In reply to the discussion: To win, Democrats should chuck their leadership [View all]bigtree
(93,480 posts)Oh, no, on edit I see that it's that troll fuck Norman Solomon who was just attacking Joe Biden last April, writing:
"Democrats deference to Biden was a disaster. They still havent learned their lesson"
Thing is, this troll writer, nor any of us actually vote for who is leader of the respective Democratic memberships - the members do.
Any gripe they have with the leaders THEY chose needs to be addressed to THEM because, these two evidently represent THEIR collective views and intentions in their respective houses.
What a farce pretending critics have a say in who the Dem leaders are. Moreover, I'll bet they don't even know who to call to urge them to organize such a farce.
Or, more importantly, WHO is stepping up to take up that traditionally scapegoated role?
This pretense that there's some internecine fight, or even more misleading, that the members who've ALREADY fought republicans and WON to be where they are would do something as stupid as dismantle their own leadership like several hounded Biden into doing, for instance, in the last election.
That ratfucking worked out just dandy, right?
Why does anyone in the party still listen to these people who can only think of tearing something down; oblivious to the need right now to build the the party and gain the majority.
Addition, not subtraction.
I mean, blaming the two for some fault in the party, two successful leaders (when people bother to vote them in a majority) who are decidedly more progressive than their collective membership, is just avoidance of the realities they both face in organizing a toothless minority that these very same critics evidently didn't bother to support the last time around.
What the two produce is what their caucus will support. They're not dictators, and no one should expect the Democrat they send there to be dictated down to by anyone. It's absurd, and a canard.
Support Democrats and win the majority. It's not as hard as trolls like this Salon writer pretend. Does anyone notice that the polls greatly favor Democrats, so what the fuck is this person talking about? We've been winning almost every race that emerges, and the polls for republicans are wildly swinging the opposite way from their last contests.
The shit that people allow themselves to get gaslighted by is really something.
