But you don’t understand! When the wholesome Chungus Blue Liberals dump steam shovels full of money on extractive industries that’s automatically clean energy regardless of what it’ll put in the atmosphere. Only the evil, feckless Red Liberals would ever do anything so evil as subsidizing fossil fuels!!
Just look at all the Liberals in the thread already explaining how this one doesn’t count against their preferred Neoliberal Ghouls, bcs it happened in between the election and the swearing in, so it didn’t really happen, and if it did then it was acceptable, actually, and besides none of those elected representatives are true
scotsmenDemocrats!Nooo you don’t get it we have to be happy with the democratic party now! The next drones will be sent by a government that has a Muslim senator!! This means we can go back to brunch!!!
Americans do love a nice “mission accomplished” banner. I hope they can keep pushing Democrats to the left, so this election accomplishes more than being a liberal pressure release valve while Stephen Miller ramps up the program.
People here like to pretend Biden was actually a positive force. They only started giving a fuck about ICE when Trump came back, not to mention the genocide.
Libs are going back to brunch until they get activated again in 12 months time when they have to be ramped up to vote for whatever ghoul the DNC wants to install next.
You know that the people we voted for last week haven’t been sworn in yet, right?
Duh. Literally nobody in these comments nor the article (that you clearly didn’t read) is confused about that.
Well OP seems to be based on the sensationalized title.
Nope. That’s not what they’re saying at all.
Seems like its pretty necessary since we have people like you reflexively screeching at critique of the democrats.
Also, and I don’t know if you know this, but editorialised headlines typically help with getting people to read the content. Didn’t work for you it seems, but it got others to read, so…
You’re out here putting titles in all caps like an Infowars intern yet I’m the one screeching.
Correct
You know that they’re members of the same party, right?
I’m not american. Do you realize they only have two parties? Don’t come back at me with a whattabout third party unless you include some data about independant’s visibility, funding, and results from their recent election.
I put my cart before the horse and its not moving at all!
It’s kind of weird to make demands about visibility or funding or votes when the way a party gets that is by… Getting support.
The way of breaking up a duopoly is by supporting a third party. How do you think a party gets votes if not by people voting for them? How does a party get funding or visibility if people don’t fund it or agitate for it?Do you look at bags of flour and expect them to spontaneously turn into cakes?
None of that’s happened yet so they should take a small amount of time to vote for the lesser of two evils then get their ass to work on doing the things you’ve described so next election they have another choice.
I don’t start trying to bake a cake if I know I don’t have any flour.
The lesser of two evils would be filibustering this legislation and delaying it until the next term, when it can be rewritten.
I agree with that too, what the usa is doing to the people of Venezuela is repugnant. Filibustering is an action for the elected officials whom I don’t have any patience for. My comments were intended to show some grace and sympathy for the american general public who are relentlessly propogandized and walked over.
They should vote for the lesser of two evils
I don’t start trying to bake a cake if I know I don’t have any flour.
You seem to believe flour spontaneusly appears and if it doesn’t we should all just eat shit forever and nobody should try to bake a cake with whatever flour is available because the cake won’t be big enough for your liking, so everyone should just wait until enough flour spontaneusly appears and then wait for that flour to coalesce into a cake and then we can talk about maybe not eating shit.
You going “nuh uh” about believing cakes materialise out of nowhere and then going on to demand a cake materialises out of nowhere forced me to really stretch the analogy.
Ah yes because the gop is the correct choice and are blameless here in this particular vote…
That’s how they get you: Democrats can do anything the want to you because Republicans are worse.
You types are incredible at hallucinating straw men. You should turn your creative energies towards creating art, rather than making up something noone is saying.
Yes. How is this vote related to the midterm results?
Because the midterm results showed the mood and views of their voters. Thats quite obvious. What kind of question is that?
And how many of those 22 Democrats were reelected last week?
Of those who were up for re-election and voted to support it, only 1 wasn’t re-elected. This is based on my manual review.
So in other words, 6 (including Fetterman).
Are you missing the point on purpose or what?
Just told you
I actually think this is Democrats listening to the majority of their constituents.
The Midterm blowout came in large part from high energy prices due to data centers and the Ukraine/Iran wars. Yankees didn’t suddenly wake up to the need to transition to green energy, they’re pigs, they just want their treats to be less expensive.
I find it hard to believe that the constituency that opposes new gas pipeline construction is that big in the US.
We didn’t fall for it again. We know most democrat politicians are still morally corrupt. We didn’t vote for them because we thought it would fix everything. We voted for them to reduce harm while we continue to work to get all of the morally corrupt people out.
Harm is never reduced. The choices are “harm” and “even more harm” and there isn’t a “reduce harm” option.
We voted for them to reduce
harmNews coverage of the harm we’re still doing while wecontinue to work to get all of the morally corrupt people out.go back to brunchThere, that’s better. We should always strive for accuracy in communication.
reduce harm
Looks inside
Voting for the party that expanded ICEs concentration camps, killed the majority of palestinians, beat the shit out of protesters, massively expanded fracking.
Rummages around
Running defense for the same party as soon as anyone dares to critique them, and coopting leftist language to do so.
Neat!
If you were serious about “harm reduction” then your reaction wouldnt be some half-assed regurgitation of the same tired clichés blue-MAGA trots out every time anyone dares critique their cult.
