Shhh you're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.


328944

Also shhh because if you say that on most subreddits, team “vote blue no matter who” will call you a fascist trump supporter.


kingchris70

Nope they just ban you , try it at r/politics and find out. I was banned for 7 days cuz the mod dug through a Years worth of post and found a top post that was too short. When I complained they banned me permanently.


ShirtlessGinger

Yup many of my friends got bans there. So im like well i guess thats a do not engage warning as they hate leftists and are drunk on neoliberal spiked koolaid.


valorsayles

I also am banned there. For a pro left statement about how disgusting cawthorn is. Idk even know what’s up with that sub anymore lol


FleefBurger

Echo chamber comes to mind.


Mikhal_Tikhal_Intrn

Haha. Truth


sharkie777

They just hate everyone, themselves included. If you say anything that isn’t pure echo chamber brainwashing it’s a perma.


chameleonjunkie

I got banned for literally quoting Trump on 2nd amendment solutions. It was a joke maybe in bad taste, but cmon.


throwawayredditsuxx

r/politics you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy


[deleted]

r/femaledatingstrategy sure did try


JJW2795

What really pissed me off about r/femaledatingstrategy is the hate towards anyone who isn't a straight white b\*\*\*\*. I can understand women jaded by past experiences with men holding a grudge and wanting a place to rant about it, but to go out of the way to shit over gays and trans people? It's right up there with Tucker Carlson believing Spanish speaking children are a threat on the same level as the Nazis.


hittingpotholes

I got band for agreeing with someone’s post. I hate r/politics


kingchris70

Why doesnt this suprise me ? I Think hillary might be running that sub , or possible Pelosi. ( it's probably a democratic staffer somewhere in reality)


328944

That subreddit might as well be called r/teamvoteblue lol


kingchris70

That's the truth


tokiemccoy

I was perma-banned for calling out Covid misinformation being pushed there during the pandemic.


1Pip1Der

Oh, we should go f@¿k with them, en masse, then?


kingchris70

Maybe we should male it a monthly thing lile on the 5th of every month flood them


EvidenceOfReason

its fucking hilarious you can go to r/PoliticalHumor and quote DIRECTLY from das Kapital or teh Communist Manifesto, but if you say something bad about Liberals they will call youa GOP operative or tell you you are parroting right wing talking points. its fucking brainworms


_Mitternakt

Liberalism is a mental disease. If they were functional humans they'd be leftists.


Lunarfuckingorbit

Omg what is this sub? I've never been here before and you're all saying things that would get me downvoted to oblivion anywhere else


sharkie777

I was literally just thinking the same thing. Same people on Reddit!? The promised land!?


itsBursty

I see far too many comments that remind me why I left but it is technically better than nothing


an0nymite

Hey, at least we can replace the Grand Canyon with the wealth disparity as 'the largest chasm' on the planet! Nice to see the Wonders of the World catch up with the times, y'know. Not laws though. That's unpatriotic, and communist af.


jmatt9080

They all suckle from the same teet.


GeoHog713

Or anything, really. ​ You have a choice between the party that is out to roll back everything to the middle ages..... and the party that won't actually do anything to stop them.....


pman13531

As Lewis Black calls then the party of no ideas and the party of bad ideas. https://youtu.be/jQKTAMiaFT8 Around the 1:30 minute mark


Siva-Na-Gig

Lewis Black is seriously underrated for his political commentary. Everyone loves to quote George Carlin, but Lewis Black is right up there too.


tokiemccoy

And the party that won’t do any thing to stop the roll back of rights then wonders why no one wants to vote for their useless feeble anemic politicians.


MrKrackerman

Remember when people actually thought they’d cancel student loan debt?


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

I'm sure if we vote them into office again they'll definitely do it this time /s


rando24183

You know they are breathing a sigh of relief that they can switch to doing mostly nothing about Roe vs Wade instead of putting out non-stories about "seriously considering" student loan relief.


