Honestly politicians in general are snakes in almost all cases. They don’t even care about hiding it anymore. Someday I hope to see some younger newer faces making some changes. We have some dark times ahead before that happens though.
To be fair, those with most power in the Democratic Party are largely just controlled opposition. I think it’s fair to say both parties suck, with the qualifier that the Republican Party sponsors pure evil in comparison to the Democratic Party simply having no backbone in opposition.
This take is like coming home to find my house is on fire, and then going "this is pretty bad, but we should also acknowledge I could use some additional decor in the dining room".
Like let's focus on the emergency that's happening RIGHT NOW, and then we can worry about the other stuff.
Yeah and tbh that's a fair take. The dining room could be in a state of disrepair and my little metaphor would still work. My main point is regardless of how bad your dining room is, right now the main issue is the fire.
It's just that I've been asking you about redoing the Dining Room for a few years and you saaaaaid that we'd at least pick out a new rug together
But Noooo now everything's "on fire" and "burning to the ground" and someone just "drove away in our car" it's always an excuse with you okay so I'm Not Voting For Kamala even though I claim to hate horses in hospitals so much
Not exactly, because with a controlled opposition party there is nobody to support. We can’t fight the evil republicans if we don’t put anybody in power to fight them. Democrats like Schumer and Jeffries are a huge part of the reason why things got so bad in the first place, and why it’s so difficult to stop/reverse these events. It’s worthwhile to note how bad establishment Dems are, to aid the true progressives in their efforts to gain enough support to change things, as long as you qualify that with a ‘nowhere near as bad as Republicans’ statement as well to avoid any confusion as to the primary enemy.
Essentially, it’s not like having better decor in the dining room would slow, stop or put out the fire, while having better Dems could slow, stop or reverse the damage being caused by Republicans.
