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.
The Democrats in question would likely say they’re upset progressives are getting mad at Democrats as if they have the power to pass bills or do much of anything. Yelling “do something” isn’t helping when your party doesn’t have any power.
Ironically the most power Democrats have is thanks to the filibuster, which Progressives campaigned against for years.
When the R’s are in a minority they seem to block everything just fine though…
Maybe if they can’t do anything, these useless fucks should all resign and retire. Clearly, it wouldn’t make one difference.
And have new people with new ideas? Never! That’s why Clinton and Harris won, old ideas work in new times!
Progressives have even less power. You want them to all resign and retire?
Do nothing even though the conservatives and rich tech companies are taking over the federal government!
They have millions, they can do many things to make conservatives work harder every single time, they can run protest, they can amplifiy their voices behind one leader, they can do alot of things…
Vichy-Democrats.
