Oh they've been wasted in the back of this party bus for a while telling everyone to calm down and stop being so frantic and everything's fine.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It would have been nice if Democrats were in a position but we're in a death spiral of articles like this being critical of them so fat fuck chance of ever winning another election.

The Dems fielded a candidate with potential, in a binary race against the absolute worst candidate ever.
Voters chose a felon with a pattern of grifting and lies.
Those are facts.
Here's the opinion: stop blaming the party for the people's mistake. Just secede and be done with it.

How dare you say that on Lemmy, or Reddit for that matter! Democrats and liberal ideology can do NO WRONG in these parts!

I think the democrats are applying the age old adage: "Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake."
Or they could be in the minority in both house, senate, SCOTUS, and white house and they can't do shit besides filibuster and sue.

Looking for leadership from the current elected officials is probably a waste of time. We need to take a tip from Republicans and find leaders outside of the government. Like Rush and Tuckers of the left.
Do we even have any of those? Notwithstanding the thought makes me sick. Rush was a lying, pompous, bloviating pedophile. Tucker is no better, and a Russian asset. These are not examples I'd like us to follow, even if they would be on "our side" whatever that would mean in context.
To be honest, HasanAbi is the only one I know of who is sort of a Rush replacement.
I'm not suggesting we support bad people at all, if that's what you are thinking.
We really should have two major parties committed to upholding the Constitution
ZZzzzzzZZzzzz... Not interested in worshiping your holy fashy scriptures.
Politicians aren't leaders. Stop expecting them to be. They exist to serve the people. If they don't, then give them the boot.
We can't give them the boot for a good while. In the meantime, what would you have us do?

This comment is cringe...
Thinking politicians are meant to lead you is cringe. I'm not a sheep, I don't need to be lead. Their only job is to represent us. Unfortunately, they've been corrupted and only represent the ultra-wealthy.
Always has been.
Incomplete sentence. What always has been?
