I think this is one of the most constructive ways to confront them, if not for the fact people ignore these things anyway. Dems tried to push bills to investigate corporate price gouging, Republicans blocked, and somehow it’s all Dems fault, you know?

The cop there was complicit and 100% would’ve illegally arrested them. Beyond that, the door was locked anyway. Warren has a job too that’s getting more stressful by the day, people needed to elect better leaders. Did you catch any of Booker’s speech? I found it very moving.

People are criticizing Dems for not openly supporting these things without understanding the political impossibilities of it. At the end of the day if it somehow went to voting it’d at least be another thing to show to MAGATs who think republicans don’t do these things they won’t listen to.

We are on a post where people, including you, are criticizing Warren for wanting to put forward a popular bill that’s destined to fail so that the Republicans have to confront how they’d vote on it.

Maybe not Fox but the other two. Yes. Yes you are. You are able to organize a protest outside Johnson’s house (don’t move the goalposts). And if she did do these things, you’d care as much as you did when Dem senators tried to get into the DoEd as DOGE was in there, you wouldn’t.

Biden was able to take Trump’s disaster of an economy and prevent a recession against all odds. We had one of the most successful post-Covid turnarounds. Meanwhile, plenty of bills were put forward by Dems to go after corporate price gouging and were blocked by Republicans every time.

No, there really wasn’t. When we have to count people like Manchin to get slim majorities that’s not like Republicans who fall in line without fail.

They’d not be happy with an independent but most likely would’ve, they’re not leftists that back Trump after they lose the popular vote in a primary. And we wouldn’t have socialized healthcare or a higher minimum wage or anything because voters would still give republicans the legislative branch.

Honestly he was too loopy for that. And I mean that with all the love he has for his colleagues. This was a better version of pulling all nighter banging out a great essay. He was clearly tired as hell but pushed through with sheer willpower and didn’t even let it dilute his message.

In fairness, that is the exact sort of journalistic integrity MSNBC wanted to get rid of you for.

Sanders lost the popular vote in both primaries. If superdelegates were more evenly split, he’d still have lost. Harris needed a few hundred thousand more votes to win the EC, and then there wouldn’t be innocent people trafficked to El Salvador. Nonvoters got their change.

(Cory). The other day I saw AOC apologize to Conor Lamb for the progressive vote snubbing him in the primaries in favor of Fetterman. At the end of the day, the Democrat party is one mostly built from people who want us to be better.

There were like, two whole bills put in front of the senate for voting. Certainly not happy with Schumer, but Dems can’t really filibuster anything when Trump rules with EOs.

I’m not sure that when he eventually does yield the Republican parliamentarians will actually let him yield to another Dem.

Well geeze, maybe people shouldn’t have kept abstaining from elections to punish Dems for not having enough power to stop these things. He’s doing more than you.

Nope. The Dixiecrat whose record he is beautifully close to smashing never revealed how he held his bladder, I hope out of sheer curiosity Booker someday does.

I know full well what Trump is. He’s also a Nazi.

Uh, no. It was the “leftists” spouting out Russian talking points, and telling people that if they don’t vote against a Nazi they’re a genocidal maniac.

Sure Russki, I’m sick of people who campaigned for Trump against Harris lashing out at the liberals who actually tried to prevent fascism.

backed campaigns to get people not to vote. So yes, I do think that there are a hundred thousand of them in PA, or otherwise at least that many people who are convinced not to vote by their more “politically active” friends. Oh but they were happy to support Fetterman in the primaries though.

A couple million. If I had to guess, I’d say there’s a couple million fake progressives, it matches up fairly well with protest voting against Clinton and Harris. I’ve been told enough times at my swing state college by people who are silent today, and PA was a large staging ground for these Russian
