    I’m in NY and I will NOT be voting for Schumer in the primaries. Hopefully, I’m not the only one with this mindset. The only Democrat that I see reflecting my outrage is Jasmine Crockett. All the established politicians, like Hakeem Jeffries, act as if they’re clenching down to hold in a barbiturate enema.

    Wouldn’t it be more accurate to show the democrats giving cops and border patrol boatloads of money? They were elected on a mandate of reform the police but instead they just gave them shit loads of money and built them fake towns so that the cops could get their rocks off imagining hurting citizens.

    It’s hilarious to see people scapegoat the democrats so much.

    What have you done to prevent this?

    Progressives constantly bitch and moan but haven’t organized anything themselves so this is literally the kettle calling the pot black.

      Imagine complaining about the plumber who tried to fix your leaky pipe with a paper napkin, and have someone saying you are scapegoating them. It’s their fucking job to prevent this.

        They were doing a good job before the voters cut off both of their arms by giving MAGA majorities in the house and senate and the presidency.

          How is giving police departments, now working to enable the authoritarian agenda which WE ALL KNEW THEY WOULD DO, even more money “doing a good job?”

              Let’s be honest, if ten years ago taught us anything it’s that the public would probably blame the Republicans for the shutdown. They keep shutting the government down, getting blamed, losing elections as a result, then forgetting and once again shutting the government down. Why the hell should the Democrats save Republicans from the consequences of their own actions?? You know Democrats aren’t going to get any credit for keeping the lights on when they swoop in and vote with the GOP on their asenine budget. Why would you rather take the high road in order to help the Republicans than take the low road for once and let the GOP’s obvious lack of ability to govern bite them in the ass? What kind of a Democrat goes out of their way to save the GOP from itself?

                DOGE is already pretty unpopular for everyone but die hard MAGAs why would you swoop in and do that job for them and take the blame?

                  But Democrats won’t take the blame, we’ve been through this before and that concern almost never plays out. We’re gonna pull our punches because they’re already pretty unpopular and, what, that’s good enough? Are you kidding?

          Believe it or not, getting votes is also part of their job. It’s an integral part of the system and usually works if they actually try to represent us.

      Progressive candidates either tote the Democratic Party line or the party drops all support for them instead pushing all that money to a centrist candidate.

      Then the democratic leaning media runs articles against those progressives saying stuff like “will progressives sink democratic electoral chances”.
