If you want a system of government where you as the voter have no culpability, you also need a system of government where you have no voice.

Ps: a common refrain that you'll hear is that "you're saying the Dems can't be at fault, it's the voters, as if the voters owe something to politicians and not the other way around!"
Yes, actually, that's how the social contract of democracy works. Voters yet the government they work for. Or don't.

Do I blame "the Left" for Harris' defeat? No, there's lots of factors and frankly it was most of all anti-incumbency Malaise backlash, Gaza was imo just a particular subset's excuse.
But you can't really have it both ways, either you're an electorally impotent smol bean or you're a proud wrecker.

You know, leftists insisting that they did their bit in trying to elect Harris and it wasn't them would be more persuasive if a lot of the folks involved hadn't loudly gloated about their electoral power in the heady aftermath of her defeat, before they realized it would make everyone hate them.

Anyway, it’s pretty fucking rich for people like this to situate their febrile fantasies as reality and any pushback as “do-nothing-ism.” Ludicrous. The thing about abolishing ICE is that it must be done and that there’s not a pathway to do it until democrats have the congress and the presidency.

“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.

i know this website struggles with nuance, but, surely, it is not hard to spot the wide open space between "right now we have the power to abolish ICE" and "we should abolish ICE as soon as we can do it", space which can host any number of statements which are *not* lies
ed markey thinks you're an idiot
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

first step to splitting DHS off from the minibus
The massive government funding package just failed badly in the Senate, 45-55.
Needed 60.
Zero Democrats voted for it.
SEVEN Republicans opposed it:
Budd
Johnson
Lee
Paul
Moody
Rick Scott
Tuberville
(John Thune switched his vote to no for procedural reasons.)

special place in hell for Libs of TikTok

Even if the effect on the "real world" of this kind of thing is small, it degrades the quality of discourse in spaces like this one! Which degrades OUR ability as a group to affect the real world for good, at least in small ways. It pushes left-liberal public conversation toward irrelevance.

Whats esp crazy about the latest Discourse is its not even like ppl are saying "no we dont want to get rid of ICE." Its p clear thst many prominent Ds are coalescing around exactly that. Its that what should be an uncontroversial statement of "itll take a D trifecta" is being treated as a betrayal.
