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.

    I’d prefer you answer my question. Are you happy with the current administration’s policy?

      Sticking to the canned messaging only eh. I sure do understand why you’d take that approach.

        You don’t seem to understand anything. It’s a yes or no question.

        Is the current administration’s Israel policy preferable to you?

        You’re not answering because only a psychopath would say yes. But saying no, if you voted 3rd party, is admitting you fucked up. That’s why you avoid it. You can’t admit you’re wrong.

          Just like the vote was a Trump or Harris vote, period? How’d that work out for us champ? Its almost like Harris should have taken a broader view of the concrete issues at hand than just asking the voters to ask themselves “if she was better than trump”, and vote accordingly. Do you notice how that strategy is now being panned as out of touch, full of hubris, and pretty stupid?

          The world is not limited to carefully scripted yes or no’s to the only thing phrased in the only terms you want to talk about. Controlled narrow framings like yours are exactly how we lost, so thank you for your service, finitebanjo.

              All you have is a single note and no one can dance to that.

              But yeah I’m dancing over here. I can dance if I want to. I can leave my friends behind.

                So no one came dance to what I’m saying but you can? Even your metaphors lack cohesion. Guess it’s hard to come up with something coherent when you don’t live in the real world.

                  Is that a sex thing? yeah no thanks bro.

                  you don’t live in the real world.

                  Man, dont I wish. We live in exactly the same world. Theres only one and thats why its worth taking a stand on issues and not being a centrist noodle about everything while leopards eat half your face.

                    You know how I know you’re an unserious person that I can ignore now? When you’re on the ropes you jump on an obvious typo. So long loser.
