It presents a slight problem when the ones they’re bringing in to deal with the shitty politicians are the people who paid them to be shitty in the first place.

    Right right, that’s all fine, but we need to elect minimum 60 Democrats. Full stop. We need to support electing 60 Democrats. We can all gather around and discuss how to sort out our Democrats after we remove the Republican Menace.

      You kinda worked yourself into a dead end there. It’s impossible for 60 democrats to win in the Senate with the way the DNC currently acts. The idea that people need to just believe in the DNC is never going to sway the average voter who’s getting poorer by the day.

      Remove it from… What, exactly? Even if they do win 60 seats, do you think Republicans will disappear from existence? They’ll fuck around with their lame duck policies and get their ass handed to them by the GOP the next election. And setting all that aside: They could’ve just fucking gotten rid of the filibuster. The fact they haven’t after what the GOP did during Obama’s term should tell you all you need to know.

        DNC don’t decide if they win, we do. This is our job to do.

          And it’s never getting done, is the point here. This talk of jobs and duty will never get voters, no matter how much anyone wants it to.

      60 Democrats HAVE been elected before and nothing changed…

      Did you even read my comment?

        We had 60 for less than one month almost two decades ago. Since then we’ve elected less every year and blamed them more every year.

          Curious that, if all they need is 60 Democrats, why they didn’t seize that opportunity to try and deliver everything they’ve promised. Working 24/7 to pass bill after bill. And instead just squandered it…

            Oh yeah they should have asked the house nicely to vote to reform every system in the entire government in less than one month: you clearly do not want anything fixed, why are you being so disingenuous?

                If me asking an honest question is a personal attack, then clearly the truth is your enemy.

                    Yeah. I described to you why things haven’t been fixed and how we can fix them, and you responded that fixing it should have been done and that you don’t trust the fixers so you won’t let them fix it.

                    Just be honest with your beliefs, you don’t have to sit here and bullshit about it. You don’t want Democrats to win and you don’t actually care about any of these problems. Why keep up the facade?
