I disagree. The republicans do win on every hate filled thing they want to do and encourage. Actually running a country…did the ever even have a plan other than concepts?

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

i don’t know, republicans goal seems to be to prove that large government can’t work, by sabotaging it at every turn, and looting tax payer money by the trillions. so yes the republicans consistently deliver. and honestly the democrats have the same want, they just need to pretend to not want that, so they also deliver, slowly
Yep, should say Republicans deliver. Democrats win in backlash.
Meet the new boss Same as the old Boss
what?
the GOP delivers every time, Republicans just never bother actually reading what they are voting for
project 2025 made it pretty clear
dems lie constantly and spend 80% of their time middle grounding it or fixing broken shit from the last repub but how anyone can look at Trump currently and think Biden was the same is lmao
Not just Biden, the entire party. They had no issues with trump tripling ICE budget. Once they get back into power they will do very little to roll back anything Trump's done
doing nothing or literally being a ham sammich is still miles better than the last 5 regressive repubs we’ve had
The problem is in the normalization of the policies the last Republican left, paving the way for Republicans to expand on those terrible policies once back in charge
- Dems win
- Dems control nothing else, blocked at every turn
- Dems fail to reverse some of the damage
- voters abandon them as imperfect, choosing worst-case option
- GoP damages things further to help their rich friends
FTFY
Dems control nothing else, blocked at every turn
Except... We've had periods where this is absolutely not true. Cycle still holds.
Stop finger wagging at the people voting and maybe address the real problem here.
In the past they have had a majority with context that some of the Democrats are only with the party because 90% of the Republican platform is malicious intent.
And in brief periods when it's not true, they do something that benefits millions of people and then gets dismantled over next years by the next admin. Meanwhile everyone fails to see the difference between "doing some small good" and "doing a lot of bad" and elect more evil people because the small good was too small
"Democrats arent respsonsible for their failures"
It's always someone else's fault
Yup. Like, look, i grew up in "the earth is 6,000 years old, gay people go to hell, and science is a liberal conspiracy to serve satan" christianity that is a core of the republican party. I despise them as much as the next guy. But for fucks sake, Dems make it very hard to support them.
Dems blocked by their own rotating villains in order to protect the status quo
FTFY
They are helping rich friends of the oligarchy, which is bipartisan
Now put me on a plane so I can put 'em in a hearse!
Exactly what I heard next too.
Bitches love cannons.
Really makes you question whether the vibes or the backlash have any power in the world
Ok so the theory goes that the GOP is secretly occupied by the most vicious Dems, the Dems control both parties.
During the civil war, it was the northern Republicans who wanted to abolish slavery and adopt the most leftist posture. The democrats in the south seceded.
After losing the civil war, the Dems vowed to wage a secret forever war in the congress. They did this by infiltrating the GOP and gradually steering it towards rabid facism which, by comparison, made the Dems look left wing. The Dems could then push and pull the center wherever fit their aims and narrative. They could enact and enforce the most racist and classist policies by proxy of the GOP, and then 'fail' to prevent them as the Dems.
By dominating positions of power within both parties, they could gatekeep access to both. Shuttle the hateful extremists to the GOP, funnel the ineffective, flaccid liberals to the Dems. That's why the Dems have been the most vocal opponents of effective leftists.
The GOP needs an aggressive coup to return it to its leftist socialist roots, a party who isn't afraid to meet violence with violence again to counter the democrats' subterfuge and drag the nation back towards its liberal, egalitarian and class-concious destiny.
