    Call their fucking bet, then? You have a party of absolute corruption and a party that hasn’t had a chance to do the things they say they will, the choice seems really clear to me.

                What is it you think they could have done but didn’t?

                    They haven’t had more DNC than GOP in the senate in over 10 years, removing filibuster would just allow Republicans to pass whatever they want with simple majorities. That’s why things are so shit, people haven’t been voting DNC into power in any meaningful capacity.

      Call their fucking bet, how?

      This is seriously some low effort attempt to cover for democrats or an actual delusion?

      “They’re not doing anything significant, so let’s vote them all in so they can cry and while while doing nothing significant.”

      Actions speak louder than words, popularity stunts are not political actions.

        Elect 60 (or more) of them to senate for the first time in over 40 years.

        If they don’t pass their core policies, then there is no party representing the people and the radicals will have the opportunity to become mainstream and tear it down.

        If they do pass campaign finance laws, overturn citizens united, election reform, expand congress, reform the SCOTUS, tax the rich, and public option healthcare or even Medicaid for All: we all win.

        That still isn’t enough to cut off Israel, but certainly lessens their power by gutting AIPAC and substantially lowers their support in Congress compared to before.
