    The fact that people actually believe that this is all the democrats are currently doing clearly illustrates exactly why we had so many protest voters.

    It seems as if the far left won’t ever be convinced of anything unless it-

    A) Agrees with what they already believe
    B) Is in an easy-to-read meme format
    C) Comes from their communal clipboard of copypasta marxist rhetiric.

    I’m incredibly angry that trump won, but not at all surprised. These people make up not just a portion of our voting body, but also a huge portion of our NON-voting body.

      The Democratic Party is in a timeloop for thirty years if they believe that courting centrists and right wing voters still work in the age of growing wealth inequality. Actually, forget that, the Democrats still want to court centrists and the right in order to send signal to the true rulers that are oligarchs, that they are just as right wing as the Republicans in order to keep receiving corporate donations and make money from stocks.

      What are they doing? Wait I’ll do you one better. What else can they do, but re-evaluate what they’ve been doing?

        Google “Democrats” then select the “News” tab. That’ll get you going in the right direction.

              Well I won’t say they’re not doing anything. It’s their job, obviously they’re playing defense to Republican insanity. And re-evaluating what they’ve been doing thus far is not a bad thing to be doing by any means if they have any hope of winning next time around. But do you genuinely think they’re doing enough to protect their constituency? The underprivileged masses that entrusted their valuable vote to them?

              DEIA initiatives are being suspended, the military is posted up on the border, undocumented abuelitas are getting ICE’d and America has affirmed its role as a rogue element to its European allies by implying its willingness to annex Greenland. That’s just the first week of what the opposition has cooked up. Are you seeing resistance in equal amount?

                Hey, if you have a fix, let them know! Because until you know how things work so well as to be able to legally undermine trump’s grifting and unconstitutional bullshit- maybe keep the accusations to a minimum.

                  If I hire a lawyer to represent me in court and they ask me “Alright chief, got any idea how we’re gonna get you out of this mess?”, I probably hired a shitty layer, right? I’m not accusing anyone of anything, I’m merely stating that I’m not seeing much being done by them in response to trump doing the trump things he said he’d do a year or so ago.
