All right, Democrats. Are you awake NOW??? [View all] hamsterjill Sep 2021 OP

Yes it is time to face reality. Irish_Dem Sep 2021 #1

Absolutely. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #8

We now know they are ruthless sociopaths who will kill their own base for political gain. Irish_Dem Sep 2021 #11

killing their own base seems a bit counterproductive RussBLib Sep 2021 #23

Once they win they don't even need a base to continue minority rule. Check the Pinochet model. ancianita Sep 2021 #37

Exactly! StarryNite Sep 2021 #39

Another "exactly". hamsterjill Sep 2021 #57

We are heading to minority rule. They don't need their base. Irish_Dem Sep 2021 #75

The GOP will just cheat to win, they figure they don't need real votes. Irish_Dem Sep 2021 #45

People will only wake up when it is too late: first the came...then they came for me. olegramps Sep 2021 #65

Yes we are heading for China, Russia, Taliban, North Korea style of governing. Irish_Dem Sep 2021 #77

The GQP also has a plan to ensure they "win" FoxNewsSucks Sep 2021 #2

Agreed. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #9

I would remove the part in your post attacking Democrats. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #20

What attacks Democrats? FoxNewsSucks Sep 2021 #22

S1 is not likely to pass. And I know this is likely a veiled attack on Manchin and Sinema. but I Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #34

I see no point in sitting back and allowing FoxNewsSucks Sep 2021 #36

So you think after taking a big majority on the courts, they need our permission? Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #90

No, that's not the root of the problem at all. FoxNewsSucks Sep 2021 #113

I've heard that argument before as well. sdfernando Sep 2021 #53

Maybe he will and maybe he won't. But he didn't after Trump was elected. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #91

If people stay silent, that won't help us either. calimary Sep 2021 #60

Yeah...true that. But you know people message voted in 10 and we lost the House, next we lost Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #88

Yep. Vote BLUE, No Matter Who. calimary Sep 2021 #134

No, people from other states will not be subject to lawsuits. DemocraticPatriot Sep 2021 #139

Your post was fine. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #58

Yes it does, and that response is certainly predictable. FoxNewsSucks Sep 2021 #110

You've noticed that, as well? hamsterjill Sep 2021 #111

I don't see any attack on Democeats. ShazzieB Sep 2021 #54

Rachel Maddow explained this in the clearest terms last night on her show. Nightmare scenario! FM123 Sep 2021 #3

Fight for everyone!!! hamsterjill Sep 2021 #10

You are so right, this is the time to stand TOGETHER. FM123 Sep 2021 #19

"Vote blue no matter who" gets us only so far. This happened when Democrats have control of the WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2021 #4

Democrats don't have control of Texas FakeNoose Sep 2021 #6

You make my point. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2021 #7

The problem with the courts is because we lost a national election-2016 . Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #16

The problem with SCOTUS is that Dems lost the national election. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2021 #26

We would not have a right wing supreme court had we won in 16...unfortunately, Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #29

Great post!!! hamsterjill Sep 2021 #12

Democrats can't fight this in Texas as they don't have control. Thus some national plan must be Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #18

Democrats have no choice but to fight this in Texas. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #24

And they will lose in Texas...the reason no one runs as the seats are gerrymandered and it is Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #27

Are you snarking at me? hamsterjill Sep 2021 #30

You won't get people to run if they have no chance of winning the election. It is expensive. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #92

We had a good Democrat running in my district the past two elections--and lost both times. Lonestarblue Sep 2021 #59

That is my point. We can scream and yell about winning elections. But the system in Texas is Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #93

'Vote blue no matter who' gets us only so far'...well it seems to me Hillary losing the election Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #17

I'm pretty confident, everyone here turns out to vote Democratic every election cycle... Omnipresent Sep 2021 #5

My personal opinion hamsterjill Sep 2021 #13

What Democratic principles are referring to? Except for the trolls, DU is committed to Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #15

Try phone banking. Get in touch with your county's wnylib Sep 2021 #85

And what exactly are we supposed to do? In 2016, we gave away the courts...you think Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #14

Appreciate your answer. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #21

I hope it is not too late. We need someone like Dean at the DNC first of all. We should not treat Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #102

I agree with everything you say...thought I answered this already...ah well may have not hit Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #108

Yes. Protest. Demonstrate. Boycott. Vote. Form an underground. nolabear Sep 2021 #28

+1000 hamsterjill Sep 2021 #64

I appreciate your sentiment. But this is not the 60's. It won't work. I am not saying no action Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #97

Thanks... Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #107

Sounds as though you're finding it hard to believe in the power of the people. nolabear Sep 2021 #117

its up to the women of texas now.. to withold all sex from men until this is fixed.. samnsara Sep 2021 #25

Well, I'm doing my part!!!! hamsterjill Sep 2021 #31

Do you live in Texas? MineralMan Sep 2021 #95

Yes, I've lived in Texas my whole life. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #109

what kind of outdated thinking is that? Skittles Sep 2021 #132

Why are we living under Minority Rule? WTF? spanone Sep 2021 #32

Such a great question!!!! hamsterjill Sep 2021 #33

Yes, just like 2018 was targeted treestar Sep 2021 #35

Where the hell is Merrick Garland in all of this? infullview Sep 2021 #38

Not only aren't people being held accountable, gab13by13 Sep 2021 #44

GREAT question!!! hamsterjill Sep 2021 #61

It's shocking to me that the backlash is so small. Even the top headline in the NYT is about Politicub Sep 2021 #40

Shocking to me, as well. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #67

+1 berniesandersmittens Sep 2021 #118

The only thing that matters is passing S1. gab13by13 Sep 2021 #42

Agreed ........ turbinetree Sep 2021 #131

Which "sleeping" Democrats are you talking to? NurseJackie Sep 2021 #49

Complacent! Why don't Democrats stop all the bad things! betsuni Sep 2021 #62

You got it. (I didn't think my response was too cryptic to understand.) NurseJackie Sep 2021 #76

From my post in whole, this is what you question? hamsterjill Sep 2021 #73

Yes. Absolutely! That's what I question. It's a flawed premise and it's insulting... NurseJackie Sep 2021 #80

Do you know how many times? hamsterjill Sep 2021 #82

That's a very broad brush you're using to insult people. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #83

No one else here is insulted. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #84

That logic is equally flawed. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #87

I think that's a great deal of over reach. hamsterjill Sep 2021 #101

No, the "over reach" is finding fault with people who aren't at fault. NurseJackie Sep 2021 #103

I am. betsuni Sep 2021 #105

It doesn't offend me! StarryNite Sep 2021 #104

Thanks, Starry! hamsterjill Sep 2021 #106
