These garbage ratio posts that continue to blame the working class for a failing duopoly political system that has been taken hostage by a plutocracy, and has clearly divorced itself from the needs and desires of the governed populace do nothing more than confirm that Lemmy is now rife with bots and state actors.
One of the parties platform outlined an escape from plutocracy so yes absolutely 100% the blame is on voters of all class. We should have supported the policies we claim to want, we should have backed the dems.
That they had no intention of following.
They continuously call it to vote and Republicans continuously block it. We should make it a real money where their mouth is situation and convince a few Republicans to pass it or just give Dems 60 seats. Let’s test your theory.
We gave them a large enough majority. They preferred having the filibuster to having credibility.
No, we actually didn’t. Over a decade ago we gave them only 58 votes for only 72 days and we’ve given them less every election since.
Caucusing Independents gave them supermajority at that time but they still failed the singlepayer vote by 1 Indie and thats why we only got Medicaid Expansion (which republicans have illegally frozen funding for).
No, we fucking did and I’m beyond sick of hearing excuses.
It would take 50 votes to change the senate rules and get rid of the filibuster. Democrats preferred the filibuster to all the shit they let die to preserve it.
That might have made sense in 2013 but we’ve had less than 50 dems every congress since then so you’re just handing the keys to the Republicans. That sort of foresight is exactly why nobody has done it.
A better solution is to just give Dems 60.
What are you afraid of?! You really think Republicans better represent you?
We had 50 from 2020-2022. We gave them the seats. They squandered their majority. Because that’s what Democrats do.
We did that in 2008. They found enough no votes. They always do.
I think they better represent you.
Everyone who disagrees with me is a bot! My opinion is infallible!
Everyone wants to talk about the power of the working class until the criticism pops up.
What criticism bro? That they actually stood up for smth they believed in? The reality is that Palestine was suffering, Palestine is suffering and Palestine will suffer. The only way to stop this suffering, is a third party in US who actually cares about human life.
And since that isn’t present, the short term solution was to mitigate damage. Instead, the damage has been accelerated.

Millions failed, not the handful in positions of leadership who have actual power, and whose job it is to earn enough votes to win elections?
The hallowed Democrat Party leaders, whose positions in the Party are nothing less than the manifestation of Divine Will, are but the infallible vehicles of the word of Our Lord, and their decisions are not to be questioned by lowly plebes who need only know their place and get in line behind them.
