Spent last night arguing with my liberal friends about Dems failing to pass min wage. Argued from the center left. Said Dem leadership needs to get its shit together and start getting the party in line. Otherwise theyre getting bodied in 2022 and never getting back in. They flipped out on me. Saying I was advocating for them to be just like Trump and the republicans.

Ive genuinely given up on them. I just dont get it. I dont know what to do. We're all queer and disabled. One of them constantly goes to protests and participates in her community. This wasn't even one of my hard left points. Like how the Dems are all psychos. Or the entire system is rigged. It was a genuine good faith argument about how the Dems need to change or we're gonna die. Im at a loss. How can you fix this?

    love yr comment but re the supreme court the democrats wouldn't have been able to filibuster since the republicans removed that option so they could appoint Gorsuch and subsequently Kavanaugh and Barrett. Instead you could blast the dems for being cowards who didnt eliminate the filibuster when nominating Merrick garland, with the excuse that republicans would use that against them. Which they went ahead and did anyway lol
