Agreed. Cuz they're pussies, and always will be pussies. They're afraid of shaking things up or hurting any feelings, when the people who's feelings would be "hurt" by them literally want to string them all up in a plaza while chanting Trump won.

practicality. they know (and are correct) that if they push too hard they lose more moderates to the right than they gain from the left.
they can definitely do more. but anyone who thinks an AOC agenda is getting passed without an immediate flood of republicans into congress is out of their damn mind. just look at the reaction to Obama, and he was barely a moderate. and only really pushed for one piece of legislation, and a compromise piece at that. edit: they do actually have one play this time, though. get a Voting Rights Amendment to the States, with no time limit. but they need to get on it yesterday. --- Boom!

"Republicans are really threatening our right to vote, so show them up by voting harder!"
How many Dems can look at that as a valid strategy just shows they don't care about shit and just expect the people to always come out and vote for them no matter what. It's not going to continue being a winning strategy when states like Texas and Florida are doing their damnedest to keep those states from turning purple. --- Super Bowl 52 Champions!!!! http://myanimelist.net/animelist/NinjaWarrior457 ...

Its why the democrat strategy of if we lose this time democracy will die almost never works unless the republicans are currently playing their fiddle a little too loudly while everything burns. Less and less people believe it every time because far too often when they do get majorities, nothing much happens and what does is marred by either savage infighting or self sabatoge to attempt to please the right

Their identities as career politicians depend on there being a continual stream of problems the other side either doesnt think are important enough to tackle or doesnt want to tackle. If they actually solved these problems, theyd need to come up with new platforms each year and might lose votes from people whove already had their problems solved.
Its much easier and lucrative to career politicians to just leave problems alone as long as you can. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Democrats don't actually want to fight. They want to make it look like they're fighting, like they're the only ones pushing for progressive change, only to fumble the ball at the 5 yard line. It's the same thing with Democrats nixing the Public Option at the start of ACA talks, even though they controlled Congress and the White House.

God damn you, Joe LiebermanIt wasn't him, actually: it was Max Baucus, the guy Obama chose to write the Senate bill. Baucus was a long-time industry ally. The public option only ever existed in the House version, but it was never going to happen because Obama was working with the health insurance lobby from day one. God, what a damned waste Obama was. Not only did he do very little good, but he managed to push Biden across the finish line to insure nothing would get done that might trouble his fellow plutocrats. --- She/her ...

This isn't some bothsides bullshit though, the GOP are fascists through and through. Which is scarier because it's exactly how Weimar died, the people in the center were more willing to work with fascists to preserve the status quo because they benefited from it. They didn't realize till they got thrown into camps or killed that fascists never negotiate or operate in good faith. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire ...
