This article headline claims the opposite of what it sources state:

"I think we're going to all be 'no' on cloture unless we get an agreement to propose at least this 30-day clean continuing resolution] amendment and maybe a couple of others," Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia told reporters Thursday morning. "So we'll be 'no' on cloture unless we get an agreement to do that. I'm not aware of whether the Republicans have agreed to that yet, but we'll be 'no' on cloture if we don't get it, and I think that's a unified position."

"There's basically one path to keep the government from shutting down and one door to unlock, and Democrats have the keys," he said. Thune filed cloture on the House-passed measure Thursday night, setting up a Friday vote.

“This never would have happened if you voted for Harris or Gencide Joe”

Except dems have been winning without leftists. Dems have also lost because of leftists like in 2024.

That is how leftists ratchet governments to the right. By losing elections for themselves and anyone that parties with them. Then attacking the dems that gave them a chance.

So dems cater to actual voters that show up and vote and have nuanced, diverse ideologies in the middle of the spectrum.

Instead of working with leftists that screech “genocide Joe” until Trump gets elected.

This is what’s wrong with leftists. They never win any elections because they don’t understand the importance of voting.

Dems lose by 2 million votes in 2024 because of leftists getting tricked into not voting over Gaza.

Leftists respond by acting like it’s some big defeat and dems need to start taking campaign advice from leftists that cannot win elections.

On the other hand Trump loses by 3x as many votes in 2020 and comes back to win the next election by doubling down on his strategy.

If Trump had leftists trying to tell him how to campaign he would’ve lost in 2016 and 2024.

If recession happens without democrats shutting down the government then republicans can’t use that as a scapegoat and more people blame republicans for the recession.

Government shutdowns make the people that cause them unpopular with voters.

It’s a vote. You can’t win a vote with feelings or vibes or a “can do attitude”.

It requires votes.

They can vote. If they do not have enough dems to vote they have to reach across the aisle to get votes from conservatives.

Conservatives will not help without getting something in return.

What you’re saying is dems should give conservatives concessions which will then be used as a talking point to blame dems more.

That’s what “fighting” means in this context.

Blaming dems for not doing something they can’t do is not the same as what you’re describing.

The average voter won’t know that. They will see the upcoming recession and they will be told it was caused by Biden and dems government shutdown so that is what they will believe.

And the GOP will have a scapegoat for their recession and be able to continue crashing the economy without getting any blame.

Dems never had the super majority to abolish the electoral college, gerrymandering or the other things you mentioned.

Democrats have won the majority of presidential elections since the 90s…

Unfortunately, the GOP has enemy nations helping them with their campaigns/propaganda.

A literal fascist is dismantling the US government right now to make himself king.

This is happening because there was enough criticism for the alternative to get Trump elected.

There was enough criticism of democrats to get Trump and his cronies into office twice and now there may be no more elections.

There are no criticisms that are worth getting Trump elected.

Every little nitpick is just anther talking point to be amplified by foreign bots and GOP propaganda.

They aren’t warning us. Trying reading more than the headline.

As a party, democrats have voted against all of Trumps cabinet picks.

Blaming “Senate Democrats” for the votes of outliers like Fetterman who vote against party lines is disingenuous.

The article is about Trump ignoring the law. How do they change that by doing the things you listed?

The dems criticizing republicans aren’t their voter base. The republican voter base doesn’t criticize republicans.

Why does that need to be explained to you?

There was so much criticism of anti-fascists that actual authoritarian fascists won the election.

Criticism isn’t just criticism. It is used by bots and propaganda to discourage voting for anti-fascists.

The complaint is that there is a power grab that democrats aren’t stopping because they can’t. They don’t have enough votes.

If that power grab happens tomorrow instead of today then the complaint happens tomorrow instead of today.

This is common sense. I’m not sure why it needs to be explained to you.
