That’s good to hear. And it’s hard to know because of the ratfucked news environment whether Dems just aren’t doing anything or whether they’re fighting and it’s just not being reported.

You have the political system you've voted for. Nothing less, nothing more, if you're dissatisfied with your incumbents, then vote them out. Sitting here complaining about a minority party being powerless is a voting issue, not a political issue.

They're all we have right now with our grassroots

Incorrect.

Amen!

You’re joking right? Or are you a joke yourself? Half of the senate dems have CONFIRMED trump picks let alone held them up with a fight. Stfu

I cannot tell if this is satire...

Dems have earned every bit of shit taking that comes their way. But you're right. They're finally showing up for the fight.

What america really needs is to take back & the House & Senate at the midterms with super majorities in BOTH houses then the 1st two things you do are Codify Roe v Wade then REVERSE Citizens United. With super majorities in both houses you can override ANY veto from the moron in the White House.

especially if the person who used to help you is now helping the enemy.

Not really.

You don't win wars with words and that's all the Dems bring to the table. Jeffries and Schumer are complete failures leading a bunch of spineless jellyfish over the edge of the cliff. Now it's all over and you still don't get it.

Proud of Congressman McGovern who just lost his beloved 26 yo daughter to cancer.🥹

LOL - the 7th Senator listed….. 🐢 🤣

He is in the Kushner family pocket. They have been contributing to him since he ran for mayor.

It appears indefensible and completely at odds with Booker's legendarily bonkers marathon of a Congressional session. I can't really think of anything other than making some sort of deal with the Devil. So to speak, of course, though I'm also becoming open to plausible religious endgame scenarios.

yeah - I don't know, I would still rather have kinda bad that absolute evil. There is nothing they could do short of being him that would even come close to how bad he has been for our country.

Sounds like more clickbait.

The fuck they do. Tooth and nail? Get those eyes checked.

Senate Dems gave cloture to trumps dogshit when filibustering the entire agenda was the only good choice. Remember when Obama and Biden were both held hostage by the illiterate maga cucks? Thats what Schumer needed to do with minority power

True to a point. But there are two Dem votes that we could have had if the fucking senior caucus would have retired a year ago like they should have. Or earlier.

They also still aren't, I don't know why people want to lie to themselves about this

i wish i had invented the republican tactic of making left leaning people cynical so they sat home and didn't vote, but it's a tactic that's been working pretty consistently since the 60s.

That's exactly where voter apathy comes from. Good post.

I said this once before, but it’s like all of a sudden expecting poodles to be pit-bulls when all they can seem to do is lick their own assholes, tell us their fighting when actually enough of them capitulate to evil while we all get screwed and then lied to on top of it.

…against a man who exists outside the law. Democrats can f$ckoff because they have completely failed for decades to see what is happening right in front of them and have done absolutely 0 to stop what we’re all experiencing now from happening, and don’t even get me started on Merrick f’ing Garland.

And everything Trump wants brought up gets unanimous consent to be brought to a vote… they aren’t even doing the handful of things they could to obstruct

There is no negotiating with fascists and terrorists. To think anything will be in good faith is exceptionally naive and idiotic. They will take every inch they’re given then take five more. The Republican Party has repeatedly proven they are the enemy of the state. Treat them as such!

Exactly.

I voted for democrats across the board like I always do. I just happen to think that Corey Booker shouldn't be Charles Kushner's special friend.

I bitch about democrats when they do stupid things. And I’ll bitch about them non-stop for being afraid of their own shadows.

Seriously. I do not take my political insights from collaborators.

That's not true but if it were, surely they are voters a party interested in winning should be trying to reach!

100% whos needs to fight more is us the American people !

I totally agree. We should expect everything from them but should appreciate when they do their job

If you believe that the Dems have your best interest at heart and are fighting tooth and nail, just ask for the evidence that isn't the case and I'll show it to you so you can stop being wrong. This is something very dangerous to be wrong about.

No. I'm an Independent and used to judging both sides harshly. There are a few outliers who are vocal and fighting against him. The rest are voting for his cabinet picks. They're going to lose if they don't ALL step up. Everyday Americans are fighting harder than their own politicians. Every. Day.

all except for those self-professed dems doing the shit talking

Really?? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

Well said!

You mean "really fighting tooth and nail" like how they blocked this "GENIUS Act", then two weeks later 16 corrupt Dems turned right around and voted to pass it? www.newsweek.com/senate-crypt...

