(4,190 posts)I've had enough of Democrats being blamed for the actions of MAGAts.
Should play well for MAGAts in the midterms.

(8,524 posts)The criticism is on Democrats failure to use every tool at their disposal to oppose this regime. Their failure to act. To stand in the gap. They only react,
politely.

(1,572 posts)This gentleman has expressed my frustrations with our Dem officials this past year
2025.
It seemed that they were surprised that the Fascist Republican Crime Syndicate would start a furious attack and dismantling of our government and daily disregard of our constitution.
We have about 10 real leaders who keep pushing hard , but their colleagues ?
Seat Warmers.
I called my congressman and many times, once I asked if hes ready to give his life for us and our freedom

The instinctive response of too many Democratic congress critters is to fall back on their decades of habits. It's performative and completely ineffective in a time like this.

Hint: none.
The failure is that of the Founders unwarranted fear of the people denying them the means to overthrow an authoritarian regime; the failure is the fear, ignorance, and stupidity of the voters, the racism, bigotry, and misogyny of the voters not Democrats.

(14,181 posts)At the point where he said Democrats must obstruct by impeaching, passing legislation, etc. etc. His solutions all require control of Congress, which the Democrats don't have.
Any member of the House can introduce articles of impeachment, but Democrats don't control the Judiciary Committee. Impeachment charges, like legislation, must be approved by a committee before it can get to the House floor.
Guess what? DEMOCRATS DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE COMMITTEES.
Jesus Christ, people. Didn't anyone take a civics class in school?
