This shit is starting to piss me off

The GOP's been systematically dismantling Black Voters rights, and this is also why the GOP has held MOST of the power for the last 25 years, yet... Democrats get the blame.

also, MOST of what needs fixing has to be done at a local level.
Do they really think that when Obama was elected, he would just be able to wave a magic wand, and get all his policies passed?

I am so sick and TIRED of this view, and the media REFUSING to inform people of the truth, and that truth IS...
Since 1995, the GOP held the House for 20 YEARS, out of 25/26 years.

Bill Clinton had 6 YEARS with a GOP House and Senate.

Bush had 6 YEARS with a GOP House and Senate.

Obama got 2 years with a Dem House and Senate, but he needed a Super majority...
as luck would have it, he was so CLOSE to having that Supermajority.... BUT, then Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd got sick... and then died.

So, Obama only got a hand full of days with a supermajority he needed to pass ANY of his agenda, even tho he won in a landslide.
So, Obama and the American people got royally screwed and then.. the Left got pissed at Obama, and sat out 2010, allowing the GOP to amass MORE power, not just winning the House, but by drawing the district lines, gerrymandering the hell out of their districts.
Then... Trump got 2 years with a GOP House and Senate, and only cuz he was so awful... Dems managed to get the House back, but the Senate will NOT be so easy.
So, Let's recap:

since 1995/ 25 years

Clinton GOP House and Senate 6 years
Bush GOP House and Senate 6 years

Obama Dem House and Senate 2 years

Trump GOP House and Senate 2 years.

and, the LEFT and others wonder WHY there's been NO real progress?
But, HEY.... if FDR could pass the New Deal... why can't Democrats get anything sone?

Maybe because in 25 years, only 2 YEARS Democratic House and Senate was given to a Democratic POTUS.

FDR, had 12 years with roughly 70% Dem House and Senate: https://twitter.com/JustAGurLnSwedn/status/1193743788457549824?s=20
sorry, I meant to post this link, still, think about that, Dems got 2 years with a Dem POTUS and Dem Congress, but we still got screwed, cuz we needed a Supermajority.

GOP got 8 years with a GOP POTUS and Congressional House/ Senate majority. https://twitter.com/JustAGurLnSwedn/status/1234683421953122305?s=20
But, Democrats still keep getting the blame, because this is the information that is MISSING from all the Debates.

Can we please STOP blaming Democrats for not holding all the power?

Democrats have been TRYING to help the most vulnerable, while the GOP screws them.
It's time for somebody to just come out and say it...

The Democrats have NOT let you down, YOU let the Democrats down.

When 18-29 year olds FAIL to vote they are letting themselves down, they are letting the country down.

They are letting the Democrats down.
They listen to slick good looking young new Senator, who pushes a BUMPERSTICKER Slogan... the Green New Deal.

They listen to the OLD Hippie who's been in government for 40 years, but is still dreaming of "Taking Down the Man"
Yet, what they fail to do, is actually WORK to make their lives better, and all it would take is them getting off their asses and VOTING.

It really is that simple.

Hell, they could NOT even get out to vote for Bernie, you know, the most LOVED man of all time.
They blame Democrats cuz their has been no progress

They love to claim we LOVE INCREMENTAL Change.

Dems are the party of Wall St, they don't care about main street.

Democrats are Centrist, Dems are Corporatists.

That is just bullshit!!!
It's NOT because we LOVE incremental change.

It's NOT cuz Democrats are the same as Republicans

It's NOT cuz Democrats don't care.

It's that the Left and young don't care enough to show up and help the Democratic POTUS's, so they can enact the policies you voted them in for.
Since 1995

25 years
we've ONLY given EACH Democratic President 2 YEARS with a House and Senate Majority.

The GOP held the House, for 20 out of 25 years

6 yrs under Clinton
6 yrs under Obama

and 6 years under Bush

Still want to know why we've had no progress?
Yes, people still have the nerve to bitch cuz the Democrats have NOT done enough for them.

This is getting so ridiculous.
Yet, they still want to blame the Democrats for the slow progress.

If they really wanted change, it would be so easy....
Left Wing Voters, the answer is so simle.

In the elegant words of John F. Kennedy

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

VOTE!!!!

VOTE in every fucking election you can find.

Stop demanding perfection!

THAT's how you get change!
The Left talks about the New Deal

The Democrats had a HUGE majority in the House and Senate, and they kept it for that 12 yrs.

You give Democrats a majority like that in the House and Senate for 8 years under a Democratic President and do it consistently, and you'll see change
We do that for a few different Democratic Presidential Terms, then the Dems know they can make huge change, cuz they know we'll have their back, and so they can take some chances.

It has to be consistent.

The Conservatives did it for the GOP

Can't we do it for The Country?
I just don't know if people can.

100,000
100k/ THOUSAND people have died, MORE are dying every single day... YET, people are asking Joe Biden what his plans are for their SPECIFIC community.

