Right?! Quanta Oct 19 #1

That's the job for the media, pundits, YouTubers... QueerDuck Oct 19 #2

How about responding to **anything** that Trump does? Orrex Oct 19 #7

LOL 😂🤣 QueerDuck Oct 19 #18

And it's clear that the cheerleaders will always be ready to shield Dems from their responsibility Orrex Oct 19 #20

That is utter crap MorbidButterflyTat Oct 19 #43

Yes, when they respond they're accused of only being reactionary and only "We're not as bad as Trump, vote for us" betsuni Oct 19 #46

"Cheerleaders" means something very different in the current context. Orrex Oct 21 #50

That doesn't exist. "Status quo" is the fantasy that Democrats are corrupt with the same economic policies betsuni Oct 21 #54

Nice try. I'm smarter that I'm being given credit for... QueerDuck Oct 21 #65

What argument? MorbidButterflyTat Oct 21 #68

Here's an interesting view from a famous far-right extremist Orrex Oct 21 #70

Press conferences, million dollar ad buys ... QueerDuck Oct 21 #67

Yes MorbidButterflyTat Oct 21 #69

It's flattering that you imagine me to be capable of such sabotage Orrex Oct 21 #60

You're flattered? Really? Wow. QueerDuck Oct 21 #61

First day on the internet, eh? Orrex Oct 21 #63

Ahh... resorting to personal insults? LOL. QueerDuck Oct 21 #66

What I do know is that Bernie, AOC and Jasmine manage quite well Autumn Oct 19 #14

That message must translate into votes Keepthesoulalive Oct 19 #21

And it does translate into votes. All three are extremely popular Autumn Oct 19 #23

I don't think that was the appropriate thing for the minority leader to say Keepthesoulalive Oct 19 #27

The only things that Republicans have is hatred and pettiness. Autumn Oct 19 #29

Who is leadership working with to resolve Autumn Oct 19 #16

Jeffries was on This Week this morning trying to inform people and put pressure on the Republicans to negotiate. LudwigPastorius Oct 19 #31

We all know the Republicans are not going to negotiate Autumn Oct 19 #33

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that our leaders might use this moment Quanta Oct 19 #12

Thank you. That is was what I was going for. Chasstev365 Oct 19 #17
