part of the issue is that some leftists don’t want to accept that the bipartisan nature of elections is so embedded into our culture that we must take one step at a time. Harris was hardly ideal, but stagnation is preferable to flat out regression. Labels are important in America. I firmly believe Sanders hasn’t gotten more popular than he already is because he uses the label of ‘socialist.’ it scares some the average American.

“She was unqualified” so… a former prosecutor who served as vice president for 4 years was ‘unqualified’ based on your candidate’s smear that she allegedly slept her way to the top… And what were DJT’s qualifications in 2016?

“I find it so fucking comical that there were mother fuckers genuinely dying on the hill that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump were the same evil last year.” Because, having sunk cost fallacy in their opinion means they can’t admit that their viewpoint has changed or is wrong. They are too invested in that view.

That’s because every major or meaningful win the democrat party has gotten in the last 8 years has also come with massive concessions. The best thing they ever did was get a trifecta in the house senate and presidency and do absolutely nothing with it while allowing for the supreme court to legislate from the bench the whole time

Like ffs Hakeem Jeffries is the real grifter, he made this big fucking show of setting a filibuster record just for the OBBB to pass with flying colors, ive seen better opposition to the OBBB and the genocide in Gaza just from MTG tweets

It was always going to pass, he knew even the filibuster couldn’t do anything, it was about making people aware of what republicans were doing.

Bro u have to understand policy and how to craft it. Just because you have a trifecta doesn’t mean that you should pass the utmost progressive agenda. They got a lot done in Bidens term and the time before 2008-2010 they passed the most impactful piece of legislation in modern politics. Just because you don’t support a bipartisan endeavor doesn’t mean it wasn’t productive

As #1 states, the filibuster wasn’t to stop the bill from passing. They spread awareness and kept the immediate passing of the bill which made the bill less popular and started the downturn of trumps approval

I take the ACA as a win for sure that’s why I limited my statement to the last 8 years. They provided a decent amount of opposition throughout the first Trump term, but Trump still got the Wall and the tax cuts, and they let Trump steal the court appointee to replace RBG, which has been extremely costly. Most of the Biden wins were pandemic recovery based, there was definitely good in there, but civil rights absolutely took a back seat and he all but damned us to a second Trump term by

I don’t think she would’ve been as antagonistic as Trump, but there is a great chance imo she wouldn’t have stopped the genocide. I mean, she didn’t just not run on it, she avoided the topic almost altogether

All your claims regarding trumps term are invalid. Dems didn’t have a choice since everything you listed was prior to midterms. The RBG nominee wasn’t the Dems fault but rather mcconnel and his refusal to hold a vote. I agree with blaming biden partially but civil rights took a backseat since our economy was failing. You can’t promote civil rights until you have a stable economy that’s just a fact. You are upset abt Jeffries yet he encouraged media involvement and town halls. He can’t force 1/2

Yeah, I guess it doesn’t make sense to put all the blame on the democrats for everything that’s happened when it’s largely just failures to adequately respond to the opposition breaking the rules, it just feels like there’s no point in putting any of the blame on the GOP bc if we do manage to get back in power, the consequences will be even less effective than those of 1/6

I just have a hard time giving credit to a party that had to spend its entire time in power doing recovery work only to have said recovery undone by the very people that they failed to adequately prosecute for undermining our sense of a collectively shared reality

It’s hard to have hope I get it. But if we lose hope then we have already lost :). I agree that we likely will only be able to recover 80% of the damage that has been done so far. However, destruction always is quicker than rebuilding. Hopefully, this allows us to institutionalize programs that benefit everyone in more meaningful ways
