“Forcing recorded votes is possible. Frequent quorum calls are possible. A wide variety of dilatory motions are possible. In short, harassing the majority is possible. If they think it’s a bad idea, say so. If they say it’s not possible, they’re lying.”

I like how politicians voting is considered a time out. It’s their job, jfc.

They actually can’t force votes though, so we’d be getting the same votes and we already knew whenever Republicans stepped out from the ranks such as the Hegseth confirmation where 3 of them abstained but he got appointed anyways. Recorded Votes doesn’t stop the Trump admin. The Dems are effectively powerless without 13 Ind + Gop to impeach and remove him or his cabinet members or corrupt federal judges.

Dems have plenty of options available even as a minority party, they just aren’t doing so.

Leeja is cool but her opinion was that they’re running their tiktok accounts wrong and they were born in the wrong year.

What specifically would YOU do to stop what the Trump admin is doing?

Lmao, I can’t believe that’s what you got from the video. That was not remotely her point. Her entire point is that the Democrats should be using everything within their polical power to obstruct and delay everything the Trump Admin is trying to do. She gave multiple examples of exactly how they can do that. That’s the bare minimum the Democratic Party should be doing. I already participate in local community organizations.

What is it YOU think is in their political power?

People didn’t vote dems into power and that is why we are in the situation we have now.

It sure is neat how powerless the minority has suddenly become.

Democrats have had less than 50 for over a decade, nothing sudden about it.

Their coalition had a majority from 2022-2024. During which time Republicans were all-powerful.

Stop pretending that we didn’t give your party a majority that they squandered.

Um akshually

We gave them 48 + 2 Ind and VP tiebreaker gave them the speaker position. They literally did not even have a simple majority even with the Independents.

Their coalition

Stop making excuses.

Stop pretending that we didn’t give your party a majority

Stop blatantly lying, then?

Who was the senate majority leader from 2020-2022?

The Senate majority leader selected by 48 Dem 2 Ind, and VP Tiebreaker? While the Republicans had exactly 50?
