It presents a slight problem when the ones they’re bringing in to deal with the shitty politicians are the people who paid them to be shitty in the first place.
You mean like HR 1 For the People Act which passed the house twice but got filibustered and 30 years of campaign finance reform starting with a 1995 bill outlawing large donations (which was passed in 2002 but stricken down by the scotus 5:4 as the basis for Citizens United) that
*checks notes
Republicans refuse to pass?
This is a partisan issue, bothsidesing this is pure ignorance. Get 60 Dem senators and watch it get fixed.
So here’s the deal. Republicans are objectively worse. Full stop. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just wrong.
But that doesn’t absolve Democrats. Why did they never enshrine abortion rights into law in the decades since Roe v Wade? Why is it every time they have control suddenly they are helpless to actually deliver on their promises? Why do they refuse to do anything beyond lip service for unions? Why won’t they get rid of the filibuster? Why didn’t Biden even try to expand the supreme court as soon as it was clear it was corrupted?
Democrats are controlled opposition, that’s it. When the plebs start getting rowdy they jump in to control the movement and bring it back in line.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans are going to go against the wealthy who own them. And the sooner we all start working in that reality the better.
Right right, that’s all fine, but we need to elect minimum 60 Democrats. Full stop. We need to support electing 60 Democrats. We can all gather around and discuss how to sort out our Democrats after we remove the Republican Menace.
60 Democrats HAVE been elected before and nothing changed…
Did you even read my comment?
We had 60 for less than one month almost two decades ago. Since then we’ve elected less every year and blamed them more every year.
Curious that, if all they need is 60 Democrats, why they didn’t seize that opportunity to try and deliver everything they’ve promised. Working 24/7 to pass bill after bill. And instead just squandered it…
Oh yeah they should have asked the house nicely to vote to reform every system in the entire government in less than one month: you clearly do not want anything fixed, why are you being so disingenuous?
Nice personal attack. I guess I made you uncomfortable in your beliefs.
Dems could just… Choose to get rid of the filibuster.
There have been more Republicans than Democrats in senate since 2015 so removing the filibuster just gives Republicans everything they want with simple majority votes.
What? The Dems have the Senate right now no?
Left is correct.
This was a riskily bad meme.
