    It’s hilarious that they still consider “bipartisan progress” a useful frame. The only direction trump and co are progressing is towards solidifying fascism. Compromising with that is just helping them.

    The Democrat party claims they want to be a big tent party, but they’re doing a piss poor job of getting a majority of voters to come into their tent.

        I don’t think the Democrats should try to make a party for everyone. I don’t think that’s even possible. Fortunately, democracy doesn’t require unanimous consensus. A simple majority will do.

      From what I can tell, much of the 49% that voted Democrat is actively rooting for the starvation of America right now. It’s not a good look when basic food staples are becoming cost-prohibitive and your party is seen to be supportive of it.

      Then there are the Democrats with actual power in Washington, they’re just doing what they always do: making speeches and voting for the interests of the wealthy, who don’t even need the money anyway.

        48.3% of those who voted in the 2024 presidential election, voted for Harris. However, those voters represent less than 1/3 of all eligible voters, far from a majority.

    Late to the party again Democrats. I swear, it’s only when the jackboots are on their necks do they even get out of bed.

      I mean it is worth considering if there is a way to make America by the people for the people again without an uprising by force. Seems unlikely. Now we’re just all waiting for the oligarchs to fuck up the world beyond repair & hope we get our moment, but they’ll just leave for space & wait for us to all die.
