You're not asking too much. You're just throwing out a bunch of nothing StarfishSaver May 2021 #39

What does "get a spine" mean? betsuni May 2021 #52

It is a slur most often used against Democrats. sheshe2 May 2021 #84

I wasn't aware hospitals are giving away spines. betsuni May 2021 #85

I haven't heard of it either. sheshe2 May 2021 #88

I wonder if anyone will advise Democrats to go to the hospital for a "complacency" removal. betsuni May 2021 #106

Well.. sheshe2 May 2021 #108

One thing people keep forgetting StarfishSaver May 2021 #107

I think the thing to ask here, to everyone, EVERYONE, is... "What are YOU doing to play hardball?" ck4829 May 2021 #51

One observation I have TheFarseer May 2021 #56

I get your point, but StarfishSaver May 2021 #62

I was thinking similar thoughts Cha May 2021 #69

I want the Dem leadership to do the same thing to Manchin wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #78

What exactly do you think they should "do" to Manchin "short of pushing him out of office"? StarfishSaver May 2021 #79

Right, I'm betting McConnell's just itchin to be Majority Leader again Budi May 2021 #83

Then let that fucking Liebercrat switch parties wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #87

I just love when Democrats come up with these kind of ridiculous "solutions" StarfishSaver May 2021 #90

Just like they did in 2009-2010 n/t wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #91

You mean when they ended the recession, saved the economy, passed Obamacare, rescued auto industry StarfishSaver May 2021 #95

And lost the house? Then the Senate? wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #98

Two of the reasons we lost the House and then the Senate are 1) we WERE StarfishSaver May 2021 #100

Point #2: betsuni May 2021 #102

Yep StarfishSaver May 2021 #103

MM and the clueless will be out there predicting Republicans retake Congress, betsuni May 2021 #105

This is revolting mcar May 2021 #130

Righteousness beats thinking. betsuni May 2021 #132

Anyone with half a brain could have predicted a teahadist backlash to Obama wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #110

There's a difference between calling out "those in the Democratic caucus who will sabotage StarfishSaver May 2021 #112

In Obama's case, it is the right that sunk the legislative majorities wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #113

Go back and look at what happened in 2010 StarfishSaver May 2021 #118

Look at the legislative record wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #121

Sinema voted against bills Obama supported in 2010? StarfishSaver May 2021 #124

Read and learn wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #126

We were talking about how Democrats lost majorities in 2010. StarfishSaver May 2021 #128

The point of that post wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #129

Wait, you want McConnell to be Majority Leader? mcar May 2021 #94

Joe Manchin can't switch parties wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #114

So what are you talking about, then? mcar May 2021 #131

McConnel will not get control of the Senate wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #133

From Jane Mayer's Al Franken piece wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #86

You said they should do what they did to Franken short of forcing him to resign StarfishSaver May 2021 #89

If the way a member of the caucus votes will cost them power wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #92

No. That's not how it works StarfishSaver May 2021 #96

So Repukes know how to keep members in line, but Dems don't? wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #99

Do you want Democrats to "keep Members in line" the way Republicans do? StarfishSaver May 2021 #101

Keeping Democrats in line is not turning into Republicans wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #111

You keep taking about "getting them in line" but have offered no suggestions for doing that StarfishSaver May 2021 #116

Yes, it is the party leader's job to "snack members round" wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #117

Actually, it's not StarfishSaver May 2021 #119

What's the point of having party leaders if they don't lead wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #120

One of the reasons I'm a Democrat is that we don't think "leading" means forcing everyo in ourbranks StarfishSaver May 2021 #122

This doesn't make any sense mcar May 2021 #93

Read the thread n/t wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #115

They might not have done anything to Franken treestar May 2021 #123

Good point StarfishSaver May 2021 #125

They certainly wouldn't have touched Franken if he's a senator from NJ wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #127
