They had 12 years.
That dickhead got roasted for “concepts of a plan”, but just when you think the Democratic party can’t get any more pathetic they go and show how hopeless they are. AOC needs to break and start a party with Bernie.
It probably wouldn’t take much to get Omar and Tlaib on board either.
Step 1: put AOC and Bernie in charge
Step 2: Let em go ham
At least do…something.
Bernie is not a member of the Democratic Party right now.
Might be the best reason to put him in charge.
I’d love him to be in charge, but I doubt it will happen. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t retired yet considering his age. I’m glad he’s still fighting the good fight though.
Spoiler alert: it will be “send us more money!”. That’s what they always settle on.
“Personally, I don’t want to give Republicans an inch on their claims they care about national security after their pardons,” said Murphy, D-Conn. “My hope is that we’re going to be down on the floor and on TV and back in our states talking about the danger of these pardons.”
At least there’s someone awake at the wheel

You mean what got Trump elected the first time?
Filibust everything.
Democrats kept the filibuster around for this reason, right? They didn’t just keep it around to prevent progressive policy from passing, right?
They’ll figure out some way to reach across the aisle and meet in the middle.
By the time they’re done reaching it’s gonna look like they too are doing a Nazi salute.
We’ve decided to rename the Democrat party to Republican Lite in order to appeal to more voters.
Gee. Maybe they should have come up with one some time between 2015 and now.
I’m wondering where are the big names in the Democratic party and the left?
There is a palpable atmosphere of fear coming from a large population in America and there is silence from the “opposition” party. Why isn’t Obama and Michelle organizing and speaking at rallies? Why aren’t other prominent Democratic leaders not trying to rally support for a genuine resistance. Not the resistance of 2016, which I feel failed due to no true national leadership from the Democratic party.
Maybe this is happening and I just don’t see it, but it sure feels like the national Democratic leaders and influencers just threw up their hands and said “well, we’ve tried nothing and we are all out of ideas. You’re on your own to figure it out. But remember, if your leaderless pent up fear and anger turns to violence we won’t support you.”
I’ve been wondering that as well and I had a kind of scary thought; maybe there is no opposition party this time around because what’s happening is exactly what all parties involved want to be happening. I’m just so baffled by the state of politics in the US that I can’t help but to feel like we’re witnessing some kind of sea change in the fundamental structure of the government. Unfortunately it is not a progressive or thoughtful change in ideology.
Maybe this is happening and I just don’t see it
Then they’re not doing it right.
Translation: “We need time to figure out a way to look like we’re doing something without risking actually changing anything.”
If we’re not careful, we might accidentally do something that the voters like but that our owners don’t approve of.
Yeah if they were a real party for the people they wouldn’t need to search too long.
How about the guiding principle that Nazis are the enemy of America?
We have no fucking time. They told us, explicitly, what they were going to do.
Any halfway decent opposition party would have already had responses ready for each and every one of the executive orders that have been signed
Well the republicans are in some kind of hyperfascist accelerationist mode so I’m not sure exactly how much time we have to give them.
