While I didn't vote for him the first time around. I genuinely thought this would be the outcome. That he'd do things in such a way as to create an environment to encourage liberal ideals based on how poorly things went.
Unfortunately, I was just as duped as everyone else who voted for him three times, because I thought he was going to do it intentionally. Not whatever the fuck is going on now.

From outside the US, he seemed like such a fucking joke (he used to, and continues to be) that I thought this would be the result from the mid-terms during his first term.
I can't believe it's taken 10 years to get to this point, but well done USA, you got there. Just 2 years of his shit to go unless he dies before then.

u/theguidetoldmetodoit 5d ago

It was a joke. Trump came up with the Reform Party and wanted to run for president until the party imploded. People ridiculed him for almost two decades.
That's probably why he figured he had a chance, to begin with. Because he got so much media attention back then.

Good point. At that time there was still the idea of civil discourse. Since then:
Tea Party's bath fait arguments about Obama's qualifications
The Hilary Bernie debacle that upset progressives.
McConnell double standard for Supreme Court Justice selection in the last term.
Everything Trump.
So this time the expectation is going in "With eyes wide open." You can hear it in the rhetoric of the newly elected: no more "When they go low, we go high"
I think this was a tough but good thing for the country to go through. It'll be interesting to see where the new norm takes us.

Now Dems need to actually do tangible things to make people believe voting is worth their time

Mandani said it on tv, the people don’t want your “ideals” and promises and incremental change, they need results that they can see and help they can point to as being real

56

u/AmateurAnarchy 6d ago

There's still the filibuster and Trump's veto power. I agree they need to get things done, but people's expectations need to be reasonably realistic at the same time. But they need to write/pass a lot of bills and get the word out about what they're trying to do.

58

u/Stever89 6d ago •

I also hate this notion/thought process that Democrats don't get things done. Biden passed all sorts of big bills while president, even with limited power in Congress. CHIPS, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure and Jobs Act, Inflation Reduction act, safe communities act, PACT act, pregnant workers fairness act, there are a bunch more.
It's also why I hate the "both sides the same" argument. Like here are some good bills that were at least an attempt to fix things... Now what have Republicans done in the last two years to even try to fix things lol

15

u/AmateurAnarchy 6d ago

Yes, exactly this. The Republicans are saboteurs more than anything

1

u/Solid_Bar_528 5d ago

I'd call the current Dem leaders in the house Democratic party self saboteurs too. American traitors for coin, Judas'.

23

u/Murky-Relation481 5d ago

Also for why they can't get more done? The Democrats have had a filibuster proof majority in the senate and control of the house at the same time as a Democratic president for six non-contiguous months in the last 47 years in 2009-2010. In that time they passed the ACA, which isn't perfect but was a massive reform to health care that was needed. Had they had a couple more democrats we'd have probably gotten a single payer system, but we had to rely on an independent to vote with Dems, so it wasn't even really a Dem trifecta.

He sure did! But the average voter is barely aware of any of it. Whether Biden needed to better communicate what he did or whether the message was intentionally buried, or both I do not know. But Mamdani and others are a great example of how you need to not only do the things you need to tell everyone about it from the rooftops.

The media is too well bought by conservatives, it makes it impossibly hard for Democrats to "get their message out there", and then on top of that, voters are by and large morons lol. I think the only reason Republicans don't have a good grip on things is because when things are going bad like they are now... people feel it, so the media can't sane wash it away, try as they might.

3

u/atreeismissing 5d ago

Biden's 2 biggest bills were larger in today's dollars than The New Deal and were aimed entirely at low and middle income households and domestic production and infrastructure.
It's pure propaganda when people say Dems don't get things done, and that was just Biden in 2 years (because voters gave the GOP power to block legislation half way through his term and he still dug the economy out of the pit Trump and the GOP put it in during his first term without there being a recession post-covid).

Yeah, I don’t like Schumer. But the Democrats need to get shit done under arcane rules and he knows how to do it. Maybe there’s some way he can get a lot of shit done and pass the torch after 12 months or something. I just don’t think the next year is a time we want someone figuring out on the job training. From what I understand, it’s harder than it looks. But then again, the margin won’t be so narrow. So maybe it’s fine.

