I never said they do. I just don’t think this is the time to overhaul the whole system when the first priority should be to steady the ship.
You can’t fix things if you’re just struggling to stay afloat. Fixing things requires a certain level of stability.
“I just don’t think this is the time to overhaul the whole system”
how do you contend encouraging political stability overhauling the system?
"the first priority should be to steady the ship.
steadying the ship is literally what this protest is about, providing stability while the executive branch is trying to conquer and invalidate the judicial and legislative.branches.
“You can’t fix things if you’re just struggling to stay afloat.”
yes you can. That’s what SOS calls, bilge pumps, pontoons, tar, patches and welds are for, to fix problens on boats.
you’re advocating to give up and sink when you can repair things.
ridiculous.
“Fixing things requires a certain level of stability.”
the necessary level of stability is far below what you clearly misunderstand.
We have that stability, what we need is political, legal and judicial actions liked the ones happening every day now fighting against the executive branch.
The literal nationwide protests by tens of thousands of citizens, judges, politicians and lawyers
constitute that saving grace.
Liberals have had over eight years to steady the ship, and they’ve spent that time alienating marginalized people and progressives and going farther and farther right with afaik no real resistance to trump. They’ve spent those eight years proving that we can’t trust them at all to stop fascism or repair its damage. We should probably be pushing progressive democrats to start a new party with other more left people (though I’d fully expect republicans and the remaining democrats to team up and destroy their campaign so idk)
Just in that one comment alone you’ve mentioned the liberals, the marginalised, the progressives, the fascists, the republicans, and the democrats.
And that’s why I’m apprehensive that adding another noun in that list is going to make things better… the left needs to consolidate to a new centre for the left, not fracture into another direction that delays consolidation further.

So when is the time? The midterms? The presidential election?
Reforming the democrats in four easy steps:
Now’s not the time
Not this year
This is really a bad time, okay?
Definitely not this year, are you crazy?

Be me
Paramedic
Patient is very sick, circling the drain
Oh God oh fuck I can’t treat them and stabilize them, they’re unstable

“Sadly, there’s nothing we can do. Our training, available equipment, medications and infrastructure are only for stable patients.”
Send it BLS next time.
Dude, that’s all they ever send.
