    Dear US Democrats, can you please stop being just a fucking brake for the Republican party, and actually turn the wheel when you have the power?

    Only using the brake will just mean that Republican policies will win even if it takes a bit of time.

    Fire Schumer and show us you’re serious then. Until leadership steps down there’s absolutely no reason to think they’re anything but fucking losers.

      They made it pretty clear after losing to Donald Trump that they wanted to double down on this strategy. They will rather lose than run on a progressive platform.

        That’s because the current “old guard” Democrats/DNC are the boomers who’ve been in power since the 80’s, destruction of the working class, and regulatory capture of the entire party.

        They are a manufactured opposition, owned by the oligarchy and corporations, who do not represent anything material to the 99%.

    I don’t want democrats anymore. There, I said it.

    Seriously, you’re not enough for this old liberal man. I want a safety social net that also protects our lives and every generation to come. I want FREE (paid by taxes) healthcare, education and a working wage with 30 hour weeks. Tax anyone 99% that makes more that 10mil a year. Promote business who have a human benefit purpose. Tax churches that we can prove promote hate, tax corporations that only care about profit… tax items not made to last or be recycled…

    Is time my liberal friends, it’s time we write our own project HUMAN playbook.

    Attack template:

    "This guy/woman, Rep. [insert Repuglican name here], wants you to die!

    Rep. [insert Repuglican name here] voted for you to die, in pain, with no medication!

    Voting for Rep. [insert Repuglican name here] is a vote for you to die in pain!

    Rep. [insert Repuglican name here] wants to kill you!

    You will die in pain and it will be because of Rep. [insert Repuglican name here]!"

    You’re welcome.

    They could run on their own ideas, but they spent the past 4 years (at least) throwing away their credibility.
