I am an American citizen, this is a democratic republic, the thing I’m supposed to be doing about this is voting, which I’ve done religiously since my 18th birthday 22 years ago. It’s up to the democrats because that’s what we voted for them to do! It’s their literal job!! When you’re the opposition party it’s your job to fight for me, the person who elected you, that’s how this works! The rule of law is far more powerful than I could ever be, that’s why we vote, it’s a proxy for literal fighting. I’m “inept” at literally fighting because that’s not my, or anyone’s role in society I’m very capable of doing my job as a citizen of a democratic republic however, I vote, I write letters, I fundraise, I organize, I used to caucus until my state stoped doing that… my job is to be a citizen not a brawler. I’m doing my job, the Dems need to do theirs.
Just because you want that to be their job doesn’t mean it is. Maybe in theory they work for you. In reality they don’t though they work for the monied nterests that ACTUALLY get them elected. So what are you going to do now? Nothing?
What?

What would you suggest they do?
Oh yes how dare I suggest someone do more than vote and then absolve themselves of any further responsibility
Yeah but what?
Just asking what you would do if you were in their shoes. Do you have any actual suggestions, or are you just enjoying feeling superior?
2 days later and no reply, they don’t want any solutions that aren’t obeying Blue Team.
No, we really didn’t.
This could be stopped with the President, with the House of Representatives, with the Senate, or with the Supreme Court.
Which one of those should Democrats use to fight this?
Downvoted for facts. The truth is more people cared to vote for the Republicans in charge or not at all. Deal with it.
Acting like the Democrats can do anything here is stupid AF and only exists to further depress turnout.
Notice how these people never really seem to direct their ire at the people actually responsible- Republicans and non voters.
