'Stop Playing Nice,' Says AOC as Senate Dems Help Approve Yet Another Trump Nominee

Democrats will keep losing because that's their sole purpose.

Ratchet effect.

The Republicans tug on the levers of power pulling everything right.

The Democrats' duty is to normalize and rationalize while the GOP resets for the next tug.

There are Democrats that do actually care, but the DNC leadership is well right of center and would rather lose to Trump than win with Burnie.

Democrats will always lose because liberals are right of center nimby turds that will continue to worship capitalism as we all burn.

Anyone expecting the Democrats to save them is ignoring this is the first election in decades no state Democrat contested any result and PA, NY, and NV all show results that are statically impossible and obviously manipulated.

And this is why Democrats will keep losing.

Do people not understand yet that we have moved beyond that world now? No more Democrats vs. Republicans and any of that "how to win an election" stuff. It's over.

i wish she’d move to canada and run for office here

People think the Democrats are losing relevance because they're "Too woke", and "No one cares about transpeople when there are bills to pay"

It's really because they do shit like try to compromise with someone who wants to kill you by agreeing to let them cut off an arm.

No. Send in Schumer again. Surely it'll work this time.

At this point US needs leaders who can mobilize people and spearhead protest marches in the street. AOC is perfectly positioned to call for such protest march. If she does that and become figurehead of the Dem Allies against MuskTrump axis,, she might get elevated to same status as MLK and may be even Lincoln. And on that note, why Kamala is quiet ?

These aren't Democrats we're talking about, they're just more affluent folks trying to keep their pockets lined. Moral bankruptcy is a required trait to be a politician these days apparently

10+ brand new accounts commenting in this thread, with 2 of them less than a day old. Did Lemmy get an influx of new accounts or are these bots?

i have a question - where is Kamala Harris in all this ? She lost the prez race and decided to just give up on her dreams of creating a better USA? This is the perfect moment for her to step up, invite people for resistance, lead that resistance and be the leader she claimed to be.

Where are all the 2a folks who are going to stop the 'tyRAnNicAl gOvERnMenT'

It should not be on her shoulders to explain this moment. The fact that she is able to articulate our current crisis is amazing.

The democrats are the assistance. And people seem to not be able to figure this out.

It isn't playing nice if you know the people you're approving are fascists. It makes them rolling over even worse. Republicans had no issue obstructing whenever they felt needed.

AOC is 100% correct.

"We're literally losing our democracy!!!"

votes for it to continue for the 200th time in a row

"How could this happen?!"

helps them do it again

Fuck the democrats. Let's take BERNIE and AOC, and replace the rest in the next election.

AOC and others who are prepared to fight this bullshit need to spin off their own political party. I figure it would only take the departures of a handful of high-profile progressives to make the whole house of cards fall. The country is being pillaged, and the Dems’ response has been completely fucking impotent. Time to build a new party that isn’t run by geriatric milquetoasts.

The elite Democrats aren't worried about fighting back.

They are trying to figure out how they can win the next round AND HOW THEY WILL USE THE SYSTEM TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE ONCE THEY REGAIN CONTROL.

We need another party that is actually for the people.

Playing nice again nazis always worked out fine. Remember how we defeated Hitler by just asking him politely to stop killing people?

Stop salty or buttering it up.

If there’s one thing corporate dems hate more than the Republicans, it’s AOC and her squad.

@inclementimmigrant

IKR?!

WTF Dems...?

Stop enabling a tyrant. This is gonna bite you in the ass quicker than you thing.

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."

Democrats would rather be fascists than fight fascists.

But when you try and run a campaign as off-brand, Mr Pibb, diet-fascists..

"But both parties are not the same" they screamed as the country burned and the elites on both sides of the aisle lined their pockets off the backs of their suffering constituents.

Come now children and give me your downvotes and paragraphs of bullshit telling me I am wrong.

Fear of reprisal.

Once all these confirmations are done, you may see senators that voted against mysteriously fall out of windows.

If only AOC stopped playing nice with the rail corporation and didn't vote to prevent a union strike.

The only way anything she says will have any impact is if she start getting the army ready to launch a counter-coup, or else starts building a leftwing militia.

No amount of not-nice wordsmithing and congressional wankery is going to work -- we're past that point now.

Pot meet kettle

Jesus fuck, the dems are as shitbrained as the fucking returdlickans
