Man, federation really is reminding me of Reddit, every bozo with 10 fingers and roughly enough braincells to work them keeps popping in on every political post now that we're approaching election season

'How dare you make a post critical of my team, you're supposed to hate conservatives moarrrr, NOOOOOOoooOOO you're going to help THEM WIN'

Or we get the smuglord 'oh, Biden ACSHUALLY did all these things (provides list of bills which materially helped nobody here and in some instances actively made people's lives worse)'

Biden made a campaign promise and failed to follow through on it. He lied.

Like he did about helping codify Roe, like he did about stemming COVID, like he did about making immigration humane (all he did was pass an EO making sure 'alien' got changed to 'migrant') (and hell his AG fought to have the ability to detain 'migrants' indefinitely), like he did about gun violence, like he did about healthcare reform, like he did about infrastructure, like he did about climate change, like he did about everything

'Oh he's not a king' bitch he can unilaterally pass EOs, and then it's up to courts to determine if they're permitted or not (and he can ignore them and order federal officials to uphold them anyway, ask Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Ponca and Ho-Chunk/Winnebago peoples)

'Oh but then conservatives could abuse that power' they don't already? And you're going to use that as an excuse to never do anything better?

You're sitting in a lake of piss moaning about how nothing can get better instead of...trying to get out of the piss lake

Libs don't understand how coalitions work. In a real coalition you have to give something real to your junior partner; which the assumed position of the left in America, even if based on polling a majority of voters support socdem policies.Their promise to the left is that they won't let things get worse! This both isn't a actual concession as well as a lie! So fuck them, libs want a deal? Then push your monstrous leadership to give us something or fuck off, its not my job to be you people's moral conscience.

"If Republicans are going to do what you're saying, then Biden should Order 66 the entire Republican Party."

yes-sicko

But him and Bernie are giving each other handies watching from the corner (nothing wrong with cuckoldry, unless y'know it's actual politics...)

If The Party were to even speak of supporting communism, dems would immediately revolt

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 37 points 11 months ago (5 children)

No, because Dems aren't meaningfully organized in the first place. It's not really a Party, it's an extremely loose alliance of convenience.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 32 points 11 months ago

Organized in the sense it's there to destroy any attempts at actual progress by only allowing centrist policies or bare minimum

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

The Democratic Party is the tech, finance, real estate, and military industry in a trench coat.

If you mean establishment Dems, they would take quick, ruthless action against anything that would threaten the police state or US imperialism abroad

I'll institute a fair income based repayment program so you aren't crushed by negative amortization and if you're making only twice the federal minimum wage you pay nothing

Addressing student loans was unironically a huge W from Joey Brandon
