"It's not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn't have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It's about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn't. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs," she claimed in a social media publication.

All fair and good to "SLAM" him, but also fucking do something about it.

All the fucking Dems do is complaining, never any fucking actions. They have the power to

Do what about it? They're not in charge. Of anything.

imagine a person with physical access to congress having no idea of how to stop the regime

Americans are so useless lmao

They have seats in whatever Americans call the equivalent to the Parliament, they can propose laws

Ah yes, in the same House that the Republican leaders have on indefinite recess.

Next looming manufactured-by-Republican crisis: That budget deal that reopened the government only lasts through the end of this month. They aren't passing a budget if they aren't in session!

They can at the very least stall that shit, or take it to court

Congress wasn't asked. They weren't even told.

This is now a one man show.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Why would they? Their voting base is happy to give them every excuse possible to not try anything at all. Why try anything? It's Republican's fault and any attempt to criticize neo-liberal Democrats who do nothing at all will be shot down as somehow defending Republicans. If you keep demanding action they'll call you maga and block you.

Unless they have enough support from the other side right now, those laws die immediately.

At this point I dont think the dems want to. The system is operating almost exactly how it should be by their standards.
