      Grassroots organizations aren’t giving them giant slush funds of cash for their election campaigns or offering them 6 or 7 figure salary jobs after they leave office so what good are they?

        Dems are done. I don’t think even current fascist takeover is enough for them to get back the voters on their side until these complicit ghouls are in positions of power.

            If y’all can do this without too many people dying I think we’ll be able to say that all of North America came out of Trump 2 winning, which would be… unexpected, to say the least.

          Dems are done.

          So you have surrendered to Fascism. The rest of us will continue the war against the Fascists and bootlickers and never surrender ever.

            That’s literally the opposite of what Democratic party leaders are doing

              I’m not talking about “Democratic party leaders”. I’m talking about “Dems”. i.e. Democrats. Fuck Jeff Jeffries and everyone else who is getting in our way.

            Read the full comment. Current Democratic leaders have embrassed the fascism. If you want to fight, you need to get rid of them first.

              Okay I read the full comment. It said the GOP is in the midst of a fascist takeover. It doesn’t say anything about Dems “embracing fascism”. And such an assertion would not be correct.

              If you want to fight, you need to get rid of them first.

              I’ve no problem at all getting rid of Jeffries and the other House leaders. That would be a great first step. They would hopefully replaced by more progressive Dems. It would not mean that “Dems” are “done” and we all surrender to the GOP’s fascist takeover.
