It's absolutely bullshit. Most of what progressives want is stuff we had 50 years ago. The boldest new proposal is Medicare for All. Somehow every single other developed economy in the world can achieve universal healthcare, but the richest country in the world can't manage it? BULLSHIT! While you wrong your hands people are dying and lives are being ruined every single day. It's profane, and it's pathetic. Yes, we can do a hell of a lot better.

Third party strategies can not and will not work. However bad they are, the Democratic party has a stranglehold on media attention and a fiercely loyal following. Getting all those voters to collectively walk away is an insane notion.

I've got news for you. The entire party leadership is desperately trying to prevent any change whatsoever.

The Democrats lost ground with every demographic but college educated women. 2020 was an unusually high turnout election. 2024 was a regression to the mean, yet Trump's vote total went up.

Blaming the voters is just electoral masturbation. It doesn't lead anywhere. Do you have a plan to get better voters in 2028? Blaming voters is for politicians that don't care about winning. In other words, it's for establishment Democrats.

It took a long time for nature to figure out how to process wood, but it eventually happened. My wooden furniture is still standing though.

Everything you said about the administration is spot on. I just don't think it will work the way they want it to. I think the administration isn't holding the tool they think they're holding.

Yeah, consequences like FDR getting elected President four times in a row. That was the last time the Democrats had a popular President.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but America's ability to do much of anything is being dismantled before our eyes. The Democrats played it safe, so voters looked elsewhere.

60 years of unbelievable productivity gains and new technologies, and life has only gotten harder. I think we could do better than that. Bullshit excuses are easy to accept when it hasn't hit you yet.

Yeah, the Democrats have actually been doing everything right and have just had a string of bad luck. Bad dice roles on their voter generator. There is no reason for them to reevaluate or change anything. /s

All that does practically is prevent them from making arrests. It does not prevent them from deploying on US soil, or using force against civilians.

No military force will ever be deployed anywhere with that restriction. They could be delivering food and medicine to an orphanage, and they would still be prepared to respond to any aggression.
