  • "Schumer needs to get the hell out": House Democrats fume over DHS funding talks

  • Realistically, what do they have the power to do that they aren't already doing?

  • That has been the position of nearly every US politician in both parties for the last 40 years. He also calls for a real ceasefire and a two party state, recognizing Palestine has just as much right to statehood as Israel.

    Meanwhile when Trump was asked if it's his job to uphold the Constitution, he said " I don't know".

  • Realistically what do they have the power to do that they aren't doing? Republicans have control of the House, Senate, Judiciary and 27 state governorships.

  • The Washington Generals were controlled opposition for the Harlem Globetrotters. They never actually tried to win.

    Democrats do try to win and succeed about half the time. What my eyes see is that Republicans don't want Democrats around to stop them from enacting more fascist policies. Democrats so far are one of the only major obstacles to that end.

  • When you've got one side that mostly follows the rules and one side that mostly cheats, the side that cheats will usually win.

  • Yes. Conservative groups are buying out whole theatres that then show the movie to empty seats.

    Their nymph phase is aquatic and in their adult phase they only fly. Their legs are only for grasping.

  • It would go out of business if it made as many widgets as it could as fast as it could. Instead make a limited amount a year, keeping demand high. Just have to be willing to accept regular returns on investment instead of chasing perpetual growth.

  • We are talking about beating Republicans and that doesn't stop at the polls.

  • Look, Bernie was the only political race ever where I donated money, so when I say this know where I am coming from. We have no idea if Bernie would have been any more effective than Biden if elected. Maybe the right would have reacted so hard that he would have been obstructed every step of the way, accomplished nothing, and we would have gotten Trump anyway. Maybe they would have just killed him in the first year and we would have ended up in the Civil War 2.

  • Zohran Mamdani is a great example. He beat the Dems on their own grounds. I have faith he can be a leader against the Republican administration precisely because he proved he has a plan and the ability to execute it in spite of resistance.

    We need to get rid of "first past the post" election systems. That will allow candidates like Mamdani to be competitive in a larger variety. The way I see it, this will NEVER happen through Republicans and as the system exists now there are only two viable choices. I'm not saying it won't be an uphill battle, but at least there has been some progress in making elections more representative of a variety of political views under Democrats.

  • You don't think being able to win against an entrenched power structure in spite of legislative obstruction is at all relevant to defeating Republicans?
