If the Dems get a trifecta do not expect them to do anything meaningful, say it all takes too much time, and just shuffle chairs around.
Which is not ideal, but better than setting fire to everything...
The earlier we deal with the fire, the better.
But do rest assured, that fire is coming. You’re putting it off and letting it gather strength. It may just consume us all now.
That depends largely on your standpoint. If you're already on fire then setting more fires in the hopes of getting put out with them isn't irrational.
I don't know if you intended "get put out with them" as a euphemism for "killed" but it fits very nicely.
If putting out each fire requires a certain amount of resources, then your chances go down, as firefighters will be busy with other fires before they get to you.
If by meaningful you mean socialist revolution, then no, and nobody expects them to. However there are things to be done better within the system and it's something we need to do anyway
We had a Dem president after an insurrection attempt that did nothing to go after those who organized it. I doubt they'll go after the system as it is unless we get more progressive candidates in.
Fun part is, they did so much it's unbelievable. They were handled severely broken justice system, a bunch of judges that were appointed by the same person they tried to persecute, a bunch mechanisms and systems were completely dismantled, the majority of supreme court are outright taking orders from a outside organisation.
In less than 3 years, they managed to gather all the insurrection perpetrators, used smaller ones as a fodder to persecute bigger ones, overcame all the corruption and bullshit, got cases such tight, they even managed to "al-capone" the biggest one, to the point that was actually convicted of 34 cases. By the standards of the American judicial system, doing so much to a conservative bunch with ties, money, and power, is probably unprecedented.
But then America decided that they would rather have that convicted felon in charge again, and all this hard work went to shit.
Do I think it's good or fair? Absolutely not. But given the system they had to operate in, Democrats in general did a good job. The obvious answer is, the system is shit and needs to be dismantled and reorganised, but that's not what Democratic party is, and it's not what it was elected to do.
Absolutely correct.
Like arrest all sitting maga in government, and do the needful to the pedophiles in power.
Because anything else is just letting pedos destroy your country and rape your kids.
