You really can’t fathom that treating young people with respect and listening to their concerns will keep them from falling for lies in the first place?
I guess courting anyone but decrepit old racist boomers is completely foreign to centrists, and it explains every last one of their policies.
And meanwhile, the message they get from Democrats is “fuck off you don’t vote.” Who are then surprised when they fuck off.
“We’re not going to listen to you because you don’t vote.”
“Wait! Why are you voting for someone we don’t like?”
“What do you mean, ‘we should have listened’? We didn’t listen because you don’t vote!”
Centrists are happy to have a cudgel to use against progressives, even if it means they have to support genocide to wield it.
Isn’t this just Reagan’s “Star Wars” program under a different name?
I mean, it is unexpected. Usually they want to change nothing when it doesn’t fit their agenda.
I’ll admit I’m wrong when it happens.
So I won’t have occasion to.
Like hell they will. Democrats won’t kill the thing that lets them call obstruction “incrementalism.”
Colin Powell died in 2021. What does he have to do with the contradictory reports you made up to claim that Blinken saw?
just giving you facts.
“They had contradictory reports” isn’t facts, it’s fanfic.
Boomer centrists know what a search engine is, but since Chappell Roan didn’t endorse, and voting isn’t good enough, so they’re like “Who? I never heard of her! She must not be very important if she doesn’t agree with me 100% on my terms!”
Centrists can’t imagine people being frustrated with their decades of obstruction and sliding to the right.
So people should just vote and stfu about any nuance within a party they disagree with?
Of course not. That’s helping Trump win. You have to overwhelmingly support everything the party does at all times, especially the stuff you disagree with.
Biden got tired of pretending to wag his finger.
No willingness to stand up for progressives, regardless of who is on their side.
That’s funny. The Democratic Party standing up for a progressive.
I’m in favor of the filibuster, but the original version.
I’d settle for that, but I’m going to continue to push for the complete and permanent eradication of the filibuster. I see no reason to pre-negotiate.
Eh, as long as Netanyahu (or any foreign government) isn’t instructing them directly on how the funds should be spent it’s perfectly legal.
And it’s really difficult to prove such a thing, and there’s virtually no interest in pursuing it.
Otherwise any lobby group is allowed to lobby on behalf of any interest, including an ally nation
And I consider that to be foreign interference in US elections. Of course it’s legal. Lots of shitty things are legal.
You’re welcome to start your own lobby group, Ensign.
And we’re back to “just start your own group to interfere with elections!” I want less interference, not more.
And whoever takes his place will be a Republican.
His seat, or his function? Because his seat will be occupied by a Republican. We’ll have to see who will come to occupy his function of convenient turncoat obstructionist. Because that person will be a Democrat.
And just like that, centrists have to pretend that they never liked the filibuster.
I mean, if they want young people to vote for them, yeah. Of course, given their actions they don’t want young people to vote for them.
I mean, that’s great if your only objective is to move to the right. And in centrists’ case, it is.