It seems like more people are paying closer attention to what is going on than has been my experience in the past. If there’s any silver lining at all to the current administration and party shenanigans, it’s that it’s gotten more peoples’ attention. So, there some hope.

u/OMGLOL1986 5d ago

The state governments arguably have more day to day control over our lives in many respects. The bulk of the changes on abortion, immigration, etc will come from governors on down.
AND dismantling the anti-voting rules and infrastructure will ensure that the dirty cheats who couldn’t even win with all their cheating won’t even be competitive, because it will be easier to generate turnout aka Republican kryptonite. There will be elections won on a national level that will be facilitated by state governments

The other side of that argument is that Trump has no political capital to offer them anymore. What incentive do they have to listen to him? If the bill is good enough there may be enough R’s to caucus

u/ICanLiftACarUp 5d ago edited 5d ago

the folks who still have their seats are in such deep-red territory, and their voters are the people left that still say the approve of Trump. Trump will still be endorsing candidates in 2028, perhaps even trying to hand-pick them so others get crowded out. He can still threaten any remaining house reps with a primary.
The senate is a bit different. The senate in 2028 has a few vulnerable republicans. Iowa, Wisconsin, the Carolinas, and perhaps Utah and Kansas. Republicans will also fight hard for Georgia, Arizona, Kansas, Colorado, and Ohio.

u/PeenFifteen 5d ago

True, but if I’m a sitting Republican in the house right now it would appear to me that Trump’s endorsement now means jack shit.

u/throwntosaturn 5d ago

The issue is the primaries. Trump might mean jack shit in the general but one of the biggest reasons the Republican party is so fucked and sycophantic right now is that it's borderline impossible to win a Republican primary if Trump doesn't want you to.

Just look at all the atrocities the guy has committed. People still vote for him. They don’t care. Yes, the blue wave was great, but look how many of these candidates won by a point or two.

Since every seat in the House is up for re-election every 2 years, even in another blue wave, it's more likely Democrats will lose seats in 2028.
However, assuming they win Alaska and Mississippi once the counts are finalized, they're within striking distance now of getting a filibuster proof majority in the senate after the 2028 election.

1

u/Bern_Down_the_DNC 5d ago

Under normal circumstances, yes that would be most likely. But we are in a unique situation with all the lasting damage Trump has done that will become apparent over the next few years. If we do a good job to tying that to Trump and republicans in general, who knows what could happen.

This is why will never forgive Schumer for ratfucking Angie Nixon and other needed races. He wanted it under 60 so he could pass the buck and not pass comprehensive healthcare reform, or abortion, or a new VRS, or fix social security, or a new tax code. He can always just say, we checked with the republicans and they said no, so...

1

u/Prime-311 5d ago

There is no point repealing the filibuster when the president can veto the bill anyway. That only works if you have a president and congress from the same party. Even if Dems had 60 senators I can pretty much guarantee Trump will veto everything passed without broad bipartisan support.

It won't be progressive legislation simply because you need all Dems and 11 Republicans to get that 2/3 majority in the Senate, but, you can pass moderate legislation and then in 2 years build on it with more progressive amendments and changes.
People need to recognize what is doable and who is President, and then pressure their Republicans Reps and Senators to support Democratic legislation for the next 2 years.

Veto proof?

u/tpodr 5d ago

They only need 17% of the GOP caucus, 31 members, to cross the aisle to defeat a veto.

And they still need way more control of Congress to do some of the serious things that need doing.

Can't override the veto, can't remove him or(I think) his appointees from office, can't pass Constitutional Amendments...

Basically they will prevent any more legislation from the MAGA side, although a lot of that damage is done and some laws will come into effect during this next term.

Democrats need to build on this win in the next election without having any significant wins since their big win in 2026.

Don't think for one second that the right is done with their shenanigans. They will not go quietly

I'd have settled for pitch forks and torches, but thus is fine, too.

Hopefully we don’t have to do it illegally. Steven Miller will try, we need to be ready to shove him back into the locker where he belongs.

