Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
The Dems ain’t coming to save us. It’s astounding to me that even in a forum like Lemmy, I’m still having to piece a to b to c for the madding crowd, and being downvoted for my efforts. Just look at the last 30 years.
What have Democrats accomplished, really? Just look at the last four years. Biden could have come out of the blocks on his day/week/month one just like Trump- with a slew of executive orders and tasked decisions already hitting the ground running. But instead he dawdled and pithered about, while Republicans and the SCOTUS went about laying their plans to systematically dismantle America. And every time we needed a quorum of Democrats to actually affect anything, they all scattered like cockroaches in the light. But when Republicans put forth a bill, rest assured there will always be a few opportunistic Dems willing to cross the aisle.
They’re Controlled Opposition. Sure, they may be the best (or only) option we have, but that does not and should not preclude us from viewing their “leadership” with highly critical lenses. Because at this point, they deserve all the criticism coming their way. They have been categorical losers for far too long, and this last election cycle should be catastrophic for Dem leaders, because their actions (or lack thereof) have facilitated a catastrophe for the world. A catastrophe that President Biden ushered in with the utmost decorum. They ain’t comin to save us.
If they don’t get enough votes they won’t have the power to save anybody. So its not up to them, its up to you and people like you. If an additional 1 out of every 15 people in Texas had voted Harris, then Traitorapist Trump would have lost the state of Texas. The one and only chance we have for a massive wave of progress would be for a massive wave of Dems to be elected to positions of power. When that happens, Dems will try to compete against each other to be seen as the most progressive.
