Democrats are making a show of their willingness to cooperate with the incoming Trump administration. That’s not their job.

    But the liberals of Lemmy told me Dems aren’t controlled opposition paid to lose….

    Surely they have not lied, and hold consistent and logical ideological positions!

    “People want to see government work, and we’re going to hold Republicans accountable for whether they’re willing to help move things forward for the American people,” Washington Democratic Representative Suzan DelBene, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told ABC News. “I think we are telling them that we’re here to govern,” she went on to explain. “And I guess the question is, are they serious about governing?”

    Yeah, that’s the way you deal with fascists! Asking mild questions while helping them!

    When Republicans win:

    “Elections mean things! We won the election! You have to work with us or you’re not being bi-partisan!”

    When they lose:

    “Yeah, go fuck yourself!”

    democrats are too stupid to realize that cooperation stopped by the other side many years ago. they are under the delusion that their capitulation will gain them anything. the new normal shows, they are just being dragged to the right.

    democrats are the new conservatives. conservatives are now fascists. our only hope are the progressives who have been shoved in a corner and told to STFU.

      Sadly true… everything has been “meet in the middle” but when one side keeps sliding right the middle does too… there isn’t a left left

        As a European, it never fails to amaze me what Americans consider “left”. Y’all had your compass shifted to the far right so much you even call something left that would pass as conservative in Europe.

      Progressives/leftists aren’t winning as many elections as conservatives and moderate democrats. Because so many are opposed to bipartisanship.

    He had a massive stroke and now he’s a conservative. Big personality changes can happen after a stroke.

    Back to Happy Days 50’s with these two flip-floppers: braindead dipshit Fetterman, and ‘whatever Trump wants’ Stefanik.

    “AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!…”, added the underwhelming duo.

    Violence is the only thing that ever truly changes anything, and even that is a stretch in this state of things. We lost.
