Democrats and Biden are losing this election right now. Its because they've shown themselves, repeatedly, to be incapable of governing.

It doesn't matter why they suck at governing. That's not my problem as a voter. Its their problem.

More broadly, your sycophantic defense of a lost position just makes it further impossible to actually improve on the Democrats as a party.

You're a cheerleader, and your cheer leading of an obviously failed approach to politics and getting results just makes in more and more clear that the Democrats aren't a party worth supporting.

The Mr. Pink meme as a response to Teach's tirade puts it on display just perfectly if you know the reference.

Its not my fucking problem. I'm not voting to get jerked off by Democrats and their apologists in media and online, trying to convince me that up is down when they' continuously fail, or often as much, fail to even try to get the things they campaign on into policy. I'm not voting for sound-bytes and or to be convinced an L is a W. I'm voting for results and if the Democrats can't generate them because of how they manage their party, then they aren't worth voting for. This is the point about the fallacy Teach is making. Teach and yourself subscribe to the fallacy of inevitable in the story of history: "that there could have been none other way".

Don't you think its funny that in-spite of basically not having a governing majority in a half decade, Republicans have some how managed to effectively make the will of their voters into the law of the land? If the Democrats can't functionally resist Republican policy, then I have to do something else with the limited power I have, because the future is too important to be left in the hands of a party incapable of wielding power. Somehow, from a minority position, Republicans are able to govern. You should be curious as to why that is.

So far from the new Democratic alignment in the house we've gotten 26 billion for Israels genocide, a redefining of protest as antisemitism, and it looks like the Democrats ARE going to push for a draconian border bill that would give Tucker Carlson a nighttime emission if he dreamed it up himself.

If you are only against fascism when it comes from Republicans, are you really against fascism? If you are only against racist border policies when its a R in office, are you really against racist border policies?
