• Pressure RBG endlessly to retire while Obama has control of Congress.

And that’s just off the top of my head.

It’s astonishing that you’ve sat through six months of this presidency and you’re still able to gaslight yourself into believing that Dems had no power when they had the presidency and Congress. They just didn’t give enough of a shit to fight but the hardline fascists do.

Christ, Biden’s presidency did nothing meaningful except make people poorer and angrier, and made himself out to be an egotistical, demented buffoon.

They’re not useless. They’re complicit.

Yes you did. You just convinced yourself that your team was powerless when they didn’t do anything to stop it.

This app sounds exceedingly useful to me.

Always appreciate when people offer their opinion with a YT video. I’m definitely going to watch it. Thank you.

Not sure if he pushed the original measure but he was definitely instrumental in the compromise they attempted to insert into it.

Apologies.

Every time I mention I had a run-in with a homeless person, some self-righteous SJW discounts my experience and infers that I must have been in the wrong, though I was just sitting on a bus minding my own business on the way to work. My city has fare-free buses, so we end up having a lot of close encounters with untreated homeless people. (Also why I carry a stun-gun instead of mace, so if I have to use it there’s no chance of friendly fire.)

So I figured you were another one here to cast aspersions, and I have a short fuse with it for sure. My mistake.

That vote tally, though.

Go judge someone else. It wasn’t my decision to turn whole cities into mental institutions. It was Ronald Reagan’s.

I tested it on myself.

It works fine.

Interesting.

I’d honestly never heard about that detail before. I’ll have to read more about him.

Seeing as how there are always designated no votes in the Democratic Party at the Federal level, and you’ve seen this since the 90’s, I don’t think the TBI is the reason why he’s voting conservative. He’s getting personally enriched, just like all the other rotating villains.

Can’t even articulate an actual critique. Definitely a cop.

^ This guy is a cop.

Instead, you got brain-dead Mehmet Oz.

Quite the trade.
