Is there any set of circumstances where dems would ever take meaningful, organized action against The Party?

    It’s so funny, every election cycle of my existence on this planet has been “republican gets elected, does whatever they want, democrat gets elected, it’s soooo hard to pass laws :(”, repeat ad nauseum. I have this uncanny ability known as “pattern recognition”.

      Yup. Maintaining the status quo is easier than changing it. Even the tiny little bit Democrats try to change.

        Why was Trump able to make so many changes? Was it because he was a better statesman than Biden?

          The only people believing that Trump is actually a master of deal making is the Republicans and Blue no matter who peeps.

          Reminds me of how people keep going on about the charisma of Hitler.

        they don’t “try to change”, they expand on conservative policies while pretending that doing good things is impossible. They are controlled opposition. I’m tired of having this conversation every 4 years.

          Just look at Israel. The Democratic party Hulked the fuck out, closed ranks, and absolutely shattered any and all opposition to the genocide. They are more than capable of exercising massive political power but for some reason they only ever do it for terrible things and never for “that great thing that they weawwy weawwy want if it wasn’t for those mean ol’ Republicans.”

        Dont you libs hate Trump so much because he did some bad things? Did he not do things? Was it just the status quo you’re so mad about?

          I remember when Biden first got in and Libs were saying he was a smol bean and us Chad leftists were pointing this out about Trump I saw several Libs saying “well to be honest Trump really didn’t achieve THAT MUCH while in office.”

          Okay so you’re admitting you just didn’t like the guy cuz he was a uncivil dang cheeto?

            Why are you dodging the questions and instead trying to turn this into a dumb semantic argument? Could it be that a liberal has nothing of value to say? Boy, that’d sure be a first!
