In reply to the discussion: The Rude Pundit: Note to Democrats: We're Freaking the Fuck Out and You're Not Helping Us Enough [View all]Bettie
(19,712 posts)13. This part especially for me
Most of all, stop making nice with the bastards. Sen. Amy Klobuchar recently said that Americans want Democrats and Republicans to "find common ground," which is patently absurd. Americans don't give a fuck about that or they wouldn't have voted for the candidate who explicitly said that Democrats can go fuck themselves. So fuck that. Grind the working of the government to a standstill with on unanimous consent, with bill readings, with whatever weird shit you can do in the Senate for some ancient reason. Do not support a single nominee. Make Republicans own it all.
Really. When Biden was in office....when Obama was in office, they may have occasionally cooperated, but not often.
Why are Dems overall so eager find common ground with people who are LITERALLY supporting the destruction of the country? Of the economy? Who are eagerly putting into place people who are not only incompetent, but don't have the interest of the country as even a random thought once in a while?
And yet, common ground and cooperation is their watch word.

Tired "old" Dems... where are the fighters? Where are the young leaders? Where is old Nancy P now that we need energy?

That's it. We know the deck is stacked. We know things will probably fail. But get out there anyway

I wish we could put The Rude Pundit in charge of Democratic leadership.

Perhaps more Democrats will begin to understand why we lost twice to the demagogue.
