Qasim Rashid, Esq.Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.
KanaMauna@QasimRashid Excuse me but the vast majority of Democrats did NOT go along with this. We need to stay focused and stop wishing another party will drop in from the heaven to save the day. What we need is the fucking voters to pay attention and get rid of the bad apples, starting with Schumer.

Voting won't help. Elected officials will always side with the government, power and money, even when it goes against everything they believe in (see Sarah McBride).
Either out of fear, out of greed, or out of a will to maintain power. The only way to fight fascism is to actually fight. Politicians won't do it for you.
@QasimRashid
Um, no. Under our current system, the elected officials are the government. If you don’t like them, work hard to get out the vote to get new reps. Acting as if voting doesn’t work guarantees nothing will change. Fighting by itself is useless since it won’t elect a new government (unless your goal is to kill everyone, which I don’t recommend).
@KanaMauna
Under your *old* system (aka democracy) that was (partially) true. That's not the system you're living in anymore. Welcome to fascism.

@Mux @QasimRashid Sorry you feel that way. Good luck with your revolution.
@KanaMauna
Oh, it's not my revolution. I don't even live in the US. Just telling you what everybody who have survived fascism already knows.
