The people who run the party are an unbelievable group of out of touch losers. It’s really incredible
This is a conspicuous edit. If he’s talking about followers in the caucus/congress then he’s right. I’m too lazy to find the full clip.
I always wonder what the percentage of politicians is who are performance artists knowingly misquoting MLK and posting stupid tweets like the one above and ones who are actually that dumb.
honestly that letter may work. people don't really understand how close saban and manchin are obviously does nothing about the sinema problem but still
- Dems fart around the first two years after regaining power - Chuds win mid terms - Another couple of wasted years - Chud wins 2024 PE - Dems blame progressives - Dems win power again the cycle continues
Although I don’t want it to happen, I will get a little satisfaction if republicans in AZ overturn the election and it cost Cinnamon her seat in the senate.
You don't have to worry about her coming anywhere near getting re-elected in 2024. If she even runs for that seat, any loss would be wholly legitimate.
All of these purists should be arguing for a return to real filibusters where you have floor speeches until you drop. Not the email filibusters of today which are essentially minority vetoes.
If you want to filibuster you need to stand up there and read the dictionary until you piss your pants like a real goddamn American
There is no Republican Party platform. They only serve to maximize suffering and protect the wealthy. You can’t directly campaign on those issues so they just try to make their voters hate everybody else and everybody else hate GOP voters. It is no way a functioning party of realistic democratic governance. The only way it can sustain itself is to lean into fascism.
Destroy people's faith in gov't, make America worse for 2 years, blame it all on someone else, win the presidency, make America worse for 2 years by giving the rich, corporate elites everything, Dems win house promising it'll be different *this time*, America gets worse for 2 years, Dems win Presidency & do nothing, cycle repeates :chefskiss:
Only if the Dems do something they want to undo. The filibuster is a Republican tool. It favors them. They can pass massive tax cuts for the wealthy and gut social programs via reconciliation. They’ll replace any parliamentarian that disagrees. They don’t need to do anything else.
