    The Dems are doing so little to maintain the political norms of our society that they appear to be ok with them changing. They look like they’re just trying to make sure they each individually get to keep their seat. If that’s in a sham legislature, that’s fine for them. Bribes might be legal soon, so they’re getting a sweet deal.

      The Dems have had 48 or less senators for over a decade, you might as well blame the Jackson Five for their innaction.

        Poor babies.

        Pretty sure neither the J5 or Mr Rogers actively supported genocide. You’re a silly, gross person.

          Ah look they finally got the vote manipulation bots in here to reverse all the ratios, I wonder what the delay was about?

          EDIT: To clarify, the Republican Loving Tankie bots have clearly been here.

            Of course, can’t be that people legitimately disagree with you.

            How do you think the meme got popular enough for you to see it in the first place?

                I again refer you to the votes on the original meme.

                Considering bots are faster than humans, it would imply the initial trend was bot manipulation.

                Or you could just stop blaming bots for your terrible arguments.

                  Bots are fast once given instructions. They don’t decide where to go or what to do on their own.

                    “could it be my posts are bad and that’s why they are being downvoted and removed?”

                    “No, it’s the bots who are wrong.”

        You know what, you’ve convinced me. Im gonna go grab a beer and relax. Dems have done everything that can be done. There is no point in trying to prevent a third Trump term. It was gonna happen no matter what anyway.

          If we weren’t watching a replay of the early 1930’s, it would be funny that Democratic ideologues still pretend that Dems are powerless when Donald has had the same amount of power as Biden and Obama for eight months and he’s completely remade American culture and government.

          The problem isn’t power. The problem is Dems simply don’t care as along as their personal wealth continues to increase unimpeded.

            Courts keep reversing Trump’s actions because they’re illegal, they also reversed several of Biden’s executive orders such as student loan forgiveness.

                It unfroze medicaid spending, rehired federal workers, and they’ve got the remainder of a 60 day order to shut down Alligator Auschwitz in Oct.

                Biden also accomplished a lot despite the constant court battles, I think it’s disingenuous to say the two are displaying different levels of power.

                  Oh good. No more fascism, the judge said so. Trump is known for listening to judge’s orders.

                    Courts interpret the laws, we’re in fascism because the singular fascist party is currently in charge of all the legislative branches. How are you this deep into the discussion while knowing none of this?

          If your idea of preventing a third trump term was to spread Anti-DNC Propaganda then yes, please sit this one out.

                I don’t know why you’re so offended.

                Your sternly-worded letters are just so impressive, and clearly, have been exceedingly effective. They actually inspired me to donate even more money. No joke.
