It's amazing that this is the kind of reply something this blase gets. Defeatism and doom cosplaying as revolutionary righteousness and radical action

Someone in the replies LITERALLY claiming Hillary did universal healthcare wrong on purpose back in the 90s to derail it because liberals hate the people and all things good.
At some point the hatred of liberals is axiomatic and backfills any explanation for the world they have.

Doesn't matter because Schumer has already been designated as a betrayer. So either he walks back, or if he actually follows through, it's onlly because he was scared by the power of REAL heroes rather than because he actually meant to.
Dem'd if you do, Dem'd if you don't. You lose either way

This? This shit is what I meant by "believing in the better angels of the GOP"
The GOP is the architect of this shit, and yet somehow the Dems are being held more accountable for not being perfect party line vote? For not finding mythic defectors from the GOP that were surely there if Dems "tried"?

Everything must necessarily be the Dems' fault in the end, Example #500383333

Shit like this is how you know how many of the folks pissed at Schumer and Jeffries don't even know what they actually did or didn't do.

What's with folks constantly couching deserved praise of folks doing the work on the ground in a dire situation with the constant need to flip it into a reason to burn Dems in effigy?
"These folks are heroes *and they're why we need to purge the entire Dem caucus and replace them with activitsts!*"

The replies to both the quote post and the original are exactly why accurate reporting is more important than live reporting. The fact that the reporter being highlighted here literally recanted with an update saying the exact opposite 45 min later has been lost so folks can get their 2 Min Hate on.

Trump is doing this exactly because the Dems on the ground have been treating ICE and Trump himself as an existential threat, what the fuck are we even doing here?

Unfortunately, many are instead choosing the "the fact that it was believable says alot about them" past.

Exhibit B:
And when Dems turn out to have been doing the exact opposite of what they were accused of doing, not only do they not get credit, but are treated as if on the precipice of doing the evil thing if not for the overwhelming power of poasting and "bullying"

It's a very good idea.
However, I'm almost positive that if national press doesn't respond, folks will assume that MN Dems dropped it for shits and giggles. Why? Well...Exhibit A.
(Note: Dems do daily pressers literally every day. You just don't hear about them b/c 'tree falls in the forest')

You know what I hate most about these smug "I don't trust Dems not to ignore the problem when in power"? Dems *don't* ignore it. They just have to deal with the limitations of power they have with slim margins in Congress and GOP control in the SCOTUS. 1/2

Man, considering the quoted post that brought this on, saying 'people already blamed Lucy and Charlie Brown still believes her instead' is....wild.

Yeah, no, not doing this shit today, thank you. If you can't appreciate how much worse than any other military adventure the US has bumbled its way into, or just want gratuitous dunks against the libs, I'm not gonna have patience for it.

What I keep coming back to is that the information environment makes this a total 'damned if you do' premise. B/c when Dems DO stand firm on principle, they're still simultaneously accused of being too left wing and too right wing and of doing things they didn't. And again failure as a 'sin of want'

I'm begging for people to understand that presidential immunity, as dictated by the SCOTUS, is from prosecution for "official acts". It does not mean pres will is necessarily law and is unchallengeable/must be obeyed.
Trump being allowed to do as he pleases is due to other checks & balances failing
