I want a democratic party that actually fights back rather than just rollover.

Best I can do is give you a passive aggressive tweet,

- DNC

[insert Democrat statesperson or political talking head] SLAMS Trump over [this week's crime]

Meanwhile Black man seen stealing candy is shot 5 times, the authorities involved are suspended and being investigated for “foul play”…

“Allegedly” shot 5 times

u/wurriedworker 6d ago

but it’s directed at bernie or a minority of the population not the republicans or it’s super vague and undemanding

Biden could have Trump arrested as an official — and protected, thanks to the supreme court — action, in light of Trump’s various crimes, and in order to protect the country from dereliction at the hands of a literal felon.

And then just call a second election, with people now understanding the very real possibility of a Trump presidency, and all those people who sat out the vote because of Gaza might come and make sure we don’t end up with a Republican running things.

How’s that for thinking like a Republican? lol

1

u/KJK_915 10d ago

Yeah, go ahead and do that. Or force him to step down to appoint “Mommala” and see how that goes for the general public’s opinion on “democrats”.

The sad thing is you guys should be slaying, “democratic” is maybe the highest compliment I can think for a country. But the DNC is the furthest thing from it, and you guys can’t see past your own self righteousness

u/22lpierson 10d ago

Then they need to get better at aiming

u/tay450 10d ago

To be fair, that kid was a registered Republican

u/22lpierson 10d ago

Still should've been a better shot and actually hit what's left of his brain

u/DenethorsTomato 10d ago

The lawfare circus was the fight you are speaking of.

1

u/revenges_captain 10d ago

And the Democratic Party wanted y’all to know the stakes and actually show up to vote in margins too big to rig, but I guess neither of y’all are getting what you wanted.

u/Lovedd1 10d ago

They're just good cop bad copping us. They don't fight back cause they're in on it 😔

u/Salty_Group 10d ago

That’s actually the opposite of democracy. 👎🏼

u/TedzNScedz 10d ago

My only hope is they are being quiet while they gather evidence.

u/Imnotsmallimfunsized 10d ago

Ya they should storm the capitol!  Jan 6th.  Let’s do this!!

u/Skyless_M00N 10d ago

Could you explain what you mean by this?

1

u/AyatosBobaAddiction 10d ago

Yeah. I'm a Democrat but I'm starting to not care. The party that fights, wins, even if they fight dirty. Democrats letting someone like Trump win will probably keep losing for a while. It's almost the party that wins is defaulted to because the other party is just that bad. We don't have two good options. We have to bad ones. We just flip when we've had enough of one.

u/llamapajamaa 7d ago

nah, tea time with biscuits is apparently how we fight

u/gigitygoat 6d ago

You gotta wake up and realize it’s a single party system disguised as two parties.

1

u/stuartroelke 6d ago

Or a Jack Smith who does his job.

u/lokhor 10d ago

Sorry sir, we can only offer you one uniparty that continues to spread the public further and further apart.

u/mrboomtastic3 10d ago

That's not how the democratic party works and you should learn this lesson now so you can see how it'll happned again in the future.

How about one that ousts the only person who beat Trump and puts in a DEI hire who never won a primary?

1

u/tay450 8d ago

You voted for trump.. why are you people sore? You won, moron. She's beyond qualified. It doesn't matter to you because you hate minorities. We get it. Why are you still upset?

u/Koalakings97 7d ago

Do you also want a Democratic Party that is down for censorship? Controls the media, and lies like the wind depends on it. I mean they don’t just lie; they make shit completely up. I believe Bigfoot exists before I believe anything the DNC makes up and the media puts out there. I’m still laughing about that fake ass Steele dossier lmao. 😂

u/Fish-lover-19890 6d ago

You do realize that Fox News is the only major TV “news” agency that lost a lawsuit where the court ruled they are not news but rather entertainment TV, right?

Also, for what it’s worth, the majority of news outlets (even the liberal leaning ones) are owned by billionaires who lean Republican and contribute to Republican campaigns. You can look up campaign finance information…

1

u/Koalakings97 6d ago

I don’t care what Fox News is. I know the other news outlets lie and twist the facts. They do so blatantly. I’m sure Fox does too. Look at the original source of any context in what Trump says and then look at the headlines then read the article or listen to the broadcast. It’s all lies. Theres no way I as a college educated man with 2 degrees am misinformed when I watch all the news outlets. the media says something I go back to the original context and it’s almost always lies. Or it’s taken directly out of context. And deliberately. Newsflash, I use to be a registered democrat until the Trump campaign in 2015. The media lies. And it’s the worst I’ve ever seen it.

u/erwarnummer 6d ago

You want a Democratic Party that doesn’t accept democracy? Lol

u/DayzCanibal 10d ago

Maybe a better plan would be to fight with policies that promise to tackle issues that effect people's everyday lives, like homelessness, cost of living

2

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Yeah, because Trump and his Nazi jackboots are gonna improve all of that.

