    Let’s get to that point and at the same time run candidates to prevent it happening again.

    “Oh my God he’s bleeding out! We have to stop the bleeding”

    “Yeah I’ve seen this before, he’s just going to start bleeding again. Do you want Arby’s?”

    Let’s fix problems, take incremental wins where available, and not be morons about it.

      It’s like people think democrats become kings when they get into office. Literally half the country is sub 100 iq, is moderately/extremely racist, and keeps voting in room temperature iq Republicans into the senate. About 1/3rd of the country voted for Trump AFTER we knew he was a felon and tried to steal the election.

        This excuse stops working now that the republicans have made it clear that the party in order absolutely has the ability to make sweeping changes if they choose to.

        Weird how the republicans never seem to let the parliamentarian or 1 vote or the SCOTUS or whatever stop them.

          They have the majority in literally everything and they still have failed to pass so many bills because they are that incompetent.

          The Republicans are doing the equivalent of giving themselves money in a monopoly game and saying “hey there’s no rule that says I CAN’T do that, is there?” Like when they sat on their hands rather than voting on Obama’s scotus pick for months. I don’t know what you do about that other than matching the egregious actions, and it seems dems are still trying to play inside the rules which I agree is a losing strategy.

          That’s one thing I’m really aligned with the DSA on, democrats need to break the rules too or have extremely harsh punishments for it once they’re in power, so Republicans know to cut it out or they’re either out of office or in jail.
