minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoNobody is voting for another year and a half. And hardly anyone for another three and a half years. Democrats need to pick the battles that matter.
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days ago Democrats need to pick the battles that matter. And by an astounding coincidence, none do.
minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoPlenty do. There is another budget vote in less than half a year.
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoOh cool. Like the continuing resolution they caved on.
minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 days agoCynicism like this is why humanity is doomed. Or am I misreading you and you actually think things can (if not will) get better?
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoThey didn’t betray you when they sided with trump.
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoWhen democrats caved and voted for trump’s continuing resolution, they betrayed the left. They didn’t betray you.

minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoWhat are you actually trying to say the solution is?
minus-squarekreskin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 days agowhat are you saying the solution is? more of the same?
minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoNot at all. I made a very specific critique of this moment. I probably want what you do. I mean name a few changes or events that would make your day. That you think have a chance of happening if people do the right thing.
