Fucking John Boehner and Mitch McConnell paralyzed Congress for years and stymied even the most milquetoast Democrat programs. Why Jeffries isn't becoming a better Boehner is because he's a gutless worm.
Is there time for debate on the floor during appointments?
From my understanding they have a "filibuster" in the sense they say I'll filibuster and that's it. They rarely do standing filibusters and don't refuse to yield their time.
They could have pushed past the brownshirts illegally guarding the doors of the institutions that musk is raping, but instead they stood there like like twats for the photo opp. They are complicit until they prove otherwise.
While in essence i do agree, democrats need to take some republican playbooks, democrats trying to spread propaganda isn’t one of them i’d suggest. It would kill credibility to both those who support democrats and those opposed to democrats decimating the lefts already dwindling trust within voters.
The credibility is being the party of truth and justice. They’re held to a standard republicans will never be, 1 wrong move and democrats will fracture votes to 3rd parties handing the government over akin to 1912. Becoming a second party of propaganda just serves to takes the us further into hell.
Everyone should. Dividing the already hesitant left more will not server the US well. The left needs unity, facts, and leadership if it plans to stand any chance against fascism. Acting on impulse with reactions that will cause division isn’t the way. The revolution didn’t succeed on lies.
Let me remind you republicans already view everything as fake news, with facts to back up their claim they’ll fall deeper, only to server as proof to them that they’re on the right side, while pushing the further left away as well. The left has integrity and will abandon a party of propaganda.

We removed that rule for appointments so that Obama could appoint *anyone*.
