Typical. They ignore their members who are screaming "grow a spine, we're losing because we aren't fighting!" Literally for decades, then after they lose it all, contritely act like there's something nobody could have seen coming they now have to learn from.
What, you didn't see the consequences of letting the senate leader block a supreme court assignment for a fucking year? It never occurred to you they'd turn right around and seat the Republican assigned one within 24 hours?
Unprecedented? Really? You have a house election victor who still hasn't been seated after a month and the Republican ones were seated within 24 hours. I haven't seen one iota of fight in you fucking dweebs. They stop you when you have the majority, but you can't do fucking anything when they have control. You guys fucked us over more than the Republicans did. At least we knew what they were doing. We expected you to fight for us and you fucking folded every single time, while telling us you would stand up and fight.
Now the only way were getting those Nazis out is full on military uprising, and anybody with a fucking clue knows it.
When Biden was like "we have too much respect for the country to pack the court" and privately they were saying "the polling doesn't look good for us" I lost hope and realized we were going to lay down right in front of a steamroller. Mad frustrating.
What exactly does "fighting" look like to you in this context? You keep repeating that word without explaining what you mean by it. Because I kind of feel like this is what it looks like: Making plans to regain control of the government and try to stop this sort of situation from ever happening again. It might seem boring and too little too late, but it's exactly how the Republican party got where they are. They spent decades planning and scheming and stacking the deck in their favor. You can't undo that overnight.
Do some of the same shit the Republicans have been doing for ages any time THEY are in the minority.
There should be a daily press briefing with Pete B, Bernie S., or Alexandria O.C. that's covered by every journalist who's been kicked out of the white house. Call that shit "The American Way" briefing and compare the events of the last 24 hours of trump BS to the constitution and the declaration of independence.
Obstruct every last piece of illegal garbage the Republican Nazis are trying to get away with loudly and publicly.
Put themselves OUT THERE in the public eye as AGAINST FACISM and go full-on captain America on those Nazi Republicans.
you definitely can, just take out their funding. the majority are roaches in it for a paycheck. no paycheck and they go back to running scams in their hometown
And how are you going to do that?
yes
Oh, I dunno... How's Trump doing it?
Kiernan got to it before me. It looks like what the Republicans have been doing since the contract for america. Block them. Use every parliamentary trick possible. Make up new "norms". Twist every word they say, every action they take into the most absurd, evil, or stuipid action. When in power, pass laws that make evil shit harder. Reinstate laws that make lying about news and politics by a large corporate propaganda machine like Fox illegal.
The first time Republicans "negotiated" in bad faith, they should have hit them hard politically to let them know they would not accept that shit. Instead, they went passifist and rolled over to show their bellies.
