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.

    Is that what maturity looks like? Lol.

    She’s been wildly ineffective, but I’m sure the Dem circle jerk here will tell me to get with the party line. She exists so Republicans can say, “See! They have a lunatic like MTG, too!”. She exists so they can have sound bites for Fox news. She lacks an understanding of how to gain and wield power and that’s a non negotiable part of her job. She would rather put on a hysterical display than do what would make her effective at her job. She is an influencer more than she is a politician and that’s why she resonates with the TikTok generation.

    Keep sending Dems money if you want. I’m done after they couldn’t even close Kamala. No real primaries is over a decade and I was still trying to help them. I’m done. The Dems are complicit. They’re not the same because they’re just as bad, they’re the same because they’re on the same team. Democrats have been nothing but controlled opposition for a long time.
