The first step is to replace Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies
I want the secret third thing: strongly worded letters!
Maybe the Iranians will be more forgiving if we deal with Trump.
Hungarian here, our current leaders do both.
And I mean they are just doing the bare fucking minimum, sometimes badly, and even that is a major breath of fresh air compared to the likes of Biden or Merz
Idk if you liberals realize it but this isn’t them debating what they can manage to do. It’s them trying to figure out the bare minimum they can do without people rioting. They don’t want to do any of it. If you want them to do it all you need to be… well… rioting.
Seriously. I imagine your downvotes came from the terminally naive.
Do we wanna punish the pedophile President who ate babies her raped with Epstein on that island, inspired an insurrection, fucked our entire economy up, got us into another forever war, and ruined our reputation with our allies, undid tons of civil rights we gained in the last 50 years, or do we want eggs and gas to not cost so damn much?
We cannot have both?
Fuck me sideways, I’m so glad the Do-Nothing Democraps are in power now. I really really REALLY hope the more progressive wing can pressure the corpo dems into capitulation. If not, we are boned.
We’re already boned. We’ve been in a “Boned” state since the government started ignoring Due Process.
The only way to unbone us is to get organized, and get armed. Liberty can only exist when the government fears the populace.
Obama had both Houses and it was an uphill fight to get the ACA passed.
Trump is going to veto everything.
Why are people acting like the Dems have absolute power?
In true centrist Democrat fashion, when the going get tough, roll over and don’t try because it’s too hard.
So, nothing like an actual plan? No idea whatever? Nothing?
Progressives have been stating what they plan to enact but of course you’ve not been listening, just cowering away in the corner scared of what Republicans will do instead being an advocate of what Democrats should do.
To quote Warren in her recent message to Democrats after the massive wins:
“Now, Democrats must deliver,” the progressive senator wrote, urging her party to push Trump to live up to his vow to work with Democrats in the new Congress. “We should force him to do that on the affordability and corruption issues that drove this election—or call his bluff.”
the ACA was a republican created stop gap to hold up a failing system. the democrats then agreed to do it and not HFA because they are beholden to the same masters, and that’s when the republicans started to call it obama care, and stripped out nearly all consumer protections, and put a timer on the rest.
the dems were happy to capitulate to the right at each step.
But don’t forget that Obama and the rest of the Democrats and few progressives at the time did try to get a public option in with the ACA but was cockblocked by neo-liberal Joe Liberman.
i suppose the argument here is that there was a lone traitor as to the reason that the dems capitulated to the republicans like always. but that i feel is too charitable a take when we know they count their votes and choose the person to take the fall. shummer and jefferies follow the same tendencies, they just don’t like to be openly blamed for orchestrating their failures. at this point it’s irresponsible to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Why are you ignoring the basic numbers?
Trump can veto anything the Dems bring up.
How do you plan to get around that.
make him veto it. it’s not like they do any work over there anyway. the sheer amount of fuckery the republicans did without any power either A. ruined all democrat momentum, rendering them more then useless. or B. gave the dems cover to push rightward like they are instructed.
and why would you care? unless you are fighting against progressive movement?
there are a lot of people on here who are claiming to be “center” and always demanded the progressive base to “compromise” with hitler
So, I ask a question in good faith and get called Hitler?
Where did I say anything about compromising?
I asked for a plan and I get nothing.
Plenty of people voted for Obama twice, then voted for Trump three times, and then voted Blue in 2026.
i didn’t say you were like hitler, i said you would compromise with hitler
the kind of person who would vote for obama twice then vote for trump twice, and then vote for blue wave in the mid terms is a voter who is short sighted, and only interested in their own comfort over the lives of everyone else. great that their selfishness coincidentally aligned them selves with progressive ends. but you are not going to get sympathy from me for people who are so selfish. people pretending they have morals after being ate by the leapords is ridiculous
Schuck and Hakeem Doolittle aren’t going to do shit. That’s why they both need to go.
