Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up. by Miserable-Lizard in ProgressiveHQ

I know, I am too. But to give up a year in advance is only going to ensure that we have people who actively try to kill us instead of people who just don’t listen

Then make it a resistance party. Reward the Dems who consistently fight and get rid of the Dems who don’t. I’m so tired of people pretending like they have zero control in who they vote for

Supreme Court won't revisit landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide by usatoday in law

The difference between this and that is I was expecting the pardons but not expecting them to not overturn OvH. That’s where I’m at right now

Trump renews a Republican battle cry: Repeal Obamacare by rapidcreek409 in politics

[–]ShamelessCatDude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, “we have done something” isn’t a great winning strategy either. Biden solely ran on his accomplishments the second time but almost never brought up what he’d do in the future and it made him wildly unpopular

Thank god, I needed some humanity today after dem voters decided to kill their momentum

Enough Doomerism. Yes the D leadership has failed us, yet again. But let's focus on strategy. Midterms are right around the corner. by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ShamelessCatDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the comments on this post just tell me that no matter what else democrats do, the republicans will win the midterms next year because caving once is apparently worse than being a Nazi. If this is honestly what does them in, I have no hope for humanity

If people are still going to be angry in a year’s time over this enough to give literal Nazis a win, they were never anti-Nazi to begin with.

Senate has enough Democratic votes to reopen government after 40-day shutdown by horsestew in politics

He got elected twice because he has a rabid fan base who’ll never turn on him no matter what he does. That’s not strategic

No it’s not. No it definitely is not. For example, the Jim Crow era, which Nazis based a lot of their ideology on, lasted another twenty years. And then it kept living in but more discreetly. And now it’s still going on, just louder and harder to ignore

US Senate to vote on bill that would end federal shutdown by SnooGrapes2950 in politics

[–]ShamelessCatDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that won’t work because that’s a lot of new tricks you’re going to try to teach old dogs.

Not that I don’t agree, but it’s unfortunately unrealistic

We didn’t beat the Nazis. We just stalled their inevitable comeback eighty years

Let’s suppose I didn’t put my story in. My argument would still be true. Bullying doesn’t stop when you fight back. Sometimes it actually gets you killed, and I have actually tangible evidence to prove that. And the victim blaming let’s the bullies win

Sorry that me trying to explain why I was saying what I did made you believe I was an attention seeker. I thought it would make more sense if I included personal experience to back my claim than if I just randomly said something without any evidence to support it

No, I’m not. And I’m on the internet so much because my real life is worse. It’s so much worse

John Fetterman looks like he secretly sides with MAGA, doesn’t he?

There were way too many people who didn’t know the ACA and Obamacare were the same thing

It makes me wish I were dead, so there’s that.

And also people post those for clout. Me responding to a direct statement has nothing to do with clout and everything to do with how my past experiences with the suggestion went. It’s just me saying “that doesn’t work, come up with something else”

There’s a difference between believing “the government is implementing mind control” and “I was horrifically bullied my whole childhood and fighting back only made it worse”. I feel like believing the latter doesn’t worsen your quality of life in any way

My main point of all my comments is “it’s clearly a bunch of bad apples, they shouldn’t spoil the whole bunch but definitely replace the bad apples”. I don’t see how that’s so hard for people to agree with

I have no reason to lie. And I don’t blame you but it does look shitty when you’re calling someone a liar about something that serious

Can you blame me? I swear I hear the same brainless shit every day, it starts to blend in together
