House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

      If you want the Democrats to fight more effectively against Trump, by running on a better platform and listening to the active voter base, so the country is safe for at least 4 more years and maybe arrest Trump, you are actually:

      • A tankie
      • A russian bot
      • A brainwashed Fox News watcher
      • A china spy who was brainwashed by TikTok
      • A republican who pretends to be a democrat
      • A useful idiot for Republicans
      • Whatever MSNBC said this week was the thing to watch out for

      It’s mentally draining that I am on the side of the Democrats winning, because I know I would have prefered Harris to Trump every single day. Despite her record of trans rights and gaza, because she could have been pushed forward by learning from mistakes and not having her brains be mush like Trump and Biden.

      And because I wanted her to win by publicly expressing the things documented in her campaign’s website? I’m somehow wanting Trump to win despite being a disabled queer.

      I just don’t get how so many liberals will see me go “Harris should advocate for this thing that would be good, she said she wants it in the past” and then read that as “I hate her because she’s a Democrat woman, I also love to eat shit of out Trump’s asshole and claim it’s owning the libs.”

      Never once have I ever praised Trump unironically, I can could count on two fingers things I am neutral towards, (Backing out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and getting rid of the Penny) and that’s it, everything else he has made my life worse on the Federal level, and helped some of my friends die from COVID.

      I just got to wonder if the people who constantly think this are just angry that Trump got a loyal unquestioning fanbase, and want a piece of the media-manipulated voter base for themselves.

        That’s why they’ve earned the name Blue MAGA. They’re just as hateful, just as interested in Yes Men and making sure people submit to their authority unquestioningly. They want Fascism-Lite, they just want it to be “their guy” in charge.

        It blows my mind that people criticize the GOP for being so tribalistic, not realizing a majority of the DNC is exactly the same.

        Yes, because they think that’s how he won since they ignore everything Trump and downtrodden people say on the premise that they are dumb and valid to be ignored.

        There isn’t a recognition of changing to meet people suffering to show empathy but a thought that if they just had enough power first they could fix whatever is really wrong cause it must be something other than what people are complaining about.

        They want the power without purpose which isn’t a winning strategy compared to explaining what you intend to do with power for people who feel powerless.
