MODERATORS
We know. Stop sounding alarms and do something. It's your jobs and why we elected you. Get off your asses senate democrats.
Too many leftists stayed home during the election. Now democrats don’t have enough elected officials to do anything. But you probably knew that.
Bullshit. The Republicans managed to obstruct even with a minority. Senate Democrats have no excuse for continuing to play along in good faith.
At least fucking filibuster everything, damn it!
Filibusters don’t stop anything. Just delay it. Republicans are able to obstruct by tricking progressives into electing republicans like Fetterman and Sinema.
Democrats are obstructing legislation in the house as much as possible but they don’t have a majority so their success is dependent on republican infighting.
I wish leftists knew how to win elections so we could get politicians that vote on leftist policies. But leftists are unpopular among voters and consistently lose elections.
It seems like every time a progressive gets elected they end up being a republican like Fetterman and Sinema.
I don't think that's accurate. I think progressive voters don't show up for the primaries so we don't get enough progressive candidates on the ballot. The primaries are where the party platform is shifted. It's how the Republicans got first the Tea Party and then MAGA.
Which is why we need the DNC to vet candidates as much as possible. So we don’t end up getting some democrat version of Trump through open primaries.
