All these comments are making fun of Democrats for "sounding the alarm," but what the fuck do you want them to do?
crimes
What we voted them into office to do? It's not that hard to think.
Define "we". Dems do not have a majority in either the House or Senate, so there's not really much they can do.
Republicans in minority: Gumming up the system, filibuster, make no concessions, forces the Democrats to work with them.
Democrats in minority: We've tried nothing and we're out of ideas.
Maybe they don't vote yes on Trump's censorship bills? Maybe they refuse his cabinet picks? Just a thought they represent the people who voted them in. Wild idea, I know.
So, voting against this shit, which they're doing?
I don't think voting in approval of KOSA, Trump's cabinet picks, and pretending to vote No when you actually vote Yes is "voting against this shit".
I want to see some actual opposition, none of this lip service they constantly think does anything. Real actions taken in congress, real obstruction, real anything. Dems blow so much hot air and then fold at the slightest hint of opposition
You mean like voting against this stuff? Filibustering appointments? Other things they are doing RIGHT NOW?
Voting is their job and the easiest thing they can do. The dems who visited the ICE camps at least appeared to care. The Dems are sauceless and wont allow any non-monied interests to touch their precious political process, which they are watching be dismantled in real time. The eight dem just died in office, too bad we cant let any younger, people into office.
What constitutes "real action taken in Congress" if not voting?
Literally anything more than what they're doing now. They cant vote, do some filibusters, and then cry why they haven't made any progress. I want to see some civil disobedience in congress. I want to see some incivility. I want the Dems to grow a spine and wield power. Not stand stoically by, do performative or impotent actions, and then blame the voters for not voting hard enough.
Remember when Fetterman wore a Hoodie in congress and both parties enforced formal wear in congress? Or when Al Green was taken away for standing up, no one else did anything?
I remember.
Then what good are they if they can't ever do anything?
"No no, they earned your vote by talking, not doing anything!"
They can start by not rubber stamping the fascist political appointees that are doing these things, for starters.
What we elected them to do.
They could stop voting to confirm Donnie's appointments for one.
And what's next, fight for the people who elected them? Smh, damn entitled voters, wanting the opposition party to be an opposition! This is why Trump won!!1!1 /s
Anything more than what they're doing.
