They are doing a lot of these things, the media is just barely covering it. Here’s that coverage brought up higher. Could they and should they do more, absolutely and do put directed pressure them to do more, but let’s not pretend they are doing nothing. That just creates defeatism instead of the energy we need to keep the pressure up
Handful of the lawsuits that you probably didn’t hear about:
And so many more. There are an insane number of lawsuits going on right now
In delay tactics, they could do more, but they have now starting using them. It’s more than zero that’s for sure. Keep the pressure up here for them to do more. Call your reps to deny unanimous consent more often - it’s starting to get through a bit. Here’s a few examples
The Republicans are a mass shooter massacring children inside a school
The Democrats are the Uvalde police department
They’re just standing around holding their dicks LETTING it happen completely unopposed.
…and the American people are the citizens of Uvalde safe in their homes watching it live on their screens.
No, the US populace is the town of Uvalde then overwhelmingly voting GOP again immediately following their completely preventable tragedy.“Learn nothing, be more confident” is our real motto.
I think your “no” could have been a “yes, and” because I’m right there with thou on this.
“thou”!?
Seriously wtf, autocarrot?
Not all of them, but yeah you’re right.
Everything is an over generalization. Nothing is black and white. Only a sith deals in absolutes.

What do you propose they do?
Legislate, sue, protest, and otherwise make it more annoying for Republicans to do anything.
I get that they’re not the majority, so not much legislation will pass, but they still have tactics to delay any actions.
Why are the Republicans the only ones who can find and exploit loopholes in the constitution?

Handful of the lawsuits that you probably didn’t hear about:
Democratic AGs win preliminary injunction against DOGE access to Treasury payment systems
Gov. Josh Shapiro Says Over $2 Billion of Federal Funding Is Unfrozen for Pennsylvania (following PA’s lawsuit)
20 Dem AGs sue over Trump efforts to fire probationary employees
Democratic AGs sue over cancellation of teacher grants
More than a dozen state attorneys general file lawsuit challenging Musk and DOGE’s authority
Democratic attorneys general sue to block Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship

Senate Democrats Hold Floor In All-Night Protest of Trump’s OMB Nominee (they held it for the maximum 30 hours)
Scoop: Senate Dems delay Tulsi Gabbard nomination (were able to do so because of some procedural stuff with how she filed her clearance)
Senate Democrats delay Kash Patel committee vote
In terms of protests, they are also speaking and rallying at them with again limited coverage. Here’s a few
Democrats Protest Outside USAID Headquarters as Trump Seeks to Dismantle Agency
Democrats and protesters rally outside treasury department to protest Elon Musk’s access to sensitive information – as it happened
Dems protesting outside the department of education, trying to get in and denied entry
Dems protesting outside of the EPA
And so on
thank you
Token efforts…
Best analogy I’ve seen so far, thanks so much.
they aren’t the first person to say that i’ve seen this week, but they are the first person i’ve seen pass it off as their own.
I hadn’t read it as “theirs”, I assume they heard it somewhere and are repeating it just as I plan to do.
