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.

    Democrats suck the fattest corporate dick, lovingly, and laugh at the poor fighting amongst themselves, but it’s not good to dilute such a serious label as fascist with something you don’t like.

      Nothing is ‘diluted’ about that term. Being complicit in genocide, extreme violence and prosecution simply for protesting it. Putting kids in cages, imperialism, regime change, warmongering, and plenty more. They are fascist, they’re just too full of themselves to admit it. It’s not good to negate these serious facts just because you don’t like it.

        Your final little retort there mocking me is the most childish thing I’ve read on the internet in a little bit. You can compare a mountain to a molehill if you like but I think we have bigger problems to worry about.

        What solution do you propose to not working with the Democrats right now? Splitting the party and forming a progressive party hoping for scraps from the right that just want guns AND weed and don’t care about trans folks? What’s your plan besides being angry at Corporate Democrats? Have you donated to any of our more progressive Representatives?

          Nobody needs to split anything or work with them. 3rd parties already exist, even if they get scammed and sabotaged by your beloved party. “donated to any of our more progressive Representatives” LOL let me know who these ‘progressives’ are. BTW I’m European, not from your uniparty pseudo democracy and therefore can think outside the box. Your county’s politics are ridiculous and embarrassing. I’m really happy you got Trump. Him destroying your country is the best thing that could happen for the world.

              Then shut the fuck up you aren’t a welcome part of this conversation

              The centrist response to anyone being unhappy with Netanyahu’s wing of the party.

                Your solution please? I’m not holding anyone without one that wants to chirp in very high regard.

                  At the moment, the party needs to do what it can. They need to gum up the works. They need to go on the fucking attack.

                  What they don’t need to do is continue with this mealy-mouthed bipartisan shit. They don’t need any more unanimous confirmations.

                  Now order me to shut up because that’s the closest thing any centrist has ever had to a solution.

                    Did I disagree with any of what you said anywhere? That’s working with the party. I’m looking for a plan from anybody saying to split the party. Those are good ideas that I agree with and have been pushing my state reps for.

              LOL look at him seething. Your meddling imperialist regime and its horrible politics are a plague for the entire world so it does concern us. If it bothers you, then stay TF out of everyone’s bussiness. You really are a typical american. Thinking he can decide who can speak. Pretentious AF. Anyway, enjoy coping with your loss and becoming even more of a poor backward shithole. You’re all top entertainment.

                So you don’t have a solution, have only an imagined dog in the race, and like name calling. You sound like a typical American too.

                  I told you the solution, you having trouble with comprehensive reading? I know literacy is appauling over there but still. Or continue your race to the bottom with these 2 forever worse parties and learn nothing. From the many tonedeaf and vile frustrated reactions of dem loser politicians and voters I fear this will be the case. They rather blame people for not voting for genocide joe or genocide copmala. Both of these parties serve only the upper class.

                  I will leave you with some words from 1870. Even then it was painfully obvious they both shit on you dumb plebs that fall for their little act.

                  Nowhere do “politicians” form a more separate, powerful section of the nation than in North America. There, each of the two great parties which alternately succeed each other in power is itself in turn controlled by people who make a business of politics, who speculate on seats in the legislative assemblies of the Union as well as of the separate states, or who make a living by carrying on agitation for their party and on its victory are rewarded with positions. It is well known that the Americans have been striving for 30 years to shake off this yoke, which has become intolerable, and that in spite of all they can do they continue to sink ever deeper in this swamp of corruption.

                  Hey, do something unamerican, try reading a book sometimes.
