How come they have every procedural trick in the book, shown to them in the last four years, thrn drop it all the moment they have thr opportunity to use it?
Make them get 60 votes before they can order a pizza for an all-nighter. Turn renaming a courthouse into a month long revival of the Ringling Brothers Circus.
If they wanted to, they would do it. They aren’t doing it, which means they don’t want to.
Yes, they were shown the procedural trick of not having a minority in both houses of congress and having a favorable Supreme Court. Once they learn those two small procedural tricks they’ll be unstoppable.
The DNC have always been collaborators to the billionaire class.
So is anybody who didn’t vote for them.
If you don’t like that those two things can be true at once, then go change the US electoral system.
But anyone can do the politics, the rallying the resisting. I don’t see why you’d specifically ask the Democratic Party, unless you expect them to do some legislative thing.
You’re saying it doesn’t make sense that we use people closest to the problem to address the problem?
They’re not saviors, they can’t be the only ones doing it. But to not use them would be idiotic.
No, I’m very much saying the same thing. Presumably, folks in the Democratic Party have some amount of expertise in doing public talking and organizing, so involving them is great. But many of these pleas just sound like folks expect Democratic Party politicians to wave their wand and make it all good again, even though there is no wand, they don’t have some special magic to make the politics happen. Every single person can just as well go out and organize. Every single person who’s complaining about the Democratic Party not doing enough, should be doing things themselves.
Of course, I cannot know, if the person who made this post doesn’t actually also do that. In principle, this post is rallying the Democratic Party.

Democratic part: We’re only here for the power, not the work
They have the democratic mandate.
Primary all of these DINOs!
The Dems need a Huey Long.
But their current voter base couldn’t handle a Huey Long.
That sounds like work, how about we just release a statement condemning it in a way that doesn’t affect future electability
It is astounding to me how far Americans can go down the fascist rabbit hole while still making it about the Dems. They will be marched to the camps whining all the way about why the Dems are letting it happen.
People focus on the Democrats instead of the Republicans because they still have hope the Democrats will actually do the right thing.
The Republicans have crossed the moral event horizon. They are irredeemably evil, complete monsters. Trying to influence them to change for the better is pointless, so that’s why people don’t bother to do it.