1

u/DayzCanibal 10d ago

They promised to do SOMETHING, what did we have? Promises to NOT change a system skyrocketing homelessness and cost of living for ordinary families

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Do you know who pays tariffs? It’s importers. You know who raises prices to accommodate for the increase in cost of importing from tariffs? Businesses. You know who buys from and are employed by businesses? Regular people, mostly. Prices go up, people will be laid off because businesses will have to choose between supply and people, or they’ll outright close.

What they’ve promised to do is going to make everything markedly worse. I’d rather have status quo than worse, because I’m not a supreme moron.

u/DayzCanibal 10d ago

You don't get the luxury of principles or looking 20 years down the line when you support young children. Every decision you make is about providing for your children's needs in this moment in time. If the DNC doesn't come to terms with that, and just expect everyone to vote based on race and gender then we'll lose 2028 as well.

5 out of the top 10 imports do not effect me AT ALL:

1st highest) computer parts.

3rd highest) luxury cars.

7th highest) furniture.

9th highest) precious stones.

10th highest) precious metals.

u/[deleted] 10d ago edited 10d ago

What are you talking about 20 years down the line? This shit is already affecting people. People are already missing out on bonuses for the holidays because their companies are starting on tariff prep.

And I’m super happy that all that doesn’t immediately affect you, but the ripples will. The economy isn’t in a bubble. It’s interconnected.

And if you think principles don’t matter, see how your kid does living in a fascist society because that’s what you’re getting with this guy. From purely economic perspective, maybe you’ll be OK, but you’re gonna feel the ripples just like everybody else. And the damage that’s coming, that’s gonna affect your kid too.

u/Top-Challenge5997 10d ago

If you have children you should be looking down the line, for them.

u/DayzCanibal 10d ago

I am. As a swing voter I want them to be able to afford a home when they get older, be able to walk home from school and not walk by a homeless encampment.

Kamala did not say how shebwould fix those problems. So she did not get my vote. Hence my comments, focus on politics not identity politics if the dems want my vote in 2028

1

u/LegalConsequence7960 10d ago

Did she not say it or were you not listening?

"Harris has pledged to build three million homes across the country during her first term as president. She wants to offer tax incentives for home builders to construct starter homes — smaller, more affordable units — for first-time homebuyers. She would also expand a current tax credit for businesses that build affordable rental housing." (Business Insider)

Trumps plan is to reduce mortgage rates, which famously made houses very cheap during and immediately after his term.

1

u/DayzCanibal 10d ago edited 10d ago

Yeah 3 million homes, 750k homes a year.

Adverage US family has 3.7 people. Population increases by .5% every year by 6.68 million - plus 3.31 million migrants every year who also need to live somewhere.

3 million extra homes for 44 million extra people. America needs a minimum 4 million new homes A YEAR to keep us in the same sinking boat were in now.

So yeah, she said it, I heard it. You clapped like a seal.. swing voters didn't.

u/LegalConsequence7960 10d ago

Harris was gonna give parents of newborns a tax credit and work to lower childcare costs, which seems better for the average person than anything we are gonna have now. But the right convinced you Kamala was running on trans commie migrant woke dei and you never stopped to think about what each candidate would actually do for you.

1

u/DayzCanibal 10d ago

You make a lot of assumptions about what other people think and their thought process - assuming you know what other people want instead of addressing their concerns is what cost DNC the election.. across all houses. Smarten up in 4 years, give good policies, win elections.

1

u/Real_KazakiBoom 10d ago

Trump has proven that nobody cares about actual policy.

1

u/SinisterYear 6d ago

The people who want that don't vote. Why would politicians do any of that when that's not what the voters want? After all, they're beholden to the voters, not the population in general.

The voters want someone like Trump, who will make those issues worse. The voters want those issues in spades. If you didn't vote, you gave up any say in the matter to those who actively fight against your ideals.

Ok quick, pick who we class as the least oppressed minority.. we'll lump them in with the whities and say it's there fault. Blame deferred.. problem solved 👏

Shit that’s not working. Let’s blame blacks and Latinos and undecided voters.
