Dems will then ask us for money because that will totally help

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

In a corrupt system, nothing is more important than money. Where money is power, if you have none, then you have none.

consider he already has ignored gop states as well, blue states will also ignored.

Oh damn, another one sounded? Maybe we'll get Schumer to frown at Trump next time, that'll show em!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Perhaps he will write a strongly worded letter

It's ok, it's not like NYCs water supply is almost entire supported by aging reservoirs in a faraway, upstate land that is notorious for floods.

All these comments are making fun of Democrats for "sounding the alarm," but what the fuck do you want them to do?

What we voted them into office to do? It's not that hard to think.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Define "we". Dems do not have a majority in either the House or Senate, so there's not really much they can do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 23 hours ago

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".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean like voting against this stuff? Filibustering appointments? Other things they are doing RIGHT NOW?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

"No no, they earned your vote by talking, not doing anything!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

They can start by not rubber stamping the fascist political appointees that are doing these things, for starters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

What we elected them to do.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They could stop voting to confirm Donnie's appointments for one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Anything more than what they're doing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Oh no! I bet at least TWO Letters WILL Be Written NOW along with FOUR Donation Texts!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Time for another strongly worded letter??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It'll have the words "Miscreant," and "Reprobate" in it this time!

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

...and I'm sure the alarm will accomplish something this time. The past thousand or so alarm soundings with no action or results have all been flukes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm waiting for the alarms to ever wake Americans up honestly. Easy to blame a party but seriously, will America ever wake up?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

will America ever wake up?

We recently elected one of the most vile humans to walk this earth, not in spite of, but because of his open malice. We're not asleep. We see what's happening, and most American voters can't get enough of it, cuz we're nearly as vile as the orange Nazi we just put in charge.

So... no, probably not.
