Democrats are making a show of their willingness to cooperate with the incoming Trump administration. That’s not their job.
Democrats are the party of, “I would be unreasonable to eat that entire bar of hand soap, so I’m going to compromise and only eat half.” Maybe when they stop cock blocking the change they purport to care about we can take them seriously again.
But the liberals of Lemmy told me Dems aren’t controlled opposition paid to lose….
Surely they have not lied, and hold consistent and logical ideological positions!
When Republicans win:
“Elections mean things! We won the election! You have to work with us or you’re not being bi-partisan!”
When they lose:
“Yeah, go fuck yourself!”
democrats are too stupid to realize that cooperation stopped by the other side many years ago. they are under the delusion that their capitulation will gain them anything. the new normal shows, they are just being dragged to the right.
democrats are the new conservatives. conservatives are now fascists. our only hope are the progressives who have been shoved in a corner and told to STFU.
The Democrats are center right at best. There is no left party in our two party shit hole.
Sadly true… everything has been “meet in the middle” but when one side keeps sliding right the middle does too… there isn’t a left left
As a European, it never fails to amaze me what Americans consider “left”. Y’all had your compass shifted to the far right so much you even call something left that would pass as conservative in Europe.
Progressives/leftists aren’t winning as many elections as conservatives and moderate democrats. Because so many are opposed to bipartisanship.
Absolutely useless fucking wet-noodle spined dweebs. Go fucking hand the bullies your lunch money with a smile, maybe they won’t need it again tomorrow. Dipshits.
And take that goddamn hoodie off acting like you’re “one of the cool kids”.
“People want to see government work, and we’re going to hold Republicans accountable for whether they’re willing to help move things forward for the American people,” Washington Democratic Representative Suzan DelBene, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told ABC News. “I think we are telling them that we’re here to govern,” she went on to explain. “And I guess the question is, are they serious about governing?”
Yeah, that’s the way you deal with fascists! Asking mild questions while helping them!
He had a massive stroke and now he’s a conservative. Big personality changes can happen after a stroke.
It’s getting us exactly where both Republicans and centrist Democrats want us to go.
Everyone in the comments of these articles keep saying things like “are they stupid?” No, everything’s going to plan. Their plan just sucks for us.
I’d argue most Dems.
Certainly the ones in power.
Including the ones we rarely consider, like the party chair. Capital “D”.@
Back to Happy Days 50’s with these two flip-floppers: braindead dipshit Fetterman, and ‘whatever Trump wants’ Stefanik.
“AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!…”, added the underwhelming duo.
When it comes to the spending deal this is a last gasp - the dems are out of power as of 20th Jan.
Then we get the opposite shit show - the republicans have slim majorities in congress so small groups within the party will try to hold the government hostage. We’ve seen it before and will see it again.
An early sign has been Trump pushing for a raise in the debt ceiling and fiscallly conservative republicans ignoring him.
Expect conflict between republicans to be the dominant story of the next 2 years.
Violence is the only thing that ever truly changes anything, and even that is a stretch in this state of things. We lost.
