    I really hope this is true. More depressing than Trump winning the election has been everyone being so resigned and despondent. If people don’t fight for every inch, he’s going to take miles and miles before everyone wakes up.

      Yeah, the number of Democratic lawmakers voting for his cabinet appointees and that “deport migrants who are just charged with a crime” legislation has been awful to watch, hopefully this snaps them out of acting like Republicans won some landslide

        It is truly concerning how many democrats are going along with this nonsense. Defy, resist, fight.

            Deny his lies and false orders.

            Defend your community from fascist oppression.

            Depose that orange fucker and all his stooges.

            So then you’re a hardcore democrat supporter so they can get 60 votes and pass single payer like they tried to do a decade ago when they had 58 and couldn’t convince the caucusing independents?

                Deny Depose Defend is a slogan used by people who protest the unnecessary death caused by greedy health insurance executives.

                So if you’re a good faith rational actor you should support the DNC because they want exactly what you want and oppose the people who want the polar opposite.

                  I’m a good faith rational actor who votes blue but I certainly don’t call myself a Democrat - let alone a hardcore Democrat. There are several Democrats I love, they just don’t represent the party as a whole.

                  The DNC has been failing me for a decade so the only thing I support is new, progressive leadership. No more of this establishment shit, I’m tired of voting for out-of-touch career politicians through gritted teeth.

                    Insulting the DNC constantly is what led to 6.27 Million 2020 Biden voters staying home in 2024. Your words have an impact, a huge impact, and you’re choosing to put down the party you want to win? Stop doing that, maybe?

          We keep telling you they are on the same side. The good cop/ bad cop routine is tissue paper thin, and still the constituency refuses to see it.

            Get 60 Dems in senate, give them house majority, and then we can talk about how similar they are. They had a supermajority with caucusing independents over a decade ago for only 72 days and it gave us medicaid expansion and the most productive congress since the 89th congress.

            None of these appointments would be taking place if people had simply voted Dem to begin with.

        The gay man and the former florida senator I can understand, and Hegseth barely passed at all not even getting all 53 Republicans, but idk why tf a fox news host got 23 democrats to sign off on becoming transportation secretary.

        RFK hearing is going on as I type this and most of his picks are TBD.

      Fighting for every inch should have happened during the election, but demonstrably in this comment section we would all rather shit on Democrats than try to fix this by convincing people to vote for them.
