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.
Fuck, pick at least 1 and I don't get paid $200k with life time benefits and insider knowledge.
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.
Aipac bought them, neither side will ever go against evil jizzrael
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.
They cannot do half the shit on your list even if they held a majority which they do not.
They could publicly announcs they will and actual support those that do.
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.
They're active participants in the fascist take over. They normalize fascism and act as controlled opposition to keep those who would oppose it out of power and out of the conversation
Can always count on centrists to gaslight anyone to their left.
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.
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.
"Hey listen, the wild bear is the one mauling everyone in the school. Blame the bear! Yes, we placed honey in the open door and smeared the children's faces with fresh salmon, but it's the bear that is eating the children. Please donate to help me scold the bear."
I don't like comparing Trump and co to wild animals, simply because they are so much more malicious.
Hard to argue that. But Trump et al are significantly stupider than bears, so it probably evens out.
Hey remember those bear proof trash cans that turned out to be tourist proof as well? How long do you think it'd take Trump et al to open one?
Does "et al" include a bear?
No, they would not stoop so low as to join him.
