No it's designed to genuinely ask if you actually want to stop fascism or actually understand the stakes of Republicans winning presidencies.
That so many on the left fail that simple test is not the problem of Democrats.

"will you vote for newsom in the general" is designed to undermine the left opposition to him *in the primary.* it's meant to show that the left can be ignored because they'll come around or that they can be ignored because they're a lost cause. the mission *now* is to make newsom lose the primary.
democratic primary voters keep fucking up and we're trying to get ahead of it this time by letting them know that newsom isn't electable

This is what’s frustrating. We can’t actually have an honest conversation about any of these members or leaders or strategy because the entire well has been poisoned by people who think 47 is larger than 53.
Again, this is not a stealth defense of Senator x or representative Y. This is instead a plea to people to actually think about the realities of power in even a closely divided Congress and to recognize the most likely outcome is a series of righteous Ls

the democrats could actually literally BE evil or spineless or what the fuck ever and it would still be open and shut, trivially obviously morally correct to just vote for them all the time; the fact that ppl have to lie to make the Dems sound BAD just proves the pudding imo
the two parties are not the same.
your choice is between a party of pedophiles who shoots people in the streets or the party who doesn't do that. that is the reality in which we live. im sure it feels better to live in fantasyland, but look around. acting like this is true makes you the problem.

"Is 53 greater or less than 47" quickly becoming the defining political question of our time
Love to see people in the year 2026 spend all day talking about what the Dems can’t do and shouldn’t try
I mean, sure, Congress should, they never should have given the money in the first place and there's about a million things Congress should be doing to assert Art I powers
But this whole piece is written like Dems have a veto supermajority in both chambers

Anyways, dear reader, this congress has been wildly unproductive, and that includes things like appointments. The democrats have literally been as obstructive as possible in the senate and forced Thune to change the votes multiple times -after- wasting tons of time.

If all the leftists voted for Democrats, and Democrats still lost, that would logically mean that a coalition of Democrats and leftists is a losing coalition, and Democrats would be better served looking elsewhere.
I don't think people like Robert Evans #2 have really thought through this logic.

"Democrats should listen to us if they want to win elections! But also: we're electorally useless" is just such a bizarre, schizophrenic message.

I don’t know why so many people think it’s commendable or noble right now to be “don’t worry, I never said anything good about the party that’s not in power while the other one is doing terrible things” … people like this would rather see the world burn than have their follower count go down.

The people saying things like this to prove Dems could have pressed the “fix everything” button if they really wanted to has been driving me insane.

It's always "Democrats failed to win over a huge number of voters" and never "a huge number of voters made a really stupid fucking decision even when all of the evidence that it was a stupid fucking decision was thrown in their face over and over and over again."

You know you guys don't have to follow the minutiae of budget negotiations, right? Like, I'm not making a joke here, if the text of the agreement doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter, why are we obsessing over whether the wording is sufficiently stern or not?
this is simultaneously much more than i expected and not nearly enough. IF the Reps abided by this it would make things LESS awful but i just don't see why we'd expect them to abide by any agreement they make once they have cash in hand

If ICE is going to straight up ignore statutory restrictions, we are in a totally new kind of world than before January 2025, and (I cannot stress this enough) you must have dogshit for brains to go looking to Congress (let alone the House and Senate minorities) for solutions.

In a little over a month Biden signed the American Rescue Plan which cut child poverty in half nationwide by lifting millions of kids out of poverty.

It is funny how people who ran street campaigns which manifestly did not prevent us from arriving at our present plight remain above reproach & essential figures whose seniority must not be questioned, despite those same people frequently calling for mass replacement of elected politicians.

I think we're reaching the burnout stage for a lot of people on here. This is different from the crashout stage, which is characterized by blind panic. The burnout stage is when accounts just start posting cranky mockery in response to Democrats doing literally anything, like kids in need of a nap.
