    It’s a bit transparent and embarrassing for the DNC to be spinning this up right before the election instead of years ago when this shit was announced.

    Look if it makes people realize Repubs are fucking scum, I’m all for it. Let’s flip some seats.

    But would it be asking too much for the DNC to stop fucking spitting in my face with the bullshit and disrespect and actually work on reforming the crumbling pillars of our society?

    Do they actually expect us to believe this is some kind of heel turn and Republicans haven’t been working towards this goal all along, securing victories for their cause under Dem administrations and through Dem majorities? Like, it’s not some kind of big “go” button. The slide has been happening for 50 years.

    Yeah such a great threat to our democracy that they held this campaign in the chamber until Biden needed the boost to stay viable.

      The Democratic party knows exactly how much they should trust the intelligence of the average voter. The fact that they’re right is what should disgust you.

        They’re the ones who won’t fight tooth and nail for public education. Which is their job, and in their personal interest.

      People still largely see D and R as “good” and “bad” instead of “frog in building heat” and “frog dropped into boiling water”
