  • Well we definitely disagree on what obstruction means. I could list countless successful obstructions the Republicans did to Obama. The supreme court pick being the massive one.

    What successful obstruction have the Democrats been able to pull off? Because all I’ve seen have been a couple government shutdowns that they eventually gave up on. Some unsuccessful (and questionably successful) redistricting measures at the state level? What have the federal government representatives in the Democratic party actually been successful in obstructing?

    Because, so far, it’s been judges and states doing their best to delay while DC seems to be happy with “setting records for longest filibuster” or writing letters that do nothing.

    I could count on my fingers the number of Democrats in DC actually making any effort. And they’re all the ones connected to DSA and it’s momentum.

    Don’t defend the entire party because AoC and company are in it. Criticize them for sitting on their asses while taking AIPAC donations.


  • I think your definition of doing something and mine are different.

    “But they don’t have enough votes” is the next excuse.

    Well, we’re literally seeing the entire democratic party worried about their party becoming too popular as DSA members drop record wins and draw massive popular support. They seem to all be very concerned about the do nothing party actually electing people that want to DO SOMETHING.

    I’m critical of the Democrats because another “strongly worded letter” has deluded people like you into thinking that “pointing” to the problem will solve it.

    It’s ok. You and I both want the same thing I’m sure. But please don’t make excuses for these Democrats in office trying to show some small backbone as the DSA just beat a 30 year incumbent with a 29 year old socialist famous for saying “Fuck Kamala Harris”.

    We’re winning. You can come along for the ride. We’re really nice, have snacks, and we’re fighting for healthcare and an end to funding genocide.
