what the fuck is up with "leftists" treating dissent like a crime
why are you pathetic losers more scared to be identified as a dissident than us "shitlibs" who supposedly believe in nothing?
I feel ashamed I ever called myself a leftist. I thought you people were BRAVE

Kind of interesting how the online Commie Industrial Complex gets spooled up every single time the Democratic Party is making headway on an issue. Clearly nothing to see there.

The article doesn’t hide the ball, the problem is that the people who spend 8 hours a day complaining on this website about what Democrats are doing can’t be bothered to spend 30 second reading an article about what Democrats are doing

I think we're reaching the burnout stage for a lot of people on here. This is different from the crashout stage, which is characterized by blind panic. The burnout stage is when accounts just start posting cranky mockery in response to Democrats doing literally anything, like kids in need of a nap.

“Democrats suck they’re letting Repubs do whatever they want!”
[Democrats get some leverage, make demands]
“It doesn’t matter, there’s no way to enforce anything”
Then why TF do you care what Democrats do or don’t do since you believe nothing they do will matter? Why not just STFU?

You can just take the win and say Schumer did a good thing. I think separating DHS from everything else the government funds is the exact opposite of "lives of people thousands of miles away are not vulnerable"
a two-week CR is just *perfect* Schumer Democrats - punting the football as if the only events that matter are on the Hill and the lives of people thousands of miles away are not vulnerable in a way his caucus has never experienced in their lives.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer's office says a bipartisan funding deal has been reached to avert a government shutdown. GOP Senate leaders are now working to schedule a vote. https://cnn.it/4qMtoK9

No one has a plausible theory as to how Democrats actually can shut down ICE if they did they'd post that tiny little detail.
“While you can” is load bearing here, considering ICE is already independently funded outside of the appropriations process right now as we speak, for years hence if they wanted.
Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

if this was the toplines of a bill with a dem trifecta, i would get this response kinda. but also in that timeline, this wouldnt be hap[pening anyway and everyone is secretly scared to admitt that when they talk like this
A lot depends on how exactly stuff is worded, but it certainly seems like requiring warrants for arrests would be a big deal. I don't understand pre-emptively understanding a proposal as being useless is helpful.

I really don't know what y'all want Dens to do and Republicans are in charge. Your criticism of Schumer plays well on this site and in reality, it doesn't. Stop telling these people fantasies and tell the fucking truth about what can or cannot be done.

That's a good idea, but leaning into vibes isn't what the people in question are saying they want; almost every time, a good chunk of democrats are leaning into the vibes already. What people keep wanting is for vibes to become so strong that we just Win Tomorrow, and that's a whole different thing.

And also, you gotta say that. This whole "Dems aren't fighting hard enough!" stuff is dumb. What you want is them to perform rather than legislate. Which is fine, but you probably should say that.

the thing about believing conspiracy theories is that it signals to people who like to lie that you are receptive to being lied to and that they can get you to believe things that aren't true if they fulfill the needs the conspiracy theory gives you

A lot of people don't want to admit that simply voting for Harris would have prevented a ton of harm and would have done positive good. Saying its not "real change" is semantics.
Claiming politicians are only reactionary is false. You don't need to be 24/7 antagonistic to Schumer to get paid leave

Me saying: “voting isn’t how you effect real change.”
People hear: “oh so you just want people to not do anything, and are arguing for voter apathy!”
What? No, I’m doing a call to action! Go out and show politicians the change we want in this world. Politicians are only ever reactionary to us.

the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus.
It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway

The biggest disconnect right now is that if you accept the truth that Republicans control every aspect of government, Dems are playing this pretty well.
If you think there’s some secret “marshal of the Supreme Court” Louise Mensch-style power the Dems can invoke, you think they’re feckless losers.

I’m being told if Dems want to win they need to tell people that the only reason ICE exists is because of Nancy Pelosi, who voted against the bill that created the agency
I’m not sure what to do about people who spend all day on the text posting website and have apparently zero knowledge of rhetoric
“Dems, who must win to abolish ICE, should tie the toxic agency to themselves rather than the extremely unpopular president”
“Dems, who must win to abolish ICE, should tie the toxic agency to themselves rather than the extremely unpopular president”
Democrats may think they are softening the message when they say things like "Abolish Trump's ICE" but this is a mistake.
The qualifier of "Trump's" shows a deflection of Dem responsibility for perpetuating this agency and funding it.

I find that the people who use the "that's not what I am actually saying/it's a strawman" the most, to also never actually engage with what Democrats are saying or doing and have this entire invented framing of what Democrats say and do

It does feel a little weird being on the other side of the "you can't criticize the Democrats!" reaction, but so far almost all the pushback I have gotten comes responding to imagined arguments I'm not actually making or positions I don't actually have.
This individual apparently thinks the average American voter wants to hear democrats say that this is largely democrats’ fault, and that’s going to make things better somehow. How about no.

Harris did. She explicitly had a plan for a pathway to citizenship. Biden tried to get a massive immigration bill through Congress even introduced it on his first day in office.
It would help if people like Andrew Lawrence bothered to learn about anything Democrats actually do for once.

a political party that had responded in 2024 to “mass deportation” calls by proposing an alternative humane path to citizenship sure would be well-positioned right now huh? theyd probably look really smart and empathetic. would look like the only party who lived in reality and know whats going on
