Honestly it seems like Republicans seem to be doing every legal, and illegal thing that take power and it doesn't seem like Dems re fighting back. So what are they doing.

And like people attacked AOC when had some ideas.

Example she had the idea of making abortions open on some federal lands, and they shot that down like crazy.

So nothing. Even when Republicans had smaller numbers they were doing stuff. Sayin vote for us. Then say oh the other guys stole the court but just vote of us. Is not wining all the hearts that they need.

They sang and read a poem. What else do you want? Why aren't you grateful!? Are you a secret Republican!? Stop being a doomer!

It's obvious top Dems are scared of reprisals once Republicans come to power or they made deals to keep up the illusion of a working Democratic government until Republicans take over. Or maybe they are really just that incompetent. And certain folks wonder why some of us are "doomers".

At this point, it's like hoping the Washington Generals finally win against the Harlem Globetrotters.

Dems are basically of the "Can't we all just get along?" Mindset even as Republicans walk all over them treating them like shit.

Republicans are basically bullies who pick on the weaklings because they know they won't fight back or do anything. While also having a massive superiority complex, think that they're better then everyone else and that they're just doing God's work.

my theory Dems know way more about the republicans than we do specifically nazi/white supremacy stuff and if they were to go all out with disrespect then it would be no turning back civil war from there.

Like the people funding Alex Jones can only be nazis if Biden was to name the actual Nazis and call them out on TV I think that could cause outrage.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that she *needs* to run in 2024. Between voter suppression, the ongoing legislative and judicial coup, and the incompetence of the democratic gerontocracy, we need to go big before this all ends. We need someone who can fire up the base and actually try.

Sadly, the Democrat establishment would make sure she'd never get anywhere near the presidency. They'd rather have Republicans win than a progressive.

Since you couldnt be bothered to look up why what AOC was suggesting wasnt workable, the next day the Supremes ruled that state law superceded tribal law.

And that state law enforcement could just go onto federal lands and arrest people for violations of state law.

You know Tribal Land is not the only Federal Land right. You call me uneducated when both you are banking on the idea that must go to tribal land. AOC, Elizabeth Warren and like the Governor of New York, agree with me.

So why don't you educate yourself . Why don't you do that. Are you too busy bootlicking a Republican.

Because I am right and you are wrong. Tribal Land =/=All Federal Land. I didn't even know what your dumb ass comment was about since it was based on that idea that AOC and others were just talking about Tribal Land when they expressly spoke about other things.

The gag rule prevents using any other federal lands besides tribal lands.

You dont. Know what. The fuck. Youre talking about.
