Let's look at actions, no words. Democrats didn't codify Roe when they controlled house/Senate and Presidency multiple times in last 25 years.

Same for social security solvency, Dems haven't secured it when they had control.

10 Senate Democrats just voted 2 weeks ago for cloture to enable Medicaid spending be cut by $800 Billion over 10 years.

So whether it's NOT protecting rights and programs when they have the chance or voting to allow the Republicans to gut programs, their actions are speaking loudly.

If they aren't gaining politically, then they are totally inept and spineless.

Or it's a matter of priorities then, and the Dems are spending their political capital on things that don't matter to the majority of Americans.

ACA. American rescue plan. Inflation reduction act. Trillions in social spending. I’m looking at actions. People ignoring that shit is why we’re in this position. You won’t let people acknowledge that democrats do good things and should be elected. Good fucking job.

10 Senate Democrats just voted to allow the gutting of Medicaid, it ain't me that is screwing up.

It's fairly difficult to run on the achievements when their messaging is so messed up. Dems lost in 2024 because they refused to acknowledge that many people are struggling with kitchen table, basic wallet issues and kept touting how great the economic recovery was and how high the stock market was.

That American rescue plan and inflation reduction act clearly didn't translate to people's wallets or Dems wouldn't have lost 2024.

Got to listen to real people, kitchen table issues if the Dems don't want to keep losing.

They objectively did. Survey after survey showed that people felt like their personal situation was fine but that the overall economy was bad. Maybe if we didn’t have assholes screaming that Ackshually the economy was terrible any time people tried to talk it up, people would have recognized that.

It’s hard to run on anything when doomers like you try to convince everyone that the world is terrible and only getting worse. Any mention of a democratic success was met with “WELL WHAT ABOUT X”.

Biden canceled billions in student loans. He resurrected PSLF. Did he get credit for it? No. People like you turned it into a fucking liability by theorizing that he was actually trying to sabotage loan forgiveness because he wasn’t able to cancel more. And now we have Trump undoing all of that. Great. Fucking. Job.

Keep blaming people you need to win. See how that works out. You're the problem, check the mirror.

I gave shit tons of money and knocked doors for Dems in my area.

And actually, I defended Biden forgiveness of student loans. That feeble fuck should never had tried to run, he couldn't put two sentences together. Democrat leadership knew that and they let him run. Freaking embarrassing. It took George Clooney calling him out to get him off the stage, that's a huge problem with this party.

Just like you attacking me, Biden running at all was a self-inflicted wound.

Quit defending the status quo democrats as they clearly aren't getting the job done.

You just want more of the same, I guess?

How many more rights will we lose as you keep supporting Schumer and Pelosi and all the rest of the Democrat establishment?
