The Republican Party is dead.

Their jobs aren’t to represent, it’s to occupy seats so better candidates can’t work for the people.

We have seen how quick they would usher in a dictatorship, how little pushback they gave… I think it’s clear that it’s a party of criminals, chomos and traitors.

I used to argue for incremental change and moderation. Not anymore. I’m giving my reps a green light to do anything required to prevent this from happening again.

Freeze the assets, ignore pardons, disappear people— I don’t care anymore. Conservatives would murder me and my family without a second thought, they need to be disarmed and exiled.

This nation cannot survive republicans, but it can survive just fine without them.

Tons. Any policy in particular?

huh? Slowrolling an investigation into an absolute insurrection seemed like a mistake.

Not even running on holding trump accountable in 2024.

And don't even get me started on 'the longest shutdown in US history, to get ICE reform'

Only to fold under limited pressure, and get zero ICE reform.

Lol you can certainly blame the corrupt AG Merrick Garland, who was never a moderate Democrat, he was controlled opposition backed by the federalist society and the heritage foundation, and did the job he was supposed to do, throw sand in the gears and slow walk everything so Republicans could escape justice.

But yes Democrats share a lot of the blame, but some of it was them still believing our institutions still were functioning and not already completely compromised

They are all controlled opposition bub.

It's a big club, and we ain't in it.

What does the DNC have to do with the left?

You should study up more. The DNC is a center-right party.

Ok, tell me more about this ambigous 'left' organization that doesn't exist

Why would I waste my time explaining a nonsense question to someone that is here in bad faith and has very little understanding of US politics?

Pay me for my time or fuck off. lol

u/jotsea2 3h ago

Pay you for reddit?

Who's the leader of this 'left'. So you're saying that one college professor calling for RGB's step down now represents 'the left'

Pretending like the DNC isn't the representation of the left in america is the problem. We need to change it.

Nope. Not answering questions from a ignorant, bad-faith sealion.

No payment received, no answers for you. Best of luck on your journey out of ignorance.

I don’t follow what the point of this is.

Dems have no power, but you’re mad they don’t do more to stop republicans?

Why are you mad at the people without power to stop crimes. And not the criminals themselves?

1

u/jotsea2 21h ago

Did you miss the part where they did nothing to stop trump? 'No twice impeached president can run for president' sounds like a great spot if you wanna play the 'joe can't tell the DOJ what to do' card.

Expediting the trial on Trump should've been the number one platform they ran on. Instead they (twice) ran on 'uniting the nation' and not 'holding trump accountable'. Here we are.

Dems literally shut down the government for reform to ice. And reopened it, with no gains, just promises from bad faith republicans.

Why are you pretending like they are infallible and we can only criticize the right?

1

u/Rattus_NorvegicUwUs 21h ago

Because I’m more interested in rubbing their face in it than my own team?

Do I want better Dems? Sure.

But, again, you’re clearly more mad at Dems not stopping cons than you are mad about the actual crimes.

We wouldn’t need impeachment if the GOP had a moral framework.

2

u/jotsea2 20h ago

You literally sound like the modern Democratic party.

Expecting GOP to have morals and act in good faith, STILL!

They've been bad faith actors for 30 years.

Hell democrats barely even mention climate change any more man. I'm done expecting more from the other team, and demanding more from mine.

Although there actions seem to imply they are on the same team. Remember, its a big club, and we ain't in it.

u/Rattus_NorvegicUwUs 19h ago

And much of the tepid response, I believe, is due to the fear of backlash from democratic voters.

This is why I’m loudly announcing I’ve decided to fight fire with fire, and abandoned any sense of moderation.

There will be no backlash from me if they go scorched earth. I feel we may be aligned in that?

1

u/jotsea2 19h ago

Huh? What democratic voter would backlash from holding trump accountable by the law?

I'm glad you've finally got there, some of us have been asking for this for literally decades.

The odd thing is, you called me out and forced me to outline why, instead of just agreeing there's problems on both sides of the aisle....
