    “The Democrats in Congress are deranged, weak, and ineffective, which is why their approval ratings are at historic lows.”

    I mean except for deranged he’s not wrong. They need to be making the case to the public too but they are terrible communicators to boot.

        Dems use right wing analysts to chase the voters who vote instead of energizing the potential votes. They are a captured opposition.

        If they want their mega donor money to continue flowing in, they are expected to stay bad at it.

      Using oligarch controlled media. Just don’t forget they’re playing with that huge handicap. In addition to all hte other problems like being centre-right and pandering to the oligarchs. I’m just saying that even if they were perfect, they will still face a huge uphill battle.

        Can’t argue with that. Would feel a lot better if they were trying various strategies at least. As it is now they appear to have the ‘sit back and let Trump fail’ which may end up getting them congress again but I fear conceding the info space will have long term consequences beyond that.

        Using oligarch controlled media. Just don’t forget they’re playing with that huge handicap.

        There is no handicap; this is being covered on CNN, MSN, Newsweek, PBS, Forbes, Time, Yahoo, CNBC, USA Today, and damn near every other “Oligarch Controlled” media source you could name. They are even covering MGT and Alex Fucking Jones who are both advocating for it.

        I haven’t bothered to check but I’m sure it’s all over Xitter and BlueSky as well.

        Any American who isn’t seeing coverage of this simply isn’t paying attention to any news source at all.
