the bar has long sunk through the other side of the earth and is now somewhere near pluto by now.

the democrats seems to exist solely as a make work program for consultants and lobbyists. their main function is to police the contours of what is politically possible and beat back the expectations and demands of their own base. they mainly exist to get their base to accept conservative governance

i have a vague recollection of hillary clinton in an interview a while back where she tried selling the exchanges or something as like its fun to shop.

…chuck schumer, 10 other democrats, the republican party and designing the healthcare system around expensive and cruel private insurance companies instead of eliminating them with single payer universal healthcare. unless we rid ourselves of these parasites this will keep happening

who is not a sexual predator AND won his own party’s primary!

please let us subsidize the needless , cruel and expensive vampire industry that we insist must exist and be the basis for our healthcare system or else they will charge everyone even more than they already do.

many such cases!

hopefully i am wrong but thats their position now but if and when the next dem primary comes along the “centrist” the party pushes will have some sort of “no we actually need ICE they are actually underfunded/ need more “training” etc and they will be right back on board.

they look like if a groyper became a real boy.

the “opposition” is like schumer and durbin. bleak shit.

seems like when democrats didn’t have any aggressive response to that leaked draft striking down roe it was a green light to aggressively pursue whatever they wanted.

first thing of course would be electing dems who WANT to do any of that stuff.

wait is this the we gotta kneecap that platner guy?

that dude starting off his bike jumped on and got away from like ten of them lol!

pretty cool we had that court case a while back where internal documents showed fox just stacked floor to ceiling with bullshiters knowingly lying constantly to their own viewers and yet we have to somehow pretend its a legit source of news or whatever.

im old enough to remember when it was just joe lieberman. then it was just manchin and sinema. now its just schumer and jeffries. weird it keeps happening.

to me seems like a similar dynamic. people understandably where afraid and wanted something done about planes flying into buildings but thats a far cry from wanting pointless expensive wars and the erosion of their own rights at home.
