"I'm a better person than Donald Trump!"

*liberals swoon*

That's not precisely what I mean lol but I get it...

This isn't the thread to argue about it anyway I shouldn't have brought it up.

I appreciate that the Dems are at least trying to fight for something right now.

So if appealing to the grouchy toddlers that are the American voting public is the standard

IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE STANDARD and unless you are so insulated in a bubble of privilege that it doesn’t matter to you if the Republic falls, you had better make it literally the most important thing there is.

Rudyard Kipling admired those who could “walk with kings and keep the common good touch.” Lefties disdain the common touch at our national peril.

I'm not arguing she has any obligation to do anything here but what exactly was her message and why was it the right one?

It was fundamental.

She presented as decent, honest, and not about hate.

Her party and she are for the healthcare programs that already existed to the benefit of many Americans.

She cares about the country. Trump is hardly a bug compared to her. The choice was obvious.

I will guess that you think there was some special magical code message that would have made America see that they were on a path they didn't want to be on. 

It was right there in what you saw.

America voted for the opposite of everything named above. The country identified itself absolutely by the vast majority win of the Trumpists and the acquiescent.

Tactics mattered not a damn. The Americans rejected outright basic values. Laugh at it all you want, but there was no message that would work. The right message is not always the winning message.

America rejected Kamala because she's black and a woman.  And she was tied too closely to Biden's policies.

But she was far and away the better candidate.  The country would be in a very different (and better) place today if she had been elected.

Exactly.  The filibuster is a farce.  The majority has repeatedly made exemptions whenever they really really want a law passed or a nominee confirmed.  It is a shield, that is it.  The only reason the pubs have not made an exception for it in this case is cause they think they can do what they want regardless and score some political points in the process.  Furthermore, they know the dems are such pussies and rule followers that they will let them override their entire agenda if they ever return to power with this stupid rule.   It is a way for the majority to NOT do something, and still get to blame the opposition.  So get rid of it.  It changes nothing except provides an excuse to blame the powerless for the consequences. 

This is a campaign slogan. Go man!  Serious.

I don't disagree with most of this, but again I should not have brought it up this is the wrong thread.

Government shutdown thread is 12 pages long and is largely supposed Dem supporters shitting on all the Dems which is exactly what the right wing media and politicians planned/expected. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so predictable.

You trying to tell me there isn't a shitload of misogyny and racism in America today?  Trump's made it OK to be a shitbag again.

Her and many others threw in their lot with the Democratic establishment in an active attempt to combat actual energetic grassroots movement specifically in order to protect the wealth of massive corporatized industry. My interest in hearing from any Democratic Party power-player or 2020-primary-sellout is below 0%.

Wouldn't it be great now if there was any kind of youthful energy on the "left" side of this thing? Nah, at least she got her bite at the apple along with the other sellout losers.

Say something bold. Propose something meaningful. Don't just pat yourself smugly on the back you fucking jackals.

Pennies make dollars, and defense and corporations are actually purposeful.   

Knew this was going to be the predictable response.  But it always fails.  Because everyone knows that the DOGE never looked into it.  They never bothered with the department that was failing audits.  Because, no one was actually interested in rooting out waste, fraud, or abuse.  Defense is purposeful, DARPA is a wonderful developer of technology that we all enjoy.   But feeding and educating people is also purposeful.  Tomorrows workers are not going to be here if we do not develop them.  If you think highly of the American military might, you might want people smart enough and healthy enough to fill those roles in the future, unless you want them to recruit Russian style.

Look under your feet.  There's ground.  Touch it.  It's going to be OK - not everything has to be hyperbolic and hysterical. 


Imagine saying that to a Jewish person in 1930s Germany or Poland. “Hey, it’s not so bad, you can touch the ground.”

Imagine saying that to an immigrant in the United States today, even if that person is here legally and has followed everything they have been asked to do.

Imagine saying that to a trans person in the United States today.

Imagine saying that to a Mormon person in Michigan who just had their church shot up and burned down by a right wing gun nut.

Imagine saying that to a single mom in Texas who works her ass off to feed her kids and now she might lose her Medicaid coverage.

Imagine saying that to a person who lost their livelihood simply for repeating a post of Charlie Kirk’s own words, in a way that perhaps his own words made him look a wee bit racist or misogynistic, and it got MAGA snowflakes triggered for portraying him negatively.

All of those people should apparently look at the ground at touch it and be thankful they live in Trump’s America. Praise be.

The president is talking about going to war with people he doesn't like, people who didn't vote for him, stripping citizenship from people he doesn't like, going to war with blue states, etc. Talking about using US cities as "training grounds" for our military. But yeah, touch ground.
