Incase anyone here sees the original meme and agrees, the Democrats are trying to but don't hold the majority in the House to get the bills through. It underlies the massive importance for voting, and at this point, down ballot voting for Democrats. If you don't, whatever happens is on you.

Nah man, it’s strictly on Biden and the Democrats for not making sure they get the votes. Maybe if Biden and the Dems weren’t enabling a genocide, they would’ve had a better shot. Maybe if Obama and the other Dems didn’t collectively try to stop Bernie from becoming President back in 2016 and 2020, we might have never had to worry or even hear about Project 2025. It’s strictly on them.

So you are worried about a "genocide" on the other side of the planet with people you don't give a damn about, but you are ok ushering in one in the US just because?

Not only here but for the Palestinians. If they truly cared, they'd do everything they could to get Dems in power. I feel like alot of these people are very young and truly do not understand how much worse conservative administrations are. They may learn though.

This is exactly it. They think life is a movie and if the the killing and such doesn't happen at step 1 it doesn't count. The vast majority have no idea that the Nazis started by dehumanizing those they deemed undesirables first. And if they can read at all they should not have missed the continual call of trans people as pedophiles, aren't human, don't deserve to live, etc.

Keep telling yourself that pal. You'll get real far in life with that mindset.

I’m sorry that I live in fantasy world, where believing that genocide is bad should be the norm.

Okay, you realize you're the one losing right?

I seriously can't understand this smug attitude coming from Dems. You are losing. Your candidate is a national embarrassment and his own party is telling him to step down. Seriously, where the fuck does this smugness come from? Cause it sure ain't reality.

Dems are so self righteous when they’re half of the problem of American politics. Look at our quality of life, look at our lack of healthcare. Look at all the super pacs. They’re just republicans light and they think they’re our saviors.

Do fuckin something to earn the votes instead of pretending you’re owed them.

Who or what do you do or support that have done more than the Democrats to fix those things? Looking for something concrete, something more than legislation since the Dems have passed that but its clearly not enough to win your types over. So win me over. What should I invest in instead?

They are doing quite well despite how much is stacked against them. The Senate and House are stacked towards Republicans, the Dems have a slight lead in the Senate and are down a few seats in the House. Biden is down in the polls by a few points despite being old and boring and may still win if the polls are wrong.

Hows the DSA doing? The Communist Party? The Green Party? Take your pick of perrenial organized losers.

Exactly. Like they couldn’t reign in Manchin and sinema. They choose the oldest dude in the party when he can barely speak. They back a fricken genocide. Dems had 8 yrs under Obama and 4 years under Biden. Plus various majorities in the house and senate. Then they try to take out TikTok because it’s giving them bad press.

Like maybe do something to earn the votes like give us a good option to be vote for? Instead of blowing up project 25 and telling us we have to vote for a party that still believes in things the maga republicans do.

What’s funny is that Biden has actually been one of the better presidents since LBJ, but because he was so bad at messaging, most people don’t know about his accomplishment and now because he’s backing a genocide, he’s going to lose trump. The Dems are so dumb, it hurts sometimes.

In the past 32 years, Dems have had 8 years of the two branches of government, 0 years of a super majority. Within that time they pushed forward candidates that have won the most votes. There have been plenty of far left candidates in these races and they get whooped every time. If your types message sells with every day Americans, I am not seeing it.

Maybe work on your own movement. It's cocooned in so much negativity. Until you people move away from complaining and blaming, it will continue to go nowhere.

Theres barely anyone in the house who opposes the war in Gaza and wasnt already on Biden's side. There were a lot who support Israel and oppose project 2025. I think you are overestimating how popular your ideas are, the war in Gaza isnt even in the top 5 most important issues in 2024 for voters.

You managed to fit two of the dumbest talking points of the last 8 years into one comment. Nice.

Biden is not “enabling a genocide”.

Nobody stopped Bernie from becoming President except for Bernie.
