In reply to the discussion: Joy Reid Says She's 'Barely Hanging On' With Party Too Scared To Embrace 'Effective Fighter' Progressives " [View all]bigtree
(92,485 posts)...pretending the stuff inside her head is self-actualizing.
She's taking no responsibility for a Democratic majority here, and that's the tragic fault of these talking heads in 2024. It was hard, at the time, to no believe hers was a deliberate attempt to sabotage Democrats at times, with some myopic focus on some pettiness that had nothing to do with winning elections.
When will media and other influencers on monetized social media accept THEIR own failure to use the forum they were advantaged with to defeat Trump? What I remember from Joy was a daily backbiting against Democrats, promoting apathy and cynicism, instead of highlighting things the party is doing and saying -just this same navel-gazing denigrating din of self-defeating drivel of hers.
Oppose republicans, support Democrats. Doing otherwise in an election, and expecting that epic pout to do more than virtue-signal, is simply enabling a continuation of the worst of this autocratic republican regime.
These legislators had ONE vote each in that last election. They have zero numbers to do any of the magic wand waving Reid is expecting of them. The actual influence and responsibility is on citizens, right now, not out-of-power legislators who voters didn't bother to equip with a majority.
Really convenient to spend so much time bashing Democrats, as Reid did in 2024 and before, then spend the time after republicans took control of ALL the branches of government ragging on them because they have virtually no legislative power.
The responsibility for ending this regime is in the hands of individual citizens like Joy who need to show up on election day and elect Democrats into office. None of this whinging of hers is focused on that, and it's tragic and sad.
