General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: 'You're a mess John Fetterman' [View all]...and you should know it.
It's become childish and self-defeating, like many of the same people insisted their bullshit in the last presidential election was more important than achieving a Democratic majority. they just couldn't keep themselves from tearing down the presidency with their projections; never accounting for how they would get anything they claimed they wanted without a Democratic majority.
Just tear the president down; tear his successor down; all with this childish insistence they be able to criticize the party and try to intimidate the rest of us from that necessary support.
It's all about what they want. And we let this Israel bullshit dominate the forum right before the election. Unprecedented here, but it spilled out as hatred of sitting Democrats. And poeople acted surprised Democrats didn't show up; and the critics just dug in after their cynical deed, blaming people who'd already, repeatedly, FOUGHT AND WON AGAINST ACTUAL REPUBLICANS.
Curious to have these strident calls to dismantle BOTH leaderships at the point where they're likely to get the power and authority to act as people claim they want them to.
All critics have done is advantage their opposition off of the ascendance of republicans as if they can't find an inch of room to support our party leaders.
Both of them fought successfully to attach the health care cuts, and the rising health insurance costs to Americans to the opposition, highlighting republicans refusal to extend the ACA subsidies.
Were YOU fighting and advocating along with them for my and others health care?
Both of them fought successfully to strip DHS funding from the republican budget, organizing their respective memberships to stand firm against funding the murderous and abusive agency.
Were you fighting alongside of them as they defended the thousands of people like me in the country who this government has targeted with their mass deportation scheme?
If not, why not?
I daresay, neither of them have had the notion to attack their own membership and supporters, as Fetterman has,, but rather, have focused their political energy on fighting republicans. Their critics purporting to be speaking for the party, not nearly as much.
Yeah, careful with that permission structure critics have grown accustomed to promoting and building before key elections that encourage people away from supporting Democrats.
That's not what Fetterman is doing here, is it? He's not supporting Democrats, he's attacking us, and openly providing aid and comfort to Trump and the republican agenda.
