Antifar 02/11/25 8:53:48 PM #1:	https://www.axios.com/2025/02/12/democrats-jeffries-move-on-indivisible-trump A closed-door meeting for House Democrats this week included a gripe-fest directed at liberal grassroots organizations, sources tell Axios. Why it matters: Members of the Steering and Policy Committee with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in the room on Monday complained activist groups like MoveOn and Indivisible have facilitated thousands of phone calls to members' offices. "People are pissed," a senior House Democrat who was at the meeting said of lawmakers' reaction to the calls. The Democrat said Jeffries himself is "very frustrated" at the groups, who are trying to stir up a more confrontational opposition to Trump. A Jeffries spokesperson noted to Axios that their office regularly engages with dozens of stakeholder groups, including MoveOn and Indivisible, including as recently as Monday Zoom in: "There were a lot of people who were like, 'We've got to stop the groups from doing this.' ... People are concerned that they're saying we're not doing enough, but we're not in the majority," said one member. Some Democrats see the callers as barking up the wrong tree given their limited power as the minority party in Congress: "It's been a constant theme of us saying, 'Please call the Republicans,'" said Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.)[Antifar's note: Virginia has two Democratic Senators] "I reject and resent the implication that congressional Democrats are simply standing by passively," said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.). The other side: "People are angry, scared, and they want to see more from their lawmakers right now than floor speeches about Elon Musk," Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg told Axios. "Indivisible is urging people who are scared to call their member of Congress, whether they have a Democrat or Republican, and make specific procedural asks," Greenberg said. "Our supporters are asking Democrats to demand specific red lines are met before they offer their vote to House Republicans on the budget, when Republicans inevitably fail to pass a bill on their own." --- Please don't be weird in my topics <cite>Antifar posted [p:984012407] in Democrats ...

Lord_of_BeefDip 02/11/25 9:04:42 PM #15:	Fucking weak ass losers. Even when Obama won in a landslide in 2008 and had a supermajority in the Senate, you didn't see Republicans cowering and whining they were in the majority and wondering what they could do. No, while they were absolutely in the wrong morally, their leadership met in literal smoke filled backrooms, with the explicit goal of denying Obama any accomplishments, and to make him a one term president. That is what Democrats should be doing now. Filing legislation nonstop to try and gum up the administration, filing lawsuits where applicable, filibustering everything the Trump admin wants or any GOP legislation, and when they have any free time from all that, go on any network willing to have them, bring up every bit of nonsense that Trump is doing and that the limp dick GOP in Congress is enabling, and beyond that go to any public venue that will let them speak, talk to people and constituents of what's happening and what they are doing to help stop it and help the American people. <cite>Lord_of_BeefDip posted [p:984012523] in Democrats ...

GrandConjuraton 02/11/25 9:51:52 PM #35:	Red_XIV posted... As usual, people don't grasp that Congressional Democrats have no power right now. There is no action that can be taken legislative to stop Trump, because his sycophants control both the House and Senate. Democrats in state governments have to oppose Trump. The people in general need to take to the streets. If you want actual, how about a general strike? Lord_of_BeefDip posted... Fucking weak ass losers. Even when Obama won in a landslide in 2008 and had a supermajority in the Senate, you didn't see Republicans cowering and whining they were in the majority and wondering what they could do. No, while they were absolutely in the wrong morally, their leadership met in literal smoke filled backrooms, with the explicit goal of denying Obama any accomplishments, and to make him a one term president. That is what Democrats should be doing now. Filing legislation nonstop to try and gum up the administration, filing lawsuits where applicable, filibustering everything the Trump admin wants or any GOP legislation, and when they have any free time from all that, go on any network willing to have them, bring up every bit of nonsense that Trump is doing and that the limp dick GOP in Congress is enabling, and beyond that go to any public venue that will let them speak, talk to people and constituents of what's happening and what they are doing to help stop it and help the American people. --- Goodness knows, the wicked's lives are lonely; goodness knows, the wicked die alone. https://imgur.com/o21DN7r <cite>GrandConjuraton posted [p:984012985] in Democrats ...

Jeff_AKA_Snoopy 02/11/25 11:08:10 PM #46:	This is something the dems need to understand. Clearly more than 50% of the electorate DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS! When the Republicans basically stopped caring about regular government decorum and started to spread disinformation, the Dems are sitting there assuming everyone knows "they can't do anything" Realize that the schools haven't taught people how the government works, and the Republicans have shown you don't need to know the rules or follow the regular ways to get things done. Start fucking teaching people how this works instead of acting all superior about it. See your electorate for what they are, not what you want them to be. Basically half the country was willing to vote for Trump. That is how uneducated so many people are.

Board_hunter567 02/11/25 11:59:18 PM #49:	To be fair, they're not doing nothing. They're just doing things the way they always have - taking rational, reactive, by-the-books measures, all of which. progress. very. slowly. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25511884-jeffries-dear-colleague-feb-3-2025/ Every day brings with it a new bombardment of headlines to doomscroll through, seemingly to intentionally bury whatever Democrats may be trying to do. People are freaking out, rightfully so. The fabric of US government, upheld purely on the concept of good faith, is crumbling and every time a piece breaks off people wonder what Democrats plan to do about it. Trump, Musk, The Heritage Foundation, etc. keeping taking broad, bold, seemingly instantaneous action and people want the supposed opposition to respond in kind. They don't want court rulings and lawsuits that come days later which may end up toothless anyways. The unfortunate reality is that public demonstrations will fail and fizzle out, if they even get off the ground, and there's no Fox News equivalent soapbox for the left. Democrats are backed into a corner and are, per usual, "completely powerless" to do anything to stop Republicans only this time for real. Keeping their heads down and maintaining their cool in Congress and various courts is probably the better play, but that is such weak energy compared to what Republicans have. The likes of Newt Gingrich taught the GOP to fight dirty, speak loudly, and Democrats cannot or will not do the same even in the most dire of circumstances - which is especially egregious considering they knew this day would come and are proceeding like business as usual. We're staring into the abyss and their first response is to check in with their donors before calling a meeting. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.
