I know, their response is driving me absolutely nuts. So weak. Where is the aggressive messaging? They desperately need it right now. Instead the House Dems outside Capitol Hill singing "God Bless America"… SMFH

Exactly.
I know how the fucking government works. But that doesnt mean I need to accept the people I worked my ass off to elect having such a timid response and demeanor. The world has changed overnight for millions of people and this is the best this fucking party and administration can muster?
Wheres the outrage? Wheres the fight? Wheres the plan moving forward? They had so much fucking time to prepare for this shit. Why are these motherfuckers always so cowardly and fearful? How can people even think these fucks even give a shit about us?
Like bro I dont give a fuck about decorum, bipartisanship, going high when they go low. Fuck that. I want to win, and these weak ass people make me feel like a fucking idiot for supporting them.
This is how I feel. I was more accountable for bad outcomes at a goddamn Papa John's, regardless of whether or not they were my fault. These people have ours and future generations' quality of life in their hands and we can't even shore up consistent messaging on how Republicans are literally going to be the death of us all because the Party leaders are friends with these ghouls. Seriously, how am I supposed to feel when Pelosi says "we need a strong Republican party" when a Republican party that theoretically has less representation across the branches than my team does is nonethless able to sow this much chaos?
Like, I could be emotionally better with the reality of their inability to effectively do anything with the votes they have, like I could go "Yeah, this is bullshit but we can win it back" if the rhetoric were actually substantial and inspiring. Republicans do that shit all the time; they will make villainous monologues out of nothing-ass, culture war bullshit like Mr. Potato Head being rebranded. Where the fuck is the fire?
It's telling the only thing democrats had ready were the goddamn fundraising machine. Thats all they care about. In fact, they probably enjoy losing because then they can just focus 100% of their time begging for money and playing golf with their republican buddies.
Theres no fire. No urgency. No plan of action. No leadership. No desire to make things better. Just lukewarm suggestions to vote. Their constituents are at the bottom of their priority. Worst of all, they'll do anything to stop progressives or anyone in their party that are at least trying to accomplish something. Wheres that fucking energy against the people who are undoing democracy in real time?
Goddamn bunch of fucking clowns.
I'm glad the last few pages turned back to frustration with the dems without much blowback "iT's NoT tHeIr fAuLt".
Yeah, it's not, but being a progressive democrat is still an insanely frustrating experience. Where the hell is the rage? The motivation? I feel like losing Roe should be some defcon 2 shit. They actually managed to topple it after a fifty-year battle. Women's rights could crumble soon. And yet things feel relatively... normal. We voted you all in, find a way to stop it.
Trying to play fair against a party of literal children who will never play by the rules, ugh. It's insane to even think that we're in this situation thanks to a president that most of the country factually didn't want, with the stars aligning for him to stack the court in R's favor. Blowing a justice through one month before an election when they argued a president should never do that in an entire election year while under Obama. It's all such utter horseshit. Fuck the GOP so motherfucking much. Dems need to figure out how to stop these fuckers in their tracks.

To be fair, a lot of the criticisms early in the thread were revisionist takes blaming Obama when we know he didn't have the votes and could barely get a conservative healthcare plan through despite how fucking hard he tried, and blaming Pelosi when the House has nothing to do with the Supreme Court. The recent criticism is on how they're responding right this moment.
Edit: to put another way, the last few pages have been less about how "it's their fault" (which many posters were absolutely saying) and more about them not "meeting the moment."

Obama's presidency was probably the height of progressivism in this country - which really isnt saying much - but I wonder if it'll ever happen again. Seems like a pipe dream ago.
Black man and a liberal (centrist)? Totally broke this country with those 8 years. Masks came off on his inauguration.
It will never not be insane to me that a man who was caught on tape saying "grab her by the pussy" got elected as president and we are still suffering for it and will be suffering for it for generations to come. Like if there was ever an indication that we need to rethink the entire democracy thing it's the last five years.
The one-upmanship of online click-whores looking for the hottest take to shit on democrats is exhausting.
This is one of the few things where the status-quo of the past decades was fine. Democrats, if anything, have been smeared as the abortion on demand party. Most people are pro-choice. But most of those people support some restrictions. That sounds like a Democratic politician to me.
On other issues like... Climate. Guns. Healthcare. There are people in the base that are not on the same wave-length. They don't see how squaring the circle we got now is actually getting us to a place they can call a success.
Team MAGA hit 3 home runs or hail mary's might be more apt in this case.
And morons are yelling for Democrats to take those points off the board after the fact somehow.

Yeah that pretty much encapsulates the difference between the two parties and their attitudes towards women. You'd be finished as a liberal if you said something like that, but for conservatives it's just "locker room talk."
Funny how the poor dems never "have the votes", not when it's 50/50 majority, not when it's 60 majority. There are always these rotating villains. Then you have establishment democrats like Pelosi and Clyburn who actively campaigns against progressive candidate for a force-birth incumbent.
It's almost as if the liberal democrats don't actually give a shit and will simply use the demon republicans as fund-raising machines without actually doing anything. Meanwhile, republicans run the circus even without 50 votes. Interesting how that works.
But corrupt Pelosi will jump on the first chance to read you an imperialist poem whitewashing apartheid Israel, while married to the "most successful trader" raking in millions off of pandemic. It's only a matter of time before she bring Lin-Manuel Miranda out again to beg for votes, but, copium, this time the dems will surely do something!
Or it's almost as if voters didn't actually prioritize or care about codifying Roe and voted in candidates accordingly, which is true despite a quote from Obama. But please, keep rewriting history so you can blame people who had no power over changing this court decision. You're doing an excellent job proving my point.
It's always weird to me when people cape for politicians despite that it is true that major progressive action is never passed due to some rotating villain in the Democratic party, leaving Democrats with nothing to run on in elections other than "look at how much worse Republicans are."
It's a rotating playbook that works great for fundraising of rich liberals but sucks for everyone who actually had to vote these people in.
Have to agree, that audio clip should have ended his campaign but it seemed to only strengthen it. Says a lot about the Republican voters in that mad country.
It actually is simple math that is a tipping point.

