Klobuchar can’t just “do something”—senators can’t prosecute or override courts. Yelling at her ignores how government works. Demanding the impossible isn’t activism, it’s willful ignorance. Learn how the process actually works! It’s embarrassing to read this shit from our side.
So we sit around, observe the destruction & wait for the midterms & hope we win? You presume that we don’t know how this works. Protest isn’t working. Voters yelling at GOOPS is not working. You lack compassion for the frustration many feel. If it’s hot in her kitchen she should get OUT
Funny how Republicans don't seem to have a problem blocking legislation when they're in the minority. But yeah Democrats are powerless
Republicans can block because they vote how Trump tells them to (and they have the Majority in both houses) and woe unto anyone who doesn't toe the line. Dems always seem to have a Synema, Fetterman, or Manchin, who will defect so they can't seem to block anything.
Oh really? Then why no significant progressive legislation passed while Democrats had majority?
Well, when they had 60 votes(just barely (franken/colmean), we got Obamacare (crappy because of a another traitorous dem Liberman) and that was the last time the Dems had enough of a Majority to do anything. With only a one or two vote majority you weaponize one or two senators to stop everythinng.
Hmm wild that they always seem to have one person to spoil their vote.... do you think they draw straws or does somebody volunteer for the position?
They actually have a name for them.They're called the "Rotating Villain"
You mean they had 60 votes and barely managed to pass Romneycare? What else did they do?
That’s a significant piece of legislation. You’re moving the goal posts now.
I'm not moving anything. I asked what significant piece of progressive legislation was passed when Democrats had majority, and the only example provided was Romneycare
The reality is that the Democratic party is what is known in Political Science as "controlled opposition". The members of the Democratic party have no interest in winning any fights, as long as the fundraising after their defeats is more profitable.
That is an endemic problem with our system Not voting for Dems wont help. We have an older generation of politicians who need to be primaried, but then you have to hold your nose and vote for whatever non Repub is on the ballot. Imagine what Biden could have done with 60 senators!
You said there was none. You were proven incorrect. Now you want more examples.
I was not proven incorrect. Romneycare is NOT an example of progressive legislation, no matter what Fox News said about it.
The infrastructure bill, inflation reduction act, CHIPS and science act. Google is your friend or you can just shit on Democrats for no reason
Because Bad people pretend to be Democrats until they get elected and then they lose their conscience and morals by switching to the Republican Party!
They act all progressive until they get elected then they turn into Reagan
Amazing that y’all can’t even seem to tell the three branches of government apart. The tariffs lawsuit is obviously the sole responsibility of the judiciary — nothing to be done by the legislative branch by blocking legislation or otherwise 🤦🏼 (You can tell because it’s called a LAWsuit.)
Get a clue. You must be one of those incrementalist obstructionist capitalist pig centrists that’s spent generations obstructing the actual left. You gave us Trump. People like you should just sit down and STFU.