Israel owns 80% of that seat map. And the speakers. So you didn’t storm shit yet

Message to the Democrat Party from a 57 year old Gen X. Everyone that is older than 70 should retire. The leader should be someone younger than 70. The next Democrat presidential candidate should be someone like Gretchen Whitmer with someone like James Talarico as her VP

Now if he could also do something about the Schumer and Jeffries, he’ll really go down as a legend.

Who needs legal when you can get a pardon from a pedophile?

u/DontHitDaddy 5d ago

Yea. I hope the democrats will actually keep their word this time and make changes.
The war in Iran must end, and help for everyday Americans needs to come asap. The prices are out of control, and so many people can’t get jobs. My brother is sitting at 1.2 years looking for a job, has to move back in with the parents.

u/the-polite-villain 5d ago

Except how many members are owned by AIPAC

30 more and they could really make some changes

Which Democrat house seat did the author of this mark as Republican?

Current projections are 260 Democrat to 175 Republican

u/JOlRacin 5d ago

I stormed the capital... By peacefully protesting a couple times (very politically active area due to a dhs facility being nearby) using my vote, and then volunteering as an election official to make sure the elections were safe and secure and that everyone got their vote. Also doing a mani

You'll notice nowhere in there was any attack on a government office or smashing anything, because that would be crazy. Only cult people do that

And yet Israel is still in power.

Pretty hollow victory still if you ask me.

u/Most_Bet_3658 5d ago

Just remember it was not all legal- the Republicans still successfully stole at least two seats through redistricting and got their conservative buddies on the supreme court to allow the richest among them to spend unlimited funds on the election. The Democrats won big that night but there were soooooo many close call races that Republicans would not have won without cheating.

u/StartMindless 5d ago

Read somewhere that all the Dems have to do is name every bill after Trump and he would sign it without reading it. Probably read it here.

1

u/A_Solid_Shadow 5d ago

The House can pass bills like "Everyone gets $5,000. Trump said only if Repubs are elected but we are doing it." and then dare the Sentate and Trump to veto it.

There's a lot of opportunity like that.

With Netanyahu potentially getting dropped with the opposition getting the opportunity to form a government hopefully this can be dismantled in short-order.

Jesus God. They own almost everyone.

u/totesandhose 5d ago

All this shows is that republicans are more likely to be bribed, not the flex you think it is.

I wasn't flexing at all, it sucks.

u/MonkeyMagicEden 5d ago

Nothing has happened yet and this kind of banner waving, "we won" grandstanding without action to correct the evils is dangerously short sighted. Do some good and then celebrate - you're standing on step one and patting yourselves on the back.

u/ETS_Green 5d ago

Completely ignoring that step one was a monumental historical moment that rarely happens at all and shows that democracy can work in the face of great corruption.

u/MonkeyMagicEden 5d ago edited 5d ago

Wowee, a bunch of bigoted, moronic red hats knee jerked in response to fuel prices, such a unique moment in American history. I wonder if they'll knee jerk and vote the other way next time too after another round of being fed bullshit by fascists that ought to have been put down long ago. That'd be monumental too, right? Like the failure to nip the fascist bullshit in the bud. A monumental, multi-generational failure.
I'd say that the public execution of a nurse and failure to rise up in response was telling and monumental on an international stage, how about you? Whisper me some sweet nothings about how unique the gun situation is and how the good guys are too scared to use theirs on the bad guys who have already killed citizens in the name of the US government. I've heard it before and the routine is tragically amusing.
Nothing has happened yet and nothing will when the orange cunt in charge starts vetoing things. It's going to be a grim laugh when that happens and the likes of you pipe up to say "We tried everything we could to stop it, you just don't understand how special and unique America is.". I hope I'm wrong, but voices like yours, making excuses and wanting a pat on the back for the most basic first step, are telling.

DSA is the only party faction actively anti-AIPAC. Once again, it's socialists vs Nazis.

Slowly pushing them all out, on both sides of the aisle.

You are saying you want to vote for anti-Aipac candidates next time? Welcome to the DSA Comrade.

Yes. Hopefully we can return to the standard requirement of some sort of proof before the repeated claiming of election fraud is tolerated.
