Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party.
"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."
House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration's authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.
You're viewing a single thread.
People who didn't vote ask the democrats to do something to fix it.
You just say that everyone to your left is a nonvoter as a pretext for ignoring them.
Eighty million people chose not to vote.
Now they're surprised that Trump is doing exactly what he said he would and they're all asking someone to fix it for them.
Eighty million people chose not to vote.
And you assume anyone that contacts their legislators is one of them.
It's neat watching "Voting isn't enough! You need to get involved!" become "Not like that!" when people start holding democrats accountable for their complicity.
You’re right if enough people get involved maybe they can do something… in two years.
Until then, they're going to register their disapproval. I hope they only get louder forever.
You want them to shut up.
I wish they spoke up when it mattered.
BULLSHIT.
You wanted them to shut up during the election too. You don't care what happens as long as anyone to your left and only your left shuts up.
I wanted them to speak up and keep Trump out to keep this from happening.
Besides that whatever you think you know about me I’m afraid you don’t.
I mean, people who did vote for them are also demanding the Dems do anything in their power to slow or stop this, which is exactly what the Reps have done when the situation is reversed and Dems just throw up their hands like there's nothing they can do in both scenarios
Maybe we're getting sick of them trying to play act the "good guys" doing things "by the rules" while watching the Reps do whatever the fuck they want and getting away with it again and again
Fuck off, I voted and I'm fucking rowdy.
Good I wish there were more people like you.
More like representatives upset their constituents want them to do something
Or you're saying they don't need to listen to the people in their districts?
I voted, fuck you.
