We don’t elect Democrats to legislate based on what Republicans might do. The real reason Democrats consider the Jim Crow Filibuster to be more important than the lives and rights of pregnant patients is that if the Jim Crow Filibuster goes away, they lose their procedural excuse for breaking campaign promises that they never intended to even try to keep.
Fair enough. Guess we’ll just deal with a deliberately useless party with no ambitions greater than “don’t lose” until they eventually lose anyway and we get the fascism they didn’t bother to do anything to stop except temporarily occupying offices in its way.
But in the meantime, you get to pretend you’re moral when you demand unquestioning fealty to a guy who supports genocide.

We absolutely do, what are you talking about? That’s probably the biggest reason Biden was even elected. Because of what Trump might do.

If more people voted for them and not for actual literal Nazi fascism, then we could reorient our priorities away from “save democracy”.
If fascism was reduced to the fringe party it deserves, then the process of improving people’s lives would be much easier.
They had the opportunity to do that, and chose the filibuster instead. More Democrats in the senate just means we’ll find a few more no votes.
You guys are totally just MAGAs painted blue. This is just a rephrasing of the whole “deep state” thing.
If it quits happening, I’ll quit sayin’ it.
