    Democrats will assure us that real change is coming. Not immediately, of course. First, there will be committees. Then bipartisan working groups to determine whether the committees have been sufficiently bipartisan. By 2028, we may have a comprehensive framework for developing a road map toward the possibility of affordable health care.

    …

    And Democrats are more than happy to accept the assignment. After all, repairing what someone else destroyed is easier to explain to voters than fundamentally reimagining what government ought to accomplish. You don’t have to convince anyone that a better world is possible. You just have to remind them that things used to be slightly less terrible.

    Meanwhile, artificial intelligence and automation are transforming the labor market. Health care remains a financial obstacle course. Housing increasingly resembles a luxury product. Wealth inequality continues to widen.

    And this is what I saw with Democrats current leadership victory lap yesterday, words with no actions, capitulation to Republicans yet again before they even started, and just not meeting the moment.

      I see you follow American politics!

      Sweeping change? Nah, best we can do is roll back a few more recent Republican policies whilst throwing the trans community under the bus.

      If controlled opposition cannot be overcome with what non corrupt dems are left, everything must come down and we must start over. The Constitution even instructs us to form a new government if the old is corrupt.

    Palestinians are so fucked. Iranians are so fucked. The Sudanese are so fucked. We are so fucked. They’ll distract you with pronoun arguments while they ethnically cleanse with impunity.

        Brother they’re handing controls back to aipac after they won because pelple are sick of aipac. Are you being obtuse? How many times are they going to overrule the will of the people then get surprised when the people stop showing up again. Enjoy the downwars spiral you’re so invested in protecting you genocide apologist.

          You do realize a big group of Dems that got elected are not in Israels pockets right? On top of that spouting the same bullshit that helped trump get elected, who actively has helped and worked with Israel in the genocide is the dumbest shit possible you could say. At least you can get Dems to listen sometimes. Repubs actively do what their handlers say.

            Genocide apologists used to say elect them first then push them left, now you just don’t want any change at all. Kick rocks with your disingenuous framing, the only people helping republicans are the people still taking aipac money.

              Lol fuck off with that shit. The reason we’re bombing Iran is because of Republicans, the reason Trump wants to turn gaza into beach front is because of Republicans, the reason Ukraine is still being attacked and lacking munitions is because of the Republicans.

              You lot that thumbed your nose and got trump elected have more blood on your hands than people who voted for Dems…so kindly fuck off with your bullshit.

        Already wrote all my people, like I did last year, and the year before, and after the ‘war started’ and after the sheikah jara incident years before the war. Hope you’re right but Im not gonna hold my breath.
