My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless.
They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc
It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

It's a nightmare I have.
Tuberville didn’t block CABINET nominees.
What changed in November 2013 Kevin???
It’s almost like DEMs really don’t care bc they know these options exist.
I will no longer be a DEM if this faux helplessness continues.
It’s BS.
“These senators just roll over and show Musk their bellies.”
“Sad to see the majority party become so weak.”
Etc

What do you do when Elon and his thugs just turn up to the thing they aren't supposed to have access to?
You need physical presence. I'm sorry to say, they are already using it.
One side is fighting a war already.
I am taking notes of everyone who is asking for patience as they erase trans people.
We will beat these Nazi assholes and then there WILL be a reckoning for people who stood aside with their hands up

Where’s the patriotism???
FWIW in the coming days after trump passes the Law Against the Formation of Parties (Gesetz gegen die Neubildung von Parteien) you won’t have to worry about campaigning against the minority party anymore. There won’t be one.
I mean, have you seen some of the shit Schumer is posting? Tomatoes. He sounds like he's 5. His help should be to fired.
Have you bothered to have a take on the GOP taking the nuclear option, and then going thermonuclear if necessary? Maybe I missed it? None of those rules are in the Constitution or law.
Coz, well, the damage won't hit them....
Eric Gregory, the president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, told WCPO that the 2018 tariffs cost his industry—and hence the state—upwards of roughly $580 million,

None of these things actually apply to shit that’s actually happening in the senate. You’re just wrong
GOP cannot and will not raise it without the help of democrats.
It’s a huge lever.
I suggest they apply a little leverage 😎
But the stakes are too high for that game this time around.
Maybe democrats should let the 'individuals' who demand their own selfish rights to da as they want, when and where they want, but offer nothing in return to defend democracy fend for themselves for a while.

It’s like they want to fail.
They are losers afraid of power. Tbh tho a lot of them agree with what’s happening, just maybe wanted it slower or not as extreme.
Just look at the last few years of deportations. Billionaire coddling bullshit.
So why aren’t they doing anything?
We must adhere to our all-powerful, all-knowing ‘norms’.

Feckless thus far? Absolutely.
The #SenateDemocrats can do these things.
They could have unanimously voted No on all nominees.
They could have put holds on every nominee.
But go-along, get-along guy @schumer.senate.gov didn't ever consider those tactics.
Democrats can try
Try, pathetic children
You will not engender support by continuing to be ineffectual simps for the corporate donors you share with the GOP
