It is important to also acknowledge the mistakes the democrats made, too. Why, in the face of a uniquely bad candidate, did the democrats lose?
They didn't offer voters enough. People are suffering unnecessarily and democrats only offer half measures or a stern warning that republicans are worse.

You think the Iranian people were expecting help from the US? What help would that be, Bill?
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

The demands were reasonable and the democrats still rejected them and made very serious policy errors.
Blaming voters alone is not the way. I think the main failure is the Democratic party establishment who failed to hold Trump accountable for the crimes of the first term.

Never you say. Trump continues to do worse things every day and you suggest congress will never act. That's some serious fatalistic thinking there.

Why doesn't it work? Think about it they're our representatives after all. They can at least SAY good things.

They fight hard and say the things they arent. ICE has to go and everyone involved with these massacres need to be investigated. Trump needs to be impeached, removed and put on trial.
That's the least they can do, really.
They need to whip their people into voting against ICE funding, too.

No one has agency when the system is controlled by special interest, really. I am hopeful that congress will see the light here, but I'm not feeling good about it.
Waiting for a year or even three for voters to overcome things like gerrymandering and the electoral college isn't working.

If you want this to change at all, you have to come to terms with why the Dems have failed to stop or even slow this quickening avalanche of madness.
Stop blaming voters for the failure of the politicians to care about the welfare of the people.

Dems will not win the midterms if they dont have a clear policy that matches the will of the voters.
That's why they lost last time, that's why they lose every time, even when they seem to have won.

Violence works when it successfully and strategically puts an end to resistance. Violence is used in conjunction with propaganda to justify it and quell negative public sentiment.
Non-violence works when it can highlight the injustice of state violence and overwhelm the effect of propaganda.

If you give MTG credit for passing one horrible bill after an overwhelming landslide of either authoritarianism or genuinely unhinged lunacy, you aren't just missing the big picture, you're a rube.

Did she change her mind on Jan 6th pardons? Has she denounced ICE raids? Is she at all calling for democracy in any way that doesn't fall in line with her ideology?

Well if you want to talk and have a conversation with a human being and perhaps learn something, I am here for you.
You mentioned 2 cities. One of them perhaps you could suggest "slashed" their budget. This is not an overwhelming wave.

The LAPD budget was never slashed. If you want to change the subject, I guess you can and we can take them one at a time.
Which city experienced a massive crime wave specifically due to a budget cut?

Talk about weak, he stepped down from a primary campaign he had a very good chance of winning, just to torpedo the chances of the most progressive presidential candidate in a century. He couldn't even stand up to the democratic establishment!

And how do we know that they didn't have it, but lost it when they were largely defeated in the 5th century? Anything you give them will likely be lost by that eventuality.

That said, it's unlikely the original dishwasher was installed properly in the first place.
