If we do the work to make sure that have 60 votes in the senate*, control of the house and presidency, I have no doubt they’d begin passing lefty legislation. For examples look what happened when Minnesota and Michigan gave their Democratic parties a trifecta in the government. At minimum we just need enough people in control (51) that are willing to offset or eliminate the non-speaking filibuster or enough people that we can have some room to have some space to negotiate with the more extreme right wing members of the Senate à la Joe Manchin.
We will still have to fight the courts that have been captured by the federalist Society, but any new appointments still get to be done by the non-fascist faction.
So we’ll finally get universal healthcare, a federal livable wage, free college for all, guaranteed housing, and other Leftist policies?
The reason we don’t have a public option was because of one vote and a razor thin margin. Put in some work with your local chapter of the Democratic Party, and I bet you’d be surprised.
The reason we’re completely fucked is because dems have been letting repubs pull them further right for decades instead of pulling back. We have no Left in this country.
the democrats are controlled opposition
The Washington Generals.
There it is.
A nearly uninterrupted string of Democratic victories for 6 years leads us to one inescapable conclusion: “We’ve got to turn right.”
Dems try to go Right
Dems learn that’s a nonstarter, Righties have dibs
I wonder where they’re gonna go
To the right. They will go as far to the right as we let them.
Lies, damn lies, and shit Democrats say.
This was an idiotic disaster the day the did it. Its an idiotic disaster now. It was an obvious disaster then.
The Democrats are bad at this.
