    Every strategy from his generation of Democrat boils down to “let’s not do anything.”

    It’s crazy how on-the-nose The Good Place was with the good guy committee. “It’s clear what we need to do: give up all our leverage, and give them whatever they want.”

      I just finished rewatching that show the other day. I was surprised at how well it aged. The Elon Musk insults slapped and it made references to a Trump presidency.

        The Good Place? Classic 80s sitcom The Good Place (TV Series 2016-2020) made references to the 45th President of the United States, Donald John Trump, January 20, 2017 – January 20, 2021? That’s remarkable foresight for a 40 year old tv series.

    The democrats have been saying for over a decade now that the “fever will break”. As if suddenly all those voters will realize they’ve been screwed over by the republicans instead of just digging in harder. Schumer is just the latest schmuck to have the same views. I really hope he gets primaried.

      Right? Conservatives blame “the left” for the things conservatives do to them. Letting them do it only make’s everything worse and worse.

    Still acting like there’s ever going to be a (meaningful) election again.

      If I were a betting man, it’s just Schumer buying time. He knows the party has been cast as paid opposition and just wants a couple more years of straight chilling before he has to run interference for the GOP again.

    What do you mean even the Dem conservatives are accelerationists now?

    I fucking hate this timeline.

    It’s a better plan to just wait and not do shit until 2028. That would make the republicans look even stupider!! Then we laugh at them! Hahaha
