The voters have cut off the Democrat’s arms and now they’re wondering why they aren’t doing anything?
I’ve wondered why the progressives are bitching when they haven’t done a single meaningful thing in a hundred years.
Incorrect as usual. Way to keep it up.
Way to rebut any of my points.
You haven’t made a point worth discussing.
Hey there’s no need to call me a progressive.
Progress in the wrong direction is still progress.
So is that the plan?
Help Trump get elected by sitting back and doing nothing and next thing you know it’s a socialist utopia?
Trump would be proud of that nickname.
I’m so glad you’re impressing your daddy.
And I’m the one making points not worth discussing?
Yep.
I think the problem isn’t that I’m not worth your time I think you don’t have an answer.
You're not worth my time. We all know you're a troll.
I’m worth your time to respond to but not meaningfully?
I hope they're at least paying you for this lmao
Hey I know we could have stood together to defeat this person that keeps beating you, but I'm going to continue not helping you and now I'm going to ridicule you more for not doing more as they now lean into beating your ass.
Make this about anything other than a political party and its fuuucked
Are you taking about all the people who thought voting third party or not voting was better than voting for Harris?
And are now acting like they're the smartest and most morally correct people to grace this earth?
Yes
It’s the progressive’s time to actually do something but instead they’re standing around slack-jawed wondering why the democrats aren’t saving the day.
Progressives are not just standing around: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/23/bernie-sanders-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-democrats
Oh Bernie is rallying?
The Democrats cut off their own arms when they rigged their own primary 3 elections in a row. They cut off their own arms when Chuck Schumer gave into everything the Republicans wanted without even negotiating. They cut off their own arm when they refused to do anything the progressives wanted.
They are owned by billionaires and the billionaires have decided they will keep the Democrats around so the voters see the imaginary choice.
2016 was an opportunity to change the direction of the country and they decided that business as usual was good enough and the electorate has been paying for it ever since.
Biden did so much good during his time in office and the voters decided they liked not being able to buy toilet paper again.
What exactly did he do? Did he not fund a genocide? Did he not force rail workers to not strike? Did he not keep saying the economy is good while homelessness and medical debt continued to get out of control?
Edit: all your down votes demonstrate why the Democrats lost the election. You can't just ignore the voters and expect them to still vote for you.
How’s the economy now?
Just because it's worse now doesn't mean he did a good job
Do you remember how things were when Biden took over?
The progressive did everything good the democrats did not. Idk even know your definition of "progressives" but the suffraggettes were progressive, the civil rights movement was progressive, black lives matter was progressive. All the democrats did was coopt every single one of those movements and wash them down, and roll the red carpet for fascists like trump. Moderatism is what opens the road to fascism. Quit licking the boot of the milquetoast idiots who should have protected democracy
Did you really just take credit for everything good that’s happened while passing anything bad to the democrats?
First of all, I am not "the progressives", I am not taking credit for anything, quit thinking like "us vs them". Second of all, what you described is what dems are doing right now, saying that anybody who criticized their inaction is the cause for their inaction. I am merely stating that those who changed the world are those that acted radically, not moderately.
This simple fact, it seems, makes your butt burn
The Democrats cut that shit off and offered it as appeasement. The fuck you on about?
