        The trouble is that Democrats aren’t a monolith like Russian trolls like OP imply. I’m sure many will, but others will not. All the same, I am optimistic that the good ones can work with or around the bad ones

          I’ve been a registered Democrat since I turned 18 in 2019. I do think a lot of the issues in the party are self inflicted, but they’re certainly the best option for the US.

      How many democratic governments were there since the Epstein files were first publically mentioned?

      How many of them did the slightest thing to release said files?

      They will never release them, because there’s just as many Democrats in the files as Republicans.

        I suspect there’s more Republicans in there overall, but I also suspect there’s enough Democrats in there to still make release unpalatable for those at the top.

      Yeah! That’s totaly unfair to base a prediction on a long held pattern uninterrupted for decades. Thia time could be different.

        The Dems are obviously compromised from within. They have to clean up internally to stop from being a captured opposition.

        To pretend anything else is happening is to support the status quo.

            As non-sequitor as can be expected. If you had anything intelligent to say, that was the time.

            What is Schumer’s job again?

            Edit: Why is Hegseth not being impeached? Traffic? An appointment? Everyone is working very hard at their jobs, not everyone is being honest about what those jobs are or who they work for.

              I’m on your side. It bothers me how many down votes you got.

              It’s okay to be critical of the party. How else is it going to get better if we don’t raise our expectations. The party isn’t unified. There are corporatists and progressives fighting for the soul of the party.

              There are corp Dems are still captured by Aipac money which is why the Hegseth impeachment vote failed. Those Dems were getting awards from an Aipac affiliate and blamed traffic for not making it time to make the vote. What a joke.

              I’m for the progressives. They campaigned without large donations and most of them even had the Democrats fighting against them all the way to the end (I’m looking at you Hailey Stevens). They have the support of the people that elected them, now they just have to deliver. Even if they fail, if they’re honest and are transparent about the barriers to progress and inform the electorate as they go, they’ll maintain their support.

      It feels like the political discourse has deteriorated to a point where people are just making up predictions just so they can go “see, i was right 6 months ago!!”. Like as if there is a competition on who can predict the future the best

          Yes, this. Psychologically, cynicism is the easy way. Predicting the worst means you either a) get a positive surprise or b) knew all along. Cynicism is also in large parts why this timeline looks so bleak.

    Interesting it picked two things controlled by the executive branch; the one that is still maga.
