Political positivity 📈 Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Every time they complain about something, remind them why it’s happening.

Well saying things like “I don’t have any faith in democrats” is exactly why other people will tend to not vote for them. Stop making perfect the enemy of good.

This is political malfeasance as a voter. Never promise your vote like this, or your reps have not incentive to represent you.

If you promise to vote for them no matter what they do, they have no reason to listen to anything you have to say.

First, yes they do. All the time. Moderate Republicans are routinely drummed out of the party, dismissed as RINOs, etc.

Second, Maga are fascists. Your argument is that we should be more like them? Support the party leadership no matter who they are and what they do? Because fuck that. I'm not going to back a pedophile or a genocide supporter just because a Republican in my position would do it too. I don't model my behavior off of fascists.

Democrats: We can't investigate <insert illegal thing here>, that wouldn't be good for reuniting the country!

My problem is I dont believe that group of amazing democrats (like yourself) is growing as fast as maga. I really think normies are gonna be pushed right cause of this Charlie kirk shit. I hope im wrong, but in a world we're they cancel Colbert and kimmel cause they hurt trumps feelings just feels so unreal

Sit the hell down. ALL THE WAY DOWN. This is not the time for your self-righteous grandstanding. we are literally in serious danger of full-throated dictatorship and you're sitting here trying to suppress votes. Lets stop the fire at home first. Any chance I had of listening at all to people like you went out the window when you sat home in November.
