If they moved farther left then they would stop the Republicans so much easier. People like getting stuff for paying taxes, if they did even the most tepid soc-dem shit instead of whatever bullshit they're on, they'd rule unopposed for a century. How many times does someone like Nancy Pelosi have to say that they need a "strong Republican party" before you believe that will not help except by accident?

Well they love to jack off about hard men making hard decisions while hard, kind of ruins the whole fantasy if they set the whole thing up instead of having to react with steely stoicism to events outside their control

Wait, they're doing debt ceiling shit again? Feels like they literally just did that

Idk, this feels like a blue slip thing, where dems follow norms from like 40 years ago and republicans just do whatever they like with no opposition

We're all just arguing with the spirit of this megamind:

You forgot about the key factors of claiming credit for any social progress accomplished by socialists and acting really smug about it

I've literally never heard it called that before this thread. I found one article calling it that a year later, then a bunch of "5 years later on retrospective" type articles and no source for who coined the phrase

Yeah, apparently gas smelled really good before they took the lead out and added ethanol. To the point where it's like a formative childhood smell to anyone gen x or older
