      And when you vote them in they won’t do shit to improve the lives of Americans either.

      That is, if there is another election.

    Meanwhile Chris Murphey went on PodJohnsPodJohnHour and said that Democrats are quiet because people keep calling them on the staffer office lines and telling them to kill themselves.

    The US Opposition is hilarious. These people really thought they’d defeat fascism in 2016.

      Depending on whether these are angry chuds gloating or legitimately mad marginalized people venting, (un)critical support.

      The liberals who said that in 2009 underestimated the explosive energy of American White Nationalism, all the dems have to fall back on is an exhausted coalition, that many democrats are now actively attempting to tear apart for the sake of spite

      The Democratic Party is closer to a genuine death than we think, I doubt they’ll be a major party in ten years

    They’ll never apply this metric to themselves

    Maybe the reason so many people voted republican or sat out is because the Democrats are worthless genocidal ghouls? Maybe a lot of voters realize that? They never learn.

    it seems the context of this call was democratic governors such as beshear trying to push senators to do more to obstruct the trump administration in its efforts. he specifically says they should focus more on the lack of material efforts to improve the lives of the american people by the trump admin, rather than a “desecration of american democracy”.

    in that light, i think the tone of the quoted section is more sympathetic, that the american people ‘will’ have to deal with the harms of trumps admin, in order to be more conscientious of how they vote in the future.

    i think he still misses the mark in that not only do the democrats need to point out the material harms, they need to present efforts of material gains as well. but the tone of the conversation was not governors are trying to inflict maximum harm to their constituents as some sort of ‘revenge’.

      The Republican response was crazy, but I don’t think the implication in posting this is to suggest Beshear was encouraging Democrats to stand aside and allow the Trump admin to run rampant (or worse, exacerbate things themselves), it’s just further evidence that the Dems are still blaming the public and assuming that the whatever the Trump administration succeeds in inflicting on them is a lesson to “vote correctly” next time. There’s no sense of awareness of their own errors.
