If democrats want real change they will make AOC speaker of the house
You need to be the majority party to be Speaker. The most they could do is Minority Leader. And I don’t see Jeffries giving that up any time soon.
What can they do?
According to their leader, Jeffries they aren’t in power. How about not show up and vote for fascist nominees.
According to the article:
Holy shit. @schumer.senate.gov and the Senate Democrats couldn’t object to a basic UC (unanimous consent) time agreement to slow down a nominee like Gabbard?
If they wasted everyone’s time then they would be just as bad as the fascists.
When Obama had a supermajority, the other spray tanned asshole John Boner(Baener) and McConnell worked together to make Obama look a fool and he ended up caving on a public option and failed until they lost their majority.
They spent years trying unsuccessfully to throw out the Affordable Care act more than 40 times, the Dems just want to fail because any success for the little people would mean less profits for their donor overlords.
The point is to prevent republicans from passing legislation that will ban abortion statewide, gut Medicare, cut off social security, etc. It’s called a “delay” tactic. Otherwise republicans will take away everyone’s freedoms.
They aren’t using delay as a tactic, they are barely even out in the press calling this fascist coup out. They are so slow to react that they are still on sternly worded letters about things done on Jan 28th.
I think that’s literally their point…
If the Schumer fits
If the party that is supposed to be the resistance is taking cash to snuff the resistance then …
