Girl, I don’t care about Cisneros one way or another. She lost. She’s irrelevant. Like Nina Turner and Conor Lamb. The difference is that rather than accepting election results, the left develops hate boners and peddles in conspiracies whenever their chosen candidates lose. 
 

 

 

 

Such stupid, childish, ungracious sore losers. 
 

Maybe one day they’ll be able to connect their “voting doesn’t work” rhetoric to their own losses.  

Conspiracies? Why are you acting like Pelosi and Clyburn DIDN’T go out of their way to stump for and record robocalls to help an anti-choice Democrat? Nothing they said was inaccurate.  

[Communion]

Centrists: "WELL IF YOU WANT THOSE THINGS, RUN FOR OFFICE! HELP BE THE CHANGE!"

 

Young people: *run for office*

 

Centrists: *call them terrorists, whores, liars, grifters, spoiled, welfare queens, criminals*

 

And then they wonder why Biden's in the situation he is in.

“CoNsPiRaCiEs!” like the complete truth of Democrats violently hating anyone left of center and using every dollar in their war chests (fundraised off of promises about healthcare and wages that they never intended to keep) to mislead millions of voters against their own interests

I literally had a K-Hiver/Shontel Brown stan tweet at me that Henry Cuellar was not pro-life and that he had a 100% NARAL rating. The 100% was actually for National Right to Life Committee, but you just know that they've been going around gaslighting people into believing Cuellar was actually pro-choice and that it's a leftist lie to smear him.

No, actually. Pelosi and Clyburn did NOT have to “go out of their way” to do what they do every election cycle: back their members. You know, the ones who have already WON elections that put them in their seats?
 

What a crock of ****. 

 

No one’s going to deploy resources to weigh in on primaries across 400+ districts with their own distinctive politics. All to make sure that AOC approves of them.  And the worst part is, we’ve had this EXACT conversation before. What is wrong with ya’ll? 
 

Cuellar has zero impact, zero, on reproductive rights in America. Him being “pro-life” is irrelevant. It has as much relevance as Susan Collins being pro-choice.

If the Democrats hold the House at all, it'll be by the slimmest of margins, and Henry Cuellar could be the deciding vote. What part of that isn't clicking for you?

Henry Cueller might just be the next Manchin on the issue of abortion. They barely keep the House. Try to pass abortion rights. Cueller votes it down. What does Pelosi do? Sends fundraising emails about how we all need to “get out there and vote blue” and how we should “donate $15” to pass abortion rights. “Wanting” to fight for abortion rights raises more money than just fighting for them, duh.

The part where his primary opponent has never won an election. So if we’re talking about keeping the House… the first priority is to win. 

 

What part of THAT is not clicking? 

[Ms. Togekiss]

Seeing as Dems will rightfully lose the House, Senate, and the White House, are there any Justices that are close to… you know, that could potentially push the court further right?

Many other Democrats would make formidable candidates, too. In my view, the party would be best off if a broad coalition of leading Democrats and liberals — such as Biden, Harris, Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — came together, say, in January 2023 to jointly urge the voters to get behind a ticket of Sens. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) and Cory Booker (N.J.). Such a ticket would satisfy Democrats’ desire for representation of women and people of color and likely appeal to swing voters while being acceptable to the party’s left wing.

Sotomayor is a type 1 diabetic so she’s on borrowed time imo.

 

Kagan and KBJ have a good 30+ years on them each.

Cuellar is going to lose. RGV Latinos are revolting against the conservadems cause they’re offering ******* nothing.

 

Again. You’re not keeping the House. You’re looking to lose at least 40 seats the way things are going, and abortion rights tanking on Biden’s watch as he pledges to not add court seats and pledges his fealty to the filibuster isn’t going to save you

So someone posted tweets from ''Justicedemwatch'' (Thank you for the laugh, the page is hilariously bad) and one of the likes was from someone with this bio

And apparently everybody is revolting against Justice Dems, considering their 92% loss rate.

Don’t over complicate it. It’s not that hard.

 

1. Voting wins elections

2. Winning elections consolidates power

3. Consolidated power allows the party in power to enact their agenda

 

Politics doesn’t end. There’s never going to be an election that wins everything for any side. Republicans were able to survive the collapse of the Whig Party. Democrats were able to recover from the Civil War.

Also, in terms of policy, nothing is set in stone. Roe V Wade was “codified” as a Supreme Court case ruling. It was overturned. The Voting Rights Act was “codified” as legislation. It was overturned.

 

All that matters is who has the power at any given point in time.

[Mike91]

I see the centrist PR campaign is out in full force again now that some people are finally realizing that centrist complacency over the decades is what lead us to this moment.

But do Republicans deserve to control the whole congress? In my opinion, no, never! Sometimes it feels like some people here just want to see the country burn.

It certainly would… get a reaction from the left.
