Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party | Common Dreams

"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

    You just say that everyone to your left is a nonvoter as a pretext for ignoring them.

      Eighty million people chose not to vote.

      Now they’re surprised that Trump is doing exactly what he said he would and they’re all asking someone to fix it for them.

        Eighty million people chose not to vote.

        And you assume anyone that contacts their legislators is one of them.

        It’s neat watching “Voting isn’t enough! You need to get involved!” become “Not like that!” when people start holding democrats accountable for their complicity.

          You’re right if enough people get involved maybe they can do something… in two years.

            Until then, they’re going to register their disapproval. I hope they only get louder forever.

            You want them to shut up.

                BULLSHIT.

                You wanted them to shut up during the election too. You don’t care what happens as long as anyone to your left and only your left shuts up.

                  I wanted them to speak up and keep Trump out to keep this from happening.

                  Besides that whatever you think you know about me I’m afraid you don’t.

                    Uh huh. What did you say to people that wanted Biden to stop supporting genocide?
