Democrats: At least we’re not republicans.
Yeah that’s not enough
Since trump got elected that seems to be all they have. Biden, like him or not, actually had some decent policy. Yes, yes…could have done a lot better, but it was more than “we’re not trump”.
But since trump won? They’ve caved on pretty much everything.
It's all they ran on in 2024 and also during Budens admin.
And it wasn't good enough then either.
Their purpose has never been to win but to defend the status quo and prevent leftist organizations and movements from gaining positions of political influence and power that may threaten that status quo.
They are already winning, they have all the campagn contributions they need. Why would they do anything different.
Citizens United will be the death of the USA.
How do we overturn Citizens United
congress and the senate would have to make s new law snd the president would have to sign it.
Citizens United isn't a law, it's a Supreme Court ruling which has its (flawed) logic based on the Constitution. A law won't cut it, because Citizens United would be used as precedent to strike it down as unconstitutional. We likely need a new Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment.
Maybe we form a micronation that's basically like the US government but socialist?
The people it benefits would have to decide to not benefit from it anymore.
So not likely unless the alternative is even worse.
Since it's a Supreme Court ruling, it would take another SC ruling or a constitutional ammendment to override it.
It’s because they’re traitors 
It's so fucking crazy to see liberal Dems get on their soapbox about how "you can't talk about dual loyalty, that's antisemitism" and then show up at an AIPAC conference in Israel Flag pajama pants with an open checkbook to the US Treasury
What's worse is if you add it all up, it's not even a decent lotto jackpot. The US sold the last bit of soul for pennies.
This motherfucker even looks evil.
How many times does the Democratic Party leadership have to create new and inventive ways to steal defeat from the jaws of victory for it to form a clear composite picture of collaboration?
It's long past time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and get dragged off-stage. They are 50% of the reason that Trump is president again.
Imagine if we let Hitler off the hook, and then allowed him to take power again a few years later? These dipshits did that.
They'll still be wagging their finger and expressing concern while they're being beaten and hauled off to a private prison.
And they never will
The Democratic party is such a pussyfest (negative).
Need to have Schummer, Jeffries and Martin removed. All democratic senate Candidates in 2026 need to be primaried, for a realistic chance of changing the democratic party.
If we can't do that, we should sit the election out.
We need more progressives and less establishment bourgeois liberals. Seriously!
People have to understand that Republicans and Democrats are the same thing, its the same serpent which bites its own tail. Its controlled opposition.
Yeah its all the Democrats fault
I didn't say it was just the good cop's fault, the good cop by definition has a partner.
It wasn't a complete cave...
This midterm election is gonna be close.
They're not "cowards" as much as they are doing the job that they are paid to do by their "donors".
Schumer has made a fortune! Pelosi's family is set for generations! And so on.
Politics are the third easiest way to become wealthy in the USA (easiest being inheritance, second easiest prosperity gospel preacher).
