Democrats have exactly zero power outside of sitting back and watching.

And yet they'll still somehow get blamed for everything that's coming.

The republicans have held the minority many times and obstructed the fuck out of our government. If Dems really care they can do a lot to prevent shit in congress.

We will see how much they actually care in the next 2 years

Jokes on the Republicans-- Democrats like to watch [their party get effed]. So republicans are giving the democratic leadership exactly what it wants. We win again.

Good news! That's what they'd be doing if they had power too!

We need a DNC chair that's not afraid to normalize primaries against Dem incumbents.

Otherwise someone in Pelosi's district for example has no say in their representative, a bad incumbent would just deptess turnout until they die in office or a Republican flips the seat.

When an incumbent is defended no matter what and has millions in dirty money from the last general it's not a fair primary.

And for Dem voters, active primaries turn into increased general turnout because people are invested in the process.

The issue is the DNC has been run by people who put "party loyalty" above all else, which sounds OK until you realize the loyalty isn't to voters, it's to donors.

"Blue no matter who" doesn't work on Dem voters when they didn't have any say in the candidate. It's not uniting, it's blindly following. And Republicans will always be better at that.

Less than half of all eligible voters voted. Yes, non voters essentially voted for Trump but it’s not the same thing as literally voting for and endorsing the dumb demented fat fascist.

The majority of eligible voters are just morons that have been successfully distracted and confused (because they’re so dumb).

There is value in the distinction, even tho that value may be quite small in context

His idea of "helping the working class" consists of tariffs that don't work the way he says they do and a very likely catastrophic mass deportation program.

And people did vote for those somehow.

Right? Like, this is who we are, and who we are is stupid and easily manipulated.

The majority did not.

You don’t get to vote outside of your own state for senators or representatives. Voting in your state doesn’t change the fact that other states have different priorities, and sometimes it feels like they’re just completely out of touch. My state has a Democratic majority in almost every part of our government, yet we’re still stuck with a president and federal government that most people here didn’t want or vote for. It's frustrating because the system lets other states have so much power in choosing the president, even when it doesn't reflect the will of people in places like mine.

Biden already said that the US doesn’t recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. Aaaaand Kamala ran on a pro-fracking platform.

I mean, jfc do you people have the memory of goldfish or were you just not paying attention in the first place? Proud to be one of the 13 million, personally. Have fun voting for Liz Cheney when she runs as a democrat in four years!

Hey man i didn't vote for the assholes
