minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month 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-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoPlenty do. There is another budget vote in less than half a year.
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldBanned from communitylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoOh cool. Like the continuing resolution they caved on.
minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month 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-squarekreskin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoEmpty optimism like yours which keeps the masses docile is why humanity is doomed.

minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI am on the left though… 🙃 I agree that they shouldn’t have caved. That’s a different matter to OC. One appointee, and one that has a history of being less insane.
