Behavior of Democratic leadership makes a lot more sense when I assume that their goal is not to prevent our slide into an authoritarian police state so much as to ensure they get to participate in running it after we get there.

I'm furious at what they've done and not done since Trump's FIRST term.
Happy to campaign on Trump as an existential threat, but not willing to adopt any consequential policy positions.

Oof. Yep. Dem's are like:
This is fantastic, everybody is going to vote for us! What will we do when elected? Do? I don't understand the question.

This right here. People seem to forget that after episode 1 of this bullshit Democrats had the presidency and majorities in the House and Senate, and used their power to boldly fight fascism by... funding infrastructure and genocide.

Does this include violence committed by law enforcement?

I hope there will be trials, but I can't point to any examples in recent history of Democrats holding previous administrations accountable. What am I missing?

Yep, they were happy to campaign on it as an existential issue, but what did they actually DO when in power? Look forward as opposed to looking backward? Fund infrastructure and genocide? Is that how you fight fascism? No, that's how you extort your voters.

This right here, and boy do people get mad when I point it out. Truth hurts, needed something more exciting.

Biden / Harris essentially offered voters the Trolley Problem. If you don't pull the lever, genocide from Trump! If you do pull the lever, maybe slightly less genocide from us.

I mean, if history is any guide, Dem's will probably tell us to "look forward as opposed to looking backward" and pretend the whole thing never happened.

I've been saying this. Dem's were happy to tell us the election was existential, but apparently not existential benough to adopt policy positions that appeal to their voters, who they now blame for losing.

Came here to ask this. Concerned about an always-on internet-connected listening device, but I suppose most just accept this.

Conservatives often talk about morality, but I think it's a mistake to take it literally. It's a tool used to enforce the real goal, a strict social hierarchy. The rules are used to punish those lower in the hierarchy, and broken as an expression of power by those further up in the hierarchy.

Right, look who it is, Mr. "Look forward, not back" himself. Prime example of normalizing illegal authoritarian behavior.

Man, you know what else weakens democracy? When we "look forward as opposed to looking backwards" when considering the previous president's blatant violations of the law.

Several voted present rather than for or against.

Amazing how the party that routinely rolls over for the right, turns into a lean, mean fighting machine when their policies are challenged from the left.

I don't care about messaging, I care about action and policy. Republicans are breaking every rule in the book, Democrats couldn't cross the dotted line that is the rules the Senate sets for itself last time they had the majority. Why will next time be different?

Too bad Obama used those brains to bail out bankers rather than home owners, and refused to prosecute GWB's torture regime. "Look forward and not backwards" he said. I'm looking forward to more establishment Democrats like him refusing to push back on fascism.
