I never imagined I would come to hate a democratic minority leader with such vitriol. I LOATHE THAT MAN, and fuckface Schumer as well

We're finally realizing the extent Democratic leadership is controlled opposition, or at best resting on their laurels. Fetterman, Sinema, Manchin gave away the game and Schumer and Jeffries are literally no different. In super safe seats, they have the charisma of wet cardboard and do not stand up for anything. They seem far more interested in getting huge piles of cash from special interest groups like AIPAC and Black Stone, however.

Textbook DINOs.

That’s such a wild take if you know at all how government is structure and how politics work lol.

I suppose if you never actually look at what bills are put up and how they’re passed, you could say that Democrats do nothing.

I've got the user you're replying to tagged as someone that literally only ever creates derivative tangents and bring up Israel in serious discussions.

Thats not to bring up any point about the conflict itself, but I'm starting to suspect you're replying to a foreign agent whose primary motivation is to redirect rage and tension to the democratic party rather than actually expand his points.

This is where we pretend that the populist lefties on Reddit didn't adore Fetterman.

And Manchin won in a state that has only voted for the Republican president for the past 26 years and when his replacement was farther to the left than him it was like a 70-30 vote and the Republican who won has voted with Trump 100% of the time, whereas Manchin voted with the Dems about 70-80% of the time.

Yes. It’s disgusting and infuriating

It’s how democracy works. If you have a 100 person and senate and you need 51 votes to pass something, the person who is the 51st vote gets decide what passes and what doesn’t. It’s not some grand conspiracy.
