"The Democrats just aren’t calling about DACA. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have to get moving fast, or they’ll disappoint you again. We have a great chance to make a deal or, blame the Dems! March 5th is coming up fast."
The comma should be positioned before "or" if we were using it to link two independent clauses (like the first sentence).
We could assume that in the second sentence, we are not linking two independent clauses, and that "or" is being used idiomatically as subordinate conjunction with a dependent clause.
Ahem. Meaning, we wouldn't be able to "blame the Dems!" if we didn't "have a great chance to make a deal."