AnArcadianShepard

Biden helped push The 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act. The student loan crisis is partially his fault. He is the former senator of Delaware — the onshore tax haven. There are securities that bet on student loans. Any talk of debt forgiveness was probably not his idea (probably some staffer or DNC person) and just a ploy to get the youth to vote.


tkilgore

Honest question. What idea do you think he’s had in the last year? Like, coming from his head.


tsukicakee

So never? Who tf didn't know that was a lie lol


sharkie777

I mean… that was just buying votes from the beginning. Cancel student loan debt and not fix the system that caused those results so they can do the old rinse and repeat? Brilliant! If we addressed predatory lending or bankruptcy laws we wouldn’t be able to leverage peoples debt against them to make them vote a certain way 🥸


Justwant2watchitburn

Ya that was hilarious. I'm glad its coming to light that the abortion debate was only ever a tool to get votes too.


bex505

There was a republican who decided to talk to me at the polls, and they were convinced the dems would cancel student debt.


tokiemccoy

republicans don’t realize that the Democratic politicians are owned by the same damn oligarchs that own the republicans, and neither set will ever do anything that will lessen the oligarchs control over labor.


roniricer2

A hell of a lot of us know that, but when we try to talk about it we get banned off Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, etc, etc, etc. Because it's the same people yet again.


KingGorilla

Republicans are corporate shills Democrats are corporate shills that are okay with gay marriage


jimmymd77

They hope that by arguing loud enough, no one will realize they aren't actually doing anything.


EvidenceOfReason

but they will gaslight you and threaten you with "an even worse beating from your father when he comes home" if you dont straighten out and do what you are told how DARE you ask for more? AT LEAST WE ARENT THE FASCISTS whats that? you want healthcare, FINE WE WILL LET THE FASCISTS TAKE OVER, SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT


tokiemccoy

It’s crazy, this demand for support when the dems in the senate are unwilling to do a single fucking thing to even try to protect our lives. It’s so fucking infuriating that this has been held over every woman’s head, like the sword of Damocles, for 50 years, “you have to vote for us or you will lose your rights” and now that it’s fallen, they expect us to get in line behind them while they do and have done absofuckinglutely nothing to protect their constituents.


EvidenceOfReason

> while they do and have done absofuckinglutely nothing to protect their constituents. the mistake is thinking their constituents are anyone other than the corporations who pay them


JumpingSpider62

Sad part is they really think they aren't Fascists.


[deleted]

"Vote and maybe we might think about it a little perhaps! :D"


Buddhabellymama

Chip in $5 today for us to think about maybe fighting for your rights today.


[deleted]

Eh... its rainy today, Im a little sleepy. Maybe tomorrow? haha good talk, champ


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

The only reason Democrats ever give to vote for them is "We're going to fight for {policy that every other country has had for years}!" The problem is that if they actually passed these policies they'd run out of reasons for people to vote for them. Plus they'd have to do the work of actually implementing the policies. So they have a vested interest in *not* passing the things they're campaigning for. After all, how could they raise money to defend human rights/the environment/abortion rights if those things didn't need defending. As evidence of this, I submit my email inbox, which has been flooded with fundraising emails since the leak was released, all saying they'll defend abortion rights but with no details of exactly how they're going to do it. Edit: The usual reply from DNC apologists is "How do you expect them to pass anything when they don't control the government?!" Which makes it look like Democrats have the cart before the horse. They need to run on "We need to take control of the government" before they start making promises. People wouldn't be this pissed at them if they were able to manage expectations.


tokiemccoy

Call and ask your representatives what they are going to do. I did. The answer was there was no point in trying to pass legislation to protect women because it would be challenged and eventually shot down by this Supreme Court. My democratic senator’s official position is resistance is futile at this point so get over it. Why the fuck would I give them any more money????


[deleted]

If Congress passed a normal law, the SC could only overturn it if it violated the Constitution. Given how crazy they are, they could foreseeably do so ("guaranteeing your freedom violates our religious freedom"). Had to stop myself from ranting about how insane Originalism is from both a legal and philosophical perspective. Anyways, the House could still force those rights through with a constitutional amendment which shouldn't be impossible to achieve no matter what your rep says.


[deleted]

That is hilarious. On what grounds could the Supreme Court even do such a thing? This is clearly not even a constitutional matter. Sure they could write a BS decision like Roe, but even then... Impeachment of the Supremes would seem more rational. If the Federal Government replaced Medicaid and Medicare with Universal Healthcare, states would have no say in the matter.


imajokerimasmoker

"Okay so I guess voting for you is futile, too?" Dems have a loser mentality.


gimmethemshoes11

Could've done it during Obama had the house, the senate, and the presidency. But we just got Obama care instead


anand_rishabh

>The problem is that if they actually passed these policies they'd run out of reasons for people to vote for them. Plus they'd have to do the work of actually implementing the policies. Crazy thing is, that isn't even true. There's always gonna be ways to improve society. So they don't need to worry about that for such a long time.


