How come Republicans can break any laws they want and obstruct everything Democrats try to accomplish when they're out of power, but Democrats are powerless to inhibit Trump even slightly?
I know it's just a meme, but that's how it is. Meanwhile, democrats can't do a single thing without half or more of the party getting up in arms
how is that image relevant to what is being said
So you just don't read now? Cool
No, you just posted meme that wasn't related
Because MAGA and co are doing things that are unprecedented. And when democrats try to do anything, not only are they strong armed by MAGA, but the people thelat are supposedly on their side complain that it's never good enough.
It's literally impossible for Democrats to win when one side hails one person as king and the other can't even decide on who may possibly be good enough to think about doing the right thing
Uh huh, and what stops Democrats from trying something unprecedented?
Because we don't have a messiah that we blindly follow regardless of the rules or how people feel.
We tried to make it easy with "vote blue no matter who" but that still wasn't enough for yall
If we had someone who was willing to do unprecedented things to fulfill their campaign promises I think we would follow them.
Instead, when Democrats win they are unable to do anything because of Republican obstruction, yet when Republicans win Democrats are unable to stop them. It's literally impossible for Democrats to win when they aren't even trying.
You tried to make me vote for genocide. I'd rather kill myself, and I don't mean that hypothetically. I'm trans. Republicans are going to kill me, and I'd rather fucking die than vote for more genocide. I don't know how anyone could listen to Hind's last words and say "yes I'll vote for more of this" instead of thinking "I deserve to fucking die for supporting this demon country."
So, as soon as a perfect candidate comes along you'll vote for them? Congrats. You just proved everything i just said correct!
You know who doesn't have to follow all their campain promises and can just do anything they feel like doing and their party still laps it up and asks for more? You're never going to guess what I say
Trump voters voted for him because they love him, not because they vote red no matter who.
That said, I'm pretty sure voting is over and we're not going to be doing that shit anymore.
Time to do something else.
That's exactly been my point. He can do anything he wants and still gets the pass. We do not have that person, and are weak because of it.
And y'all, looking for that someone to love in response and not accepting anything less, let the man who will cause untold amounts of pain and suffering to who knows how many more people have free reign.
Most everyone voting for Harris wanted the genocide to end. And we would have had the leverage after the election to make change. Especially if you guy would join our side and help be that positive change. Guarantee we would have backed you as nobody wants to see dead babies.
But now that's not possible. The time to do something else is absolutely correct. The time to hunker down and prepare for the worst while waiting for it all to drop in here. Thanks to your fractured support
He gets a pass because he wants the same things and they like the things he does. The fact that they're getting their faces eaten by leopards is a price they're willing to pay, because ultimately what they want is to hurt people. It's grievance politics, their political dreams only revolve around revenge.
Democrats want different things. If Democrats had a candidate that wanted the same stuff as the base and did stuff the base liked, they'd be popular too.
And what did the Party do?
They sabotaged their only popular candidate in the 2016 and 2020 primaries, and Democrats were forced to vote for a candidate they didn't like to stop the Republican. It worked in 2020 because of COVID, but without a national crisis it's not possible for Democrats to win this way.
It's the Party's fault. Place blame where it belongs.
Y'all said the same shit about Biden in 2020 and it wasn't true. They already got our votes. All of our leverage was gone.
Once they win they can tell us to pound sand.
So your plan is to wait around and do nothing.
The usual plan, then. That's all you ever do.
So what's your plan then?
Labor organizing. We run this country and we can shut it down.
Awesome. And I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Any day now...
I'll just be here, waiting and gathering supplies until we start organizing properly.
If only there was a word or two that properly represented that...
