Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    Time for the neoliberal world order to end. Want Republicans to actually be scared of Democrats? Fill the party with socialists.

        …which is the true goal of these “hello there, fellow leftist” bastards who exclusively attack Democrats.

          If they occupy the only space to defeat Trump and they do a bad job at it, of course they get “attacked.”

          If they don’t want to be criticized, they shouldn’t be public figures. If they don’t want to have people have actual reasons to call them out, they shouldn’t have and keep unpopular policies. If they don’t want to represent their people, they shouldn’t be in office.

              Propaganda = criticism

              Got it, don’t call out your favorite team, they’re immune to critcism. Calling them out is woke propaganda. Sources proving them owned by corporations? DEI news Russian media.

                Pretty much. It’s very rare to find a good faith criticism of Democrats on lemmy. All you have to do is ask what they think about Trump, or Russia. Usually you get a deflection, or crickets. Or [removed by mod]. Not allowed to criticize Dear Leader, only Democrats.

      Sounds great. But maybe you should get out of your bubble every now and then to realize that a party full of open socialists would 100% fail in the US.

      I am aware of how popular Bernie’s policy goals are. It does not matter.

        You might be right, but I also submit that, when talking to Trump voters (older family members of me and my friends mostly), instead of “proving them wrong” about Trump, I’ve been redirecting the conversation toward “isn’t all that bad stuff the fault of rich people?”, and it has had a 100% success rate so far. They fucking hate the wealthy too. They ain’t waving the red flag, but I bet a lot more of them would vote for someone just to screw over the rich than most people think.

          Yeah, but it does not matter. They will still vote Republican. At least the people I’m thinking of. I can’t speak for anyone else.
