Democrats are feeling constant pressure from their base to disrupt the Trump administration, admitting to frustrated voters that they have no real leverage outside of the courts unless they win back at least one chamber of Congress
I dont think dems can win another election at this point. They are hated by their own voters now, because of stuff like I listed above, and I dont imagine they will stop doing this self sabotaging stuff. So its time for something besides dem vs rethug.
Publicily advocate their base join grassroots and decentralized movements that enact direct action since the courts and political system are completely captured by fascists and time is of the essence?
Seems like that’d be a bit more useful than what they’re doing now, which is effectively nothing.
that’s my point they can’t do anything about impeachment, but people are shouting at the democrats like they should occupy the government or else the are nazi collaborators. the far left campaigning hard against the democrats and helping trump as always
anything they can do about that?
Its not that they are trying and aren tsucceeding, its that they never even try and do not have a party platform at all.
How many betrayals since mid January from our own party?
