cheeto on cheeto violence

I think instead of “democrats” it should say “Americans”. The resistance seems pitiful.
- no, democrats 100% is correct. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz3Rf820ozE
  
  I watched the video and I stick with “Americans”. You can’t watch that video and solely blame the democrats for that. C’Mon now.

- For the good of his pocket book

I'm in NY and I will NOT be voting for Schumer in the primaries. Hopefully, I'm not the only one with this mindset. The only Democrat that I see reflecting my outrage is Jasmine Crockett. All the established politicians, like Hakeem Jeffries, act as if they're clenching down to hold in a barbiturate enema.
- You'll still help whoever wins the primary defeat the Republican party, though, right?
  
  Well, I'm not voting RepubliKKKan but I don't think the current crop of Democrats can beat them. We need new players.
  
  When did they say anything about that? You people are so annoying and obnoxious.

I have never in my life seen a Cheeto used so well (to make a point)
- you can eat them too

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to show the democrats giving cops and border patrol boatloads of money? They were elected on a mandate of reform the police but instead they just gave them shit loads of money and built them fake towns so that the cops could get their rocks off imagining hurting citizens.

- why what did i do :(
  
  I'm the Dem with a cheeto lock for a reason

amerika yaaaaa

It’s hilarious to see people scapegoat the democrats so much.
What have you done to prevent this?
Progressives constantly bitch and moan but haven’t organized anything themselves so this is literally the kettle calling the pot black.
- Imagine complaining about the plumber who tried to fix your leaky pipe with a paper napkin, and have someone saying you are scapegoating them. It's their fucking job to prevent this.
  
  It's their fucking job to prevent this.
  They were doing a good job before the voters cut off both of their arms by giving MAGA majorities in the house and senate and the presidency.
- As an outside observer, I think a certain Mr. Sanders could have provided a decent alternative candidate but the democrats decided against him (in a not very democratic way IIRC). Instead, they opted for the flawed political triangulation tactic and took a right politics drift, to their own peril.
  
  No offence but Bernie wasn’t able to win a primary so why would he have a chance in the general?
- This guy with his history of comments on Lemmy of all people defending Democrats really tells you everything you need to know about the current batch of Democrats doesn't it?
- Progressive candidates either tote the Democratic Party line or the party drops all support for them instead pushing all that money to a centrist candidate.
  Then the democratic leaning media runs articles against those progressives saying stuff like "will progressives sink democratic electoral chances".
  
  So?
  Start a progressive party or take over the DNC like the MAGAs took over the RNC.
  If they could do it why can’t the progressives?
