MODERATORS
they are doing exactly what they intended to do. what you want from them is another matter they are unconcerned with
Political focus groups suggest that any opinion or stance on any issue may open a politician to criticism, so obviously doing nothing will yield optimal polling results! /s
The consultant wing needs to fucking die.
Well that’s true.
for real. they should be LITERALLY AND PHYSICALLY SCREAMING in the halls. When told “how unprofessional” they should respond with “my opponents are fascists. fuck professionalism.”
BUT since they are not burning shit down, one can only assume they are in on the fascism too.
Are you 'burning shit down'?
What does that have to do with elected officials not using the power they've been granted?
a) where I can, yes. b) local politics, I am involved in. but i am not an elected federal official with ability to affect change and choice to not do it c) i serve the mutual aid part of my mindset as a first responder over 20 years now d) and finally I support systems who help others learn and grow.
are you?
What have you burned down? Sounds like you’re mostly working within the system to improve it and being a reasonable professional serving the greater good in the best way you know, which is (apparently) lame.
Democrats: Got any money?
No, but seriously. They are professional fumblers. They fucked up the last election hilariously bad by running Biden for so long.
Yes, my fellow citizens are idiots, but they should’ve known better!
Need to stop thinking about them as leaders and just people who arent good at anything but showing up for meetings.
Spot on with this perspective.
They’re management on a nice suit insisting everyone show up for content that’s so exciting it’s better left to an email.
Now, I can’t unsee it.
Except AOC and Bernie, of course, they have their shit together.
imagine if people who were good at other things started showing up to those meetings
Nah that’s too much work. Shitting on the Dems on the intertubes is way easier.
This would be more apt if it was a bloated corpse with flies circling.
Democrats have been working for the past year to get IEEPA tariffs struck down, and it worked. Take that win.
Maybe watch cspan instead of Fox? Mainstream media is Conservative or full Maga.
Democrats aren't doing much there, either. You're not wrong that the media ignores or actively attacks anything resembling leadership, because a progressive political agenda is a threat to their power structure. But there is still a dearth of leaders among the elected.
Honestly, the Republicans and MAGA are doing enough to hurt themselves and stop themselves. Just waiting will solve a lot of the problems.
... the gop has no plans on losing power and thinking they'll somehow fail now after theyve thwarted every attempt to stop them is absolutely insane.
Oh, they'll definitely crash the ship and it'll burn, but they'll be floating on the corpses of everyone else at the end of it. So, I guess, in a sense, ChicoSuave is right?
