Let's talk about the positive things that the democrat party does.

I'll start: They are very good at being controlled opposition.

Since this thread is about posting good things, it should be assumed that anything posted in this thread is mean to be good actually and if someone appears mad they are actually just being ironic.

it was crusty, who finally got mad enough to post before he continued chain-gassing threads that break no rules

all I saw was that there was a quote from Jeffy that said "don't post about [another subform]" and then crusty said we're free to post about succ anywhere. which seems odd that we can post about poo poo rear end dems anywhere but we can't for some reason have a thread dedicated to dems being bad.

however that is off topic for this thread, which is things dems are good at.

i really appreciate how compassionate he is here, in noting that suicides are up, then being very careful to say "things are getting better" and not talking about the 4,000 people that are dying a day from covid. its a very nuanced and tender way to care for our mental health. i cant believe he managed to record this speech in only 19 days! lincoln went his whole term without recording a speech

I'm glad they acknowledge the fact that people might be feeling desperate because they lost their job due to the pandemic but also recognize that anyone making $50k 2019 obviously doesn't need help even if they lost their job to the pandemic and are feeling desperate.

It's good that people are seen and heard and are valid.

democrats know when it's important to say sorry:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/neera-tanden-faces-confirmation-hearing-for-budget-office-post-11612883291

Neera Tanden, President Biden’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget, said she regretted past comments she made while running a center-left think tank and pledged to be nonpartisan if confirmed to the role by the Senate.

“I know there have been some concerns about some of my past language on social media, and I regret that language and take responsibility for it,” Ms. Tanden said in opening remarks at her confirmation hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. She didn’t specify which comments she was referring to.

She described herself as an “impassioned advocate” in her previous role as head of the Center for American Progress. But she added, “I understand that the role of OMB Director calls for bipartisan action, as well as a nonpartisan adherence to facts and evidence.”

Asked on Tuesday whether the White House asked Ms. Tanden to apologize for her tweets, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, “We certainly did not ask her to make any specific comments in her testimony today.” She said the president is confident Ms. Tanden will be confirmed.

Ms. Tanden has in recent years used Twitter to criticize then-President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers, while also tussling with the left wing of the Democratic Party.

In retrospect punching Faiz was actually good but it still makes me really mad that this is happening and nothing will stop it

“If you’re Bernie Sanders, you could probably stop this if you wanted to,” D’Alessandro said. “The fact that he hasn’t said that, or his people haven’t said ‘this is something we’re really going to look into,’ tells me that the way we might view it as supporters, it hasn’t risen to that level to him.”

A spokesperson for Sanders did not respond to a request for comment about his planned approach.

Still, not all Democrats are fretting about potentially promoting Tanden. Other Senate Democrats, including Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), initially lauded Biden’s historic choice of Tanden—who would be the only woman of color to lead the agency—an approval that was echoed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and even some outside groups on the left.

“If confirmed, Neera Tandem's high praise of the Green New Deal must be actualized into concrete policy,” said Ellen Sciales, a spokesperson for the Sunrise Movement. Tanden, whose climate views have evolved over time, once wrote a statement for CAP in 2019 arguing, “America has a choice to make: We can come together to create high-quality jobs in the industries of the future, protect our communities from extreme weather and economic damage, and build a better and more equitable country for our children and grandchildren—or we can stick our heads in the sand.”

Clinton alums have also expressed a fondness for Tanden and confidence in her ability to navigate the nuances of the agency. “Look, Neera is really good at policy and she’s not great at campaign politics,” a longtime friend of Tanden told The Daily Beast. “Her entering the political fray more than she ever had in previous cycles, I would not use as a litmus test as to the success that she will have in her ability to work with Bernie Sanders moving forward.”

Matt Bennett, co-founder of the Democratic think tank Third Way who served in the White House under former President Bill Clinton, praised Tanden’s policy credentials and urged progressives to put aside old primary grievances.

You start out in 2016 by saying, “succ, succ, succ.” By 2021 you can’t say “succ”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh backtracking in goals is bad, means testing is reductive, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about Impeachment ftv, and all these things you’re talking about are totally pointless things and a byproduct of them is the working poor get hurt worse than wine moms.… “We want to reassess unaccompanied child detainees,” is much more abstract than even the kids in cages, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “succ, succ".

The proper motions like an investigation? Because we never got that. We just got a bunch of lib rape denialists saying "oh she went to RT which is Russian propaganda" or "I think she's confused about what happened to her"

oh yeah... I mean Democrats are very good at rape denialism it's very impressive the mental gymnastics they can do
