that’s a difference. Right there. Dems don’t make things better but they don’t make things worse. I hate dems but until new party forms I will encourage people to vote dem or at least third party over staying at home because that’s put us here. Once the GOP is gone we can collectively give dems the middle finger. DNC knows this which is why they act the way they do.
People have been saying this since I was able to vote: “Just vote for the dems you hate now until they have enough power then we can vote for who we want.”
And in all that time the republicans have gotten more powerful.
There will never be a time in my life where the GOP is gone. And probably not my children’s either.
Of course you are. As am I. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to just “give up.” Yes I’ll vote against Trump at all chance even if it means I’ll lose. Because I may not.
I don’t want a leader who is fucking exciting or a firebrand. I just want a competent administrator who treats the nation as something to be preserved. And that’s a hard sell against a cheap auto-salesman like Trump.
Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.
But those are the only two options. So you pick a democrat and hope for the best.
If the democrats are the best we can hope for then we are well and truly boned.
And how much longer am I gonna have to hold my nose and vote for an asshole I hate before they get enough power to mean I don’t have to?
Will I be dead before I can actually vote for someone I want to be in office? And even then will they have a stroke and start schlonging conservative dick?
Politics is a game designed to be so infuriating that most people rage quit.
You’re saying this in a thread about a Democrat who won. What is the difference of Chuck Schumer was there or not? It seems to be the same result either way.
Republicans never had a problem fucking shit up when they didn’t have a majority. Dems should be doing the same thing. Kick and scream and make the Republicans fight every step of the way. Stop rolling over immediately and letting them fuck us all.
Right now they need to focus on stopping the republicans from doing shit, that’s it, and they’re not even trying. Everyone knows nothing is going to improve until Musk, Trump and the rest are gone so focus on just mucking up their works.
Schumer is the leader. His actions speak for the whole. I’ll believe the rest of them care when they jettison him. It is long past time for them to have cut these spineless old fucks from the party. They should have done it after Hillary lost. Republicans are out for blood and they keep playing games.
Oh yes here we go another comment about if they don’t have a complete and total majority that they have no power whatsoever. What fucking bunk. He was elected as a senator by the people of the state of New York. He has a solemn and sacred duty to serve those people. It doesn’t matter if other people didn’t win election it’s still his fucking job. If he can’t fucking do it he should resign as should the rest of the useless parasites in that party who don’t feel they have any responsibilities left to the public.
What a useless party this is and what useless people who are loyal to it.
You kids act like there’s some sort of consolation prize. Is it because you all got participation trophies or something when you were children? You lost the house, the senate, the presidency and the f’gin SCOTUS.
What political power do you think you really have anymore? Whining on lemmy about how you don’t want to vote for a boring candidate? No wonder MAGA is winning. They f’ing vote.
Are you fucking joking?
I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.
Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

Because not enough people FUCKING LISTENED.
Well I’ve been listening and I’m sick of pretending this strategy of “if only people would do what they should” is going to ever work
You are actively fighting against it right now.
Of course you are. As am I. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to just “give up.” Yes I’ll vote against Trump at all chance even if it means I’ll lose. Because I may not.

This is why MAGA is winning. Even they aren’t this stupid.
I’ve been doing the “smart thing” and voting blue in every election and writing y representatives and it clearly hasn’t worked.
So obviously the solution is to stop.
It clearly isn’t helping, so why not save myself the ulcer?
If doing the right thing is giving you an ulcer, maybe you ARE voting for the wrong party. MAGA might suit you better.
Hint: he’s been a pro-MAGA agitator for ages. He’s always exclusively attacking Democrats. He is MAGA. Keep that in mind when trying to engage.
You’re saying this in a thread about a Democrat who won. What is the difference of Chuck Schumer was there or not? It seems to be the same result either way.
Do you know how Congress works? I’m trying to determine if I have to explain what a “majority” means or not.
Republicans never had a problem fucking shit up when they didn’t have a majority. Dems should be doing the same thing. Kick and scream and make the Republicans fight every step of the way. Stop rolling over immediately and letting them fuck us all.
Because Republicans exist, fundamentally as a party, to break government. And it’s far far easier to break something than to improve it.
Right now they need to focus on stopping the republicans from doing shit, that’s it, and they’re not even trying. Everyone knows nothing is going to improve until Musk, Trump and the rest are gone so focus on just mucking up their works.
Did you not even read the title of this article?

Bet you’ll find more excuses if and when that happens