How about this, if Joe or Hillary was POTUS, 100K people MIGHT still be alive.
again I say:

Left Wing Voters, the answer is so simple.

In the elegant words of John F. Kennedy~

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

VOTE!

VOTE in every fucking election you can find.

THAT'S how you get change, NOT Revolution.
Bernie was busy convincing the YOUNG that Democrats are corrupt.

By the way.. you know who wants you to think that the Democrats are corrupt?

The Republicans

Do you know who wants you think that the Democrats are NOT really that different from the Republicans?

The Republicans
Who wants you to believe that Democrats and Republicans are 2 sides of the same coin?

The Republicans

Who wants you to believe that voting doesn't really matter anyway?

The Republicans

That your vote doesn't really count?

Republicans

Cuz, they have NOTHING to offer
Bernie needed people to believe that the Democrats are just as bad as the GOP, so that he'd be trusted, even though he's done jack shit for 40 years in government.

His record is so bad, he needs to smear the Democrats, cuz it's the ONLY way he can win.

He poisoned young minds.
Bernie created a monster with his bullshit smears and purity politics, and now he can't put the genie back in the bottle.... and now we have people like Charlamagene, in one of the most important elections of our lifetime, acting like a Bernie Bro... WTF?
Hey, Charlamagene,

I changed it up a bit, sampled it, as it were.

"Ask not what your Democratic President can do for you, ask what you can do for your Democratic President."

Give Joe a massive Congressional Majority.

That is how you'll see change on a monumental level.
STOP asking what the Democrats will do for YOU... start taking actions and making sure the Democrats have the TOOLS to get everybody what they want and need.

If we gave a Democratic POTUS a Democratic 70% majority congress for a good 8 years plus.. you would see EPIC change.
It really is that simple.

So, while 2k Americans a day are dying, instead of asking what Joe will do for YOUR community... or for MY community... how about we act like we are ONE community, and get Joe that fucking MAJORITY, so he can make the REAL change we need.
This is the ONLY way to get the most vulnerable communities the help they really need, a plan is NOT shit, unless we actually win, and less we have a Democratic House and Senate to pass those spectacular plans.
PS:

The LEFT loves to sit by and point the fingers... Look, Obama was a Centrist, he didn't do anything for the people.

Dems are Corporatists.

They did this in the year 2000, with Al Gore.

They did it to John Kerry.

they came out for Obama, then in 2010, screwed him...
They screwed Obama, cuz he didn't have the majority he needed, so what did they do?

they sat out in 2010, and let the GOP take over the House..

Every time they do this, it sets us back YEARS... so, no matter what policies Dems come with, it will NEVER be enough.
When they join us, we win BIG... but, then if things don't happen on their time table, they make the Democrats pay, making the country pay... screwing themselves in the process.

They did it again in 2016.

and, now... even as people are dying, threatening to do it again.
If the Left got off their asses, and had a little patience and learned how American government actually works, and voted in HUGE numbers instead of making stupid accusations and pointing fingers trying to prove a stupid point, we might actually get that single payer healthcare.
But, they actually have to shut up and put up... and VOTE...

That is all it would take, to get the change they LOVE to talk about, that Bernie has never been able to achieve.

It just takes working with people that you might not find perfect, that is how the GOP did it.
It's time for the LEFT to start acting like they are smarter than the Conservatives, and acting like they really want that change they talk about.

Your vote is NOT supposed to be used as a barometer of your wholesomeness and purity

it's a STRATEGY, to eventually get PROGRESS
Progress is NOT about passing a New Deal in ONE year... it is about taking steps forward, even if they are small steps, and waiting and waiting until it is time to take that HUGE step, so you can make the country a much better place.

Each small step is progress and positive.
yes, sometimes you have to compromise.. it is NOT compromising your values... it's knowing that if you take this tiny step forward, that progress will be on the horizon, and will be achievable.

Sometimes you won't get all you want all at once, that is OK.
as long as Democrats are trying to move things in the direction you want, that should be enough, stop acting like if it's NOT perfect it's NOT worth it.

If they has stopped doing that in 2000, we would have addressed Climate Change, and it would not be an emergency now.
This is the reality we have had to live with, the consequences of the FAR Lefts actions. https://twitter.com/JustAGurLnSwedn/status/1015429499914276871
Now, with Hillary

Hillary wasn't Liberal enough, so they helped Trump get elected, and now people are DEAD.

Those are the consequences of the FAR Left and their purity.

People dead from a war Bush started.

People dying from Global Warming.

People now dying in a pandemic.
I'd also like to add:

You know why those countries NEEDED Revolutions?

Cuz, they were NOT Democracies and couldn't vote to get the change they needed, they had no choice, that's not true in the USA.

Revolution in a democracy is stupid
NO need to revolt, you just need to VOTE.
