Blue govs need to form a legal/ economic defense pact. Work together like NATO against Trump.

What if we all just blocked everyone who praises EM? They are either stupid or hoping to get money out of him.

Obama's only purpose since leaving the White House is to seek out anyone thinking about standing up for themselves and tell them to knock it off.

perhaps Joyce those of us on the left who have been saying the Dems are incompetent and not actually doing real opposition are right!

That changed Thursday. They backed down like they always do.

NY dems are defending Adams who works for trump now. Delaware dems are pushing to give Elon $55 billion. If dems won't stand up, why would Republicans care what we think? Your do nothing brigade is an op to demoralize dems and empower republicans.

JBP could make the attempt. Maybe shame other govs. Worth a shot. It would demonstrate leadership for next election. You are correct about blue govs and dems in general. We may remember, but they will cheat to make themselves the only option. I wish we could do more.

Talk to other blue state govs, form an economic defensive pact. Protect more people that way. Also you get to be president next time. Win win.

I think day one Biden told garland to slow walk everything. A backroom deal. I let you go and you don't pursue my crooked family if you win in 24.

Wait, are you suggesting you're doing something about the damaging actions?

Dems in Delaware are pushing to give our shadow president tens of billions of dollars right now. This poll may be asking about a different set of Dems, but the vibe is the same just about everywhere.

Where are the do nothings on this? But what can dems do??! Well, not giving the fascist shadow president many billions of dollars would be a great start.

the reality of this is simple: legal arguments are normative arguments. you are arguing for specific outcomes and specific legal regimes. this is transparent to everyone except lawyers.

This is why you can never put too much pressure on Dems. They will march progress off a cliff like lemmings unless constantly course corrected. This is the end result of the "do nothings" strategy of defending dems from criticism. "But what can they do???" Well, how about not this for a start?

through all the titanic struggles of the twentieth century canada was our friend and ally and this is how we repay that? it is a sick betrayal. republicans are filth and the mainstream press is filth for acting like this is normal.

It's laying the groundwork for who is to blame for this chaos for future elections. Dems don't have a fox news on their side, so they will have to create the news cycles themselves. Of course it's unfair, but these are the cards we were dealt. We can either try something new or repeat the past.

I see lots of accounts trying to shame this line of thinking. I'm convinced it is some sort of DNC funded op to create consensus for doing nothing. Something similar to the bots you see below Musk stories that mock anyone critical of him.

They are paid very well for a very easy job they only have to show up for occasionally. Pardon me if I don't shed a tear that the swine may not be able to afford a yacht. I would say that the Dems, by refusing to run good campaigns or do anything, are the ones acting like none of this matters.

It's actually worse than that because people DID THAT in Nevada. A bunch of DSA people switched to the Democratic party, won leadership positions fair and square, and the national party cut them off, set up a separate party (Nevada Democratic Victory), and let the state rot for years.
Worked great:

People have warned of this for decades. Remember the surveillance expansion under W? Dems supported it. Now it will be used to stamp out dissent. The collaborators who brought us to this have names. Shame them and drive them from the party.

Remember when dems helped create the militarized police state that they now fear? There are countless parables and scifi/fantasy stories about losing control of the weapons you created. Who supported cop city and who didn't? That is a list of who to shun and who to promote.

I'd argue what Dems do best is normalize the losses under Republicans. They've never truly repaired anything, just softened the blow and shuffled along until the next haymaker.
