1. Debilidad Demócrata y Cesión de Influencia.
Una crítica recurrente es la percepción de que los demócratas, incluso cuando tienen la oportunidad, son reacios o incapaces de utilizar el poder político de manera efectiva, lo que a menudo resulta en la capitulación ante las demandas republicanas.
- Republicans abuse power with ease democrats can barely wield it when they have it.
- This! what ticks me off, is that the dems didnt even give in with power. They didnt use any leverage. They just rolled over.
- In my lifetime, democrats have never had any understanding of power.
- Its the democrats as well. They have power and refuse to use it.
- All this after dem leadership is like were powerless. Theres nothing we can do because were in the minority! this is a situation where they had power,. And they folded.
2. La Búsqueda Implacable de Poder del GOP.
El Partido Republicano es descrito como una entidad que prioriza la adquisición de poder y la ganancia personal (grift) por encima de la gobernanza, la ley o el bienestar de sus constituyentes, utilizando estrategias agresivas y a menudo destructivas.
- The sad thing is this is basically the republican strategy when they are out of power yet somehow democrats just cant find a way to do it.
- Once anyone realizes these simple facts about the gop, everything.everything they do can be seen as moves that perpetuate their power lust. Its always power and grift over helping constituents or doing anything good for society.
- The gop is willing to trash the constitution to further their agenda. When democrats take back power they need to take a long hard look at themselves and have steps in place in case another sociopath takes power.
- Republicans have had their chance and have showed their true intentions aka corruption. They are not going to be anywhere near the levers of power for a long, long time.
- The gop has shown they will not follow the law or the rules of a democracy and must face the consequences.
3. El Dilema de la Rendición de Cuentas Futura.
Existe un profundo escepticismo sobre si los demócratas, al recuperar el poder, tendrán la voluntad de castigar la corrupción y los abusos cometidos por los republicanos, temiendo que opten por la "normalidad" o la reconciliación política.
- I think the worst part of all of this is if republicans do lose power in 2028 the dems are just gonna let them all walk free with zero consequences.
- The lamest part is that democrats wont turn the tables on them ifwhen they get back in power. Theyll just ask mitch mcconnell what to do and wait till he reboots.
- If democrats regain power in 2028, which seems increasingly likely given trumps cratering popularity, they cant do another merrick garland, repeating their past mistake of letting past lawbreaking go unpunished.
- Unfortunately even if the dems ever do regain power, theyve proven themselves to be spineless in enforcing consequences for this type of thing.
- When dems get power back, we absolutely need to salt the earth of the republican party.
4. La Responsabilidad del Votante y la Minoría Demócrata.
Gran parte del debate se centra en la distribución del poder, donde se argumenta que los demócratas no pueden ser culpados por las acciones del GOP cuando son la minoría, y que la solución reside en la participación electoral masiva.
- Dems have zero power - dems are the minority thats because voters. Voting for republicans, or not bothering to vote.
- Republicans are in power in part because the democratic party doesnt know how to sell itself to voters.
- Too bad we didnt have the courage, unity and tenacity to vote democrats a majority last november. We put them in this shitty position. Really doesnt do any good to be yelling at them for not wielding power we didnt give them.
- The democrats dont have the power to reopen the government. It annoys me how folks like to let republicans off the hook literally buy into the narrative.
- Voters gave trump full power. Executive, judicial, senate house here you are pissin on the only party who gave held this democracy full authority for decades against every threat who came at them.
