    They are putting absolutely no effort in their performance to pretend to be an opposition party.

      It’s weird there isn’t even a pretense of kabuki. I guess the dem machine hopes for Trump to cause pain and chaos so they can be seen as the only hope. But at this rate - I think even if prices soar and there are a “troubling” number of bird flu cases and deaths in the run up to the midterms - the dem base could be angry and/or demoralized. The elections could be a dem bloodbath.

      Whatever their actual strategy is - they are playing a dangerous game

    2. Lose election to trump
    3. Turn over government willingly to trump the fascist
    4. Refuse to interdict trump the fascists government

      Liberals only know how to oppose the left, vote for the Enabling Act and lie.

        Pro-wrestling has a wealth of terminology to describe US politics!

          The main difference between the two is that US politics only has face-heel turns, never the other way around.

    That’s because their real goal is to be stewards of the empire, so they don’t want to threaten to fuck it up even temporarily.

    The Dems don’t know how to sell a shut down until they get what they want as a good thing.

    the-democrat Should’ve empowered us to do nothing with a majority, now we’re stuck doing nothing with a minority.

    Every time i see pictures of Chuck or Donald or even the flawed but important to me punished-bernie , I i’m remind these guys are all just leather skeletons. They all look so damn old. There is not a single cell of vitality in any of their photos.

    What’s the spin here? Trump attacks the institutions of American governance, so the Democrats doing this is actually saving the government (so it can keep destroying itself)?

      See SacredExcrement’s comment + links in the comment - https://hexbear.net/comment/5910892

      Summary: They want chaos and they want Americans to feel pain so they can win (big) in the mid-terms. That seems 100% insane to me but it also seems in (perfect) alignment with their unwillingness to even put up symbolic resistance.
