they are completely blowing it. With trumps ratings so low it would be the time to press, but they got nothing.
Democratic party is controlled opposition. change my mind.
And yes even just making things a pain in the ass, calling out other officials by name shaming anyone who votes with Trump’s agenda, filibustering everything pushing that agenda so anyone who votes on Trump’s agenda knows it’s going to take 24+ hours to accomplish, etc, counts as pushing harder.
Too old and not interested in pushing back.
Congressional Democrats can’t really do a lot right now. Democrat governors are letting the lawsuits fly and defying questionable EOs like they should, though. Many cities are doing the same. I realize the federal government is more visible and seen as more of the party leadership, but in the current situation, state and local leaders have more tools to really push back.
And nothing will change.
we’ve been screaming for the democrats to do anything but nothing for years and they’ve failed at every turn. They keep taking away the same bullshit lesson that they need to shift right and that’s just now how this works. If someone right leaning wants to vote right they aren’t going to vote for the less right party.
A monkey with a type writer could run the party better.
Controlled opposition since Carter.
Do some good but never enough, while the other side does a little bad but never too much. As time passed that “some good” became less and less, while the “little bad” became more and more.
That’s basically it.
Honestly the thing that makes me the most upset is when Dems called for Biden and their Congressional reps to do something, they could have done everything Trump is doing. Where was the Left version of Doge? Where was the EOs just saying stuff and then defying the courts like Trump is doing?
Seeing Trump doing whatever he wants, tells me Biden didn’t do enough.
And so many people on Reddit were like „what do you want Biden to dOoOoO???“
Support Hogg’s push to oust the old guard. In straight up telling my reps every week be part of the solution or get out of the way.
Dems should have learned from the republicans throughout obamas term. All they did was scream bloody murder at every single decision while having the same 4-5 talking points and it worked. They successfully convinced people that despite their lying eyes, republicans were really good at governing. Dems need to take advantage of that
And yet they can’t name anything effective they can do.
But they sent a strongly worded letter! What more could be possibly done with the economy going to shit, our allies being alienated, a rapist who’s flirting with a martial law, and who has an unelected narcissist destroying our government without oversight? A second strongly worded letter might be seen as rude.
The out of touch wealthy boomer dems running the party need to go fucking yesterday.
ITT: More useless whining and cynicism from people who never bothered to read a civics textbook.
They don’t want to upset their donors. Who are a lot of the same donors to the GOP. It’s a small club that you aren’t in.
I didn’t hire you for a job, why aren’t you helping me
Not sure how you can look through the replies in this thread and not understand why we lost an election that was based on vibes. The most vocal people on the left are insufferable tankies.
Have they tried asking those officials they unelected by voting Republican?
I personally think leadership has decided the only way out of this mess is through it — meaning, hands off the wheels and let his supporters (and unfortunately the rest of us, as well) suffer the consequences. Basically, let the toddler touch the stove.
Not pushing back hard enough? My dem senator started kissing orange ass as soon as the tangerine king was elected. Yes, I’m taking about John Fetterman.
That’s shocking…
I’m sure Chuck is going to write another stern letter.
Hey now. Chuck Schumer sent a strongly worded letter to Trump the other day.
I’m sure that’s good enough, right? 😉
They’re too busy capitulating and kowtowing.
Citizens United is the issue with the Dems. The pelosi/Schumer wing of the party.
Boomers gotta go
