Our parties suck.One might suck worse than the other...but they seem to deserve each other. I mean,how did this guy get the job as the nation's #1 opposition leader? In a time of grave constitutional danger? If you told me he was voted in by the other side I wouldn't dismiss you out of hand. Geeze.
as I understand it he got the job simply by being around for forever
The Dem party is on life support and the only thing keeping it ticking is the endless chant of "Blue No Matter Who." I'm not sure how much longer people will stomach that. The GOP in power is exponentially worse, but the Venn Diagram overlaps far more than people really want to admit.
“Vote blue no matter who” seems like it matters very much who.
You cant tell the difference? Astounding.
It's amazing after watching a party achieve massive victory by relentlessly fighting on literally every issue, they think the move is to declare everything a distraction and cede ground immediately. You wonder what they actually stand for. Which is how we got here.
Seniority often rewards time, not talent.
As a queer person and a long time fan I’m pleasantly surprised to see you weigh in on this Dan. I think it’s infuriating too, and it’s all too clear Democratic leadership cares more about their own personal careers than following the basic principles of fighting fascism (first they came for.…)
It's that sweet AIPAC money.
When mega donors hedge their bets with candidates from both sides then yeah, you get what you've mentioned.
I would argue that one party sucks and the other party is a death cult. Saying both suck is kind of like saying diarrhea and pancreatic cancer both suck. It’s technically true, but it leaves a lot unsaid.
That's also true, but it's more like if the diarrhea greatly increased your odds of future pancreatic cancer (which is still less bad than already having it, but it's not a road to a healthy life)
I'm not gonna disagree with that.
If I were to find out that Schumer's staff was hired by the NRSC I would not be surprised in the least.
Chuck Schumer and guys like him (there are plenty others) are in the weird spot that they seem to not understand what kind of war they are fighting.
Agreed. It's like they don't know how to turn up the amplitude button from the level appropriate in a political clomate that is now a thing of the past. It's as though their volume only goes up to a 3, when we need an 11.
its not just that they think a strongly worder letter is an appropriate response. They dont seem to understand that nothing this administration does makes sense if you assume Democrats gonna capture the executive again. And that they are using political violence to achieve that goal.
They’re unable to take in what is going on right in front of their eyes. If this guy’s life was in danger on a boat during storm and had to choose between an oar or a life jacket to survive, he would choose to brush his teeth and take a selfie
Someone tell them we don't sit at the kitchen table discussing our relative qualifications for government benefits lol
Until Schumer is replaced, I find it hard to believe the Democratic Party is actually going to fight. It's like my grandpa trying to rap battle Eminem.
