Honestly the MAGA crash out has been so amusing, especially locally and online with all of these influencers.

I'm sure Chuck and Hack will see it that way.

“Now, Democrats must deliver,” the progressive senator wrote, urging her party to push Trump to live up to his vow to work with Democrats in the new Congress. “We should force him to do that on the affordability and corruption issues that drove this election—or call his bluff.”

Warren is stating Democrats need to mandate the fuck up and pass the policies, that the American people want, send it on it's way to Trump and the Republicans and dare them to veto it.

The fact that Trump will veto it or that the Republicans won't vote for the override don't matter to Warren and what we progressives have been saying this entire time. Just do it, show you are delivering, and then tell the story loud and proud that you pass the law and Republicans told the American people no, stop giving a fuck about what Republicans will do and just do you.

I will have to say while I did Nat C that coming, it makes sense.

First, you can't just add the percentages from two groups without knowing the raw numbers and call it the total percentage. That's not how percentages work.

Second, my point isn't that corruption was the thing that was driving the vote, it's that it is also a major concern for the Independent voters too. You're looking at the whole group of polled Independent voters who answered 44% said economy, so yes, we agree that the major driver is the economy, no argument here. You also had 28% of them say democracy/corruption was their major driver.

That's not a insignificant percentage.

Source if you want to look at the breakdowns yourself.

So you "should" stop watching and call your own rep to demand they deliver.

I'm sure they'll be that opposition party just like with the Republican budget stop gap?

You literally have a fish called the Iran war that's both driving up gas prices and illegal and should be held responsible. That fish is F'ing huge.

Jefferies and Schumer have both said no to frying that big ass fish.

Well she can always be a handler at the theater.

Hell I'd even be fine following the German SHI system. Just something that would actually provide actual universal coverage and regulate the out of control insurance companies.

Per SRSS voter poll from the election:

Yes, the economy is the biggest thing they had but also coming in second is the state of democracy and corruption was high on the list too.

And as the author stated:

There’s one story that does this better than any other: anti-corruption. To many voters, it is the explanation for why gas costs so much; why inflation endures; why education, housing, and health care have become so expensive; and especially why they feel like they can’t get ahead.

Democratic leadership, if they were smart and effective, would be talking about the war in Iran, ending it, investigating it, hold Republicans responsible for the the war and the prices at the pump, effectively taking care of both issues of the economy and democracy in one go. That would have made those Independents and Demorcrats and Progressives happy.

But no, we didn't get that at all from leadership.

You'd think but then we have Shumer's low energy, self fellating victory speech and Jefferies milquetoast stating that no impeachment was on the table when he knows holding Republicans accountable for things like ICE/Iran war was a big deal for Democrats and Progressives. Hell with the Iran war, he could have simply stated they were going to stop it and investigate it and it would have killed two birds with one stone.

But no, they're just tone deaf AF. I honestly don't understand it either, I think they're just too insulated by consultants, corrupted by money, and listening to their Baily's to understand things.
