People are storming the streets and town halls, Elon is dissolving the whole country and Trump is busy tending Putin’s toes. Where the fuck are the democrats in all this crisis? It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with “told ya dis was gunn happen” drawn on their face.

Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain’t getting any news.

    Isn’t the better question, what can they do? I’m not saying Democrats aren’t without fault in all of this, but now that the US has jumped the democracy shark, I’m not sure there’s much anyone can do to put this shitty little genie back in the bottle. Short of House and Senate republicans having a coming to Jesus moment, I think we’re all on board the autocracy train for the duration.

      I don’t think it’s unreasonable to demand from your politicians to do something. The onus definitely isn’t on us to have a 10 point plan on stopping authoritarianism. And they should definitely be able to do more than just finger wagging.

      How about try? Maybe even get off the couch? Oh, what if they came out and actually didn’t help Trump get his picks approved?

      Republicans always manage to gum up the works, yet Democrats can’t seem to bring themselves to even try.

        Almost like they know their donators loves Trump’s tax cuts and his policies… And why Biden didn’t undo any of the major ones
