So sick of the Dems being cowards. They allowed SCOTUS to overturn the 2000 election without a fucking peep. They allowed Moscow Mitch to run roughshod over them. Now they're allowing Alito to do the same thing. Are we sure they're actually working for us๐Ÿง๐Ÿค”

I'm increasingly convinced Democrats letting the Republicans steal the 2000 election will be understood as a major turning point in our country.

Agreed but it's only one incident of many. Ford pardoning Nixon. Reagan, Shrubs Sr. and Jr. not prosecuted for their crimes. Dick Cheney, not prosecuted for his crimes. The Wall Street bankers, not prosecuted for their crimes. And throw in the ridiculous impeachment of Clinton.

It's certainly one step of many! I just think it's the biggest leap towards decay, if that makes sense.

Yes it does. Call it the culmination of the previous rot.

You have a great point there.

In all the years that they had majority rule in both the House, the Senate and the White House they haven't done anything to give the majority of the whole U.S. what they overwhelmingly want. That's because they have TWO faces. One that says they can't and one, we don't hear, that says they won't.

The Democrats, if they actually wanted to win, would make billionaire Trump owners like Singer and Crow and Carl Icahn and Bob Mercer into the "faces of the Republican Party".

Were Paul Singer's business history even incompletely exposed, it would sicken a large majority of this nation's voters, even right-wing ones.

Yea, the one think Americans agree on is disliking rich people and corruption. It would be a winning strategy, but I think individual politicians view themselves above the party. Pissing off rich donors would surely loose them donations. That's just my assumption.

Are you talking about the same democrats that sponsor a holocaust and invite the 21st century polish hitler to congress?

The dems that are corrupt to the core and bought by a foreign agency?

The ones who will wage forever war in Ukraine to fill the pockets of their donors?

The ones that blew up nord stream in a terror attack and wrecked Germany's economy?

The ones who dismantled free speech and yet preach about the orange fascist being worse than their fascism?

The ones who threaten to stop the world food program, and starv millions of children, because they can?

Yeah, they definitely gonna save the day... /s

Democrats canโ€™t fix everything alone. Itโ€™s not sustainable. They canโ€™t be the Progressive party and the Conservative Party at the same time. Our democracy has never worked that way. It takes the second party to operate in good faith in order to get anything done about a sitting lifetime appointment and have any hope of democrats willing major elections.

We don't need a second party๐Ÿ™„ Progressive ideas are incredibly popular NATIONALLY. The Conservatives have to cheat to win because their policies suck. Haven't you figured this out yet. It's a scam.

The majority of people donโ€™t vote for policies they vote based on their emotions. See the facts and the reality we live in. Itโ€™s not a scam itโ€™s human psychology.

Dude, it's a fucking scam. You actually think the Democrats are working for us๐Ÿคฃ They're working for their corporate masters. They had 50 YEARS to codify Roe. Still no universal healthcare. Through Israel has it thanks to our tax dollars. Biden is against it. Biden is also against expanding SCOTUS. He's building Trump's wall and opened up more of Alaska for UNNECESSARY oil drilling. His crime bill has caused immense harm to POC and he signed on the bill disallowing student loan debt to be discharged via bankruptcy. Which contributed to the student loan debt crisis. His latest immigration policy tracks with Trump's. Clinton signed NAFTA decimating blue collar areas. He also repealed the Glass-Stegal Act leading to the housing market crash. Obama didn't prosecute Shrub Jr. or Dick Cheney and their cronies. He also allowed the corrupt Wall Street bankers walk free. The Democrats allowed SCOTUS to overturn a free, and fair election without a fight. They also allowed Moscow Mitch to run roughshod over them much like they're allowing Alito, Thomas, and Roberts to do so now. Reagan wasn't prosecuted either. He meddled in his election by making a deal with Iran to hold on to the hostages until after the election. The ruling class owns the politicians, the judges, and the security apparatus. Our cops have been heavily militarized and they're building cop cities around the country. In other words we're fucked.

This is exactly what autocrats would want you to believe. Everyone is corrupt, the system is broken, youโ€™re powerless, โ€ฆโ€ฆ and only they can fix it. Itโ€™s called a โ€œfalse dilemmaโ€โ€”itโ€™s a classic logical fallacy and propaganda tactic.
