Such a perfect example of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in action. An unwritten “rule” that makes enacting change damn near impossible.

The fact that every state gets two senators regardless of size exacerbates this, but then again the house is closer to proportional and it’s not like they’re passing progressive legislation.

In Capitalist America, having a simple majority is considered the ‘nuclear option’.

All I’m saying is that Andrew Jackson would not have put up with this level of dissent from his own party

The r/politics tier lib response to “Biden should target Manchin’s donors, investigate his daughter, etc.” is that it’s unacceptable to engage in political corruption of targeting someone’s family.

It’s just amazing. Everything about Biden, including his family and his rise in the primary, is corrupt. But any wielding of political power is corrupt. The concept of “power” is indistinguishable from “corruption” in their weak minds. If you ask them, “well then how the fuck do we ever win”, the answer is always “go vote”.

What if we made him big. Like really big. Proportionately rotund.

What if we had a big man who was too big to shoot?

The US left needs a charismatic figurehead who operates from the safety of Cuba or China.

You really don’t want someone like Jackson as the figurehead of the movement. You never know whether we’re going to go off on the right thing or get distracted by some stupid shit that personally pisses us off. Hell we never know until it is too late.

This is what happens when you elect someone with no base or mandate. Biden can’t do shit because he’s hated at worst or pitied at best, nobody actually likes the guy enough to advocate on his behalf

Remember in 2001 and 2002 when it was basically considered treason to question Bush or his agenda in any way?

It’s amazing to see people who were around when the Dems had 60 votes in 2009 act like that’s all we need to fix this situation. As though they would be incapable of finding a new obstacle once they had their votes.

Nothing fundamentally changed, just like he promised!

And liberals could finally sleep soundly and stop caring about politics!

The wildest thing is that the /r/neoliberal narrative is that he’s doing way too much and needs to do less to appease the ever-elusive moderates.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).
