So...what SHOULD Democrats be doing right now?

[mc_brew]

Elementary kids just got their faces shot off to the point that the parents had to give DNA samples in order to identify the poor babies...are Dems really going to let this slip by without creating their version of Parents for Youngkin?

They did the same thing during covid -- they allowed maga lunatics to physically attack doctors/nurses without creating a campaign around it. Dumbass party.

the crazy thing is, if the shoe was on the other foot, reps would be running wild with these narratives that dems are too "polite" to go with....

Do you see how Desantis has blonde-haired blue-eyed children next to him every time he signs a bill? That's a play on suburban voters Republicans lost in '20 but are about to get back in droves in '22. Dems should be doing the same thing, play up the "Party for Children's Safety" angle and put the fear of God into every parent in America that Republicans are willing to sacrifice their children for an AR-15 (90% of Americans don't know wtf an AR-15 is).

but they dont believe in that shyt it isnt their politics

its like you guys dont reflect on the fact that its a fluke that arizona even HAS two dem senators. sinema is in the fukking 2008 republican presidential nominee's seat. or that manchin even exists in a 70 percent trump state

if manchin was the progressive you want him to be... he would not exist in west virginia

You are either missing my point or intentionally ignoring it.

It has nothing to do with progressive/moderate or left/right. They're being paid to intentionally block Biden's agenda.


Biden could have the most conservative agenda possible for a Democrat and they would still block it.

Biden could have the most conservative agenda possible for a Democrat and they would still block it.

Honestly, I think they would actually vote for that.

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

I don't remember Biden campaigning on sending $10k to each American for covid relief? When did that happen?

What I do remember is him campaigning on $2k for each American in Georgia, and didn't. Are you mad leftist held this senile fukk accountable?

Awful post. Yet again.

 

[acri1]

Honestly, I think they would actually vote for that.

Absolutely not.

Manchin is a coal baron who loves the attention and Sinema is paid off. They literally went in intending to block Biden's agenda regardless of what it was.


I'm not sure why anybody would even pretend they're acting in good faith or something.

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

They aren't going to vote for anything significant. They're literally being paid not to.

Corporate Dems being paid to be corporate losers. Sounds about right. When these corporatist dems can't pass their own weak agenda then we know what time they are on.

to mirror the Tea Party, progressives would need some wealthy donors to back them and astroturf as the Tea Party did.

Politics is done in this country, so we gonna have to have labor organizing.

And I have no hope for labor organizing given how low union density is in American and that’s the long game. There will be a Republican Congress and senate that dismantles the remainder of the NLRA before we even get to that. And if they don’t do it, the court will.

Bro shut the fukk up. The other Senator is Arizona supported all of Biden’s agenda and has a higher approval rating than she does. You’re just a white man who cannot imagine a world where your views and politics are not at the center of everything and that you are part of the problem. You’re perfectly comfortable with a world where minority opinion dominates over American to protect conservatives and whites because they share your interests. What kind of stupid point is having a Democratic Senator from Arizona being a fluke? You mean like having two democratic senators from Virginia, which was a red state until 2008? Sinema was literally a member of the Green Party you clown. She was more left than anyone here and got to Congress and became a conservative after she got paid off. And there’s nothing about Build Back Better that would threaten Manchin’s seat. Stop this bad faith bullshyt.

I got hope but it’s not immediate. Young people want to join unions and start unions and we seeing successes with Amazon and Starbucks.

If the GOP does that then that will be it, imo and We may see a strong worker push back because the pandemic is whats started this change in thinking.

The long game is better than instant satisfaction. The Democratic Party in its current form is over and has been for a long time.

 

[CrimsonTider]

There’s no analysis

This is how elections go in this country. There’s nothing that could’ve been done to increase tune our for dems in the midterms

-Pass gun reform of some fashion
-10K student loan forgiveness and pushout repayment into 2023.
-Pass some legislation on profiteering/gouging
-Talk nonstop about why those 3 things are needed because the GOP has failed the country on guns and the economy through exacerbating inflation with biggest personal wealth burden in student loan debt and not holding energy corporations responsible at the pump.

How are they going to get any of that thru the Senate? Much less without it getting overturned by SCOTUS.

So what should they be doing about gas/inflation?

I'm not seeing a lot of actual solutions or suggestions on what they should do differently in this thread so far.