Magic Number In The Senate? It's Not 60. It's Joe Lieberman.
A decade later it was John McCain as the vote on the same issue.
The system is very not good but how to you make it easier to do good things while not creating a double-edged sword that empowers bad actors as much or more?

I'm not caping shit. I just don't have rose tinted glasses for how likely progressive legislation would pass in 2008. Some of you are straight up delusional for what was likely to pass back then, or did everybody forget just a few years earlier in 2006:

I will literally have to go into a grave living how many years I will have lived by that point knowing that people walked around wearing this shirt unironically because that's how effective the radicalization efforts were.
And now five years later we're dealing with the nearly irreparable damage and good lord is it the most tiring experience.
Why does a gun have more rights than my SO it makes zero sense and will never, throughout my lifetime, have made any sense.
The simple fact of the matter is that there is a subset of the population who doesn't actually give a fuck about putting in the literal bare minimum effort every election of just fucking voting in the fuckong elections, but don't want anyone to look their way when shit predictably goes sideways.
Dunno how niggas who can't stand in line for a few hours expect to actually mount a revolution, but here we are.
Wow, that's certainly a t-shirt choice!I will literally have to go into a grave living how many years I will have lived by that point knowing that people walked around wearing this shirt unironically because that's how effective the radicalization efforts were.

This is what bothers me so much.
Every single day Dems should scream about how evil the Republicans are EVERY SINGLE DAY. They should scream about how the court is illegitimate, how Gerrymandering, the Fillibuster, and the Electoral College essentially makes progress impossible and also makes this country anti-democratic.
Dems don't do ANYTHING while Republicans call them evil, it's pathetic.
When history looks back at this era they won't go "well Dems just wanted to do their job and take the high road", no one cares.
There's no other option available, quit your purity testing.

A 10-year-old was forced to cross state lines for an abortion after Ohio's ban went into place. The Indiana doctor who helped her will soon be unable to assist others
A 10-year-old was forced to cross state lines for an abortion after Ohio's ban went into place. The Indiana doctor who helped her will soon be unable to assist others.
As Ohio outlawed abortions after six weeks, doctors in neighboring Indiana described an influx of patients from out-of-state seeking the procedure, including a pregnant 10-year-old.
Texas Supreme Court revives century old abortion ban after Roe vs Wade is overturned. If you were thinking that in some states with split control, the Democratic governor can stop the Republican legislature from passing abortion bans, the state courts (if Republican dominated) can just interpret the old bans as having been revived.
Marshal of the Supreme Court asks Maryland and Virginia officials to enforce anti-picketing laws
Supreme Court marshal asked Maryland and Virginia governors to protect justices. Here's what they said.
The marshal of the Supreme Court is asking Maryland officials to direct law enforcement to enforce the state's laws prohibiting picketing outside the homes of Supreme Court justices, according to letters sent to Gov. Larry Hogan and Mark Elrich, the county executive of Montgomery County.
www.cnn.com
Fuck that. Make every one of these shitheads miserable to their dying day.
The state should repeal laws about picketing Supreme Court justices homes. It's discriminatory, and unconstitutional. Also the American public should be provided with justices full and complete medical history.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory seems to be an objective. Why the fuck would you do this? The optics are horrific and demoralizing.
Anti-picketing laws? Sounds unconstitutional to me.
Or maybe blue states should pass anti-pocketing laws for minority owned businesses and abortion clinics 🤔

Very interested how the Republican Maryland governor navigates this.
He's gone soon anyway and can't run again. He won't touch it.
Edit: Oh sorry, I see you are talking about the picketing thing. I thought you meant if he'd try to outlaw abortion in MD.
I was talking about the picketing thing but didn't realize he'd be gone soon. So it's not really that interesting after all since he will face no consequences for whatever he does.
The NYT publishes a lot of terrible opinion pieces but this one is fucking terrible.
Well, you didn't know that saying trans rights are human rights is exactly like being a Nazi...?In the meantime, NYT Op-eds continue to come in hot and heavy with equating trans acceptance and visibility with Roe v Wade being overturned lol
Anyway, what else is new from the fascist enablers at the NYT.
At this rate the next time someone complains about how the librul media keeps pushing liberal propaganda, my eyes are going to roll so far and wide they'll start orbiting the solar system.
And people still want to trust this guy on getting anything that's truly meaningful done? This is one of the reasons that makes me regret my vote for him & vote 3rd party from now on.
And I was already starting to vote 3rd party in 2020 like I've done back in 2012 when Obama had also lied about Roe among other shit. I'm through voting for anymore neoliberal, conservative Democrats.
Bingo.
