Goddamn just not gonna improve shit even a little bit, huh Democrats?
Democrats aiming to lose what little support they have left.
They would prefer to lose everything rather than move Left even a single inch.
And they have spent the last nine years proving that to everyone.
The thing is, when your horse is so high, you tend to overlook those down in the mud. But fear not! When that horse tips over, it’s a long and painful way down for those sitting so high up.
at least they’ll still have liz cheney
Gotta maintain that sweet status quo at all costs.
And by status quo, we mean giving ground to the right year after year.
Political parties in general tend to be extremely hard-headed and reticent to change. It often takes 3 or more elections being lost in the wilderness to get some turnover going.
The US, with its insanely gerrymandered districts, seems especially well positioned to keep the unpopular gerontocracy going as long as possible.
I don’t think US democracy will survive two more Republican presidents.
Elections for the U.S. Senate are every 2 years, with 1/3 of the chamber up at each time and 6 year terms. That means you get 3 elections in 6 years.
