Members stevenkesslar Posted March 22 Members Posted March 22 We Dug Into the Polls. Democrats in Congress Should Be Very Afraid. Every once in a while there is some new conventional wisdom that the media clings to, despite the fact that it is wildly untrue. In 2006, the mass media helped build the argument that home prices never go down. In 2010, they all said home prices will never go up again. (Tell THAT to pissed off Zoomers). In 2010, they were saying that austerity was in and the rich would now hide their wealth. Tell that to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. But many of these ridiculous myths are political. In 2008, the Republican Party was dead. Until 2010, it turned out. Now the Democratic party is dead. Despite actually netting one US House seat in 2024. I love it that all the right wing media that populate the MAGA universe think that they are above the MSM. Even as they act just as stupid as the MSM. They more than anyone else are celebrating the stupid idea that the Democratic Party is doomed or dead, as Trump's approval continuously ticks down. Poor things! If Trump simply ate a few House Republicans that pissed him off, Democrats would have a House majority. Poor Mike Johnson. Best not hang out in the White House kitchen, Mike. Maybe Hannibal Trump will turn some weak and fawning Republicans like you into Southern fried chickens. I get the argument that Schumer is a wimp. But I also get the Politico argument that Schumer is pretty good at one thing: winning. New York politics is a blood sport. And he always survives. It seems like the best solution to the Democrats' problem now is just that: winning. I am glad Democrats are enraged and pissed. As the article argues, it will hopefully lead to lots of good upheaval in the Democratic Party. Just like it did to Republicans after 2008. Which, by the way, WAS a real landslide. Schumer and Democrats need to let Hannibal Trump and Elon Lector go right ahead and eat lots of Republicans alive. I know, it's gross. But who ever accused Trump or Musk of having good taste? My beloved Sister In Cock @Suckrates just posted about how The Homophobic Bitch from Wyoming is whoring for Musk and pissing her own voters off by defending cuts to government programs that help Wyoming. Great! But I don't understand why they let them leave the town hall, instead of chopping them up for some exotic dinner for Musk at the White House. But they'll get there eventually, I'm sure. They're not against SNAP or Medicaid or veterans. They're just against waste, fraud, and abuse. So they just have to figure out whether the working class Republicans they will dine on are waste, fraud, or abuse. Recall that Wyoming is the state that just handed Liz Cheney her head on a silver platter a few years ago. Yummy! 🤢 So apparently they can do without the Cheney wars. But not without their government benefits. One great thing about that article is that I think it tells Democrats exactly what we need to do, at least at an abstract level. Someone like Trump needs to come along, throw the pieces of the Democratic coalition up in the air, see where they land, and then put them back together in a different way. We'll see if Democrats can do better than the insolent, stupid pig. Since he is insolent and stupid, I think we can. The thing I worry about is that Democrats may be dumber than Dorothy. And we won't figure out that we really don't need to look any further than our own back yard. The back yard of the US has a name, by the way: Mexico. In Mexico, you could run a country beset by COVIDflation, which killed incumbents all over the world. And yet you could still win in a landslide with a lefty woman of color. How? You just had to fight like hell for the working class every single fucking day, and mean it. AMLO did. The voters loved it. Not that Democrats need to worry about what Latinos think, right? Republicans mock the idea that we would help the poor or the working class by simply putting money in their hands. But, in fact, AMLO just put money in their hands. Funny how everyone likes more money, just like Elon Musk. I was a whining bitch when Democrats let those expanded child tax credits expire in 2021. But guess what? They put money in the hands of tens of millions of Black, Hispanic, and White working class families. Remember? All those people who voted for Trump because they were pissed about prices, and Biden's perceived failure to do anything about it?. If some Democrat like AMLO or Claudia comes along, the insolent pig's party will be the one that gets slaughtered. The big problem in my mind is whether the money whores in the Democratic Party will tolerate it. Because working class fighters are the Democrats who will rob from the rich and actually put money in the hands of the working class. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, two of the biggest money whores in Congress, are gone. And Trump's money whores, led by Musk, are pissing people off. It is time for Democrats to fight about who the fuck we are actually fighting for. If Democrats can not be at least as smart as Dorothy - or Claudia - it is our own damn fault. Quote

Nope. I'll thank you for being such a fierce advocate of democracy and human rights in Ukraine. You'll stop at nothing to save the lives of Ukrainian women and children. And whenever global experts want informed analysis on democracy, they always turn to @Moses for insight. Politico, which would not be allowed to flourish by your genocidal monster, has already been attacked by our traitorous insolent pig. No wonder why! You might read a few of their articles and learn something. They write, and think, a hell of a lot better than ChatGPT. Pete1111 1 Quote
