      I mean really they don’t, I’m pretty sure 180 just voted against the impeachment of Trump. Literally just waiting to see which shill geriatric they’ll put up for 2028 and pull the same “vote for us or suffer Republicans” bs for the next election.

      I keep saying that if progressives in the DNC are being constantly blocked and cheated out of power, they need to split off and make their own party. They’re afraid that if they do, they’ll lose a majority against Republicans, but that’s already true because even bargain basement protection laws barely pass when the Dems do have a majority in congress, and they actively support bs Republican bills when a minority like right now.

      Splitting would render the DNC useless and simultaneously tap into the huge block of nonvoters that would turnout like how Mamdani’s voter base was largely a grassroots campaign.

      Oh I agree completely. Just to clarify: The DNC absolutely will not get it or care. This is what I was describing as more “apparant” now.

        Agreed. And why we need a new party. Organize and take back control of our country

        I like this analogy.

        The Democrats are playing the game.

        The Republicans are playing the rules of the game.

        It’s funny. A lot on the right say the same thing about their representatives. They even call them RINOs (republican in name only). Funny how when republicans take control the spending goes up anyway.

        It’s almost like either party doesn’t actually do what they say they do and have an entirely different agenda. It would be interesting to see on what issues congressional dems and republicans agree on that the public disagrees with them on. That might tell us what the actual agenda is.
