It still baffles me that Cory Booker spoke through the night to inspire people…and then voted to confirm Trump appointees anyway. I do not understand what goes through these people’s heads.
Performative Politics.

You think he was lobbied directly for the confirmation?
Not directly, but the democrats are a right wing bourgeoisie liberal party, so they essentially serve the interests of capital
The interests of capital eventually leads to imperialism and when that starts to crack (<- you're here), fascism. Unless the actual socialists win.
And you know what? I don't think socialism had a chance in yankee land. They have spent decades upon decades brainwashing the population in a highly compatible fashion. The highest point of American radical action is just some adventurism terrorist shit that doesn't do anything. Ask Americans to actually organize and do vanguard action and they'll screech at you, because the bourgeoisie media and education has made you an slave inside your own brain.
So yeah, democrats or whatever. Why does it matter if fascism comes in 9 years or 4 years, you guys are straight up fucked.
If you live in yankee land, emigrate your ass before you lose your ass
My most generous reading of democrat inaction is that right now their only power at the federal level is obstruction in Congress. This obstruction may eventually lead to government shutdown and this would be the greatest gift you could give a dictator.
Let's just say that some ICE agents and DOGE maniacs will keep working because they are in it for things beyond money, so to speak.
In plenty of countries the Democrats would be considered a right wing party, the US does not have a true left party
I was just telling a friend, both sides want the same thing, money. The difference is, one side is willing to kill for it, and the other side is always willing to look away.
This is such bullshit.
Democrats aren’t fighting Trump.
That’s the joke…
every time i bring up the DNC railroading Bernie in 2016, i get brigaded by status quo idiots
They did the same in 2020 then did away with all pretenses of input in 2024 and just told us who the candidate was going to be
...controlled oppostion doesn't sound as dirty, does it...?
Bernie threatens their way of life, which is making money doing nothing of note.
Shouldn't that tell you something? Both parties share the same end game, they just want to go about it differently. They want to win and we have to lose to make that happen. Bernie actually wanted to fix the problems Americans deal with. None of the others think you deserve it.
Becau$e
They make more money ‘fighting’ trump.
When fighting Bernie, Dems are fighting with a base that is already aligned with them - ie one that they do not have a strong fear of alienating with their positions or attacks.
When fighting Trump, Dems usually fight with the idea that there is a significant group of 'moderates' which can be swayed in this country, and thus cannot be offended under any circumstances.
The problem is that there are 'moderates' in this country that can be swayed, but that the civility politics approach of the Dems does jack shit to lure most of them. They vote on vibes, and Dems try to avoid any vibes at all, to be the most milquetoast, least unacceptable choice possible to present.

They should seriously reevaluate that because they have and they continue to alienate large numbers of people. This is an undeniable fact at this point.
No argument from me on the rest of your comment except for one small thing. The moderate that they're chasing is a mirage, and doesn't actually exist in the way that they think it does. These "moderates" don't actually hold moderate views when questioned about what they believe and what they would support. Progressive economic policy positions are overwhelmingly popular across the board, and many who call themselves moderates tend to have socially conservative or even regressive views.
They haven't even considered that maybe 50% of the US population doesn't vote because they feel like neither party has their interests at heart!
If they swung further left and got an actually progressive candidate who wants to fix the problems in this fucking country, I'm willing to bet everything that they'd win.
Hell, what got Obama in office was precisely the fact that he campaigned on hope and progressive ideals! He didn't end up sticking to those ideals though, but that's another story.
Democrats don't work for us.
democrats need more irish
I know what you're trying to say. But Barney commands in army of five-year-olds. There was a story a few years back about these kids attacking someone dressed in a Barney costume because they did not sound like Barney.
Barney is more frightening than the realistic looking T-Rex
I get what you’re trying to say, but a real Tyrannosaurus rex is far more frightening than that.
Republicans... Dems... All brought to you by aspiring billionaire oligarchs to NOT do their job for YOU. Learn to spot the progressive agents of change, and pay close attention to who blocks them the most fiercely. The status quo is the enemy.
