    We can’t just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump.

    Oh, is that what they’ve been doing? Could have fooled me.

      Democrats have won two standoffs in the current Congress, twice Republicans backs down.

      But people like you will willingly ignore that because it doesn’t fit your agenda.

          Of course you INSTANTLY downplay it. We both know there is no number that you would find acceptable because you’re not being honest about this, you just want your specific “team” to win. Anything that doesn’t fit your pre-determined, confirmation bias-based narrative “doesn’t matter”.

          They could do more if people voted for them, but since you deliberately deprived them of that ability, they can only do so much. So many fucking idiots in this country thought they were “encouraging” Democrats to do what they wanted by taking away their ability to do anything.

            I did vote for them. I’ve voted for them every election I’ve been able to participate in. I’ve been rewarded with jack shit for my efforts. Biden didn’t root out the fascists when he had the chance and now we’re fucked.

              Good for you, NOT ENOUGH people did. That’s why they’re in this situation. You’re mad at them for not doing the impossible because you personally voted for them. That is goddamn ridiculous. And now you’re spreading misinformation and downplaying what they’re trying to do in their limited capacity.

              Biden didn’t root out the fascists when he had the chance and now we’re fucked.

              What the fuck does that even mean? We’re fucked because a huge portion of likely Democratic voters either were stupid enough to believe Trump’s lies or stupid enough to think they can “punish” Democrats to get what they want.

              Democrats beat Trump in 2020 and have won a number of lesser elections but we continue to lie about them “never winning”. We can see them doing exactly what we say we want them to do (hold out in standoffs) and then we criticize them “doing nothing”.

              I’m not saying they’re perfect or I have no criticisms. I’m saying this simplistic, low-information one-size-fits-all criticism is largely inaccurate and deserves as much scrutiny as anything else.

                What the fuck does that even mean?

                Biden should have prosecuted Trump and everyone else who was involved after the insurrection on Jan. 6th especially after the Supreme Court gave him a blank check. If he’d had the backbone to use the power we gave him Trump wouldn’t have been an option in the next election.

                Democrats winning doesn’t mean shit if they don’t achieve anything while in office. They keep playing nice when they should be using all the readily available dirt to bury their opponents (and anyone in their own party that doesn’t tow the line). Having the moral high ground doesn’t mean shit when people are having their lives ruined and dying.

      I don’t think you understand what the DNC is…

      Like, just for shits and giggles, tell me what you believe the DNC should be doing right now. And I’ll probably take the two minute to explain why that has nothing to do with the DNC as an organization.

          Then you wouldn’t understand how our political system works…

          And people not understanding how our political system works, is why shit is so fucked right now…

          So…

          What if we didn’t do that and instead you just shut the fuck up

          Shit will continue to get worse and more people will literally die.

          Because of your willfully ignorance and need for anyone that helps you to care more about your feelings than correcting your defiencies

          And everyone else gets to see that you value personal pride more than the literal lives of other humans.

          Especially since you just saw this exchange and kept at the chance to show the class…

          Also, rational people are likely to just block you, and will never even attempt to explain anything to you ever again.

          Up to you if that’s a path you want to keep walking down with others.
