Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈
Mat Wright@Lazarou saw that earlier and laughed so hard woke the dog - not many outside of US politics would get it, but it's really spot on and hilarious
@MatWright not my country but Fetterman is such a wanker the joke travels! lol
@Lazarou Dems need a mechanism to sanction and remove reps like Fetterman, he has voted for the most odious Trump appointments, and against Dem party bills - he's a fucking embarrassment
@MatWright they really do, that Party is an utter shitshow at the moment, like worse than UK Labour!
@Lazarou LOL, hey I'm Canadian/British (the entire UK new passport rule is a real pissoff) but IMO UK Labour, like our Federal Libs are worse than the dems - the former are semi-organized shit shows, the latter can't organize themselves out of a wet paper ballot
Violet MadderThe Sinemas, Manchins, Schumers, and Fettermans are a CORE feature of how the Democratic Party runs. The DNC exists to make sure there are always juuuuuuuust enough of them to stop anything useful from happening and get the Republican shit passed.
@violetmadder @Lazarou they are trapped in the same shit donor and lobbying system, and no 3rd or 4th party to rankle from the outside - all the shit is internal and it paralyses them from any true action, or even common front that fight Trumpism to the level many Americans are screaming for
Sure, the recent primaries and actual wins are great, but the midterms either won't happen, or will be so seriously gamed (or both) to be a coup - Dems are sleep walking into a trap
The spoiler effect is a weapon that makes a mockery of democracy. It's like a bad joke.
When the orange jerk goes down they're going to toss somebody like Gavin Newsom at us and say, "Phew that was scary, wasn't it? Isn't it a relief to get back to NORMAL!! Now don't expect anything in particular out of us anytime soon, or basically ever, because all this damage the orange guy did is sooooooo bad and fixing it is soooooo difficult but we are trying sooooooooo hard we promise. Don't you dare complain or something worse than orange guy will come along next-- oh and meanwhile don't forget to properly fit your ballsack into the scanner when you log in to your computer, and anyone who gripes too loudly is a terrorist."
