Are you all taking stupid pills? The people who didn’t want the Democrats to show up are furious at Green’s removal, at the Democrats who voted to censure him, and at Jeffries for failing to whip the Democrats who voted to censure him.
Shout it so the people in the back hear. These leftists may as well be covert fascists for the harm they are doing by being so fixated on purity tests. Maybe they are?
Remember how they envisioned a Sanders administration, how it didn’t matter that he wouldn’t have congress because he could just rule like a king. EO a healthcare system, EO a Green new Deal, EO to ban lobbying. The only difference is the new king is of a different colored silk.
This is really poorly written. Lots of vague statements and lack of context. “Also anybody who is absolute in saying 'Nobody will do this that or the other!' is being an active vote suppressor.” … It seems like you were responding to something specific that you failed to fill us in on, because this means nothing by itself. Who is the "nobody"? Is that a threat or a condemnation? How is it preventing people from voting in either case?
Now that we've seen the Democratic plan for the SOTU in action — meekly holding paddles and then allowing Al Green to get thrown under the bus — do you really think the press they've made for themselves is better than what conservative sources could have spun for an actual protest? Even Colbert dunked on them, because how could you not?
Your attempts to smear leftists involve so much reaching that it drives home how little you actually have on them, such as portraying them as having unreasonably specific and numerous demands, when what's being asked of Democratic congresspeople is that they, as Colbert's paddle said, "Try doing something." Any concrete step. Anything beyond smug lip service.
The country is on fire, and they have failed to show any urgency, resolve, resourcefulness, or courage. The most immediate threat to their midterm performance is their own complacency — look at what's happened in two months; in two years we won't even have an election.
You know...instead of this long diatribe...why exactly don't YOU help to do something. Here's the thing...YOU were enabled to put the Dems in power in 2022 and 2024, yet that didn't happen. Also...what makes you think the dems AREN'T doing anything. You do realize also that shouting at me isn't going to change things. So, you gotta participate just the same because the government is We the People, and We the People gotta clean up the mess. I have zero tolerance for people who think that voting for Jill Stein/Protest voting, or sitting out, or even purposefully not searching out what the Dems ACTUALLY are doing..
You read my mind. Definitely sharing this far and wide!
Yes, hopefully people will be reminded on what the actual tasks are.
Thank you for this. I couldn’t agree more.
You're welcome. I've seen people do this for literal years.
The people demanding Dems not show up to the STOU are likely the same people cheering Al Green getting tossed out. These people aren't ser6
You're right. the left/right on the horseshoe are always more united than the regular left/right and the center left/right.

Well said. I totally agree. I'm a progressive and I support the Democratic Party. The Left drives me nuts sometimes.
Yes, and the frustrating part, everything that Progressives like actually are popular.

This makes a lot of sense actually.

God forbid anyone post a long diatribe instead of doing something. They might produce the very post we’re commenting on.
