At this point why should they say anything? They've been fighting tooth and nail for years against this. I feel this is the 'when your enemy is making mistakes, don't interfere'. They're letting people see what they voted for, or didn't get off their ass to vote for. Not even being part of Trumps' base will be able to insulate them from what they're about to struggle with.

What world are you living in?

They had 4 years to fight Trump and make sure he was properly tried and sentenced for his crimes and they just didn't because they didn't want to look like they were going after political opponents. They have actually done next to nothing to fight him.

And the "mistake" they don't want to interrupt is Trump deporting people to random countries, setting up a giant concentration camp in gitmo, cutting cancer research funding and making life he'll for trans people. So maybe they SHOULD interrupt this mistake, with more than just signs.

Kind of a suicide move. Like, they let the mass murderer in, so you're letting everyone die to spite them.

We know that project 2025 is essentially a complete dismantling of democracy, so what the hell do they think they'll get out of letting it happen? Aside from getting lined up against a wall?

I dunno, man, waiting until the last minute to start trying Donald when we all know how slow the wheels of justice grind in this country doesn't seem tooth and nail to me.

What even can they do?

This, for better or worse, is the will of the people. It's not like nobody knew this was going to happen.

What even can they do?

  • Refuse Democratic cooperation on a single Republican nominee or bill without severe concessions.
  • Hang any Democrat who dares utter the word "bipartisanship" from a lamp post.
  • Boycott important Trump speeches.
  • Refuse to assist in passing laws that will give the president more power.
  • Filibuster everything and use every iota of resistance in the Senate possible.
  • Participate in direct protests like Al Green - every single member should have done the same thing.
  • Participate and lead street protests directly.
  • Demand lawful access to government buildings, enter by force if necessary.
  • Have candidates for 2028 start running for president NOW, to serve as foci and centers of resistance.
  • Start drafting a "Project 2029" now. Be just as prepared as Trump's team was.

They are not doing any of these things.

If that were true, it's a dumb election strategy to sit back and wait while your opponent puts an end to free and fair elections.

The assumption here is that Democrats are just cowards. That is the more flattering of two options, but the less likely one.

The other one is that they are actually quite okay with what is happening, because their masters are.

Fuck.....

The perfect analogy for the fucking US of A.

The parents trying to get in are the progressives

And the voters are the people who elected the shooters to run the town

Way too good of an analogy in too many ways.

… the school shooter wasn’t voted class president by the students.

And Democrats aren't armed or in a position of authority to stop it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At some point they were in authority and could have made a difference…. But they decided to watch what would happen if they did nothing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Dems haven't had 60 seats in the senate since 1979. In 12 of the 16 most recent congresses they had less than 50.

Republicans take a bad idea and make it worse.

Did at least 51 put of 100 cops have to agree before busting down the door?
