There is a “potential power,” a tightly coiled force quietly waiting for a real emergency, buried deep in our Constitution for 232 years. It's time to unleash it.
Well, that was a huge waste of time in assuming that Joe Manchin, a perennial corporate fossil-fuel stooge, was anyone other than a selfish little man with a little mind, a little soul, and a big ugly head who relishes attention while profiting on death and misery. The poor slobs in West Virginia, one of the most backward states in the union, deserve him if that’s their idea of a good Democrat.
Is it even worth holding the Senate and taking the blame for failure if the Democratic Party allows itself to be battered and raped by its serial abusers? Democrats look weak because they are weak. Let Traitor Joe go be a fcking Republican in name, like he’s begging for, and take the hit. Maybe that will shock complacent voters enough to spur them into action in 2022 and 2024 when democracy itself is truly on the line. We ain’t seen nothin' yet.
Because playing the same old game just ain’t working anymore. Progressives and the suffering minorities always give Democrats the numbers to win, and the Republican-lite Dems on the radical right (nothing “moderate” about it), who are deep in the pocket of their money-masters, always take away the win. That’s not a bug; it’s a feature.
Well I think the message is clear for a lot of individuals---slow your roll.
People hate it when you over-promise. Language matters. There's nothing wrong with saying: "we want to pass this legislation", "this is the legislation that is needed", or "our goal is to have enough people in the Congress to assure this legislation will pass". The message should be followed by the President saying "if you elect the people needed to get it done, I will sign it".
No more false hope, no more fake it till you make it happen, and never act like it is a done-deal.
