I just finished rewatching "The Good Place" and can't help but to think the Good Place Committee were written in a way to make fun of democrats.

It's a pretty spot on representation.

I wouldn't call them weak and ineffective. I'd call them corrupt and compromised.

They don't roll over because they're weak - they roll over because that's what the donor class pays them to do.

Exactly. They seem exceedingly effective at what they do - enabling the absurdly rich to become obscenely rich.

If there are any Democrats who don't call their party weak and ineffective, they're the ones responsible for that.

New members that want to run should be running on reversing citizens United and reversing everything this guy has done. And charged all ice agents for terrorism.

They could at least show some solidarity with the people who are actually putting up a righteous fight like Jack Smith and Zohran Mamdani.

As a registered democrat, I also call the party weak and ineffective.

If you actually think Democrats are doing a good job then I have a beachfront property to sell you.

Every time a Democrat tries to enter a ICE trafficking facility and is turned away without a fight, demonstrates a lack of spine. As it is, there is no point in the party.

Zohran the Destroyer is needed, as is AOC and company.

Yeah they should show up with large armed guards and push their way in. They have a right to see what's going on.

The way they do it, it's just some old people knocking on the door.

Once you realize that the dem party doesn't actually want to make any real changes, then you stop being surprised and confused about this.

Not shocking that a party isn't against things like big business when thats where they get their money from

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
