    The voters have cut off the Democrat’s arms and now they’re wondering why they aren’t doing anything?

    I’ve wondered why the progressives are bitching when they haven’t done a single meaningful thing in a hundred years.

      Hey I know we could have stood together to defeat this person that keeps beating you, but I’m going to continue not helping you and now I’m going to ridicule you more for not doing more as they now lean into beating your ass.

      Make this about anything other than a political party and its fuuucked

      The Democrats cut off their own arms when they rigged their own primary 3 elections in a row. They cut off their own arms when Chuck Schumer gave into everything the Republicans wanted without even negotiating. They cut off their own arm when they refused to do anything the progressives wanted.

      They are owned by billionaires and the billionaires have decided they will keep the Democrats around so the voters see the imaginary choice.

      2016 was an opportunity to change the direction of the country and they decided that business as usual was good enough and the electorate has been paying for it ever since.

          What exactly did he do? Did he not fund a genocide? Did he not force rail workers to not strike? Did he not keep saying the economy is good while homelessness and medical debt continued to get out of control?

          Edit: all your down votes demonstrate why the Democrats lost the election. You can’t just ignore the voters and expect them to still vote for you.

      The progressive did everything good the democrats did not. Idk even know your definition of “progressives” but the suffraggettes were progressive, the civil rights movement was progressive, black lives matter was progressive. All the democrats did was coopt every single one of those movements and wash them down, and roll the red carpet for fascists like trump. Moderatism is what opens the road to fascism. Quit licking the boot of the milquetoast idiots who should have protected democracy

          First of all, I am not “the progressives”, I am not taking credit for anything, quit thinking like “us vs them”. Second of all, what you described is what dems are doing right now, saying that anybody who criticized their inaction is the cause for their inaction. I am merely stating that those who changed the world are those that acted radically, not moderately.

          This simple fact, it seems, makes your butt burn
