I see way to little of this, and way to much of the type of thing you were responding to. Can never tell if they are doing a bit, or a troll, or if they genuinely think the best response to all this is to put more GOP in congress to “punish” the D’s. - ThreadSky

I’m a lifelong establishment Dem with formal education in autocracies. Not a troll. Not a bit. Not someone who wants fascists to win. I’m a person who understands the danger and wants the elected officials to stop ushering fascism. JFC.

Look, I get it, but other than file lawsuits, I’m asking what they are supposed to be doing? I’m not saying any of this is ok, it’s a f’ng shit show.

Stop voting FOR unqualified cabinet picks would be a start. They aren’t constitutionally structured to be an opposition party. But since a lot of what DT is doing is grabbing their constitutional power from them, it’s important they make noise about it.

They are making noise about it is what I’m saying. I agree about the cabinet picks, the problem right now isn’t them, nor is it the biggest problem going forward. The only way to stop what is presently being done by DT and his unelected sidekick is the courts, or other non legislative measures.

Have you heard of primaries

jonesqc.bsky.social•40 days ago

I have, I vote in them with the other 15% of registered voters. The low turnout is why primaries result in bad candidates that everyone complains about. The vote turnout in primaries tells me most people that complain don’t show up.

Okay. Now can you remember why you started commenting on this thread

jonesqc.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes, because I am tired of R’s burning everything down and people think the answer is to cry about the D’s not doing anything when they don’t have any power to do anything except file lawsuits (happening) filibuster (none of this is going through the senate) yelling loud on tv is worthless.

That makes a lot of sense since the current Democrats have never been in power and have had no opportunity to appeal to voters

jonesqc.bsky.social•39 days ago

Ok, I’m not sure how that applies. They have been in power in the past, but they aren’t now, these things are happening now.
