And the funding bill gave expansive new military powers to the executive office, it wasn’t just a stop gap bill. It’s the same lame Duck crap democrats continue to do that put our country in the position it is in. They are complicit and are more aligned with the republicans than they are a true left or progressive party.
I’m aware. I’m not saying it was the right choice. I’m saying it was a lose/lose situation. The military powers are more of a formality to keep the Republicans in Congress’s hands clean. They have majority regardless.
It’s all losing, and we just have to be okay that the democrats just clutch their pearls instead of putting up actual resistance?
Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts. I wouldn’t call that clutching pearls.
Yet the democrats still voted to confirm even the least qualified cabinet picks instead of opposing the whole thing from the start. They said words and then their actions were the opposite. They dont fight for single payer healthcare because they benefit. They dont fight for a minimum wage tied to inflation because they benefit. They take corporate donations and pretend to fight for the average american and yet still do the shit like insider trading and fuck you cuz I got mine policies.
All of the appointments with the exception of Rubio were split 50 Republican/50 Democrat with Vance as the tie breaker. Look them up for yourself.
I’m with you on the rest. I’m just saying they’re actively trying to stop Trump. We need to primary out the deadwood centrists in favor of progressives that will actually fight for the working class.

Not even close to party lines, but okay.
Thanks for sharing that. Shun the traitors!
To be fair i think most of us thought Rubio would have a spine and be effective at a position he was at least qualified for. I'm gonna give everyone who voted on him a break. the rest are inexcusable.
And when they are trying to cede congressional authority and oversight to the executive branch.... we really needed the leverage on the CR
Sure did! Instead Schumer just rolled over because “trust me I know what’s best” bullshit. Didn’t even push for a single goddamn concession. Passed it whole hog as written.
Yep. Which is one of the biggest critisms of the dems that is relevant, they love handwaving and telling us whats in our best interest instead of polling or listening to us.
