Why do the Democrats let Republicans write their job description? They should negotiate, not capitulate. I know that's a difficult distinction these days given how much of the latter has been going on, but wake up and realize the difference.

They don't. You are letting Republicans write it and dismissing reality. You are their tool. A useful idiot. The poorly educated.

You are beyond pathetic if you think I support Republicans.

I'm pointing out that Democrats CONSTANTLY allow the Overton window to move to the right. They do these "compromises" that only offer legitimacy to the OUTRIGHT LIES of Republicans.

Democrats are the useful idiots, and you morons are here seal-clapping as the Dems give creedence to the Republican version of "border crisis".

There is no border crisis. Not a NEW one, anyways... and now you have Democrats screaming, "give me the power, I'll shut down the border today!"

You all are pathetic for failing to see who the actual useful idios are.

Please explain your grand strategy for passing meaningful legislation while the GOP controls a house of Congress. How exactly do Democrats pass aid to Ukraine?

You know how you move the Overton window back? Remove conservatives from Congress. You do that by winning elections. And you don't do that by SOLEY denigrating the only party we can actually capture and use to our advantage. You aren't helping the cause you supposedly support. You're just doing damage, not offering a single workable alternative solution, and throwing a temper tantrum. Saying "Democrats bad" over and over, while again not offering any real criticism of the GOP or a better solution, is precisely what a Republican would do.

Moderates control the party because they made specific strategic decisions to capture, grow, and maintain that power over many elections. We have to do the EXACT. SAME. THING. If you aren't willing to support that, just admit you'd rather have moderates or conservatives in charge.

Ahh yes, the classic, "please present a perfect solution if you want to complain about something."

Pathetic is the correct word for you. Stop making excuses for people that aren't even trying. You talk as if Republicans have all the power... and they do. Because Democrats fundamentally do not know how to use it.

Keep cheering on losers, though. It seems to be what this country loves on both sides of the aisle...

You can't even provide a single solution or explain why mine is flawed. You're acting as though every single elected Democrat is some moderate incapable of correctly welding power. That's nonsense. I'm talking about getting rid of those that aren't working on our behalf and you want to cry like a child to make yourself feel good and get attention.

I'm pointing out that the Dems DO NOT work on our behalf and you constantly cry like a bitch about, "nuhuh they're actually not ALL bad!"

Pathetic. I do not need to bring up a new point because you are defending lunacy. You are a moron defending the party clown that shows up drunk just because there's a party clown that shows up with a gun...

Did you just learn the word capitulate or something?

You’re suffocating all the discussion in this thread by making that “point” to anyone who replies.

Notice how no one is disagreeing with an actual point that means anything against what I said. Including yours. Good job failing to listen or think.

Nobody is disagreeing because nobody wants to interact with the guy who immediately replies to every comment in the thread, especially when it’s a 12 year old that just learned a new word.

Good job yet again bringing zero point or opinion in to the conversation. Pathetic. You get upset and completely lose the topic... At least I'm upset because powerful people are failing at their jobs, not because some rando hurt my feefees.

You’re upset because everyone in this thread is treating you like the feckless child that you are. You’re angry with me personally because I’m the only person willing to tell you why you’re getting downvoted.

But please go off sister.

You are quite seriously the only one calling me a child because you are the only one so pathetic that you only bring literally childish insults.

Please, tell me. How does giving in to an abuser HELP anyone?

You people are so fucking pathetic. Plenty of logic until it's politics, and then WOOP!! Oh no, we cannot help people, we don't have the income! Oh also here are some more tax breaks...

You buffoons who trust politicians are the fucking worst. You are a useful idiot, and your name calling over me pointing out that Republicans aren't the only shyster politicians proves it.

Because nobody else is even replying to you kiddo lol

Glad you turned me into a strawman though. Keep shadowboxing against the things you think I am. It’s a great look.

“You people” huh? 👀

The irony... Your repeated attempts infantilization only proves how inadequate your mind is.

The irony… your repeated attempts to “win” a non-competition proves how fucking idiotic you are.

Do you have any points to make, or are you going to continue being a pathetic hypocrite?

Oh don’t worry buddy, you already made my point for me