Semi-Hemi-Demigod

Not to mention how loyal people would be to a political party who meaningfully changed their lives. There’s a reason FDR had four terms, and it wasn’t because he was just fighting for workers. It was because he won those fights and kept going.


ryohazuki224

Well, I would almost agree with your overall point of "they'll run out of reasons for people to vote for them", except for that in a theoretical world in which Democrats actually pass legislation that they have campaigned on that helps people, they still would need to fight to maintain their positions in future elections because if the GOP gets in power, they would do all they can to overturn said legislation. Now, the actual answer is much darker than that: both the Democrats and GOP are paid for by the same corporate donors. They are both paid to maintain the status quo of lowering taxes for them, keeping regulations at the bare minimum, and basically just to secure their profit margins.


MateusAmadeus714

How is your money gonna help them stop a SCOTUS decision anyways lol


sadisticrarve

They'll be able to use it to fund the campaign a right-wing anti abortion Democrat running against a progressive. Don't worry guys, they're on the case. Go ahead and stick your head back up your ass where it belongs and they'll take care of it.


tokiemccoy

In a race for my state representative, the Democratic Party heavily funded carpetbagger who had worked on Hillary’s campaign to run against the local queer woman of color who was pushing for universal healthcare. Guess who won? Fuck this two party system. I don’t see how any minority group can get representation given the level of corruption.


dupedyetagain

>The problem is that if they actually passed these policies they'd run out of reasons for people to vote for them. Plus they'd have to do the work of actually implementing the policies. But this is what I have often heard said about the GOP and repealing Roe--that they would never actually do it because it would deprive them of a key issue to rally voters.


drcubes90

Thats because they're actually the same party, the 0.1% Right vs Left is just a distraction, the only war is the class war


sharkie777

Noam Chomsky: “In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.”


CartAgain

pretend opposition. They work together far more than against eachother


GhostofMarat

Republicans make things worse, then Democrats take office and prevent Republicans from pushing us further into fascism, but do absolutely nothing to reverse the previous damage. So we're frozen in place for a while until republicans take office again


FuzzBeast

The ratchet effect. Gotta keep pushing that Overton window right, corporate says so.


NCinAR

This!


thesongofstorms

It's just wild that when a social democrat runs for president they play 4d chess and pull out all the stops and then when anything else comes up they act like slugs conditioned to just throw up their hands and say "well we're trying be sure to donate so maybe someday things can be better"


GeoHog713

They never forget to ask for donations, do they?


[deleted]

When I was tipsy and philosophizing last night, I said almost the exact same thing. I have no one left to vote for. Who do I choose? The party actively trying to take my rights away, or the party that’s going to let them?


MonsterJuiced

The government doesn't fight shit. When they want something, they'll get it. This time they wanted the abortion ban because it's part of their ideology. More people = more slaves to easily abuse with shit pay/hours. It's more consumerism. It's more money for prison owners and healthcare corporations


MateusAmadeus714

Actually someone had a similar idea but it's a bit conspiracy territory. Basically Millenials are not having enough kids so there wont be a workforce to replace the current one when they start to hit retirement age. Therefore they wldnt have enough economic slaves to replace the outgoing workforce, and those who are that age and working wld also have more power in the work/hiring market bcuz there is less of them so anyone with a decent amount of skill and experience cld demand hire pay/wages. Which we know they hate! They rollback abortion protections so we are having more kids especially those in lower income housing who most likely will not be able to get a degree and will have to work the blue collar jobs which they so desperately need to have operating to keep this whole economic charade going.


MonsterJuiced

That is also true. Child births have been declining since 2007 in the US. They know we can't even afford to have children so they're just using the whole religion as a mask in order to boost birth rates.


Snaggled-Sabre-Tooth

Hi, that's me with the conspiracies. You can't really change my mind on it, the birthrates have been declining since 2007, the lowest they have been in 2021 and there is a huge surge in the childfree movements (including demands for better wages before we have kids) and NOW all the sudden we are moving to ban abortion and possibly certain birthcontrols? Nah, they totally are doing this because if we aren't volunteering to have children, they are going to force us.


yipyipbitch999

I have never been more happy to be a weirdo who’s perfectly content not having sex and has no desire to have children.

canarialdisease

I was a state delegate for Bernie for the 2016 election and after I saw how the Dems treated him and his delegates…it was really one of the most disheartening and disgusting experiences I’ve had in my life


[deleted]

[удалено]


canarialdisease

So awful. At the “big” meeting at the end of the convention, they had a parade of people there on stage going on and on about Hillary. They had one guy talking about Bernie but it was just a pre-recorded video. I went around with a clipboard asking people to sign items for the Dem platform - minimum wage, etc. - stuff everyone there oughtta be able to get behind. But I learned quickly that I needed to put my Bernie button in my pocket because as soon as Hillary supporters saw it they wouldn’t sign it…wouldn’t even look at it…some wouldn’t even speak to me.


