You mean the people that play softball together aren't really looking after the small guys?
Harris-Walz / Dems
- Thread starter Teufel

If you bothered to read the article you're sharing you would know that they traded 4 judges that they didn't have the votes on anyway for 9 judges that they do have the votes to pass but Republicans were using procedural mayhem to slow down. AKA this is a good thing.
What do you want Democrats to do Paladin, they just lost the election and the popular vote. Trump has the mandate right now. It's time to let him hug things up and turn popular opinion back against him. Then in 2026 we can take the House back and at least make a dent in their Senate majority.

Quite frankly: it seems like no matter what democrats do, it screws them over. I mean: voters didn't turn out to protest how biden and harris were handling the war in gaza... and in the process literally gave the choice to a guy who would literally nuke gaza. That's a very special kind of stupid right ******* there.
Dems Choose 74-Year-Old Gerry Connolly Over AOC for Key Committee Role
House Democrats voted to recommend Rep. Gerry Connolly for the party’s top spot on the House Oversight Committee over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

to date the Democrat Party has fought harder to stop Alexandria Ocasio Cortez than fascism.
Gee, more old people in charge. Sounds like a winning strategy for 2028!
The ‘good’ thing about the US Democratic party from a British perspective is that in theory it’s a broad front party, with liberals and social democrats and centrists and general progressives under one roof, rather than having half-dozen or more non-conservative parties splitting votes.
Of course, in practice the most right-wing element of that broad party is always in charge, with anything weakly progressive seemingly neutralised. (Yes, I also accept that the US Democrats are still more progressive on issues like immigration and LGBTQ rights than the UK Labour Party currently is.)

Biden reportedly regrets ending re-election campaign and says he’d have defeated Trump

Useless fossilized ************ to the very end.
I always got the impression that being appointed AG was a consolation prize for not getting to be a Supreme Court justice, and that the whole point of tapping him for that job was that he was the "safe" pick that would make the Republicans look like dicks for blocking.
All of that is true, but none of it excuses the fact that he ***** footed around and accomplished absolutely nothing.
We needed an individual who would aggressively pursue the corruption of the prior administration and what we got was milquetoast that waffled about instead of pushing forward.
And now it's far too late.
Speaking of single-term Democrat presidents, after seeing the news about Jimmy Carter’s death I looked up his (in)famous 1979 address to the nation. It’s like from another world – a president (or any government leader) trying to speak to the public frankly, like they rational adults, and the tract about American society becoming overtaken selfish consumerism, not even left-leaning politicians anywhere talk like that any more. Astonishing.
Reagan's victory cemented the current political landscape. It's not about what you say, it's not about what you do, it's about how you say it and how you make people feel.
Carter was the last president who had even a basic grasp of the reality of the office. Everyone else has been winning a popularity contest with empty promises.
good ******* GOD this party is worthless.

Schumer challenged Trump to address the cost of living for Americans, saying that if he did so, Democrats would back renaming the Gulf of Mexico...

I mean, there's tactical genius in getting trump to actually do work... for nothing in return. They will never rename the gulf of mexico.
