      I have to point out again that the two "teams" in the United States are not even or symmetrical teams The Republican Party is an embattled minority that, at this point, is essentially a death cult The Democratic Party is just the coalition of *everyone else* not in the culthttps://twitter.com/originalspin/status/1326035654329790464 …

      Ranging from people who have been fervent, principled opponents of the cult their whole lives to people who were literally in it just five minutes ago but got freaked out when it was a little too real

      The Dems are a party of radical socialist activists standing next to exploitative capitalist douchebags whose only thing they have in common is they're not Republicans, that they aren't committed to this one specific death cult and its mission of glorious fiery apotheosis

      So, like, that's the problem "We", the Democrats, are obviously and unquestionably in the majority But Republicans are in the *plurality* They're bigger than any of the pieces the Democrats fall apart into when they fall apart, which is often

      And likely when you say "we" your "we" isn't the big picture of actually everyone whom you could identify as "the Democrats" Everyone who calls themselves a Democrat actually means a much smaller "we" within the huge mass of people who aren't Republicans

      DSA leftists *aren't* a majority, they're a minority, and so are old school Southern Blue Dogs, and so are the techbro corporate Dems from San Francisco, and so are the older Black voters in the "Black belt" in the South who dominate the Super Tuesday primaries, etc, etc

      That's the situation you're in if you're a Democrat, and in some ways it's a good position -- it is, in fact, better than being in the Republican death cult -- but it's also going to lead you to constant frustrations like this

      It's like being in The Walking Dead, like all the humans clearly actually have deep and valid reasons to fucking hate each other, contradictions they absolutely need to work out if they're ever going to create any functional society But there's these zombies to deal with first

          I genuinely think part of it...I don't think Manchin is doing much beyond posturing. He does the "bipartisan independent" song and dance plenty, but he's never the deciding vote against Dems. If it came to him, he'd probably demand concessions for his state, but...

          Except in the Walking Dead "shoot them till they stop moving then burn them to make sure" is seen as the most valid way to deal with the problem. IRL, it's the zombies who'll shoot and set fires first.

          The problem is that an annoyingly large part of the human leadership, in this scenario, believes the winning strategy is to appeal to the zombies in the hope we can woo some of them to the human side.
