It’s interesting how when the Democrats are in power they struggle to get legislation across the line, get “outraged” when Republicans stymie their efforts, and eventually agree to cut bills down to the point where they’re achieving a fraction of what they were supposed to.
But when Republicans are in power, Dems seem incapable of putting up any resistance and cry to their voters that if only they just had a few more donation dollars they’d be able to defeat fascism and then turn around and let the Republicans pass whatever awful legislation they want.
That was one of the reasons I was excited that Walz was on the ticket. The democrats in MN passed a lot of progressive legislation with a 1 seat majority.
Nailed it. That’s the scheme. Provides plausible deniability, while keeping half of the electorate from seeking options that would hurt the corporate bottom line.
I cussed out one of those donation seeker calls. I feel bad about it. It was one of the worst rants I think I’ve ever done. They used my number from the 2020 election to call and ask for money in 2025. Furious.
It’s a bit more than performative. It’s pacifying. It manages to convince a lot of people that it does everything in its power so said people shouldn’t feel like there’s anything else to be done but vote again next time.
Ranked choice voting already exists in several local and state races, most recently DC. It’s mostly blue states, because Democrats tend to allow it. Several Republican states have legislation banning it statewide, but such laws are entirely absent in blue states.
Both sides the same!!! Except no one changes my voting district, because one to many black people moved in!
Imagine living in a balanced voting district that hasn’t changed in years. Where ideas change the outcome, not a congress and a judge distorting public power.
Anyway both sides bad and nothing weird about southern states and their voting districts.
That’s when Bernie starts making a hell of a noise and proposing the most progressive bills he knows will never make it.
You would have to be really stupid to fall for this, and there’s a saying for it too but when even one of their presidents can’t even recite that you know they are a lost cause.

Controlled ops, and Dem leaders are Republicans
It only takes a few corrupt Democrats to turn a plain majority into a stalemate.

Their opposition is purely performative.

Ranked choice voting would help big time. But neither party will ever allow it.

They only have one party
Correct on both counts.
