The Democratic base doesn't have the will, for a variety of reasons.The Democrats need to do something, anything. Starting to feel about the Republicans the way I felt about the Taliban taking over Afghanistan, at least they seem capable of holding Power.
Republicans embrace their Base, Democrats try to silence theirs. This is not going to end well if it continues. They already call you Commies, stop acting like actually doing something will harm you.

Ok fuck off then, I guess I am done here You look like a good candidate for the ignore list.
Culture of winning? What even is that? Treating politics like sports is why Americans vote like fucking morons. As for not holding power even with the most votes, that's a problem with our current system, not Democrats.But F the party as well who couldn't put up anyone else in the primary and lost it all.
Ultimately that defines Ds, no culture of winning. Get the most votes, still hold no power, but just look sad in response.
If a full-grown adult decided to shove his fist up your ass and wear you like a puppet for 9 months you would have the right to shoot him in the head. The fact that he is a person is irrelevant. Personhood of the fetus does not matter one bit. No person has the right to occupy space inside another person's body without their consent. Full stop.That is a good question, I don't mind talking about my opinions. I don't think that anyone should be telling other people how to vote though. That is a personal decision.
On my opinions: I think we need a much better healthcare system, probably free without the need for insurance. I also think we need more guns, and fewer restrictions on them and the types of them, but at the same time background checks are a good idea. I would say I am pro life, in most cases, in the sense that I don't think we should have the death penalty for most cases. As for abortion, I see it largely as a HUGE wedge issue that everyone gets angry about, and it is very divisive. I wish people would just let some of this stuff be. Now I think that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies, but I guess the question is, at what point is another persons body involved, in other words, when is it a baby? That I do not know and do not have a good solution for.
As for foreign policy, I used to be more like, leave stuff alone, now I am more of a hawk, if justified. Especially with all the craziness from Russia and China. I kinda think that the US should be more involved actually, eventually at least, but for now we need to fix problems at home as much as possible first. Overall, I consider myself a free thinker, I like to think outside the box, and I am a liberal, in the sense that I value freedom and liberty. It seems most people don't know what that term means anymore, and just throw it around in different ways.
Invasion? Do you seriously think even if every other country on earth decided to invade us they would be successful? Geographically it is practically impossible. The only way it could ever be even remotely possible would be if say half the country decided to align with the invaders. I'll give you one guess which demographic would even consider that and here's a hint: it's the ones with the most guns.Why not? Anyway, I am more concerned about too many restrictions than actual numbers, to be fair. But to answer the question as to why more guns could be beneficial, it would be for defense of the homeland in case of an invasion.
The stupid Democrats need to actually start working on the issues average people face throughout their day, not putting litter boxes in high schools for furries lol.
He's not wrong. If you watch someone dismantle democracy and you just stand by and watch. You are just as guilty.
Republicans embracing their base led to them losing all elected bodies of government despite holding HUGE structural advantages. If the vote totals flipped exactly what you end up with is a GOP trifecta filibuster proof majority. So why exactly should democrats embrace these tactics when they are almost certainly a route to catastrophic losses?The Democrats need to do something, anything.

The problem is the system - there is no magical set of tactics that change this.
Heard Fox screaming this morning this doesn't end abortion because people poor people will just get on a bus and travel half way across the country to have one. Buses have been around for more then 60 years. How did that work out before?GOTTA LOVE FOX.... HAHAHA
First ignoring, then deflecting to Hunter's notebook, then... the realization that YES THEY TOO must abide by this potential ruling.
GEE WIZ...
Now, when Shannon Bream gets raped by Tucker Carlson, she will be forced to give birth to that commie baby.
And GEE WIZ...
When Laura Ingraham gets raped by Sean Hannity, she too will be forced to give birth to that bastard baby.
FUNNY....
How republicans have always used these social issues to win elections, yet to NEVER IMAGINE it ever actually happening. BUT NOW.... IT HAS....
Be prepared, it will be the Fox views who will cry the loudest, and cry WE NEVER REALLY THOUGHT THIS WOULD ACTUALLY EVER HAPPEN.
Trump based his 2020 campaign on that premise. How did it work out for him?The Base remains motivated when their concerns get addressed.
What happens when they don't want darkies eating at the same lunch counter with their lily white asses?
He got more votes than any previous president in history?Trump based his 2020 campaign on that premise. How did it work out for him?
Major SCOTUS in fighting.
Whatever the decision is it will come out before the election. Honestly if I had to guess about any shenanigans it would be to get it out now so outrage hopefully fades by November.Why leak this if it were going to happen anyway in June? I can think of three possibilities.
The leak will be the decision but those slimy conservatives will put off the decision until after the election. Progressive warning.
Possible fake out and conservatives will fall back on 15 week ban and in comparison it won't seem so bad.

If people on the left behaved like righties the storming of SCOTUS would begin.

He also lost by the widest margin of any incumbent since Herbert Hoover. I struggle to understand why anyone would view that performance as something to emulate.He got more votes than any previous president in history?
Right but the discussion was about energizing the base and he clearly did that.He also lost by the widest margin of any incumbent since Herbert Hoover. I struggle to understand why anyone would view that performance as something to emulate.
Imagine if Biden had lost by seven million votes. Everyone here would rightly conclude he had a bad plan. The only reason the election was close is because the playing field was so skewed in Trump’s favor that he could lose by about 6.9 million and still be president.
LOL what makes you think Roberts can do anything.. they have 5 votes already.
This. He can do a Susan Collins brow-furrowing and act very concerned, dissenting since he knows the court doesn't need his vote to pass it.Roberts is the designated "good cop." Don't fall for it. He's only doing it because he's the 6th vote, to preserve so called credibility of so called court. If he was decisive vote, he'd vote to dismantle Roe too.
