      You do realise that both Democrats and Republicans are beholden to the same AIPAC and corporate donors? Which is why people are calling out the performative opposition of the Democrats. At the very least, many Americans are waking up and being proactive to primary out corporate Dems and replace them with progressives.

      The choices were fascism or fascism. We didn’t get to our current state of affairs in a vacuum, it had the full assistance of the DNC. Democrats are not the opposition of fascism, they are the blue shade of it.

    at last, the voters’ letter writing campaign to Jeffries and Schumer urging them to write a VERY strong letter to the president has been victorious. This is what democracy looks like. /s

    The democrats are complicit in every way. They don’t actually fight against the fascism, they just slow walk doing anything about it, and give lip service to there voters, while taking Epstein Class $$$ and making illegal stock trades.

      They do far more to fight against Fascism than tankies. Reminder that you dumbasses and your corrupt media supported 3rd party going into the election. You did everything in your power to get trump elected.

      Lets not go crazy now… lets “save our powder” here. Next month – or maybe right before the midterms–we can send another strong letter with the word “damn” in it somewhere.

    Seriously, just start impeaching him. Left, right, center, waste congress’ time so it cannot effectively pass legislation by filling the calendar day with impeachment hearings. If they want to clog all channels with crap, do it right back. Grind this country to a fucking halt, leave them having to fumble over constant demands for appearances. Just do SOMETHING.

          While yes, they are doing some things, it ultimately doesn’t really matter. If someone’s house is on fire and the firefighter goes in for a minute, comes back out having done nothing, and says “Hoo, that’s hot - I’m out.” they’re not a good enough firefighter.

          Like, yeah, it’s hard to do what they signed up to do, but they’re the ones who signed up to do it, and in the case of politicians, they specifically went around making promises to be people to do it in order to get the job in the first place. Things need to get done, and they’re the ones occupying the position.

          I’m not a politician - I don’t know how hard the left needs to work in order to undo what the right has done, but I know that they said they’d do it, so I expect them to do it. Anything less makes them a liar at this point - we can’t afford mulligans this late in the game.

          Their strategy is failing and yet they both make zero changes and denounce anyone else from coming in to try something new. Regardless of whether it’s incompetence or malice, we need them out so we can get someone better in.

            Your point is that the party that isn’t in power can’t do anything, very insightful.

              It’s less and worse than nothing. It gives most people an idea that somebody is doing something about it. Not fully understand that it amounts to nothing. So that they are conditioned into not demanding a drastic, impactful action.

      Sorry but idiot voters (and likely some fraud) removed any power dems have. They are the minority in everything so they don’t have the ability to impeach or do anything to stop him. It requires Republicans to do so. The dems have done what they can, while Republicans are preventing any consequences.

      Vote in dems or demand that Republicans hold him accountable.

    They’ve grown so much of a spine that they’ve gone from tiny asses paddles to full middle school letters!

    Damn they’re just great at meeting the moment.
