And let's be honest, Biden had to be dragged to that.
I'm not the one making things up. I advocated for arresting Trump for his clear crimes, and you claimed I advocated for dictatorial, secret powers.
Granted, though in the most deferential way possible.
OK, now you're just being a lying troll.
The mixed messages sent by Harris has everything to do with what swing voters heard.
And you can't blame the media for the words coming out of Kamala's mouth.
Correct, but she didn't say it in a way that swing voters will hear. You don't run buddy buddy with Liz Cheney while saying Republicans are bad. It's mixed messaging.
No, we don't get a fair hearing. But our leaders also have shitty messaging and shitty priorities.
Would arresting and prosecuting Trump for his crimes have been acting like a dictator? Or just actually using their constitutional powers?
I don't want a dictator but I do want a Dem President who fights instead of making endless excuses of why they can't do things they claim they support.
The fact is that modern Dem Presidents have refused to use powers that they constitutionally have. They have not been honest about what actions they could have taken, but chose not to. That's the point.
Starting to get it! The "rules" said they were to treat Trump with utmost respect. They chose that path. That was a piss poor reading of the room, a complete lack of understanding of the threat, and a dereliction of duty. And they should be humiliated by it, not endlessly excused.
There were plenty of constitutional actions to be had. Dem leaders just didn't want to actually do it. They didn't even arrest the guy for TS papers kept in the bathroom! Since when is it extraconstitutional to make an arrest with clear probable cause?! They were weak.
Where it leaves us the question of will our Dem leaders, if given power again, again refuse to use it. Will they continue the lie that they just can't take action without something something more that will never be achieved. You are signaling that that's exactly what they intend to do.
Partly. But the Dems signaled that it was all just political games by not pounding the table and being ruthless like Rs are. The voters respond to what leaders are signaling by how they say things more than 100 page essays.
We DO have an answer. Look at what Trump has done in one year. Biden absolutely had the power to get things done, he just didn't do it. He tied his own hands behind his back. We will NOT accept this bullshit that we need 60 Senate votes or SC approval. Wake up, Trump proved that's a lie!
I fail to see why it matters if Dems take the Senate. It's not like a bare bones majority would withhold funding or stop noms. Take the House to enable govt resistance and some measure of a fair 2028 election. The only thing that can fix this is a Dem Prez that will use power.
The only one I see virtue signaling here is you. "We just can't make UHC happen'. Pure horseshit. At least give a plan to let states try it, a 100 year plan for the US if you feel you can't do it sooner. Just writing it off and blaming politics is just centrist virtue signaling.
Lol, is this tweet more than a year old? Have you completely and totally missed how Trump has shown how much is actually possible when you have a Party that actually wants to do it? We aren't taking the "we just can't politically do it" BS anymore. Yall just don't want to.
The framing of the problem misses the forest for the trees. Good candidates are authentic. Politics is secondary. And Dem centrists have a huge authenticity problem because their positions are garbage and self defeating. You don't defeat Repubs by giving credence to them.
You start by assuming that democracy works. That if it's the better policy, if we advocate for it long enough then we can implement it. If there's structural blocks in our democracy to democracy, then address those blocks.
The progressive wing of the Party developed a tremendous reform plan. It got watered down by the centrists and sellouts in the Party, into the ACA. Including killing the public option, a key check on ins. Maybe you should be asking the centrists if they are happy with the changes they forced?
You don't think M4A, that would eliminate a huge source of issues in the insurance market (uninsurable Olds that aren't on Medicare yet), would do anything to improve things at all?
What about a public option?
"What if we don't have to hire labor anymore?" Every corporate executive's wet dream. Yeah, there's profit in that....until you ask, who the hell is going to buy your product if no one has a job? Where's the profit in an ultra low cost good that you can't sell?
The valuations aren't crazy, but they are myopic. IF AI can deliver productivity gains like tech has until now, then the valuations are sane. BUT what they miss is that if that happens, society crumbles or corrects. They're missing the forest for the trees.
So hire kids who don't know anything yet to write the processes? Yeah, I'm sure those processes will be greeeeaaaaat.
It absolutely depends on who emerges from the coming fight. At least half the field will absolutely refuse to address it yet again, no matter what they say publicly. The media and the tilted Prez primary structure will assist.
That is the primary (pun intended) fight that will play out the next few years. It sure feels like any candidate who doesn't vociferously endorse "extreme" measures to stop this madness will get shouted down and run out of any substantial primary.
