Knowing the Democrats, they would probably get the expansion then fail to confirm any judges, allowing Trump to fill every seat.

They way apathy is being sowed for democrats there is no chance we will have anyone but GOP in power.

Apathy doesn't get sown, enthusiasm does. Apathy is the default and it's the job of a politician to inspire.

The seeds of apathy were sowed a decade ago when they stopped fighting for what their voters actually wanted and instead ran solely on being the better alternative to an authoritarian dick bag for simply being establishment politicians. Those seeds have taken root and sprouted now that voters have seen the Dems' are incapable of getting over their own hubris.

Voters actually wanted a fascist. That’s what we got now and maybe forever because so many like you are willing to cut off your nose to spite your face. To let perfection prevent progress.

The problem is voters on both sides want a fascist. They might not be able to agree on which person they want to give ultimate power to, but they know that everyone else should fall in line and agree with them unquestioningly.

You realize Biden went around congress to ship weapons to Israel despite the majority of his own voters being against it?

We've been voting for fascists for a while now.

Dems should really do something about that. This is hindsight but seems to me like they should have tried a bit harder to win the only election that will matter moving forward.

I weep for the timeline where Bernie won the 2020 primary.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

It's OK bb. I want to live in your fantasy, too.

They tried. Claiming they didn’t is the sowing apathy thing that I was referring to. Too many people shitting on every little thing the Democratic Party does even when that leads to Trump being in power.

They tried and failed. What good are they? Check the calender, they've been failing for decades.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

They won 3 of the last 5 elections. But as long as people like yourself keep shitting on them the GOP will keep growing in power.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Seriously, it's not my fault. I've voted for them and I've shilled for them. The party is a sunk cost. Just look at merrick garlin or dick durbin. Im seriously not the problem.

Nah the dems would fill every seat. They'd still give republicans a majority to reach over the aisle

He doesn't care about us. None of them do. The only time he's done anything to actually stand up against the rising tide of shit we're all experiencing has been to defend his own son.

The supreme Court has given him incredible power, and he's a lame duck president. He should be doing everything possible to make improvements for us and ruin Trump's agenda, but instead he's going to throw up his hands and ride off into the sunset with his failson.

Probably best to just reduce it by 5. Messily.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Don't get me excited.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

If you do that now, there will not be enough time to confirm the additions before the repugs come in and trash them.
