They're too scared to take the car keys away from grandpa
These are the guys who are supposed to stop Trump from going after trans peoples according to liberals. 
(They sure as fuck do not 
)
that rep is out there collecting donations right now
once there were democrats in the streams in the mountains
Perhaps in the Democratic Party's destruction it will at last be possible to see how it was made
please fuck my wife
We have the best cucks don't we folks
sucker libs who believed the PROJECT TWANKY TWANKY FIVE fear mongering in fucking shambles right now
voting for democrats will not fucking save you, liberals, figure it the fuck out
Still 4 months till the elections. Still plenty of time for Trump to say some truely unhinged shut. Still time to replace Biden.
Dems: Ah well, nevertheless
This is what happens when your whole party is conflict averse PMCs, they cannot conceive of facing the fire or campaigning onward like nothing's happened, because they back down at the first sight of the right's finger-wagging and bad faith condemnations. They only know how to slink away from a barking dog, and can't conceive of barking back so loudly that the other dog is cowed.
It's also why I think it was a mistake for Dems since Clinton to basically jettison any tone of gruffness or indelicacy from their party to triangulate against Trump. The older, mostly-white "based libs" like Ron Perlman who attacked Trump from a place of righteous-if-somewhat-problematic rage were the best answer to people like Trump.
There are lots of people who aren't polished enough to graduate to the effete heights of the party who have the earned wisdom and life experience that could deal with a fancy lad like Trump. Get Sean O'Gaelicpotato or whatever his name is, that union boss, to publicly bully him and make Trump look like a wimp.
The problem is the Democrats, just like the Republicans before the MAGA era, are a party of urbane elites. For every Marjorie Taylor Greene or former child killing Navy SEAL with a R next to their name there's some geriatric Ivy Leaguer who frets over which pair of cufflinks to wear to brunch voted in by the same MAGA hogs because they profess to hate "The Genders" and pledge to prosecute people who burn the flag.
Fucking lanyards, defeat means nothing but lost political points to them. All their rhetoric was empty, all their "Trump is a fascist" posturing meant nothing.
On the other hand, the Dems have abandoned every minority or oppressed class in the USA. Like Rome when it left Britannia, it has buggered off and told them "look to you own defense". It is our job to step in as Arthur.
The time is ripe to build dual power in a way that even BLM and COVID were only training sessions for.
Absolutely pathetic. Literally the easiest spin ever "Trump himself is a victim of the culture that he creates". I could pretend to be a lib and pull something from this.
I'm saving this for anytime a 
evangelist comes in here. Even the people they're ing for don't believe in any of this shit.
democrats feel such relief right now, like a snow day and school is canceled
"Trump's calls for violence came back to bite him. Oh no, they're blaming us. Oh no, we gotta stop being mean!"
Is Trump a quasi-fascist genocidal freak (he is) or not? Does he intend to sign executive orders and push for legislation to kill, directly or indirectly, marginalized minorities? (He does)
Then you continue saying that, and if the consequences of his words come for him, that's on him. Calling Hitler Hitler isn't the problem... Hitler is the problem.
All of this is somewhat rendered moot when the alternative is also just Hitler, but, pretending that isn't the case for rhetorical reasons.
Fucking loooooooooser party.
Listen, you have to
Also do nothing else, and we're not going to win the
This is the 'most important election of our lives?' The careerist ghouls I'm supposed to back are out here treating it like it's an exhibition game
proving once again that they don't actually give a shit because they know it won't affect them
The whole party deserves the wall.
let's not forget how much their funding will improve with that. they absolutely know it lol
We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.
I know exactly this type of guy, he loves stopping you and trying to add nuance when you suggest any voters might just be stupid. He also loves pointing out new problems Democrats have with reaching out to voters and expect to be rewarded with nods by the people listening to him, while never ever taking a stab at making a concrete messaging plan of his own.