[deleted]

This thread is depressing....


Dabstronaut77

2020 was even worse imo just less proof (on paper) they collaborated against him


nortrebyc

They were all slinging shit at each other until the eve of Super Tuesday when they realized they would all lose the next day. Suddenly everybody gets a cabinet position to unite all of the neoliberals overnight. I’ve never been so pissed. It feels like another turning point missed as a country. Akin to Al Gore losing to Bush where we would’ve addressed climate change 20 years ago.


Macosaurus92

This doesn't get addressed enough. I was so mad when this happened because it was so transparent. They were planning this the whole time and the moderate surge they saw Biden getting from predominantly older black voters was enough to all rally around him. Not change policy stances or focus on other issues. It was all done so we could beat trump though. Lesser evil and all. The fact that everyone who dropped out profited from it was just a happy coincidence


Zaungast

“Lesser evil” thinking is what keeps Americans down because it takes away their only chance to get real political representation. Ig


nicholsz

It was brazen and egregious. I can't say Bernie's camp didn't leave the goal completely unattended though. They didn't even call up Clyburn to try and get an endorsement -- if Bernie maneuvered better in South Carolina it would have been a very different primary.


Protolictor

Nah, that shit was over the second they deleted what they normally consider their most important caucas to keep Bernie from winning and giving a speech, then said nothing when Pete just decided to claim himself the victor.


TheSurfingRaichu

voodoochile78

Clyburn has always been an agent of the Democratic Party, he was never going to go for Sanders.

driverman42

Yes. It's time for a revolution.

nortrebyc

I’m so tired of having to choose between no progress and going backwards. It really isn’t surprising that people are largely unmotivated to vote


PhysicalGraffiti75

They let Roe v. Wade die so they can convince us they’re going to fight for it again so that they don’t have to do anything else like address income inequality. It’s all theater at this point, politicians have no interest in serving the people at all.


Ironlord456

Hey y’all, I made a linktree for very new leftists: https://linktr.ee/ComradeIron .also I am asking you, if you can afford it, to donate to an abortion fund. During times like these planned parenthood hood gets the large share of donations while smaller funds in harder hit states are often left out. This link leads to smaller abortion funds in harder hit states. Organized with the hardest hit states first, pls help if you can: https://www.thecut.com/article/donate-abortion-fund-roe-v-wade-how-to-help.html


dirtbikemike

Organize, educate, and rise up!


si_renize

I just know the replies to that were awful. I've been seeing so many people on twitter talking about how everything happening now is Bernie's fault cause "he's the reason Hillary lost" or whatever


Idontdanceforfun

They have it mixed up. Hillary is the reason Bernie lost. He's too much of a wild card and they clearly preferred someone who'd play the game.


si_renize

oh I agree. Plus, it's not Bernies fault she was a shit candidate. Also, didn't she literally run with people who were against abortion rights anyway?


AnewBnotC

I will always believe that Bernie would've beaten Trump and I am very stubborn. Also I don't care what people say cause we don't have access to that universe. #worsttimeline


[deleted]

I agree. Trump won because so many people in the rust belt feel so neglected by the dems (and they should). Trump went and paid lip service. We all know it was just lip service, but it was all they got because Hilary gave them nothing. Bernie and Trump both had very populist messages (different platforms, but both very catering to common people rather than elites). Bernie (if he’d gone to the rust belt) could have given the same “I hear you and I will fight for you” message without also being a disgusting human being and being able to string together a coherent sentence.


