    By not fighting the current despot’s plans? Are they hoping to hurt us so much we will turn up at the polls? WTF are they doing to earn our confidence?

    Replace these sick fucks with AOCs and Kat Abu type people.

        I still think we should vote for them but unless they actually pursue policies that take away the ability of Republican state governments to oppress people were all just going to be some dumb sad assholes in November 2032 because President Buttigieg lost to Elon Musk after four years of getting jack shit done

    Oh, is that what we’re gambling on? The goldfish memory of the American electorate?

    These fuckers think elections will mean something by the Midterms. Which is not unexpected but still disappointing.

      It’s still possible that they will. The incompetence of the current regime even in executing their fascist dreams is… immense.

      However, if midterms do mean something, it sure as shit won’t be because of any competence displayed by the Dem leadership in this time of fucking crisis.

      What interesting fucking times we live in.

    These DINOS are completely dependant on what the GOP has the done the last administration in order to become electable. more like dinos are completely codependant on GOP, and vice versa. they are hoping to scrape by on some wins so they grift and receive “large gifts” from the same donors. thats why they dont push on heavy raising taxes, or UBI, or healthcare the DNC would lose all thier political capital that way and become unelectable, just enough to wet peoples apetite. while the gop just can use hate, and fearmongering to get elected.

      That’s what we said about Roe and the GOP but here we are. Let’s not forget FDR was elected four times.

    And then they will fumble the ball like always. The U.S. needs a better political system, but I’m not holding my breath that that will happen, ever.

      Yeah, they’re trying to stop that too…

      H.R. 3040: Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act:

      Mr. Hamadeh of Arizona (for himself and Mr. Begich) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on House Administration

      A State may not carry out any election for Federal office using a system of ranked choice voting under which each voter ranks the candidates for the office in the order of the voter’s preference

        They’re all for States’ Rights, until those rights are different from what MAGA wants.
