      False:

      In 2021, Democrats pushed, and in some cases passed, bills to enact sweeping drug price reforms, permanently extend Obamacare subsidies and expand Medicaid in the 12 holdout states that have refused to do so, and pour hundreds of billions into home health care for the elderly and people with disabilities and add dental, vision and hearing benefits to Medicare.

                    Democrats and Biden are losing this election right now. Its because they’ve shown themselves, repeatedly, to be incapable of governing.

                    It doesn’t matter why they suck at governing. That’s not my problem as a voter. Its their problem.

                    More broadly, your sycophantic defense of a lost position just makes it further impossible to actually improve on the Democrats as a party.

                    You’re a cheerleader, and your cheer leading of an obviously failed approach to politics and getting results just makes in more and more clear that the Democrats aren’t a party worth supporting.

                    The Mr. Pink meme as a response to Teach’s tirade puts it on display just perfectly if you know the reference.

                    Its not my fucking problem. I’m not voting to get jerked off by Democrats and their apologists in media and online, trying to convince me that up is down when they’ continuously fail, or often as much, fail to even try to get the things they campaign on into policy. I’m not voting for sound-bytes and or to be convinced an L is a W. I’m voting for results and if the Democrats can’t generate them because of how they manage their party, then they aren’t worth voting for. This is the point about the fallacy Teach is making. Teach and yourself subscribe to the fallacy of inevitable in the story of history: “that there could have been none other way”.

                    Don’t you think its funny that in-spite of basically not having a governing majority in a half decade, Republicans have some how managed to effectively make the will of their voters into the law of the land? If the Democrats can’t functionally resist Republican policy, then I have to do something else with the limited power I have, because the future is too important to be left in the hands of a party incapable of wielding power. Somehow, from a minority position, Republicans are able to govern. You should be curious as to why that is.

                    So far from the new Democratic alignment in the house we’ve gotten 26 billion for Israels genocide, a redefining of protest as antisemitism, and it looks like the Democrats ARE going to push for a draconian border bill that would give Tucker Carlson a nighttime emission if he dreamed it up himself.

                    If you are only against fascism when it comes from Republicans, are you really against fascism? If you are only against racist border policies when its a R in office, are you really against racist border policies?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
