Let’s go TACO, let’s go!!!
Update: Yes, the Dems have been pretty much useless but they can’t do anything when they have no majority in either the House or Senate and Don TACO is ruling by EOs.
But this is how you get him and them. Fuck the high road, hit them at their level. Call them names like weirdos and TACO. If anything induce strokes in all of them.
I get where you’re coming from, but are you actively attacking the government right now? Or just bitching about how other people aren’t doing enough?
Yeah, how dare he expect the Democratic National Committee to do something meaningful.
They’ve had all their power removed through a vote. They now can
That’s it. Right now they’re doing both.
This is what always annoys me about ppl going " wHy ArEnT dEmS DoInG MoRe?!?" They are but it has to be as non-violent as possible until they can flip seats and take back the house. We are dealing with an ego maniac who wants ANY reason to pass martial law. What do they expect dems to do? Start shooting ppl? Or storm the capital? They aren’t taking that bait, so Republicans can go “SeE?! bOtH sIDes…blah blah blah” 😑 There will be a time after tRump and he will go down in history as the dumb ass, rapist, fascist he is.
How about start by voting down all of Trump’s cabinet members and every Republican bill when they had the chance instead of constantly trying to meet halfway with fascists? How about Democratic judges deputising people to act as enforcement for the judicial branch when the Republicans keep ignoring court orders? How about playing all of the Republican’s dirty games to get policy through? How about refusing to take any corporate or billionaire money and run primaries against anyone who does?
On this we agree, if one half isn’t playing by the rules anymore why should the other? These are the proper means to get shit done that don’t involve violence.
What exactly can they do currently?
Maybe, like, one pro-worker policy? And maybe, like, one anti-genocide policy? That would win over a lot of people.
So you want them to do what will boil down to performative things, that will have absolutely no effect on anything?
You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth here. You want them to do something non performative… like performative things?
What they are doing right now is performative things that will have absolutely no effect on anything. They’re already doing it, and you’re defending it.
Have a list of promises to get people to elect you and an acknowledgement that you should have done it last time you were in power. If I saw them connecting not doing what people who voted in 2020, and not even stopping the Republicans to their 2024 performance, I might have have some faith. But no, all they can do is blame messaging and voters.
The point is they can’t even do performative politics because they are so uselessly bought and sold. It’s pathetic, really.
<.< The original commenter was (essentially) complaining that they were only doing something performative.
I was actually just making a joke that I found funny. That was all.
I think those who are part of the government have a greater chance of effecting change.
Moreover, I live in a red state (currently), and although our TST congregation is small, we do quite a bit.
Why not both?
