"In what way can we make this the fault of the Democrats, even though they don't have any power and it's obviously not their fault?" \-The Media

Why bother? We're like 4 failed votes deep. It's theater.. no one owns it and it needs to be veto proof to mean anything.

At this point, the greatest pressure these ineffective people need to face are fresh, young people winning primaries against them after exposing them for exactly what they are. Has Hakeem Jeffries been out in the streets with his constituents? Is Schumer out there? Are either of them engaging every single day with their constituents to galvanize them, build community and find a message? No, they don’t do shit and it’s abundantly clear they’re paid opposition and depend on this chaos just as much as the other side.

Why the f*** are we blaming the Congressional Democratic minoriy for the stupidity and corruption of Republicans who actually get to decide what is or is not voted on?

You people are so dense. What you said is exactly my point, hence why the least they can do is get the f*** out there and engage with their constituents who are fighting this every day and do something alongside them!

They are engaging with their constituents. With virtually all US media owned by Republican donors, it simply isn't getting any attention.

No, I want them to denounce the government altogether, not just the war. It is well past time to identify republicans as what they truly are, which is a terrorist organization that has infiltrated and taken over the US government. We are under siege and have been for a long time now, and we need people who are genuinely willing to stand up and make the necessary sacrifices via aggressive and sustained civil disobedience. But all democrats can do is prove time and time again that they are corporatist cowards.

They’re saying they can’t do it because some of the “yes” votes have left Washington already. Gotta love when they play the incompetent card to try and hide the fact that they agree with what’s happening. They’re waiting for Trump to put boots on the ground because they know it’ll be too late then to stop this thing.

It doesn't matter because even if the house supposedly passes it. It's dead in the Senate that just kill the bill this week. Not to mention Trump will veto it and than you need 2/3 in both chambers to override him when you to barely have 1/2 the house.

Democrats should just stop. Useless when they were in power. Stop trying to put a woman in office. The moderates didn’t vote for Clinton or Kamala. Take a hint. Vote a boring white guy and lets fix this gd country. Actually stop letting bad people off the hook. Make rules against Politicians like they did against doctors and financial people in taking money. Fix the system and stop being greedy as f***. We’re running out of runway to be a good country.
