Joe Biden was given law of the land by the current SCOTUS to pave the way for Donald. He did zilch with it. Don’t say you had nothing, Hakeem. You had exactly what you needed.
Imagine if he was just like “fuck it, all your student loans and medical debt is forgiven. Instead be was like “I wish BiBi would like me. Here’s $20B and all the guns you need.”
Yep, President Biden had the authority to do whatever he wanted up to January 20th and really should have been a dictator. Instead, he said “welcome home.”
Whenever leftists or anti-Zionists who didn’t vote bring this up, I agree, but this has always been the case for the last 20 years AT LEAST. Many Democratic Party politicians are icorrupt, and due to the two-party system’s control over the country,
the Left is essentially forced to either take over the party and continue voting for candidates they dislike in hopes of future change or resort to violent revolution—there are no other options left.
I think that’s what he’s priming the public for with this. Forcing the GOP to own the impending government shutdown. Anyone saying they should leverage their votes for a spending bill or debt limit increase is high. The GOP, Trump and Musk won’t respect any deal made
His point is nihilistic, lay over and let it happen, nonsense. He's the leader, he should have the balls to express his means to resist. But since he's also bought and paid for, he walks into work everyday like a stoned jock in his senior yr, zero fucks given
Funny. No matter when the Democrats have a Majority, they don't try to do anything for us, and only work on pro-Corporate, pro-War legislation while a third of them vote against Social Programs until they're in the minority again for not fighting for us, and then whine that they're not in charge.
Where are our fail safes? This is a coup and no one is doing anything. I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Doesn’t say anything about supporting or defending the president.
Liberalism is right-wing in that it is primarily a mechanism to protect private property rights and maintains emphasis on the individual and private market economics.
The various flavors of socialism are the left-wing.
I will agree that the Democrats are "to the left" of the Republicans, but the Overton Window has been positioned in such a way that you can't even see "the left" through it in American politics.
the Jackass Dims have their damn mouths and feet to use .
they do not have to show up for votes .leave .boycott all !
they can actively and vociferously call out the crimes against the Constitution the tWump Admin and the GQP congress is enacting .They want to play victim..bunch of pathetic pussies
I mean, that’s a cute meme but he’s right. The Press isn’t doing its job because they’re all afraid of retaliation. So - maybe - instead of belittling the good guys, come up with something, anything they can do? I know a lot about Government, so platitudes aren’t gonna cut it for me. Gimme solutions
I remember when Jeffries was chosen as House leader for Dems, someone described it as the party telling its base that it'ys devotion to Israel was untouchable. Yep. They even gave up the White House for Israel.
Block everything. Refuse to play their games. Glue their desk draws shut. Crickets in the air system. Just fuck things up and make it uncomfortable. Use your fists on a nazis face.
What leverage? How about the law. Why are they not having these people arrested that are blocking the entrances to buildings, or Musk and his lil sycophants for trespassing? Insane.
He has a point, if voters wanted Democrats to legislate for change, for the American people, they should have voted for them up and down the ballot. This chaos is not their doing and they don’t have the votes to stop it. This is 100% on Republicans. I do blame them for not securing voting rights.
Republicans have been able to achieve whatever they’ve wanted regardless of who had what majorities. Dems immediately scream “we can’t do anything” when asked to do something
This is what happens when all you know is bourgeoise legalism and pageantry. Our leadership is crying in a corner because they were never about that life.
Wowww! And this is the minority leader? Bro is throwing his hands in his pockets and kicking dust up. This is a horrible look. @aoc.bsky.social, I’m going to need you to give sadboy a pep talk before democracy sinks 6ft under. I cannot stand this victim’s mentality. “How will we?”, not “How can we?”
Get off your ass Mr. Jeffries, why are you waiting on the President to submit Legislation. Be the leader, put up a massive family/ individual tax cut, fuel cost grocery cost medicine cost reduction. Introduce mortgage reduction, rent reduction. Take the fight to them.
(202) 225-5936 This is the DC office. I left a message saying that you use the words the Republicans over and over and over again with whatever on popular thing that they are trying to do and you make sure nobody ever gets to forget what they are up to.
Right now, #resistance is vital, to our freedoms, to our very survival. We cannot continue to accept this orgy of greed & power hording. We cannot afford to give an inch. They WILL take a mile.
I think this is a smart strategy if there is a government shutdown. Republicans have the votes to pass anything they want. Make America understand that a shutdown is avoidable without the help of Democrats.
I agree 100%. And using their votes to leverage some sort of deal with the GOP is futile - they are literally showing right now they will not honor any deals made. Making it as clear as possible for as long as possible that the GOP owns the impending shutdown is the best possible move
Its 2 years before the next election, and Americans will forget all of this before they roll around. We have short memories. Pretending like we have to worry about optics at a time like this is what's wrong with our leadership. The media and GOP will find a way to blame it on us anyway.
The Republicans call the shots and hun hog wild like they run the place when the Democrats have the House, the Senate, the Presidency. Hell, abortion was outlawed when the Dems had the White House and the Senate (although that was decades in the making and happened thanks to the Supreme Court).
Is it really hard to just be out there saying the republicans want to raise prices, eliminate jobs, and take food out of children's mouths? I really don't think it's that hard to propose an opposing vision to this government with a road map.
Kill time and stall out votes, get up and start reading thomas paine or something until the voting time period on legislation is up and then do it over again. Its been done before. Stonewall, rundown the clock, something! They arent responding to above board so meet their asses in hell and win
He has cameras pointing at him. Just say: "Next week I call on all Americans to peacefully march, and shut down the country until we get oversight into the workings of DOGE."
Terrible, stupid, horrible, self-righteous, egotistical morons can’t f***ing get their sh** together and actually DO something. They need to ALL be voted out of office for people who actually give a sh**.
A military answer isn't even a certainty in the case any state or states run a referendum on their independence. But US citizens will be dying by the tens or hundreds of thousands if this admin goes unchecked and starts trying to militarily occupy Gaza, Greenland, Panama and maybe even Canada.
There is no enforcement mechanism to hold back the coup. We are now a failed democracy and will have to figure out how to navigate living in a dictatorship.
Call your congressional delegation every day. Make them understand our anger, D and R alike. A call is worth more than a post anywhere. To track the issues and make dialing easy: https://www.5calls.org we can flood the zone too.

We showed them our bellies....

Blame God.

The Democrats are a failed party.
When Dems don’t have control of everything: “it’s really hard to stop all these changes when you don’t have control of everything.”
We have two liberal parties. One of them is middle-right and one is fascist.
What we don't have is a LEFT-WING party. The Democrats far too invested in maintaining the status quo to even advocate for any sort of change.
The various flavors of socialism are the left-wing.

Don't just say there is nothing you can do. There is always something

Always fight tyranny.
If the GOP leader said something like this, they would be gone.

You know, like when the GOP did it to Obama? Just an idea, you absolute feckless loser.
The #fight must be NOW. Our demise is imminent.
EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE.
#YOURWALLETISYOURPOWER
Regardless, it’s wild how we’ve never see republicans crying about how they can’t do anything anytime Dems have any majority whatsoever. Almost
Dems have strength & fire in the ranks
