We just witnessed 4 years of Joe Biden claiming he’s “hopeful”Republicans will do the right thing per tradition, while himself clinging on to power too long—ultimately enabling Trump’s win.
And instead of learning a single damn thing, Chuck Schumer says he “hopes” Trump will do the right thing per tradition, while himself clinging on to power too long.
And once again, Trump will get what he wants, and we will all suffer. We absolutely need New Democratic Party leadership.
Schumer - and Jeffries - need to be replaced.
Simply hoping this misadministration is so bad that the Dems will win in 2026 isn't strategy. It's naive and foolish in light of the other side doing every single thing they can to cheat.
Relying on an election that you will be cheated out of is just plain stupid.
@bitbear @QasimRashid That's why I asked if that was an answer to my questions.
It's fantasy to think that outliers, who work within the irreparably broken power structure, could ever become leadership. Particularly when one of them has been completely unsuccessful in moving the needle for over 30 years.
In my opinion, the Democratic party is not interested in nor able to be changed or fixed. This structure cannot be changed from within, it's too entrenched. It's keeping the bulk of its donors/owners exactly where they want to be, rich and in power.
I asked the question to someone who has a Juris Doctor degree and who has attempted to become part of the system to gain insight that I might not have.
@QasimRashid diseased brain gerontocrats will kill us all with their Vichyness.
Democrats? Feh. Good cop, bad cop, both cops.
Party politics is what got us into this mess in the first place. Any system that not only allows, but enables, fascists to gain power is a sick and evil system. Our problem is not Democrats or even Republicans. It's the system itself. It isn't working for us. It's only working for the rich. We don't need "better" government. We need self-government. Only direct democracy even *is* democracy. Anything less is a fraud and a sham. Our so-called "representatives" don't represent us. They represent their donors. We are perfectly capable of representing ourselves, but we are not allowed to do it.

@LilPecan @QasimRashid Sadly, this kind of rage bait account gets more boosts than people with productive solutions.
Merrick Garland had multiple prosecutions of 45 moving forward for years. SCOTUS killed them, but people are mad at Biden and Garland? They should be mad at themselves for staying home in 2016 and 2024.
Learning the wrong lessons, attacking allies and shooting themselves in the feet - anti-Democrat “leftists” in a nutshell.
I can tell you that Trump won’t … dictators don’t resign.
@QasimRashid the #GOP has fallen off the continuum on the Right into full #Fascism - they won't relinquish power just bc they lose an election
#CorporateMedia is all about access& ad revenue - they'll keep toeing the line
Today's #Democrats occupy the position the GOP used to hold re platform/policies, so #Workers are just sorta fucked here rn
All down to #CitizensUnited
@vextaur @QasimRashid If there’s no realistic other choice it’s because we collectively refuse to acknowledge or create any. You’re engaging in a kind of learned helplessness that is endemic to how Americans think. That mindset is part of how we wound up at this moment and why I have zero faith in Americans to right any historic or current wrongs.
Have fun living in fascism!
