    We’ve decided to rename the Democrat party to Republican Lite in order to appeal to more voters.

    I’m wondering where are the big names in the Democratic party and the left?

    There is a palpable atmosphere of fear coming from a large population in America and there is silence from the “opposition” party. Why isn’t Obama and Michelle organizing and speaking at rallies? Why aren’t other prominent Democratic leaders not trying to rally support for a genuine resistance. Not the resistance of 2016, which I feel failed due to no true national leadership from the Democratic party.

    Maybe this is happening and I just don’t see it, but it sure feels like the national Democratic leaders and influencers just threw up their hands and said “well, we’ve tried nothing and we are all out of ideas. You’re on your own to figure it out. But remember, if your leaderless pent up fear and anger turns to violence we won’t support you.”

    How about the guiding principle that Nazis are the enemy of America?

    Step 1: put AOC and Bernie in charge

    Step 2: Let em go ham

    At least do…something.

      Bernie is not a member of the Democratic Party right now.

        Might be the best reason to put him in charge.

          I’d love him to be in charge, but I doubt it will happen. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t retired yet considering his age. I’m glad he’s still fighting the good fight though.

    They had 12 years.

      That dickhead got roasted for “concepts of a plan”, but just when you think the Democratic party can’t get any more pathetic they go and show how hopeless they are. AOC needs to break and start a party with Bernie.

        It probably wouldn’t take much to get Omar and Tlaib on board either.

    Spoiler alert: it will be “send us more money!”. That’s what they always settle on.

      Democrats kept the filibuster around for this reason, right? They didn’t just keep it around to prevent progressive policy from passing, right?

    They’ll figure out some way to reach across the aisle and meet in the middle.

      Or treat the left as though they are voters with agency?

        Am I so out of touch?

        No, it’s the voters who are wrong.

    Gee. Maybe they should have come up with one some time between 2015 and now.

    “Personally, I don’t want to give Republicans an inch on their claims they care about national security after their pardons,” said Murphy, D-Conn. “My hope is that we’re going to be down on the floor and on TV and back in our states talking about the danger of these pardons.”

    At least there’s someone awake at the wheel

      They wouldn’t have lost either.

      Pelosi tanking kneecapping any attempt to curb congressional insider trading certainly didn’t help. Nor did funding a fucking genocide. Their continued subservience to donors over their voters drives people away.
