I am but one person, but what I want from Democrats is for them to be obstructionist assholes. That's it. I can accept that they cannot "do anything." I cannot accept that they are unable to stop other people from getting anything done in a timely fashion. - ThreadSky

CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough?

SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.

They watched gop go veggie throwing and didn't pick up any tricks from it over the last 20 years??

What Democrats CAN do right now is force Republicans to do the one thing they hate most--their actual jobs. Introduce countless bills and make Republicans vote against them so you have something to run on for midterms. And maybe their laziness or fear will allow one or two to slip through.

The fact that the Democratic Party is not pushing Medicare for All with the most beloved white male figure they have as the face of it is obscene. That is such a gimme. We've all seen how the public reacts to Luigi and that man SHOT SOMEBODY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!

"It won't pass." SO TF WHAT? The point is that the public will remember that you tried when it is time for them to vote! Hell, Bernie's still coasting off that to this day!

I would be introducing all sorts of wildly popular **** whether it had any chance of passing or not. Because every failure would be a chance for me to point to Republicans and say, "I tried--but these monsters kept this from you."

exactly, you've got to force a thousand moments on video with Republicans taking everything away. Again, so many of the Reps are lazy, I do hope some of these fired Federal workers run for their jobs

They're lazy and they back pedal so fast when they're shouted down! This was true of Trump last time too!

For real. I still remember McConnell gathering the troops when Obama elected and saying their goal was to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.

Particularly enraging that the thing that stops them doing this is the desire for cosy relationships where four day weekends can be accommodated.
