I just don’t think anyone is buying this shit anymore. You can’t keep telling people “vote or you’ll die,” letting 80,000+ die monthly just from one thing alone, then say “vote or you’ll die” again to them.

Like, the jig is up. Y’all said “vote or die” for this dude & he’s presiding over more Covid deaths than Trump did PRE-vaccine!! Y’all got both houses of Congress and say “we can’t raise the minimum wage, protect abortion, or even protect the vote…

…we can’t pass BBB or pack the court or get home tests or plan for a winter surge.” To y’all, “vote like the future of our democracy depends upon it” = “vote so we can keep the filibuster, refuse to cancel student debt we said we would, + enable ending voting/abortion rights.”

😂😭

Forget Lucy and the football — this is the Dems’ plan for beating Covid and keeping the Congress if they just keep governing as they have been

If the Democrats cared about the future of Democracy, they’d end the anti-Democratic filibuster + pack that anti-Democratic court with enough judges so that the Senate & SCOTUS would rule & legislate to reflect the will of the ppl & the functioning of democracy

H/t @harrysiegel

Like, do the Democrats think they can win just by saying it's us or the death of democracy? When failing to deliver on student debt relief, the climate, abortion, voting rights or a minimum wage unchanged for 12 years while already in the majority?

Also, how is this "news"? What else is she going to say? If she read her party or her husband or Biden to filth, THAT would be news. Why is a mundane, predictable statement news? I'll never understand "news judgment."

Fair. At the same time, the MASSIVE economic toll Covid has had on the working class + inflation, costs for masks and tests, seeing the rich get richer, more ppl unionizing & resigning bc of what they've experienced—can macro gains counter this?

I feel this. It's like the Democrats keep saying "It's on you to let us govern. But don't expect us to govern! Then it's back on you to let us govern again, so we can not govern!"
