Seriously, just do some fuckin’ research (fine: Google “quorum call”) and then wonder why you haven’t heard word one about the Dems making overtures to Murkowski and literally forcing the Sgt. at Arms to drag them in for a vote. Wonder why Dem lawmakers aren’t militating the people protesting outside, telling them to…

Every dumb, smug schmuck in here saying some variation of “BUT WHAT COULD THEY DO” is both 1) a perfect summation of why the Democrats are truly fucked and 2) lacking in imagination in the same way the (ostensible) left party is, a lack of imagination that will doom the very people they claim to protect. You people…

Fuck you and your fucking “no power” garbage apologist bullshit. Here’s an idea.

Last time I checked, the Dems didn't whip Manchin to a no vote. I take that as a failure.

...when in reality there were no tactics that really could have saved them in this situation.

Yeah, Stein voters told her to campaign in Texas. In October. 

“First off, very few people give a rat’s ass about the drinking habits of their Congressman/woman, never mind that of a potential Supreme Court Justice.”

I...don’t believe that this is true.  

“Even with the rape charges, as much as I believe them to be true, they’re not documented proof.”

For the 1,000,000th time,…

A nice new take continuing the grand tradition of Democrats shooting themselves in the foot. 

Seriously, fuck off to another website already. It’s been the same tired bullshit for two years now. We voted for Hillary and we got fleeced and we have every fucking right to be pissed off about it.

Manchin deserted the party. No one else did.

Shut the fuck up, you longwinded blowhard. You are wrong. Mirkinson is right.

The Democrats would be in power if they weren’t spineless, disconnected, feckless tools who are too busy sniffing their own farts to realize they have been getting their asses whipped for 10 years. Stop blaming the people who came out to vote despite not liking their choices.

Shut the fuck up. You’re horrible.

This is Hillary Clinton’s fault and any of you bootlicking cretins who wants to lay this at the feet of progressive voters can line up here to kiss my entire ass.

The Democrats didn’t just fail us; they wanted this. That’s what the Joe Manchin “yes” vote is all about. He gives the entire party cover (because all the people who are going to complain already believed him to be an asshole already) for doing the proper, bipartisan, compromising thing, and allowing Kavanaugh to be…

It does not matter whether he assaulted Ford or anyone else. I mean, obviously it matters, but there can be an eternal back and forth of assertions and denials, and without a video from 30 years ago, there could never really be “proof”, at least not of the kind that could cause a Republican to believe a woman.

I stopped reading after the first sentence. You literally asked me what I’d want him to do, and the first thing you come back with is some mealy-mouthed bullshit about how you’re glad my word isn’t the standard.

Oh, baloney. And get off your high horse. All he had to do was just expand Medicaid. Call it what it was, pass it in a fraction of the time it took, and move on.  Nobody’s calling him a monster. Just not terribly effective and more than a little full of it.

Then I’d say, respectfully, that he shouldn’t be speaking for the party as he did.

Yup. A day late, several trillion dollars short.
