Oh no, what if democrats gain power and give us all healthcare and actually take care of the sick and poor. Wouldn’t that be terrible?

It would be unexpected.

Sure is telling that his biggest worry is republicans losing power and not the sort of fucking depression that was the cause last time.

Opposition to whom?

Opposition to the left? Yeah.

It makes it look like democrats are willing to use the filibuster, while not actually blocking anything that might upset their donors.

Dull it. Less humane.

Once he does not occupy the presidency, he can be immediately arrested and prosecuted.

Yeah, like we did in 2021.

I see you’re gearing up for the inevitable sprint to the right and “no matter who unless it’s a progressive” push.

Coward press. Have the comedy but not the president.

He’s throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus and badmouthing people to his left.

He’s putting in his application for preordained nominee.

Being angry at the perpetrators of and apologists for genocide is something you will never be capable of understanding.

To remap the numlock off keys as a macropad.

Hogwash. Republicans revel in shutdowns, yet they voted against this one.

Maybe it really was the smaller loss in a lose/lose situation.

If it was the smaller loss, republicans wouldn’t have voted for it.

I didn’t expect the Republicans in Congress to give up that institution’s authority but they have done so.

10 democrats and one independent voted with them. Including the senate minority leader.

Siding with fascists while pretending to do anything else is what centrism is all about.

Stalin and Mao are both dead. Their ghosts are not in the room with us right now.

netanyahu is still alive and committing genocide, much to your delight.

In theory it wouldn’t be followed.

No. The people who scream the loudest about “tankies” are centrists who don’t think their party is far enough to the right.

I truly wish we could have a good faith conversation about the extreme shortcomings of the Democratic Party.

You will never admit that they have any at all.

That’s a good and valuable conversation to have. But Lemmy is absolutely INFESTED with “hello there, fellow Leftists” types who exclusively attack Democrats and are deafeningly silent about Republicans.

I consider the majority of this site as MAGA-compromised enemy territory. Any criticism about Democrats without at least a preferatory “Republicans are way worse” is immediately suspect.

Yes, when you pretend that everyone to your left is all the way to your right, you get to dismiss everyone to your left. Pretty sure that’s the only time you have anything bad to say about anyone you claim to be to your right.

As far as centrists are concerned, everyone to the left of netanyahu is a tankie.
