this is what they ran on to stop, at least in part.
more over, I didn’t sign up for this shit either. If they don’t start doing their job, we will be going to a civil war- a civil war that will make the last one look like a block party.
That’s all fair. I’m not at all satisfied with their performance, just not surprised. Legislators don’t know how to respond to the Gish Gallop, especially when it’s taken the top offices.
I guess the biggest issue I have is when legislators are whining about it.
“Well I didn’t sign up for this!”
Except you kinda did. and the time to act was over the last four and a quarter years… with the whole apparently lacking an understand of where it’s going.
What will it take to supplant them and take control of the party or delegitimize them as a viable 2nd party in the awful two party system and replace the party with something progressive that represents workers other than more of the same?
Democrats aren’t revolutionaries. They’re legislators. Most of them didn’t sign up for this but for normal work.
It does mean we have the wrong people in office when we need fighters, but I don’t see how you can throw all the blame on them.
They’re the ones who are afraid of going to Gitmo, assuming they aren’t otherwise disappeared.

I hate to be that guy, but do you or they really think that’s gonna stop them?
No. The people are going to have to do it. Or the military, but that rarely ends well for anyone.

I don’t see a voting way out of this, sadly.
So if it’s a revolution, and we win, we then get to institute different rules that don’t lead to the inevitable two party domination.
