In reply to the discussion: I hope people are anticipating more than what happened on January 6. [View all]NurseJackie

You missed that, I guess. It was at the end of the post, so maybe you never got that far before posting your prattle.
No, I didn't miss that. In fact, I specifically commented on that in an earlier reply to another poster when I offered that poster line-by-line characterization of the OP. (And, what you're claiming to be a question, really isn't a question. I'm not as stupid as I look.)
Instead of intelligent discussion with your opposing view you throw out mild insults and silly little pictures.
I was very clear in the points I made and in my characterizations of the doom-and-gloom woe-are-we abandon-hope nature of that post. It serves no good purpose.
Do you think things are as they always were and we will win some and they will win some?
What I think is that all I'm pointing out is that this type of "concern" and loaded "discussion-questions" are just a passive-aggressive and backhanded way of insinuating that all is lost... or that the Biden administration can't/won't do anything... or that the Biden administration is weak/doesn't-care/impotent, etc.
Don't bother to answer unless you can be thoughtful beyond slogans and derisive comments.
I think what that translates to is "don't bother to respond unless you agree with me" and "rational thought not welcome, go away NurseJackie" (or something like that).

IDK if our side isn't taking this seriously enough, or if we just don't know what the fuck to do.

More than 'a lot' of Americans are naive. I would say a HUGE majority.. like 70% or more.

We know what needs to be done, but many elected Dems don't seem to know.
Justice matters.

You've convinced me. Might as well just give up now. We're doomed. All is lost.

What TF does that even mean? "Non-answer" ... there wasn't even a question.

From the OP: "No "calm down" please. Instead, convince me I am wrong to worry."

I'm not attacking anyone. I've been exceedingly careful to avoid falling into that trap.

Brute force is what the GQP are using. Just by way of example is Tejas redistricting.
