Fire Schumer and show us you're serious then. Until leadership steps down there's absolutely no reason to think they're anything but fucking losers.
-
Ah, so they're going to go with the ol' "At least we're not Republicans" strategy. How about better wages? Medicare for all? Fucking stand for something, anything! I guess they do though: continued wars, wall street and neoliberalism.
-
They made it pretty clear after losing to Donald Trump that they wanted to double down on this strategy. They will rather lose than run on a progressive platform.
-
That's because the current "old guard" Democrats/DNC are the boomers who've been in power since the 80's, destruction of the working class, and regulatory capture of the entire party.
They are a manufactured opposition, owned by the oligarchy and corporations, who do not represent anything material to the 99%.

I don’t want democrats anymore. There, I said it.
Seriously, you’re not enough for this old liberal man. I want a safety social net that also protects our lives and every generation to come. I want FREE (paid by taxes) healthcare, education and a working wage with 30 hour weeks. Tax anyone 99% that makes more that 10mil a year. Promote business who have a human benefit purpose. Tax churches that we can prove promote hate, tax corporations that only care about profit… tax items not made to last or be recycled…
Is time my liberal friends, it’s time we write our own project HUMAN playbook.

Dems don’t know how to win a bit without first losing a lot.
-
And moving to the right!

It's funny what you can lose when you're not betting your own resources.

... and Schumer's gonna wag his finger really hard

Attack template:
"This guy/woman, Rep. [insert Repuglican name here], wants you to die!
Rep. [insert Repuglican name here] voted for you to die, in pain, with no medication!
Voting for Rep. [insert Repuglican name here] is a vote for you to die in pain!
Rep. [insert Repuglican name here] wants to kill you!
You will die in pain and it will be because of Rep. [insert Repuglican name here]!"
You're welcome.

So, they think it's in their best interest to let the cuts pass?
-
Will they actually try to run on a healthcare platform?
-
Narrator: No, no they won't.
-
-
We don't need democrat, we need a third party. Both of the parties are ping-ponging us for decades.
-
They could run on their own ideas, but they spent the past 4 years (at least) throwing away their credibility.

Dear US Democrats, can you please stop being just a fucking brake for the Republican party, and actually turn the wheel when you have the power?
Only using the brake will just mean that Republican policies will win even if it takes a bit of time.
The last time Democrats had the same majority that Republicans have now was the 111th Congress. It was considered the most productive Congress since the 89th Congress, which was also controlled by Democrats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/111th_United_States_Congress
The brief period they had majority in the 117th Congress, it was a weak majority and there were DINOs like Manchin preventing progress.
The peak for the middle-class was mid-20th century, when Democrats had the longest running control of Congress.
I know people who make excuses for democrats' resounding successes at working with republicans to block legislation don't like hearing this, but the voters did their fucking part. We gave your garbage quisling party a majority and they did what they always intended to do with it.
