Yet the "Both sides" group will still continue to say the Dems aren't even trying.
According to the article the Democrats are still helping Trump get these fascists appointed.
51-47. A few Dems is not the entire party.
Anyone down voting and arguing this point is an idiot without basic critical thinking skills.
If the few dems that voted to make it 51 was planned, then why didn't they pass them with just enough to make 60 with the older rules?
If the party wanted, they could take those Dems off all committee assignments and cut them off of all party funds unless they work with the party. Instead the party continues to support these people. This tells us those in charge of the party, Chuck Schumer and co, support their actions.
if israel wasnt obvious already. The old guard is basically just the republicans lite.
They’re fucking not. They could have done this exact fucking thing at any point since 2008, bUt tHAt wOuLD HavE beEn tOo DiVisiVE.
Do not pretend for a fucking second that the Democratic Party is in any way, shape or form competent. Do not pretend for a fucking second that the Democratic Party did anything but pave the way for this fascist regime with their ineptitude and greed, thus enabling the shattering of the American republic.
a very simple question: did it work?
all they have done so far are this kind of performative, petty, menial and ineffective resistances, yet on anything that has mattered, they capitulated.
please point me to anything effective they have done. so far the most hopeful thing i've seen is Zohran Mamdani getting the nomination, and the congressional Democrats still haven't endorsed him yet.
yes it did work. They delayed his nominations for a long time as the minority party. they did the most effective thing possible in the situation.
Aww I'm so proud of them. Good boys and girls, those democrats.
certainly better than l33t keyboard warriors and all they are doing to take back the country.
Im betting the Dem votes to increase cop budgets helps the on the street resistance efforts...
why would it matter to those that don't resist?
It matters to those who are.
In this very thread people are blaming the Dems for not being fascists themselves under Biden and Obama.
No. You’re deeply mischaracterizing the situation.
The Democrats could have, at any point since 2008, responded to Republican obstructionism with this very same policy. It has been brutally apparent for well over two decades that the GOP was not negotiating in good faith, and would never again negotiate in good faith. The Democratic Party refused to even consider employing even the most basic precepts of game theory. They continued to negotiate with a bad faith actor in good faith, and were somehow constantly surprised when said bad faith actor acted in bad faith. That’s not politics. That’s rank idiocy.
This is not fascism, ending the fillibuster is not fascism.
The Democrats should have done so when they were in government to try and implement the things they were elected for.
America's broken political system certainly had a role in it's slide to fascism.
Fascism is when you don't roll over for fascists in the name of norms, which the fascists don't have to follow.
Oh no they for Dec multiple votes, whatever will we do?
Fuck off. That's their performative bullshit so people like you keep thinking billionaires are two groups instead of just one with different colors.
If it's just performative BS, then why didn't they pass when it was 60 votes required?
It's also possible to acknowledge some Dems are bought by the ONE billionaire class and some Dems are actively trying to push back.
I know you haven't been told to think that, but maybe you'll eventually find someone with critical thinking skills that tells you how to think.
This is such a weird, arrogant thing to think. It's funny how you think this and you also believe the mainstream narrative.
Sure, buddy, nobody has ever told you "the Democrats are actively trying to push back"...
Please tell me more about how Democrats have stopped the descent into facism.
Oh wait... Lmao. Keep sucking billiiinare dick, I'm sure they'll throw some crumbs your way when the right billionaires* are un power.
Yep. The both sides people are sure helpful in all of this.