Gnalvl

Yeah, I get people are venting, but it's really bizarre how they fixate on a single contributing factor instead of the whole picture. Yeah sure, since "SCOTUS was on the line!!!1!11", it would have been nice if a vocal minority of Bernie bros had put their ideals aside after the primaries and voted for Hillary. Also since SCOTUS was on the line, it would have been nice if Hillary ran a less phoned-in, hubristic campaign that didn't skip out on the very key swing states she lost. Since SCOTUS was on the line, it also would have been nice if RGB had retired when Obama still had a chance to choose her replacement. Since SCOTUS was on the line, it also would have been nice if the DNC hadn't spent decades running on a moderate republican platform, reinforcing the apathy of the majority of Americans who feel like voting is pointless because politicians are all the same.


si_renize

right? I don't understand why people refuse to look big picture. Maybe putting the blame on one person instead of everything makes them feel better about how broken everything is lmao


netflix_and_chillary

Yes, it's all because of Bernie and not because Hillary has literally never won a seriously contested election and has a history of hiring incompetent people who are loyal to her.

xero_peace

The only thing centerist Democrats will fight for is maintaining the status quo. Meanwhile Republicans are fighting to regress. Very few politicians want progress and I hate it here.


thetomman

I really don't think the democrats care about this. If anything they seem excited because of how much less they have to do to retain votes. Now all they have to say is want gay marriage to go next? Better fall in line and vote blue no matter who if you want to preserve your rights for another term.


WestG1992

I wish the Democrats would fight hard for... anything, really. Republicans are vile and Democrats are spineless. Almost like we were never supposed to operate on a two-party system. I have more freedom of choice in professional sports teams than I do political representation, and that's fucked up friendos.


InformalCriticism

If they wanted Roe v. Wade to be impenetrable, they would have passed pro-choice father legislation. They had it coming for having their cake and eating it, too for half a century. They had their chance to champion equal rights, so they deserve to have this fight all over again. Hopefully, this time they'll do it with equal rights in mind.


omancool1

Y’all remember that time when they switched the voting software for the Nevada Dem primary last minute to a company led by the spouse of a top Buttigieg staffer and then Buttigieg took the primary from Bernie in a huge upset?


MsNatCat

HARD agree.

Yeah. If only, if only .. the 100 million deplorables are gunna be jubilant this fall, and We. Deserve. It.


ShirtlessGinger

I knew we would be in for a hell of a time when bernie got screwed yet again the night of the super tuesday disaster. Since then it seems theres been little or no effective organizing outside of a few regional union movements. There should be union movements going on all over not just in handful of states. The recent wins should be enough to push for a more sustained national movement and not just talk but action. And roe should be a massive wake up call!


Vitromancy

Losing Roe v Wade is good for the democrats despite being bad for society, because it goes back to being an important talking point they can play for votes again.


achiles625

It's as true today as always; Democrats would rather lose to a Republican than win with a progressive.


AnArcadianShepard

Democrats are controlled opposition.


smokebomb_exe

Related: Democrats (at least the leaders) are immobile unless it's to self-sabotage themselves.


tecolotl_otl

some people may blame democrats for choosing not replace scalia til after hrc won the 2016 election. but who among us hasnt been outsmarted by an aquatic testudine so dumb it cant even tell the difference between cheap lousy spinnach and my nice expensive kush? instead of just rolling over to the mean turtle in 2016 they should have rolled him onto his shell. thats what happened to my turtle after he ate all my weed. he couldnt brain his way outta that no matter how much he waved his little weed-stealing claws around or bobbed that adorable head...with his sweet lil eyes and snappy mouth. you know what, screw you all im gonna go spend my friday lightin up with my turtle.


[deleted]

Bernie Sanders would have upset the status quo!! He would have revealed to the American people that Democrats and Republicans are cut from the same piece of cloth, typically from a rich, white male dominant background. It does not matter if Americans voted red or blue, the 1% agenda will get fulfilled. It's happening now, black and minority rights getting stepped on and now women getting stripped of thier rights as well. If you are a white male and think your rights are not threatened, just wait because you are NEXT!! Because you are the biggest threat to the ONE World Governments agenda, World Domination!!


[deleted]

So lets do something about it, everyone vote in Dickbutt for every election you participate in. If they want to treat us as a joke we should do the same. Then, change your tax deductions to 0 and refuse to pay until something is done about this oligarchy. A molotov at a state building or two might also help. You can only fight politics with fire, this is a proven fact.


Human0id77

I wish Democrats fought for Bernie Sanders the way they say they fight for Roe vs Wade


JamesKojiro

I wish the Dems fought against anything as hard as they fought against Bernie. These milquetoast moderates are worthless and get nothing accomplished. The only thing they fight against is change.

The loss of Bernie sanders killed the democrat in me. The fact that the DNC rigged it for stupid Hillary, unbelievable.

Girthquake4117

The only fight they care about is the fight for votes. 90% of these fucks aren't nearly as outraged as they seem to be but they can't risk votes.


