Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

    Okay but if you don’t remove 20 Republicans then it still accomplishes nothing. 67 Senators needed to remove Trump from office.

      … are you seriously implying that any gains the party makes are pointless if they don’t hit the 2/3rds threshold?

      I’d sit this one out if I were you, take the time to brush up on politics and critical thinking.

        On the topic of Impeachment, yes, it means fuck all to primary these congressmen over not holding a silly ritual with no real consequences.

        Ditto for anything that requires a constitutional amendment or defeating filibuster like undoing citizens united or passing medical for all. We need to Remove the GOP, not just get better DNC.

          “A silly ritual with no real consequences”

          … aside from

          • doing their sworn duty
          • showing the people they still care and are trying
          • paper trail of accusations, arguments, etc
          • VOTES - you get to see how everyone voted, which helps generally with ads during election time, and specifically when it comes time to hold sedition trials on all these Nazi collaborators.

          Again, you’re another person who needs some lessons on politics and procedure before commenting.

          Note: my bad, you’re still the same under educated, unqualified commenter as before.

            • doing their sworn duty to get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator
            • showing the people they still care and are trying to get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator
            • paper trail of accusations, arguments, etc which exist whether or not they get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator
            • VOTES - you get to see how everyone voted on whether or not to get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator, which helps generally with ads during election time, and specifically when it comes time to hold sedition trials on all these Nazi collaborators after the GOP are reduced to an extreme minority of congress.

          Ah so you’ve just been trolling this whole time and don’t actually have the worst take on literally every subject.

            Do any of your replies ever have anything to do with the comment above them?

            Heres some takes you can feel free to publicly disagree with:

            Dictatorships are an offense to humanity and the largest threat to our future.

            All people deserve opportunity for happiness and prosperity regardless of socioeconomic or ethnic background.

            We should tax the rich such that billionaires don’t exist.

            Reform should be the only goal of incarceration, which means providing the needs of inmates to accomplish that. Private Prisons should not exist.

              When you say “racism is bad” or stuff like this to show how moderate you are, nobody disagrees with you. But then your dig in your heels about absolutely absurd bullshit.

              You’re expecting people to give each comment the benefit of the doubt. Lemmy is small and you’ve made a reputation for yourself.

                I’m sorry that you don’t agree that being against racism is a progressive stance.

                Sorry but not surprised. Pretty standard for you Tankies.
