Just here to see how your collaboration with the fascists are going. You won’t lead. You won’t follow. You seem keenly interested in not getting out of the way. Who benefits?
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social)
@outfrontcnn.bsky.social way to be a piece of shit trying to normalize fascism. There’s never a “good” reason to use the military for law enforcement.
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social) reply parent
How bout fucking actions? All Dems seem to muster now a days are useless words. With those and a couple of cents you can maybe get a cup of coffee. When the fuck are yall going to DO SOMETHING?

TLDR: Yes they are
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social) reply parent
They aren’t even an opposition party though. That requires actual opposition. As much as I despise everything republicans are. They know how to operate in the minority. Grind everything to a halt and force the other guy to the table as often as you can. Instead we get @schumer.senate.gov 😓
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s the problem. The democrats are desperately trying to hold onto normalcy at all costs. If they can just get back into power without doing anything drastic that corporate money just flows their way. I’m tired of the party and done with it. Inaction at all costs.

This is a super shitty take. A better question is why are ALL Americans okay with a society that actively disadvantages and abuses them at every possible turn? That will be the question for Americas post Mortem. How could the richest country in existence treat its citizens so poorly continually?
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social) reply parent
To be fair he hasn’t interfered with Congress. Congress has abdicated its duty (Republicans on tariffs and we’ll everything and Dems on cloture for the cr). It takes 3 co-equal branches of government to work and the party in power only believes in power not our actual constitutional republic.

He’s not, and that’s the point. No Republican is serious. They abdicated their congressional power to the prez, pushed through a nonsense bill, lied the entire way through. @georgetakei.bsky.social you need to stop acting surprised at their depravity. Nothing will ever be bad enough to change them.

Aca isn’t remotely close to universal healthcare Affordable college - Biden reduced the most debt any president has done but that was it Roe v Wade - you’re kidding right?

We have never tried anything I’ve mentioned short of a watered down Republican plan (ACA). We also aren’t bringing cheap labor back so the focus should be on evolving businesses to work with the government in a way that isn’t a race to the bottom. Like it or not we’ll need universal income soon.
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually leftist policies. Universal healthcare, immigration policy, affordable college, trade school programs. Policies that actually benefit people. Domestic spending tied to military spending (more domestic spending). A woman’s right to choose. Universal income.

No they don’t need to appease the middle. That’s been the talking point for as long as I’ve voted Democrat. Bring in “the middle” ie republicans then we’ll do some left stuff. It never happens and it won’t start now. How about actually winning on healthcare, education and quality of life?

A great place to start @kaine.senate.gov is by electing a new minority leader and getting rid of toothless @schumer.senate.gov . Republicans don’t tame democrats seriously and leadership is part of the problem. No solutions, no action, no coherent message. Nothing. Start there please.
PapaBear (@thepapabear.bsky.social) reply parent
@schumer.senate.gov will send a strongly worded letter then do nothing. Back before the CR he told you he didn’t view this administration as anything but bau. It wasn’t until his poll numbers came out that he started his “we fight for you” routine. TLDR: he’ll do nothing like he always does.
