    it’s almost like constant baseless shittalking about them cause people not to vote for them, which leads to them not having a majority position that would allow them to affect policy.

      Or that they can’t fucking rally people around them because they have completely lost touch with the base they are supposed to represent? Democrats can’t figure anything out and continue to get info from bullshit firms that tell them to ratchet right and they blindly follow when they should be courting the left, and it’s always funny how Republicans can absolutely stall and shut down the government even when they are the minority but democrats continue to play nice when Republicans are in charge, they had the chance to shut the government down but decided to let Republicans win because some fucked idea of it would set a precedence. People are tired of democrats being ineffectual piss babies and want real representation. If they can’t show up to put real work in then I can shit talk them all I want, I don’t owe them a fucking thing.they owe me everything. And they are still the best choice because Republicans are just fucking evil

        Did you miss the two impeachments? Investigations (admittedly slow-walked by Merrick Garland and hamstrung by DoJ policy) into major national security offenses? Dissolution of the Trump foundation?

        What does “spine” look like, in your model? Because “murder” and “civil war”, which I’ve seen people here suggesting, are profoundly self-defeating options.

          Better not do anything in that case, hm, since of course there’s no possible kind of direct action short of murder and civil war.

            don’t be coy, go ahead and list five of these direct actions you think Democratic lawmakers or others should take.
