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 basically just described my politics lol. I’ve been saying forever that the left needs to adopt guns as part of their platform. It’s not exactly prophetic at this point to say that authoritarianism almost always comes from the right. The 2A is arguably more important for the left to take seriously. You gotta be able to defend yourself from fascism and anything else they try to pull.
