    And if you become skilled at ignoring all the things Democrats actually do when they have power to plausibly act like their rhetoric matches their policy, you can develop that in to lots of Internet points.

    Bill Clinton absolutely bears a huge amount of responsibility for Trump. Both because he helped create the material conditions that made Trump viable, but also because he and Hillary used their influence over the party to stuff every position power from local precincts to the DNC chair with devotees of their Third Way Neoliberal Ghoul politics to ensure the party would never correct course or fix the damage they’d done.

      Look, son, I am way more progressive than you. In fact, I have voted R every single election since I turned 18 to ensure that progressives and socialists come to power.

      These blue maga “neoliberal ghouls” must be defeated by the republicans so true progressives can come into power after the dictatorships and complete collapse.

      It is the only thing that makes sense.

          “Democrats don’t do shit” because their governance is more stable (at least compared to Trump-era Republicans) which means it’s more boring which means stupid people don’t pay attention and then just ASSUME nothing is happening.

            We really needed Bidens presidency to not be boring. He should have been aggressively cleaning house to wipe the insurrectionists out. Instead he sat on his hands while the DOJ pissed around and accomplished nothing. If he’d done his job Trump wouldn’t have been an option for the next election.

        That’s completely incorrect. When Dems are in power they complain… that they don’t have the power to fix anything.

        They also get bent for the MAGAts while putting on a sad face.

          dSee here.

          Progressive stance: We need green energy and electric cars.

          Biden (blue maga) is in power and gas prices go up slightly. Solar and electric car adoption have to be federally incentivized and really don’t pan out.

          Trump (red maga) is in power and he creates conditions that astronomically raise gas prices. Solar and electric are no longer subsidized but adoption is spreading like wildfire.

          They are the same because they both are trying to destroy green energy and electric cars. Blue maga is just dumb enough to incentivize it rather than create terrible market conditions to force the adoption like red maga does.

          Tell me again how these blue maga democrats are progressive. They couldn’t accomplish 15.6% of what red maga accomplished by destroying our energy markets and global economy.

          This is the same with LGBTQ+

          Blue maga, Teacher chooses who is gay and who plays on what gendered team. All the teams suck. People blame DEI.

          Red maga, only raided up boys on boys teams and all other teams are just girls. When all the teams suck, guess what happens? That’s right, ANYONE on the right team based on MERIT and not DEI quotas.

          The way to LGBGTQ+ wins is electing republicans. Proved 200% and shown SCIETIFICALLY!

          We really need to make Americans smart like Prager to get this stuff.

        Last time they were in power they gave tens of millions of americans access to healthcare. You can say it’s nothing because it’s bad access, bad healthcare, it’s bare minimum, and yada yada, but millions of people alive today who wouldn’t otherwise, and that’s not nothing.
