democrats will never win another election again for the remainder of american history
“It puts the neoliberalism on its skin or it gets the fascism again.”
"We're not going to do anything, get fucked haha"
"Also vote for us in midterms"
Truly the mindset of a compassionate party that cares for its constituents.
And when you vote them in they won't do shit to improve the lives of Americans either.
That is, if there is another election.
Meanwhile Chris Murphey went on PodJohnsPodJohnHour and said that Democrats are quiet because people keep calling them on the staffer office lines and telling them to kill themselves.
The US Opposition is hilarious. These people really thought they'd defeat fascism in 2016.

Depending on whether these are angry chuds gloating or legitimately mad marginalized people venting, (un)critical support.
Look what you made me do - the political party edition
"Cruelty is the point"
It puts the Gaza on it's skin, or else it gets the Trump again.
YOU HAD NO PLAN TO STOP HIM OTHER THAN SIT IN THE CHAIR AND WAIT UNTIL THE SUN BURNED INTO A CINDER AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN MANAGE THAT
The chutzpah on this fucker

People said this about the GOP in 2009
yeah and if Obama had had one moment of courage or any interest in 2009 it would have been true
The liberals who said that in 2009 underestimated the explosive energy of American White Nationalism, all the dems have to fall back on is an exhausted coalition, that many democrats are now actively attempting to tear apart for the sake of spite
The Democratic Party is closer to a genuine death than we think, I doubt they'll be a major party in ten years
who's learning the lesson and feeling the pain? the trans people dying or the immigrants being deported? cos they're both not gonna be there to vote for you in 4 years, dickheads
but sure, don't do anything about anything and I'm sure the public will suddenly flip for ya
but sure, don’t do anything about anything and I’m sure the public will suddenly flip for ya
democrat's haven't done shit besides token gestures for the last 50 years and most americans still vote democrat.
most americans still vote democrat and yet the gop controls the house senate judiciary executive and most state governments lmao
yep; the problem is that they don't vote all the time because our ruling class & republicans alike don't want them to vote.
I think more Americans are registered democrats but more Americans tend to vote Republican when they actually vote
the republicans are a reliable voting bloc; the democrats are not.
it's also true that there are more registered democrats than republicans.

it seems the context of this call was democratic governors such as beshear trying to push senators to do more to obstruct the trump administration in its efforts. he specifically says they should focus more on the lack of material efforts to improve the lives of the american people by the trump admin, rather than a "desecration of american democracy".
in that light, i think the tone of the quoted section is more sympathetic, that the american people 'will' have to deal with the harms of trumps admin, in order to be more conscientious of how they vote in the future.
i think he still misses the mark in that not only do the democrats need to point out the material harms, they need to present efforts of material gains as well. but the tone of the conversation was not governors are trying to inflict maximum harm to their constituents as some sort of 'revenge'.
The Republican response was crazy, but I don't think the implication in posting this is to suggest Beshear was encouraging Democrats to stand aside and allow the Trump admin to run rampant (or worse, exacerbate things themselves), it's just further evidence that the Dems are still blaming the public and assuming that the whatever the Trump administration succeeds in inflicting on them is a lesson to "vote correctly" next time. There's no sense of awareness of their own errors.
it puts the peepee on its skin or it gets the poopoo again
They'll never apply this metric to themselves
Maybe the reason so many people voted republican or sat out is because the Democrats are worthless genocidal ghouls? Maybe a lot of voters realize that? They never learn.
The tenacity of institutional democrats in their refusal to learn anything ever is astonishing. There's zero self awareness, zero interest in learning from this, zero interest in growing forward, just pouting about how they deserved this win because they were the less shitty shit sandwich and the iron will to try that same approach until the heat death of the universe.
This is pretty standard Democratic talk every time a hyped up Republican president gets elected. The same shit was said about Bush Jr. You’ll hear this again when the next Republican ghoul is elected president.
Not wrong. Live and learn.
we are being punished
