"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.

    they never will, they are fat and happy right where they are. Even a fascist gov’t is preferrable to giving up access to wealth and influence they enjoy right now. I’d say much more likely is a workers party gaining popularity but that kind of pro-worker party is gonna have a hard time receiving the financial backing the dems and repubs get.

      They think the gravy train lasts forever, seemingly unaware the fascists would be more than happy to see them in the same camps as the rest of us, and would make that happen the moment they get the chance, without a moments hesitation.
