People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

How dare you! I have boots on the ground! In my office! With a chair that eclipses the price of any you'd find on the floor in an Office Depot!

And I'm asking you for money as hard as I fucking can!

The Democratic Party, at this point, is controlled opposition. The only ones that can get us out of this fucking nightmare are us. We, the People.

Saw Josh Johnson's set last night and he compared Schumer and Jeffries to the last guys you'd ever pick to be on your side in a bar fight ๐Ÿ˜‚ like if you looked to your left and right and that's who had your back you'd just give up right then and there

Yet somehow when you bring up wanting them to get primaried by someone who will actually do the job, the blue no matter who crowd get really mad and accuse you of wanting to help trump.
As if anyone could do a better job at it than those two.

Because apparently the alternative is worse, when in fact all they're usually arguing about is the velocity of how fast it will get worse.

I bet Democrats thought they'd have at least another 5 years before a genuine war with Iran, and probably a more unified western front for it.

Iโ€™ll never forget the door I knocked on in WI in โ€˜24:

Me: If the GOP gets back in power, theyโ€™ll just cut taxes for the wealthy AGAIN

WI voter: When have the Dems ever raised those taxes back?

People are begging Dems to be the repair party and not the hold the line at this level of harm party

Because a slow collapse provides an opportunity for escape, that's why you vote. Voting for the quick end serves no purpose. Both parties are bad, just not the same.

Republicans thwarted the Obama admin so many times from the minority despite him being personally popular. Democrats are afraid to stand against Trump even when heโ€™s at 35% approval. Theyโ€™re still approving his judges for fucks sake

The most accurate description for most of our Democratic politicians is "passively complicit." And possibly "TALKS a good fight."

Truth. And the DNC mailed me this week asking for money. I had already sent back one of their mailers saying when Schumer & Jeffries grow a spine, i'd donate. I'm sending them the same message this week.

The heavy thing:

Those who call for accountability are mistrusted as agents, ops, racist infiltrators who do not understand politics, troublemakers that will give the opposition an edge/intel/some power they do not already hold that is never defined. We must collectively learn to walk & chew gum.

I love my elders that hold it down at the voting booth with everything in my being AND rage at the politicians that let them down year after year. We must be able to honor our beloved ancestorsโ€™ struggles BY envisioning, demanding and creating better for them NOW. Not be driven by fear to silence.

And yet if you point out that they could be doing more, you get piled on by people who argue they have the agency of a turtle on its back.

Or if you ask them to support clearly popular progressive runners.

At least I got to laugh out loud at this.

This is a very good way to sum up the frustration. When you have the power to actually do something about it and the rest of us don't, you have a DUTY to actually do something. Trump says something unhinged? What bill are you writing up to stop him? Articles of impeachment? Just do it!

And I know someone will come and say "well it won't matter because the republicans will shut it down." Maybe. But you still do something instead of complaining because it might not work. Make the people who support him own it if you have to, but if you don't, you own it, too.

We expect Rethuglicans be corrupt, sadistic, fascist, genocidal sh*ts. We hold Dems to a higher standard which, sadly, few achieve. Theyโ€™re mostly pleasing their owners and ignoring us and our democracy.

Now youโ€™re gonna get hostile replies from people who believe congressional Democrats have no agency, accusing you of believing that congressional Republicans have no agency - when Republican action is the whole problem.

Do you think those same people understand how congress and the senate work? Do you think they know we need 60 votes to pass or stop anything they do? Do you think they understand that the rethuglikkkans and mango Mussolini control all 3 branches of government right now? And Fetterman is the traitor?

I said this to a friend a few months ago. It certainly does feel like they just give episodic recaps.
Constantly telling us "you deserve better" as they just simply post on their socials feels like a slap in the face.

Dem: "We are all outraged by [insert latest thing]"
The rest of us: "But what are you, a sitting member of Congress, doing about [insert latest thing]?"
Dem bodyguards: "Um what can they do?! They're in the MINORITY!"

I distinctly recall Tommy "Coach" Tuberville single-handedly stopping all military promotions (senior officers).

This week Hegseth struck women and black officers from the promotion list, and fired the general who wouldn't go along with it.

Democratic Senators: crickets

Their lack of passion is alarming.

Where's the desk-pounding? Where are the filibusters?

Their adherence to an antiquated notion of 'decorum' does nothing but allow repubs to walk all over them.

They need to get right up into the faces of this regime and give them not one moment's peace.

"I can't win so I'm not going to bother fighting" does not win you elections: the Republicans never coasted into power on "look, we don't have the votes to undo Obamacare, so just shut up and vote for me because I'm not a Dem", why do the Democrats expect to coast into power on that tactic?
