Summary
House Democrats are frustrated with progressive groups like MoveOn and Indivisible, which are pressuring them to oppose the Trump administration more aggressively.
In a closed-door meeting, lawmakers complained about grassroots activists driving constituent calls demanding obstructionist tactics.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended the party’s strategy, saying, “We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.”
However, a CBS News/YouGov poll shows 65% of Democratic voters want all-out opposition to Trump’s agenda.
How many Democratic members of Congress (and their donors) are going to be richer thanks to Trump tax cuts?
How many of them own stock in companies that are regulated by the institutions that musk is meddling in?
The Democrat party needs to end. We can’t fight fascist activism by being nice to them. We also can’t fight fascist billionaires with “nice guy” billionaires who ultimately benefit just as much, but just don’t approve publicly of the methods.
The Democrat party needs to end.
Sounds like our democracy is dead, if true.
“We are getting paid to lose elections.” Yeah, thanks for the update dickhead.
Schumer and his ilk should be run out of town on a rail.
They’re too old, too milquetoast, and too entrenched in the status quo to be effective to today’s needs.
Their time is up, hook’m off the stage.
Poor guys. If they didn’t like it, they should quit.
This is news? It wasn’t exactly a recent development that made voting a choice between picking a conservative party backed by interests or picking a conservative party backed by self-interests.
The former is better than the latter, but it’s not much of a consolation prize, considering neither of them give a rat’s ass about the people they claim to represent.
That’s fine. Elections have no relevance in America now that Republicans are in total control.
No one has explained to me why they would ever willingly relinquish power now that they have all of it on a federal level.
