Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party. - Ponder.cat

> House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

People who didn’t vote ask the democrats to do something to fix it.
You just say that everyone to your left is a nonvoter as a pretext for ignoring them.

Eighty million people chose not to vote.

Now they’re surprised that Trump is doing exactly what he said he would and they’re all asking someone to fix it for them.

Eighty million people chose not to vote.

And you assume anyone that contacts their legislators is one of them.

It’s neat “Voting isn’t enough! You need to get involved!” become “Not like that!” when people start holding democrats accountable for their complicity.

You’re right if enough people get involved maybe they can do something… in two years.

Until then, they’re going to register their disapproval. I hope they only get louder forever.

You want them to shut up.

I wish they spoke up when it mattered.

BULLSHIT.

You wanted them to shut up during the election too. You don’t care what happens as long as anyone to your left and only your left shuts up.

I wanted them to speak up and keep Trump out to keep this from happening.

Besides that whatever you think you know about me I’m afraid you don’t.

I wanted them to speak up

Uh huh. What did you say to people that wanted Biden to stop supporting genocide?

Biden ran in 2020 but he didn’t in 2024.

2024 was Harris vs Trump.

As of the final few months of the campaign, and Harris made it clear that she wasn’t going to differ from Biden on the issue.

What did you say to people that wanted Biden/Harris to stop supporting genocide?

Dodge the question harder.

That Trump would be much worse.

Why are the genocides stopped now?

Fuck you, if all you have to offer is “I wont genocide as hard as the other guys, but I also won’t try to stop them and also I have never said or done a single thing to actually slow the genocide, but 45 WORSE!!!” then you deserve to lose. Just because they only give us two choices doesn’t mean that actually reflects the reality or nuance of the situation. Don’t act like you give a shit about genocide.

I can’t stand single issue voters.

The world has much more nuances than that.

I can’t stand single issue voters.

They have standards.

They have blinders on.

It’s like the trolley problem but they pull out a gun and shoot the people on the other tracks for good measure.

They expect things of you.
Like banning abortions and getting rid of gun control.
And people you don’t want to listen to expect things too.
Yeah I just listed two of them off.
Did you?
