Dear Democrats: It Would Be Nice If You Could Lead, And Not Off A Cliff
We really should have two major parties committed to upholding the Constitution. But at the moment we seem to have none. Because not only have the Republicans been captured by the corrupt fascism o…
You're viewing a single thread.
The Democrats feel like they are more concerned about how the utencils are arranged beside the plate than making sure people have food on it.
look up your local water treatment infrastructure. look up all the suppliers, and their suppliers, so you know who to talk to when you're the last thing between your city and mass dysentery. maybe get some reserve chemicals and commonly broken parts, if you can afford it.
and figure out how to keep your local nazis from destroying all the infrastructure. they love doing that shit.
The Republics run the kitchen because a bunch of absent voters refused to help the Dems help us all.
The Dems weren't all that helpful when they had power...
Dems have always been incredibly helpful.
From 2002 to 2010 they removed money from politics, until Citizens United SCOTUS decision took that away from us. Changing it would require a 60 senate supermajority for constitutional amendment, or 60 majority to reform the SCOTUS.
Dems gave us the ACA with protections for preexisting conditions and expanded Medicaid and Chip to cover 79 Million Americans currently. If we gave them the 60 supermajority without caucusing independent Joe Lieberman, or maybe even with caucus for more than only 72 days, they would have given us Public Option which would be so cheap that private insurance firms couldn't even compete at all, effectively singlepayer.
Dems gave us green infrastructure and forest protections, investing in solar and EVs.
If we had elected Dems in 2016 or 2024 they'd be writing the tax laws, too.
The Dem president Joe Biden increased the sick leave coverage for class 1 freight workers from 5% to over 90% if not 100% over the course of his term.
If you ever expect any of that shit from Republicans, you're an idiot.

They did? Where were all those corporate campaign dollars to them going, then?
Changing it would require a 60 senate supermajority for constitutional amendment, or 60 majority to reform the SCOTUS.
Or, a 51 majority, after getting rid of the filibuster rule... Which they refused to do, every, single, time.
Dems gave us the ACA with protections for preexisting conditions and expanded Medicaid and Chip to cover 79 Million Americans currently.
Dems gave us the Heritage Foundation health care plan, where we all HAVE to buy a private health insurance policy, and we get subsidized with tax dollars to buy a private health insurance policy.
Basically, the ACA created the conditions for Luigi!
If we gave them the 60 supermajority without caucusing independent Joe Lieberman, or maybe even with caucus for more than only 72 days, they would have given us Public Option which would be so cheap that private insurance firms couldn’t even compete at all, effectively singlepayer.
Why didn't they just get rid of the filibuster, and pass the public option then?
Dems gave us green infrastructure and forest protections, investing in solar and EVs.
I assume you mean the IRA, and that "green infra we built" is being given away to Elon for free. Forest protections? Ok, I'll give that. Investing in solar and EVs? Again, handouts to corporations.
If we had elected Dems in 2016 or 2024 they’d be writing the tax laws, too.
Weird. Why didn't the Dems do it in 1999, 2008, 2012, etc etc... You know? All those times they had a majority, and refused to use it, and instead just slid farther right to "meet in the middle" that always just moved to the right...
The Dem president Joe Biden increased the sick leave coverage for class 1 freight workers from 5% to over 90% if not 100% over the course of his term.
Don't even know what you're referring to, but I hope not the rail workers... Because only 20% of workers have sick leave coverage, and it's not even "sick leave" as they still have to call in the day before. There was a reason the majority of rail workers voted to oppose that deal, and went on strike.
And the strike, which, Biden broke. By forcing an already rejected contract. Only one set of union leaders supported the move, out of 6 unions.
There's a reason Biden, and Harris lost union support this election. Because of how anti-union they are.
If you ever expect any of that shit from Republicans, you’re an idiot.
I very much expect the GOP to hand billions to oligarchs, break labor strikes, and force people into buying a private market product... And they seem to do all of that without a 61 person majority in the senate, somehow.
