      Do whatever you can, Democrats in Congress. This administration endangers people in so many ways. Show the world you aren’t complicit with this lunacy.

      They could’ve said something the day after the conflict began. It’s only when it affects the economy. They chime in. Especially at this point of no return, there’s inept leadership on both sides. It only helps that one side is a little bit more nefarious.

      This is what pisses me off about the Democrats. They constantly talk and talk about maybe doing something. Then when it comes time to actually fight back they fold like a wet towel.

      Take the shutdown for instance, they spend all that time supposedly holding out so.our health care doesn’t go up, then they reopen the government with our achieving anything. They only got a bullshit promise of a potential vote, and then of course the Republicans told them to fuck off.

      They are all talk. And they are not going to do a god damn thing this time either

      > „Each individual senator has a tremendous amount of power to disrupt the normal functioning of the Senate as well as certain privileges that we can exercise, and what we have agreed right now is that we’re not going to let the Senate continue business as usual, which seems to be ignoring the urgent issues the American people are dealing with” …

      — Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.)

      Remember that the next time someone says they don’t have any power… they have plenty of power to grind things to a halt if they wanted to.

      Why not! Trump said he won’t sign anything anyhow. Cut the money off too, while I you’re at it.

      „Bark bark bark“ say the little dogs I voted in. But it was fine, they never bit anyone in their life. Except for the occasional incident where they chase their own tail and bite it after barking about „shut down“ over and over again, only to give in at the first lie they receive.

      Is there a difference between it being shut down and the fuck all it’s been doing since America became a monarchy last year?

      Democrats really can only offer to burn every bit of political capital they have to counter the republicans and this regime.

      At some point the regime will go the path the Nazis did to enshrine single party rule. But until then they have to try.

      They need to use whatever media presence they can muster to draw public attention to the corruption and criminality of this regime and its party apparatus.

      If the government is behaving criminally and actively harming the people then there is a moral imperative to shut it down.

      If the engine on your car is on fire the first thing you do is pull over and turn it off.

      They caved on healthcare. They will cave again. Probably after receiving some minor concession on foreign aid

      “Stop or I’ll say stop again.” I’ll believe it when I see it. Dems have continued to be like herding cats. We need to take a page from the GOP and stick together, unrelenting, no matter what.

    24. SghnDubh on

      Oh geez, Jefferies. Oh wow. And you’ll open it up again when Republicans promise to hold a meaningless vote like they did last time. Ohhh geeez.

      I’m glad Cory is refusing to do business as usual and forcing debate.

      But honestly I’m a little unsure what can even be done now. I’m a hardcore pacifist but once the damage is done it becomes an intractable quagmire.

      Like let’s say we demanded they stop the war tomorrow. What would that even look like, “OK Iran Congress said we can no longer fight, so let’s make a treaty. Half the country is really sorry and wants to play nice now.”

      I want to stop it but but I’m having a hard time envisioning what I would even ask my representatives to do if I called.

      Hell everything is liable to shut down. We’re on the brink of a global, economic disaster. What needs to be shut down is Trump and Netanyahu’s (so called) *Board of Peace!* Trump is too stupid to comprehend the results of his actions. All he knows is how to file bankruptcy when the shit hits the fan. And Netanyahu has always thrown any nation on the planet under the bus to enhance his political career.

    33. gnobile on

      Dem has been talk, talk and more empty talks. There has been no oppositional action for a decade. Chuck shoemaker is working hard his entire life for Israel instead american… Hope against hope with leaders from dem, 😒

    34. Kalelisagod on

      If they shut it down they will get labeled as not supporting the troops and it back fires in their face. The need to set up daily major press conferences on the steps of the capital with all members. Take questions and ask questions.

      They need to bring this man fight to the GOP and not just back away. These wars are for nothing but to placate an old senile man. They need to come out fully behind the troops but against using them to fight needless wars. Make the GOP have to explain the whys. Shutting it down doesn’t do that

    36. eflowers62 on

      Democrats need to learn how to stonewall and run out the clock like the republicans.

    38. Euphoric_Fondant6135 on

      Honest question: what does shutting down the Senate do to stop a president that has pretty much done everything via EO

      No I’m not being a troll. If you wanna give people hope, now is the time.

    40. YoureProbablyAB0t on

      Anything they are doing is pre-approved theatrics that won’t change anything. There’s little chance that Schumer has anything in him to go against his owners.

    41. AnalSoapOpera on

      It’s not like Trump is doing anything anyway. He said he himself would stop governing until his anti-vote bill passes.

    42. DirtyChito on

      Isn’t this like telling a kid if they don’t eat their vegetables they won’t be allowed to do their homework?

    43. Masta0nion on

      Performative.

      They just so happened to have to exact amount of nays on the war resolution to have it not pass.

      They’ve had their opportunity, plenty of times, to stand up to the military industrial complex, but no one dares.

    44. rebork on

      Lol dem leadership is bought and paid for by interested wealthy parties and Israel. This is just a nonsense article. Dem leadership is spineless and corrupt. 

    45. brakeled on

      They didn’t though? They can’t even keep their party in line. Several democrats crossed party lines to ensure this conflict continues indefinitely because they’re all paid for by Israel.

      Quite literally nearly every single politician you vote to represent you will represent Israel before you every single time. Your taxes go to Israel to pay for all of their social programs and defense, and then part of your taxes are funneled back to those same politicians to ensure your taxes continue to get funneled into the interests of Israel.

      At no point do you, your wants, or your needs matter. These people actually refer to you all as cattle in their Trumpstein PedoFiles. Every single American politician needs dragged out of DC and punished for their betrayal to this Nation and everyone in it.

    46. AlaskanPotatoSlap on

      I’m not holding my breath. Democrats are, after all, masters at pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.
