The Nation’s Elie Mystal is getting fed up with the Democrats. “I’m so sick of ‘but what can the democrats do’ people,” he tweeted earlier this week. Then he came up with a list of things the Democrats could do, such as nationalize the midterm elections and have the National Guard oversee them. We don’t know if that’s such a good idea, seeing as Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen assumed 75 percent of the National Guard voted for Donald Trump and were therefore compromised and shouldn’t have been entrusted with Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Oh my God, I'm so sick of "but what can the democrats do" people.
"The Court has issued an order that violates the separation of powers, and we will not be following it.–The Democrats"
THAT'S SOMETHING THEY COULD DO.

"Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema appear unwilling to defend democracy and protect the rights of minorities to vote, so we are stripping them of DSCC funding and putting all our money into primary challengers. Or they can try to win a Republican Primary. –The Democrats"

"In response to the attacks on the right to vote carried out by white supremacists and domestic terrorists, I'm nationalizing the midterm elections and sending the national guard to secure the people's right to participate. I expect courts won't like it. -The Democrats"

Oh no, those white supremacists and domestic terrorists again.
Haha, yeah.
Those dastardly white supremacists, at it again.— Dr. Gonzo (@DrGonzoB522) August 27, 2021
"Everybody who doesn't do what I want is a white supremacist and domestic terrorist" is what passes for deep thinking on the left these days.

"Because we can't just get our way all the time, we've decided to ignore all of the structures of government that have made the US the strongest country in the world over the past 250 years. Should work out great."

That nationalizing elections one is the dumbest shit I've read in a while. Jfc

Having the national guard present is fine as long as they check IDs.

This is the most idiotic take I've ever seen. You don't care about seperation of powers which is what SCOTUS reiterated here. You want whichever branch "the Democrats" control at any given moment to have all the power. You're f'ing dangerous.

This is something you hear radicals say before they overthrow a government. You are no different than the lunatics who stormed the Capitol.

You want the president to take control of a state military force, so that, under his direction, they can stand fully armed at my polling place? This is some full on Soviet fascist bullshit.

No one is attacking the right to vote. It's a made up issue to keep the left stirred up.

The world you imagine is hateful and evil. Try stepping into the light and live in the real world where no one is attempting to prevent any legal American from voting.

In other words "Democrats lie to justify their illegal attempts to seize power".
Yeah, we already know that.
Nobody is attacking the right to vote, your opponents aren't "white supremacists" and "domestic terrorists", Democrats can't nationalize elections, and you're a nut.
