    Amazing that "what if we wield the power we won to govern and do what we campaigned on" is seen as some last ditch, hail Mary play

      Dems will never wake up to this shit. We get played for fools year after year and the response is just :vote: every time. We’re doomed

      Some think that Democrats may fare better in the upcoming election by doing something that voters will like. We call those people crazy. - WaPo

      Literally meaningless, I couldnt even tell you what their agenda is. Is it "Reasonable number of covid deaths! Reasonable amount of child poverty! Civil response to growing fascism!" because a rallying cry that aint.

        Their response will be “three arrows” enlightened centrism. They will say the Tankies and the fascists are both equally dangerous to our democracy.

      Oh this literally is what made me realize that the "their" in "pass their agenda" wasn't the GOP

        They’ve been doing/saying the same shit for eons and nobody bats an eye. We’ll still be talking about the deficit 50 years from now and people will still care.

    Yknow if they actually passed the shit they ran on and ended the pandemic they would probably win, or at least be in a much better situation than they're in now.

    But we're almost halfway to the midterms, and none of that has happened yet...

    Some people believe diving head first out of a 20-story window might have severe consequences. Some people believe it's the fastest way to the lobby.

      It's commonly believed that diving head first out of a 20-story window has severe consequences. However, some are beginning to say that it might be, a faster way of reaching the lobby.

    They're handling the virus by not doing a fucking thing to stop it. This will impress moderate republican voters who will shoot you if you ask them to wear a mask in public spaces.

    What??? I thought voters would be extremely impressed with democrats because they didn't upset the parliamentarian. Am I really the only motherfucker that still gives a shit about pleasing the parliamentarian? This country's clearly gone to shit if we're just going to start ignoring the parliamentarian whenever it's convenient.

    Lawmakers know they need to get better at selling [Biden's] agenda

    Selling? I think maybe you mean PASSING. You know, the thing...that you have yet to do!
