The post's criticism is that the DNC is ineffective at standing up to fascists, not that there's nothing desirable in their proposed legislation. Proposing laws that are guaranteed to be shot down is not an effective way of standing up to fascists.
The Dems are doing so little to maintain the political norms of our society that they appear to be ok with them changing. They look like they're just trying to make sure they each individually get to keep their seat. If that's in a sham legislature, that's fine for them. Bribes might be legal soon, so they're getting a sweet deal.
I would expect politicians to have better ideas than the ineffective shit they have been doing this year so far. Considering that I don't believe that politicians at the national level are all actually that dumb, it has to be on purpose. There's certainly DNC politicians who are sincere about wanting avoid fascism, but they aren't the ones who run the party.
Which of the bills you listed were about resisting fascism? I noticed two that were about actively capitulating to it (the ones aimed at disarming the populace), but zero that were about resisting it.
Fascism feeds on desperate and angry people. Economic reforms pre-empt fascism, while neoliberal economic policy leads inevitably towards fascism. Come on, this is basic Marxian analysis.
Dems are literally supporting a genocide. It's pretty effing gross to compare them to Mr Rogers.
For the record, I am against fascism. I voted against it.
There. I will now await full credit for fighting fascism. After all, I've now done as much as the Democrats have.
Edit: actually, I think I've voted against fascism more than Schumer has in the last year, so I guess I should get more credit.
Libs literally think that spamming their endless losses and fascist collaborations is an argument. Please post about more issues that libs and fash collaborated on. Big winners.
Now with [source][source] and
better structure
Category 1: 13 Bills Passed By Democrats in The House but blocked by Republicans in The Senate
2022 Midterm Election Note: Most of the above bills WILL pass in early 2023 if voters re-elect a Democratic Majority in The House and #JUST2MORE Democrats in The Senate. None of these bills will be brought up for a vote in The House if Republicans regain the Majority and either Kevin McCarthy or Donald Trump is Speaker of The House. Republicans need #JUST5MORE Republicans to regain the Majority.
Category 2: 3 Democratic Bills that became law with UNANIMOUS support by Democrats and minor support from Republicans in The Senate
Category 3: 1 Democratic Bill that became law with ZERO Republican support in The Senate
2022 Midterm Election Note: Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other House Republicans have openly declared that THEIR legislative priorities include none of the above. Instead they will say they will focus on:
The Republican and Democratic Parties are NOT the same. There is an almost total difference in policy. [source]: https://www.wamc.org/commentary-opinion/2022-11-04/house-votes-highlight-stark-differences-between-democrats-and-republicans
