Harris-Walz / Dems

Exactly. The focus should be "Trump Stacks Cabinet with Sex Offenders and Reality TV Stars", not 'random congresswoman not allowed in the shitter'.

Do people really care about his cabinet picks? Weren't they just as bad last time? Didn't most of them get arrested and/or quit?

Senate showdown: GOP secures deal with Schumer to save coveted appellate judges for Trump

Senate Democrats and Republicans struck a midnight deal that would secure four crucial appellate court judge nominations for President-elect Trump.

spineless and worthless; the entire ******* party is.

 

[The Predaking]

You mean the people that play softball together aren't really looking after the small guys?

 

[Wheelimus]

If you bothered to read the article you're sharing you would know that they traded 4 judges that they didn't have the votes on anyway for 9 judges that they do have the votes to pass but Republicans were using procedural mayhem to slow down. AKA this is a good thing.

What do you want Democrats to do Paladin, they just lost the election and the popular vote. Trump has the mandate right now. It's time to let him hug things up and turn popular opinion back against him. Then in 2026 we can take the House back and at least make a dent in their Senate majority.

Unfortunately if it's too obvious that the Democrats are letting Trump screw things up on purpose, voters are going to get pissed off and not turn out for them. They've been boxed into a situation where no matter what they do, it could screw them over.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Quite frankly: it seems like no matter what democrats do, it screws them over. I mean: voters didn't turn out to protest how biden and harris were handling the war in gaza... and in the process literally gave the choice to a guy who would literally nuke gaza. That's a very special kind of stupid right ******* there.

Dems Choose 74-Year-Old Gerry Connolly Over AOC for Key Committee Role

House Democrats voted to recommend Rep. Gerry Connolly for the party’s top spot on the House Oversight Committee over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

to date the Democrat Party has fought harder to stop Alexandria Ocasio Cortez than fascism.

 

[Fullstrength Motleypuss]

Gee, more old people in charge. Sounds like a winning strategy for 2028!

 

[Rhinox]

*sigh

Hardly a surprise, yet I remain disappointed. I really do think that a great many of our problems would be solved or a nonissue had this Boomer generation died off earlier.

 

[Ungnome]

Real issue isn't age, it's that AOC is a progressive, Connolly is a neoliberal. The neoliberals still control the Democratic party. People(especially the right wing media) like to say they are the same, but they really aren't.

The ‘good’ thing about the US Democratic party from a British perspective is that in theory it’s a broad front party, with liberals and social democrats and centrists and general progressives under one roof, rather than having half-dozen or more non-conservative parties splitting votes.

Of course, in practice the most right-wing element of that broad party is always in charge, with anything weakly progressive seemingly neutralised. (Yes, I also accept that the US Democrats are still more progressive on issues like immigration and LGBTQ rights than the UK Labour Party currently is.)
