Whenever I see posts like this, my question is: What constitutes "something?"

Democrats vote against all the Republican bills.

Cory Booker is filibustering a bunch of judicial appointments.

They're banging the drum about how horrible everything Trump is doing is.

They support the suits and the protests.

What do you want? It seems like people just want to complain about the Democrats regardless of the realities of the situation.

Democrats vote against all the Republican bills

If this were even true (what was Schumer in hot water over again?), what the fuck does 'voting against republican bills' do when the black-shirts are already rounding up immigrants?

Democrats can't run around screaming about the end of democracy for 8 years and then wax romantic about the need for 'bipartisanship' when they're starting to line people up against the wall.

Okay then, I repeat: what should they be doing?

I would have liked them to push on how Trump and a bunch of other republicans are not eligible for office because of the insurrection. Go for blood. Refuse to acknowledge that that these people hold office.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

They did. There were campaign ads with footage from Jan 6th. They repeatedly called Trump a traitor on the campaign trail.

You clearly didn't watch any of it, so did you just presume they never brought it up.

Not "supported" in the past tense. What should they be doing now?

Calling him a traitor on the campaign trail isn't the same as actually enforcing the law, at gunpoint if need be. Laws don't matter if they're not enforced. They should be physically removing the republicans from office.

The Supreme Court said they couldn't.

Let them enforce their decision, then.

Look, I don't really want a civil war or constitutional crisis, but under no circumstances should we have let the republicans proceed as they have.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But we did.

Now. What. Do. You. Want?

I have asked this question at least five times in under an hour and I have not gotten one answer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I want republicans dead. That's not really practical but that's what I want. Every republican up against the wall. The big players can get a guillotine.

More practically? Probably impeachment proceedings, noncompliance, fillibuster, malicious compliance, push hard to the left and sell people on a future that's not climate collapse and wage slavery.

Dems already did all of those things, and then they lost the election because Leftists are morons.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No they literally didn't do most of those things. We've been paying attention.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Debating whether it's worth it to find links showing you Democrats doing all those things. You'll probably just vanish afterwards, like all the propagandists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't do it. I'm convinced in what I think.

Fair enough, thanks
