just_another_personTrump's risque birthday doodle to Jeffrey Epstein released by House Democrats
Everyone: Would you provide affordable healthcare, increase minimum wage, cancel student loans, defeat fascism and tax the rich?
Democrats: Best I can do is release Trump’s birthday doodle given to Epstein, and Newsom’s tweets trolling Trump.
Sorry to cut down the news, but Democrats really have to do more than just trolling Trump and Republicans. So far, I haven’t seen much serious efforts to roll back the fascism of Trump and Republicans.
DarkFutureYou realize the American people essentially stripped Democrats of all power within our federal government after 4 years of meaningful legislation and solid recovery, right?
All they can really do is state level stuff, which they are. Newsom in California. Pritzker in Illinois.
If you want someone to blame, blame your fellow dumbass Americans.
Now I see why the bleeding heart liberal is a pejorative.
Was not having enough numbers for the Republicans not stop them from filobustering every popular policies that had been proposed? Did Chuck Schumer and Dems do the same when he allowed the big beautiful bill that gutted Medicare and welfare? So much for vOtE bLuE nO mAtTeR wHo nonsense.
You Americans today are embarrassing your progressive ancestors that stopped the Gilded age and put the Roosevelts in the White House. Because back then, opposition parties were actually oppositions, and people held their politicians held accountable dearly. You mentioned you don’t know if Democrats will address what made fascism happen. They are suppose to be the good guys, right? You support them and they are the opposition. You should know what they are supposed to do.
Bleeding heart is pure propaganda designed to frame someone who cares as stupid and unintelligent. This is of course the opposite of the truth. It is more doublethink brought to you by your masters and everytime you repeat it you give them more power.
The real progressives were run out of politics in the US during the McCarthyism crisis. They have never returned and we remained a fascist nation once again purging anyone who disagrees.
There are no good guys, just totalitarians versus neoliberals both fighting to control our imperial fascist oligarchy. When either of them win we all lose. The Democratic party has slightly more diversity of thought, but that ain’t saying much.
“Bleeding heart” for me is someone-- sorry for the lack of a better word-- who has certain naïveté. All going on about decorum but doesn’t have what it takes to take the gloves off when needed.
Americans have been conditioned to think within a carefully curated thought and frame by the capitalistic media to make normal folks timid.
People could go on about two party system, but look at other countries, they also have two party system but they successfully elect third parties and unafraid to hold their politicians not doing their jobs accountable. What happened to Americans who got rid of monopolies in Gilded age and getting third parties electing into congress and senate? That’s my point. Now, Americans are inactive. It only took cutting Medicare and crashing the stock market for people to do something. Before? Nada. And that’s the thing, people only mobilise if their personal interests are affected. The solidarity of the past has been gone.
It definitely is old propaganda anyways and not a term brought up very often anymore. I can see the nuance in your view in regards to naivete.
When I was younger it was often brought up when someone would talk about starving kids in Africa. Pundits would say, “another bleeding heart liberal” as a way to be dismissive and mocking of their feelings.
It was almost always women they would do it to as well. So ultimately it was a derogatory sexist way to dismiss the concerns of women on social issues.
