Democrats look to take majority in Congress.

    Any little bit to slow anything down. Would you rather they do nothing than do something within their power?

      At no point did I suggest they should do nothing, what I said was that what they do indeed do makes little to no difference in the material conditions of the society they rule.

      Seeing the DNC act like they’re actually opposed to what’s going on when they do so very little to change the course of history feels like someone spitting in your face and saying it’s raining.

      That’s lamentable.

        I’m sure you and I both agree that DNC leadership needs to change.

        But for the immediate future, for the 120th US Congress, I hope that they put every little bit of stress on Trump and his administration that they can even if they don’t make any material changes. Any little bit of sand in the gears. Help people to survive two more years and then we keep fighting in 2028, 2030, and beyond.

          No fucking shit.

          Same song and dance the Democrat-leaning voter has been doing for decades. Vote blue, watch em do fuck all to actually fix things and do it again every two years.

          It just doesn’t feel like sands in the gears of anything, it’s just the same old rhythm of the political machine operating like it has time and time again.

          Changing leadership will change nothing. There are safeguards in place to prevent the party from being taken over.

          Liberals have been telling us for decades this is the most important election of our lifetime and if we pull together this one time we can do it your way next time. 250 years later we’re still doing the same thing.
