Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)

To all of the people here saying Democrats won't use this, I agree. However, we should push them to use it, and we should spread awareness of it. Anytime a Democrat says "what can we do? we're in the minority!" someone should answer with this. We should shame them into using this; we should insist that they use this.
Every time they say this, we should bring up every time Republicans were in their position and slung shit around until they got their way. They really need to squirm every time they claim they're powerless. Might be tough though since they show no capacity for shame
Oh, they'll start using it. As soon as they get a majority and have progressive legislation that they ran on to block.
The only hope currently (within the governmental realm) is to ~~line up behind~~ gang up on these dumb donkeys and push them with all of our might.
You attribute to stupidity what is more reasonably explained with malice.
Yeah, tried that with the genocide supporters last year. They're still getting the only policy any centrist has ever wanted, only now they're blaming anyone who didn't spend all of 2024 publicly masturbating to dead Palestinian children.
That's not really the same thing, and anyway what's the alternative? Sit around and whine post about it?
This maybe?
All the Internet talk about revolution it seems to me amounts to diddly squat.
You guys are right and I'm wrong obviously. All of the right-wing Internet talk about revolution culminated in the January 6th insurrection.
