politics

but also why stop MAGA when they're fucking up this badly?

Hey imagine if you had a baby inside you, and then something catastrophic happened and the failed pregnancy now was threatening your life.

Now imagine you heard someone saying some dumb shit like you are now saying while you were wondering if your doctor was going to be able to operate on you before it was too late as you sit waiting to get close enough to death to be saved...

Now imagine the Democrats over decades and decades pretending like they were going to fight to stop this kind of insane cruelty towards women, raised countless amounts of money on that narrative, and then proceeded to do next to NOTHING to stop the overturning of Roe V. Wade, to put the brakes on ths descent into fascism at all?

Now shut the fuck up.

You can do this thought experiment from the perspective of an immigrant who has watched the Democratic party totally adopt a rightwing framing on immigration and lean into dehumanizing immigrants, but they would talk about it in a nicer way..... (I mean look at Biden's record on immigration, it is downright conservative).... and imagine right now you hear someone saying something like you just did as the entire country collapses into a crisis over whether immigrants should be treated like human beings or not.

The place to fight was to never accept these horrendous framings that are so twisted they are violent threats to our loved ones and the people that make up our communities, shame on you for having the smallness of vision to see how badly the Democrats failed and are failing to meet this moment by and large.

No, there is so much more they could have done and they could be doing, and many of them aren't because they are actually fine with this along with every damn Republican.

Just because the Republicans are awful doesn’t excuse the Democratic party for being completely ineffective captured opposition.

90% of them just roll over because they love power more than standing up for what’s right.

Because they don't only fuck maga they fuck the world and it will take years to build the unfucking back

I think the sentiment is that, by allowing the administration to continue making blunders, they are helping the democratic party in the long-term, but people are being hurt in the short-term.

I understand that their hands are tied, but a large swath of the public is furious and want their fury to be echoed by their representatives.

All that said, you could say pretty much the same thing happened from the maga pov back in 2012, and that's how we got into this mess.