If Schumer and Jeffries are put back in leadership roles you can just expect more of democrats fondling trumps Nazi pedophile nuts.
A good start would be releasing the Epstein files. It would take you about 10 minutes.
You forget there is more than one US President in the Epstein files.
Don’t think any one finds that a problem. Expose them all.
Political suicide means nothing if one dies a martyr
Do you fuckers understand that you can’t have affordability without accountability? How do you think we got to this point in the first place? From letting the billionaires fuck us over from every direction with impunity for decades.
They know that if they are successful in persecuting republicans for war crimes. Democrats would also be held accountable when they do war crimes
That would be prosecution, not persecution.
As some have already pointed out, some of these things are very much linked.
If you get accountability for launching a war on Iran because donnie is a goddamned idiot that hates Obama so much, well, that is related to affordability. Gas/diesel shot way up as a result, and that impacts the price of everything.
Same for the accountability of donnie throwing tariffs on everything.
More importantly, you don’t fix affordability, until you unwind corruption. That’s the Mandate Dems were elected on, breaking corruption’s death grip on the economy. If they fail to deal with the corruption, affordability isn’t going to get better.
And for fuck’s sake, as part of that own the anti-data center issue. It’s appalling to have that giant activating winner of an issue just hanging out there and no one in politics claiming it.
Do you want to afford your energy and not have your home that you can’t afford to leave become a living hell? Well let’s stop these assholes who have been shoveling money at Trump’s vanity projects from having free reign to do literally anything they want without accountability.
Exactly, but noticed how to two guys who want to lead the party only want to focus on affordability. With Trumps veto power it up hill battle. They definitely should still fight it. But if we don’t address the accountability part that they do have the power to address. Then we have no rule of law and Trump and co, and those in the shadows will see that they can do whatever the hell they want without consequences.
lol pick one. Fucking amerikkka
On the Accountability thing, I think there is a subtle thing to understand here. While Republicans had the majority during the last half of the Bide administration, dingbats like Jim Jordan were using the power of Congressional committees to investigate things that the Administratio did that they didn’t like. There was no real legal basis for the investigations, other than some officials did things that hurt Conservative’s fragile egos.
Those investigations has two goals: one was to demoralize Federal officials, but the other was to be able to turn around later and accuse the other side of wielding Government as a weapon when they are in power, because they understand it can motivate their side to vote.
We al need to understand that this is the real reason why some Democrats seem tepid on this accountability thing, it’s because they think it might rile up the deplorables. But, I think it is important to note the key difference between now and prior Presidencies: the Trump administration constantly violates the law. All. The. Time.
I think if Democrats limit their investigations to obvious violates of the law over the past 2 years, they will have more than enough to look at. Simply asking why US citizens keep getting detained by ICE ought to lead to some ICE administrators going to jail, shouldn’t it?
Committee chairs for the next session of congress are already promising prosecutions.
If Democratic leadership is truly serious about a both approach, I think they should first start heavily and only with Epstein files and only branch out from there as things get major coverage for 2 major reasons:
First is that there’s MAJOR bipartisan support for this and will ultimately lead to isolating certain officials and supporters, giving Democrats the moral high ground in other branching investigations IF they can land convictions and legislation. I’d like to hope that there are at least a few Republicans who are disgusted with their party as a whole (ie Thomas Massie) and are being backed into a corner with campaign finances, and this could free a few votes for later bills or a Senate convictions/removals.
Secondly, i have zero doubt those investigations will lead to certain billionaires being questioned and potentially lead to actual trials and accountability. And if progressives play their questions right, could lead to a public outcry for more campaign finance AND News coverage reform.
Meanwhile, they should pass single issue, high polling bills like tariff reform and ending the Iran conflict. Then once some dust settles a bit and there’s the inevitable Epstein tie-in, publicly investigate corporate pricing/inflation.
