Yay! Public masturbation instead of actually fucking doing something. What happened to impeaching the shit stain that keeps desecrating the constitution?
In fact, the impeachment resolutions have already been filed, and they are going to get just as far as this bill. So I don't understand your complaint. For example.
A basic understanding of arithmetic and calendars...
Who was saying wed impeach before midterms?
Trying to do that, wouldn't change anyone's mind.
Trying to do this, something most Americans want, forces Republicans and neoliberals to go against it, which hurts them in primaries/mid terms.
If you don't understand why people are doing something, just ask bro.
That's how we learn.
No... a basic understanding that they're bought and paid for by the same billionaires and always follow their masters' orders. There is no chance in hell that this will happen at all and meanwhile they're changing the subject from Epstein and Iran to this. Fucking shills... every single one of them.
I know...
I just explained why it still matters...
In your mind people can care about more than one issue, but no more than two at once?
As we've both said, Dems don't have the votes. And I think we agree that not all Dems would vote with us if it came to it... So what do you think they can do about the other 2 issues? Wouldn't we want to highlight as many of Republicans failures as possible in case not all voters agree about the other two?
They complain that Dems don't do anything. We say they don't have the votes.
Dems try to do something. They complain that Dems tried to do something.
It's almost like these people don't really care what the Dems do or don't do. It's almost like their goal isn't to improve the Democratic party, but that they have some other agenda.
I mean...
For the last 30-50 years, "the dnc is working against us" was valid...
It's just at no point does anyone teach people how our political system works. People know enough to know it's stupid, but if it was possible to change the system from the outside, Bernie would have tried it by now. Or any of the people that keep trying would have succeeded by now.
The only way to beat the system, is thru the system.
Right now we have a level playing field at the party level, that's fucking huge.
And if that lets a progressive to the general and into the oval, they get to name the next DMC chair.
The reason there's such a big push against the DNC, is if progressives grab the reigns, we'll hold them for decades. A constant cycle where progressives keep winning and keep controlling the party, decades (if ever) for Republicans to recover post trump.
We're so fucking close. And as much as people point out the bad parts of history repeating, we're coming up on FDR. And that's the real reason the rich are scared.
They can get off of their collective fucking asses - every single one of them - and not say anything about anything except Epstein and the Iran war every single day, 24 hours per day and force the narrative to be that Trump is a pedophile and treason-weasel who should be treated as such. They could do almost anything that isn't another version of sucking his balls.
We tried that, it's not enough...
Dem voters need something to vote for.
Even the DNC realized this over a year ago man...
I mean, this isn't sucking his balls...
So we're cool here now, right?
You see the value in this?
Lifting millions out of poverty wages isn't "masturbation". Wealth inequality can be traced to several problems within the country, and can be directly linked to several factors leading to the election of Trump.
It's never going to happen... not even if we had a Democrat president.
I hold no faith in the political process, so I'd be inclined to agree. The only way to ensure a living wage is to organize a union. We can't wait for crumbs from the ruling class.
It's "not a top priority".
It’s the same party? Democrans and Republicrats.