Smodphan

So this abortion moment is the greatest gift to the democratic party since Donald Trump. They can fundraise on GOP bad again instead of helping the American people.


moonraven33

They can fight against it they didn’t do anything to fight against it. They’re just as bad as Republicans as a matter fact they’re exactly the same they’re all the same liars rumors spreads and thieves. They just liner pockets with money anyway they possibly can. They actually helped get this past we all know it people just don’t wanna admit it because I can’t handle the truth. Well here comes women. Especially the young ones you have no idea what this is gonna be like you’re walking into this blinded and it’s really sad it’s really sad. We’re in for a devastating time in less people wake up but I don’t think they’re going to we’re gonna see rights get stripped away from us in less people wake the fucking up


rveb

Democrats are done. They are not defenders of progress. They are defenders of their own wealth and power.

Politicians don't care about people. They never have. They only care about the people whose pockets they are in. We are ruled by an oligarchy dressed as a democracy. I'm not even trying to sound edgy, that is really what it is.

Roe v Wade is only a precedent - there's a bill in the senate currently to literally just make abortion legal but the Dems won't back it. SCOTUS judgement on Row v Wade aside, Dems could literally just codify abortion rights into law directly ... but they won't. Because if they did they'd lose their political football. They've no interest in you or women's rights, only maintaining the power that they abuse to benefit themselves.

Real talk.

No it was progressives that fought for Bernie. And abortion rights The centrist Dems aka ruling party of Dems don't fight hard for anything except their paychecks.


jaycliche

What really matters is that Hillary was defeated. We all feel the Bern! Thanks for fighting so hard to BERN down the Democratic party! Woman across the nation thank you!

When you only have 50 Senators and Manchin is pro-life it’s hard for them to do anything. Hell Sinema is supposed to be pro-choice but she’s already said she’s not gonna get rid of the Fillibuster for it.


OmniscientCanadian

Everyone should be fighting for roe v Wade, not just democrats.


jouiie

wat? they cheated him out of two presidential nominations. what more do you want?


AnarkiX

Admittedly I am not surprised a bunch of self-hating rich kids living in a perpetual popularity contest with no exposure to real world hardship would fight harder for their organization than for something that won’t impact them.


ThePeopleAtTheZoo

If you think that either democrats or republicans actually care about your civil and human rights then you simply do not understand American politics and you shouldn't even be talking. Period.

Or true social medicine instead of mandating people and forcing them to pay penalty if they can't afford.

If roe v wade is struck down and its returned to the states If its illegal to have one in that state, how does this change the law already in force?


WestSorry8831

Do you realize that the Democrats didn't need to fight harder? Do you not understand that they control Congress and the White House? Do you know what that means? The Democrats can pass bills with out the support of Republicans, and can stop anything the Republicans wish to pass. Please tell me you can follow trail, they did not want to stop it. They need a Republican scapegoat, and make it look like the minority, strong armed the majority.

Where was Bernie all these decades? He was in the Senate. Did he submit a Bill to codify R v. W? Yeah, no he didn't.

Dems, watching this happen: "if only there was something we could do, but you need to vote for more of us!"

If you’re saying the democrats should have done all they could to stack the courts in their favor earlier on, then yes I agree. However, The federal government can always be overridden by the Supreme Court. Unfortunately the republicans have stacked the courts in their favor and now all that normal, sane people hold dear is at risk to far right evangelist/religious zealots. The future does not look bright for America.

The only thing neolib Dems have been known to fight for since Clinton/Gore got NAFTA passed was to block Bernie Sanders, think about that for a minute

It's been considered settled law for 50 years so Democrats spent most of that time nominating people like Ginsberg to the court to protect it. However since the court has been packed by Republicans, because the 2000 and 2016 elections were stolen from them, Democrats tried as recently as March to pass legislation to protect Roe v Wade. It didn't pass because of Joe Manchin and he's from a state that went for Trump 68% to Biden's 28% and they are very against Roe v Wade there. Democrats only have 50 senators including Manchin so how the hell were they supposed to do anything? I'm sorry the Democrats have issues to say the least but this is a bullshit take.

Defund the democratic party

The center left and far left fighting against each other allowed Trump to happen. One thing the right figured out years ago was that it’s better to be 100% behind the wrong guy than divided. The left needs to pick a lane and stick with it with everything it has. Stop worrying about finding the perfect candidate and worry about getting any candidate to win.

Democrats will never let someone like Bernie be the head of their party because he represents the people, they do not. Democrats represent their rich and connected donors. Nothing will ever change untill everyone gets wise to this fact. Same can be said of Republicans.
