Because those are the real colors?
They're gonna do nothing, run Newsom, and blame the left if it's even a close race
Newsom will run but these early contenders use to get creamed in the primaries just because they take up too much spot light in the lead up and people are sick of them come voting.
I could be wrong, newsom definitely seems like the play for the establishment guys. There's a bunch of lower rank guys in red districts that are making plays too, though.
Ill vote for a hamsandwich if it means trump is gone but I dont expect any major change. Major change will only come if the people do something, not polioticians.
Psa: Maga want you to stay at home and not vote. There are organized campains just to demoralize you and keep you at home in the next elections.
You know what demoralizes me?
That my 80 year-old parents are stuck in poverty no matter who we elect. They were poor under Obama. Poorer under Trump I, and then poorer still under Biden. They're 80 years old and driving for DoorDash, and no Democrat is going to lift a finger to stop it.
Then dont vote. I'm sure someone will be happy to decide for you.
You partisans have created a world where voting matters so little to most that, yes, they might as well not miss a day of work for all the good it does in their lives.
Hopefully the people can elect a few more Zohrans and Platners and thumb you all in the eyes a bit.
Then you will get more trump with tax cuts for the rich and tarifs for you. And spoiler alert, the zohrans wont win if you will not vote.
How can zohrans stab me in the eyes if the fcc or ice are cracking down on discent?
Vote while you can
They could abuse quorum rules or incessantly call for a point of order if they cared. Anything to slow down this fascist machine.
When Biden/Obama were in office they had the power to keep Congress in session indefinitely if they wanted.
But they don't care.
Democrats: Got any money?
No, but seriously. They are professional fumblers. They fucked up the last election hilariously bad by running Biden for so long.
Yes, my fellow citizens are idiots, but they should’ve known better!
Need to stop thinking about them as leaders and just people who arent good at anything but showing up for meetings.
So which Congress members have you voted for ?
... you want to rethink your question?
Not at all I'm asking a straight forward question. Which Congress members did you vote for? Or do you cower behind anonymity? The Democrats are shit, but they still apparently have the feck to show themselves instead of hiding and denouncing all without ever saying anything meaningful. The majority of the U.S supports right wing beliefs. You condiscend them as many of us do, but you cower and hide and ask someone to "re-think" their question when asked a direct question.
Who did you elect, and why.
How do you want others to help, if you show no brass yourself
uh what? I think the "rethink" might've been more of a "rephrase the question" statement. Voting for congress members is state based... which is an identifier and anonymity is the whole fucking point to platforms like this. "The majority of the U.S supports right wing beliefs.", citation needed because that's a very broad decree you're standing by. I'm not sure what the rest of your tangent is about but if you're trying to get a valid point across, it got lost in your tirade.
Please, post your address, first. Coward.
Spot on with this perspective.
They’re management on a nice suit insisting everyone show up for content that’s so exciting it’s better left to an email.
Now, I can’t unsee it.
Except AOC and Bernie, of course, they have their shit together.
imagine if people who were good at other things started showing up to those meetings
Nah that’s too much work. Shitting on the Dems on the intertubes is way easier.
They really should have - Biden’s struggles with dementia were common knowledge amongst his staff by 2022. There is no excuse for not holding a primary election in good faith, other than they don’t believe in democracy any more than Repugs do.
for real. they should be LITERALLY AND PHYSICALLY SCREAMING in the halls. When told “how unprofessional” they should respond with “my opponents are fascists. fuck professionalism.”
BUT since they are not burning shit down, one can only assume they are in on the fascism too.
Then do it
Political focus groups suggest that any opinion or stance on any issue may open a politician to criticism, so obviously doing nothing will yield optimal polling results! /s
The consultant wing needs to fucking die.
Well that’s true.
Oh look, more people saying look at the Democrats and not every single Republican.
... if I said what I wanted about the republicans you certainly wouldn't have to worry about me posting anymore.
Im certainly not trying to appeal to their non existent moral character.
Thats honestly not entirely true though. I did haplessly call on maga to look at trump saying america is "already great."
When they speak: "Oh, a sternly worded letter, that'll fix it"
What do you mean, they don't speak? They speak all the time!
Are you listening?
Voters: We want a lefty MTG, screaming at the SOTU and saying outrageous shit all the time!
[eventually gets lefty MTG screaming at the SOTU and saying outrageous shit all the time]
Voters: Not like that!
Democrats have been working for the past year to get IEEPA tariffs struck down, and it worked. Take that win.
And then two hours later Trump just said "nuh uh" and raised tariffs globally another 10%.
Not another 10%, a new round of tariffs at 10%. Notice how it's only that amount and not 150% because these ones are capped at 15%, plus these can only be in place for 150 days under the law they used.
This would be more apt if it was a bloated corpse with flies circling.
Maybe watch cspan instead of Fox? Mainstream media is Conservative or full Maga.
Democrats aren't doing much there, either. You're not wrong that the media ignores or actively attacks anything resembling leadership, because a progressive political agenda is a threat to their power structure. But there is still a dearth of leaders among the elected.
They speak the all important language of cashing donor checks from AIPAC and then doing Israel’s bidding.
This is the only answer. They are bought by corporations and do not serve the people. You are delusional if you think motherfucking Chuck Schumer is working for you.
they are doing exactly what they intended to do. what you want from them is another matter they are unconcerned with
