It presents a slight problem when the ones they’re bringing in to deal with the shitty politicians are the people who paid them to be shitty in the first place.

      Right right, that’s all fine, but we need to elect minimum 60 Democrats. Full stop. We need to support electing 60 Democrats. We can all gather around and discuss how to sort out our Democrats after we remove the Republican Menace.

        You kinda worked yourself into a dead end there. It’s impossible for 60 democrats to win in the Senate with the way the DNC currently acts. The idea that people need to just believe in the DNC is never going to sway the average voter who’s getting poorer by the day.

        Remove it from… What, exactly? Even if they do win 60 seats, do you think Republicans will disappear from existence? They’ll fuck around with their lame duck policies and get their ass handed to them by the GOP the next election. And setting all that aside: They could’ve just fucking gotten rid of the filibuster. The fact they haven’t after what the GOP did during Obama’s term should tell you all you need to know.

            And it’s never getting done, is the point here. This talk of jobs and duty will never get voters, no matter how much anyone wants it to.
