Just gonna show this chart to everyone that complains about Joe Biden not dropping out soon enough or whatever.

America is a country full of obnoxious dipshits that have very strong opinions about things they know absolutely nothing about.

The 2024 Data Don't Lie:

The only issue voters can clearly associate with the modern D Party is support for gay rights.

That's it.

Voters are 50/50 on which party is on SS and Medicare.

Yes, really.

That's why we need to leave pound them on the economy and critical programs like Medicaid.

Genuinely thought this was a troll of the Republicans who respond to every question just like this.

A Doll In Every Pot @tobellz.bsky.social · 12m

It's working because the actual demand that Democrats are making is "enforceable restoration of Congress to its appropriate role in the Constitutional order" and Republicans will absolutely never give it to them.

They are eugenicists and want people to die because they ghoulishly believe that every additional death makes the human gene pool that much stronger.

"Republicans are not going to give us more than that."

I actually think they've handled this so badly that we might get more than we expect.

Every deleted reply is a triumph of the human spirit.

In the US, "Christian" is often just a euphemism for "white and racist."

Because again, the data shows that in the US, Hispanic folk attend church more frequently than white folk.
🤡

And Black folk attend church more often than Hispanic folk. Black folk attend church more than any other race.

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA announced they'll be hosting their own Super Bowl half-time show with "fully Christian, American" performers. 🤣
Bad Bunny is both Catholic AND American. Just not "white enough".

I think it's pretty explicit at this point that when white conservatives talk about "Christian" values they mean they want chattel slavery back.

It's why talking to them about Jesus' message or the words of the Scripture is a waste of time.

They don't care about Jesus. They want to own slaves.

"Wait! You mean the Democrats were right that us being in charge means we are actually *in charge*?

What kind of idiot would put us in charge of things!"

I need to print this out and tape it to my monitor.

specifically not a subtweet of anybody recently or in particular but if every time I interact with you you’re being a combative jackass eventually I’m going to block or mute you even if I think you have considerable other virtues. life’s too short

You're not even paying attention to what I am saying.

That's just cause Frog guy is fresh. Subway guy is the OG.

The reason there's no deal on the ACA subsidies is because the Democrats are insisting that with any deal Republicans also commit to Constitutional order.

A Doll In Every Pot @tobellz.bsky.social · 56m

You've got yourself twisted all in knots so you can blame Democrats for the things the Republicans are doing.

A Doll In Every Pot @tobellz.bsky.social · 58m

Honestly, you need to pick.

If elections don't matter anymore then it doesn't matter what Schumer, Jeffries or anyone in Congress says.

If elections do matter, then the winning back the House and Senate in 2026 and the White House in 2028 are the most important goals for all of us.

I kinda feel bad for him though because he seems to be a genuinely good person with some really great ideas (or at least a willingness to consider ideas).

De Blasio: ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

NEW YORK—Clucking his tongue with mock disappointment, Bill De Blasio announced to New Yorkers that “It’s not so easy to find a mayor that doesn’t suck shit after all, huh?” during a press conference ...

Schumers shutdown strategy is working and it's making the people on this site who hate Schumer's shutdown strategy irascible.

A Doll In Every Pot @tobellz.bsky.social · 1h

Yeah, it's a weird afterthought that demonstrates that we're talking past each other I think.

The leaders of the Democratic party in this moment are people who are likely to run for President in 2028.

That's explicitly not Schumer and Jeffries. Their job is to hold the party together.

That doesn't get fixed by Schumer mooning Trump during the State of the Union.

A Doll In Every Pot @tobellz.bsky.social · 1h

That's thinking strategically and playing the cards you're dealt to their best effect.

The answer to "Why doesn't Schumer just..." is always "The American people chose to give all the power of the federal government to Trump and his Republican toadies."

No shade, but the highest position Buttigieg has ever been elected to is Mayor of South Bend.

A Doll In Every Pot @tobellz.bsky.social · 1h

having said that, there's a reason regular people consider these things off limits. (It's not because they're super effective!)

As a Governor, Pritzker has a greater claim to party leadership than Schumer or Jeffries.

Just to make the point clear, no one pretends that Mike Johnson and John Thune are "party leaders".

We can go back to the previous CR where Schumer said that Republicans can't govern, Trump's actions would make him unpopular and Dems would be in a much better position after the summer.

OP: Dems should be saying this
Me: Dems are saying this
You: That doesn't count.
