    It’s like you have absolutely no understanding of how the system actually works, and have chosen to ignore history.

    The GOP is never going to cede one inch to the Dems on anything, ever. Obama picked the ACA plan because it was based on a GOP idea and they fought him tooth and nail until the final vote. Then they turned around and demanded the Supreme Court abolish it.

    The only way you’ll get any change under the current system is to elect a Dem super majority in every election for the next fifty years.

      YOU have chosen to ignore history. And how typically in authoritarian takeovers, the first step to fighting the takeover is to abandon the captured opposition party and to start fresh with something new. A popular front is usually needed to defeat them. Authoritarians often let toothless opposition parties continue to operate. And there are always blind fools like yourself who insist that they must be supported, though they are just another tool of the autocrat.

      The only way you’ll get any change under the current system is to elect a Dem super majority in every election for the next fifty years.

      This shows you are not a serious person. If that is your solution, then I can only conclude that you actually support Trump and the Fascist party.

      Democrats are not a real opposition party. They are the potemkin opposition, fully captured by the Fascists.

        So, what exactly is your plan for the 2026 election?

        How exactly are you going to counter Trump?

        Be specific and provide as many details as possible.

              It’s your attitude and it’s as obvious as a zit on your nose. Nobody here owes you anything, and you’ve been treated with kid gloves by some very kind, intelligent people. I am neither of those things. Sit down, shut up, listen, and maybe learn something.

                That’s my original comment, the one that has you in such a tizzy.

                I use a loaded word like ‘tizzy’ because what you wrote makes no objective sense.

                I asked to hear a plan and was told that I was acting in ‘bad faith.’

                And now you tell me to ‘listen’

                Is there any point where I’ll hear the plan?

                Because I really want to hear this plan.

                  I’m not going to waste my breath re explaining what smart people already have. Read their comments, touch grass, and maybe go volunteer.

                    If there’d been an actual plan posted you’d have cut and pasted it to show me up.

                    And when you say ‘waste my breath’ it sounds like you need AI tech to transcribe your words because you can’t figure out typing.

                    But I do agree with your original comment, where you say you aren’t intelligent.

                    … some very kind, intelligent people. I am neither of those things.

                    That’s quite a self own.

      Pot meet kettle. A Dem supermajority means nothing when they do nothing but play controlled opposition.
