Someone please explain to me how moderate Democrats and DINOs have held power off and on for the last 50 years but somehow this is progressive’s fault.

How many votes do you need in the Senate for that to happen? 

Republicans were smarter about it than Democrats. Simple as that. And they realized the importance of the courts decades before Democrats did. And they fall in line, party-wise, more than Democrats, and they’re not wasting time and effort on fucking useless purity tests. This is the result.

See noyousetyourusername’s comment. It might be relevant to you as well. 

This is Jezebel’s MO and has been for a while. I think they ran out of money to hire anyone who isn’t totally clueless.

It’s easy because consciously or subconsciously, people want the woman to be to blame, to be a lying bitch, and all her flaws will be magnified while the man’s are ignored. 

It’s not that Lisa is a socialist ... it’s that she’s always whining about “BUT THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO” ... as if that, in and of itself, will get said thing done.

you must be confusing the Democratic Party with a socialist party that never really existed in the US, and the US with Europe. You overestimate the popularity of the left wing of the Democratic party and the fact that their platforms aren’t viable in most of the country which is far more conservative than you want to…

I read it here but it Cruz said it that just goes to show even a broken clock is right twice a day. 

This, and also people need to realize that as tragic as Griner’s situation is, the US isn’t about to go to fucking war with Russia - a nuclear state - , or make concessions like dropping sanctions that would have implications for the war in Ukraine, over her or any other individual. 

And the only people surprised by this guy saying the quiet part out loud are the useless Lisa Simpsons who make up a good chunk of the Democratic party and its electorate... And don’t get me wrong, I love Lisa Simpson as a character but whoever the Jez commenter who said Democrats were a party of Lisa Simpsons is a…

‘Do better’ is fucking insufferable virtue-signalling moral puritanism BS. Can’t stand it lol. 

Yeah, my only takeaway is that the internet outrage mob will forgive you if they already like you and you can’t do wrong in their eyes. It’s still a crapshoot who gets cancelled or doesn’t and there’s no road to redemption unless they already had their nose up your ass. Pretty much anyone else could have done the…

Ugh. Fucking assholes.

I’d say it doesn’t really matter how many support it if they’re not voting. And yes, I know there are a lot of reasons why people don’t/can’t vote, but it doesn’t change the outcome. 

Absolutely. It speaks to the larger point of not overestimating the importance of polling/surveys, which the author of this piece seems to be doing.

I fucking hate DeSantis but when you have power, use it to the full extent you’re allowed. Obviously, Republicans use it for the worst possible causes but I’d love to see Democrats get the shit they want done when they are in power, instead of rolling over, wasting time trying to be bipartisan, or bickering amongst…

Ok, how about this? Answer my original question and I’ll answer yours ;) 

Answering with a question isn’t an answer, and you know it. Thanks for proving you don’t actually have any fucking clue what you’re talking about! 

I’m also not the only person who’s asked you this and you couldn’t answer them either. But yeah let’s just abolish the police, why reform or rethink when you can just score some online activist points by repeating tired talking points whilst not actually having a thought out position on the issue?
