dems snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.. again...

Journal by fustakrakich

Russians?

There needs to be a prize for losing. The dems are so good at it

EDIT:

So Biden goes on his "climate" junket, what does he do? Tells OPEC to increase output to keep prices down in the US.. very climatey

    If the democrats and the republicans are all the same uniparty, then what does it matter?

    :-) To me it doesn't. Just looking to see if democrat voters will engage in any introspection yet, and that all their idealism is lost in Party finance

    This just brings us back to the parties really being what, in a proportional representation system, would have been coalitions. The democrats in Congress range from Jayapal to Sinema, and the republicans from Snowe to Gaetz.

    If what the democrats have won't unite their coalition, or a chunk of their coalition plus a chunk of the republican coalition, it's just a pipe dream and we all know this. So what you're really saying is idealism-schmidealism, they need to find proposals that can pass, or just keep the wheels turning.

      That is what the "system" is saying, and 98% of the people that vote are perfectly fine with it, even while the condos collapse one by one

                You win biggest dipshit of the day! Republicans want to be left alone? Is that why they crafted so much anti-gay legislation? Why they interfere in women's rights to their own body? Why you attack people that say Happy Holidays instead of your particular religious greeting? Why Reagan enacted gun control because of the Black Panthers? Why conservatives attacked Kapernick for taking a silent knee?

          Well, let's see, first, under Article 1 Section 4 of the constitution, they would ensure universal suffrage for all citizens over the age of 18 years old, then maybe they could redirect financial industry subsidies (that 120 billion a month) towards the national infrastructure and universal health care, they could end prohibition... so many things they could do.. why don't you name a few?

            Beats me, you're the one with the heavy critique.

            I'm pretty sure that there's already universal suffrage, unless you're complaining about fraud?

            Universal health care is a sorely debated point, and many parts of it are contentious. What kind of universal health care model did you have in mind? PPACA?

              Fraud is built into the registration process. There's no need for that crap. You present ID and vote, the ID is hole-punched and your thumb is dipped in acid...

              What part of "universal" don't you understand? You get free lotion for the thumb.