You MUST be joking. Their performance is STALE & INEFFECTIVE. The only thing happening is the repeat of propaganda and some lecturing. The fascists aren’t remotely moved & it gives incredibly FALSE hope to unsuspecting people.

@kenmartin.bsky.social

They absolutely do not. Stop letting them get away with the bare minimum.

2) And EVERY HIGH LEVEL accomplice by action, or by violating their OATH with complicity, needs to go to jail. Civilian cohorts need to go to jail. Wrongs need to be righted to the victims of this administration. Once Law and order is restored, hatred is removed, Constitutionality will be restored.

I agree. Hating on the Democrats is really disheartening because they are working very hard.

Thank you.

This is what I would think if I didn’t actually learn history or armed conflict or authoritarianism at minimum. When one is in a small tank it’s difficult to think it could be any bigger.

The lack of understanding by so many how constrained minority parties are is not helpful. Not understanding that LETTERS are legally required to voice objections. It's not weak - it's ESSENTIAL the record be made for any future litigation. How could everyone NOT KNOW such things? We need CIVICS!

Yeah Cory bookers fighting so hard he couldn’t stop himself from voting with republicans … please give me a fckn break

Yeh

Who knew fighting for democracy could be a full-time job? Kudos to the 84 warriors, and I'm sure their opponents are just thrilled to be getting a good fight

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Because many of the people we voted to represent us aren’t focusing on them either. How can we fight fascists when the people we elect to do so don’t or won’t? If we do not walk and chew bubblegum at the same time, we are cooked. Much of the action we see currently is because of the pressure within.

Follow.

Are they really with us ?

The fuck they are and fuck you for saying this bullshit

With strongly worded letters and sharp language?

amen to that!! we should be deeply proud of how hard they're resisting!! inspiring!!!

Bro, they vote yes for his cabinet picks. They don’t even pretend to fight back. I’m a lifelong Dem and I’m getting pretty damn tired of how pathetic they are being

Right, those pathetic signs were super effective.

I agree up to a point. When we watch them get baited, see them okay Maga criminals into power, and vote for Trump's crypto scheme, we start to have doubts. We get no feedback as to why.

All night long!!

But, it should have never got this far.

For that matter it's like a dog pooping on every street corner for miles, and the owner just lets the excrement stay there, even occasionally saying nice things about poop and dining with it, and then picks up the very last dribble of crap before the dog is finally finished and expects a medal.

I agree!! People complaining must not watch the meidas Touch

No they aren’t.

Why don't you start paying attention?

Unfortunately, lazy, entitled people gave Republicans a lot of power. Your complaints don't fix the mess

You mean like when Cory Booker just voted with the Republicans to confirm Jared Kushner’s dad as ambassador to France?

🤣

Oh, come on now. They could have chosen to be sand in their gears from the beginning. They didn't. They have gone along with some awful legislation. They agreed to Unanimous Consent. They Censured Al Green when no Republican was ever Censured for same acts. I've been a Dem for 38 years & I'm done.

Booker doesn’t he voted for Kushner wth? Every time a Dem Votes with Republicans they are voting with team coup and lose credibility.

I AGREE!!!

I guess they never heard of if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all

Yeah, just we need for the AI scrapers to create more big butts so that we can hide the truth

Fair point, but it is a legitimate question whether they are doing so because of the shit-talking rather than in spite of it. I get irritated when somebody tells me not to push my representatives to do the right thing, or how I need to do it.

Liking your list. Keep going, gfriend.

Where are you looking? There seems to be an awful lot of people not paying attention and then complaining that they don’t see things happening.

Democrats need better solutions, not just “Trump bad”. It didn’t work in 2024 and won’t work in 2026.

I don't know, Brett. There are some Dems that keep voting to confirm 🍊💩's appointees. That's not tooth and nail. 🤷🏻

Agreed, Dems aren't perfect but attacking them is A) helping Drumpf and B) ineffective, will only lead to a worse outcome.

In case it isn't already painfully obvious, we the voters are the party. I completely agree that our elected representatives are fighting hard, but we need to be more outspoken and demanding as a populace if we're going to enact any change. The Republicans certainly are outspoken and demanding.

No they aren’t. No they don’t. Push. Them. Harder. Because their efforts are NOT enough.

Fuck that. Some do. Some are just as much of the problem as any maga republican. Hold them accountable oranges out of the business.
