Opinion La Résistance

[Siver!]

Nah, you're missing the forest for the trees. The Democrats not really standing for anything got us to this point where a sleazy used car salesman could win the presidency. More of the same isn't it and if you have a message worth fighting for, you need to speak up. We are in a Constitutional crisis, people do not want more milquetoast nonsense. This is the absolute worst time to be silent and a few Democrats are picking up on that and the ones doing things and speaking up are being lauded.

Empirically speaking, Bernie and AOC are drawing INSANE crowds doing the opposite of what you're suggesting and support for the Democrats writ large is very, very low. People want fighters right now, you don't put your phone on silent when there's a coup going on.

I will never agree with the take that they shouldn't doing anything and the polling seems to reflect that sentiment. They're literally elected to do things. That is their job.

It's not a case of not doing anything, just no need to try to take the spotlight away from what's already happening.

Again, just get a proposition together.

Going too far left is a bad play. Like you said before, a normie Dem, a centrist, someone who might not even appeal to the far left is the right person. The right went way too far right, you aren't going to win by stretching the entire political spectrum, you're just going to lose a bunch of potential centre-right voters.

Let individual politicians do what they're doing, but make sure when 2028 rolls around there's someone in the middle waiting to harvest the votes. The Dems won't be facing Trump, or a cult leader by then, that's a fantasy. It's not a case of preparing for the worst case scenario, it's going to be a case of picking the bones of a dead agenda.

Anyway, I take on what you're saying, I don't think that's the way personally, but I'm sure we'll see how it plays out.

The right busting the economy is the only card the Dems will need. Never muddy Crystal clear waters.

I can't disagree more and any empirical data I've seen suggest otherwise as well.

Normy Dems are a lot of the ones attending Bernie and AOC rallies and they also want the Dems fighting.

I said what I said, not much to add.

Yeah, fine. Successive governments in the UK have won by saying nothing, and avoiding interviews like the plague.

It's the way. We live in a reactionary era with little logic or consistency.

I couldn't disagree more vehemently. Milquetoast politics got us here and the poll numbers don't reflect the silence strategy. The approval rating for Democrats as a party from their constituents is dog shit, 29% if memory serves. If the Dems stay silent and don't do anything we're fucked, Chuck Schumer already fucked the entire country. The courts are holding the line.

I can't speak to UK politics but I'm solid on US politics. You're ignoring a lotta factors here. And,

 

[Deorum]

Like, how is it even possible to clock in with an approval rating that even isn't half of this guy in the bottom row? What the fuck is even going on here, rofl.





And look at Harding, lol. The fuckin' cunt.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Imagine taking advice from this old fucking drunk.

[deviake]

That was like watching an Onion sketch. Jesus

 

[deviake]

Good to see the Democrats getting serious

 

[Scott Stapp]

my advice would be to stop crying wolf constantly to regain credibility

Yeah, they should actually start eating dogs instead.
