Congress says
Congress is concerned
Congress warns
It is literally your job to prevent these concerns. Stop talking and do something. The old fucks who refuse to leave office have been collecting paychecks while sitting back and doing nothing, progressively giving away their power to the executive branch for the past ~20 years. Now they’re concerned? Too little, too late. Either step up (but watch out for broken hips) or get out of the way.
What are senate dems supposed to do without a majority? The voters decided to prevent them from being able to do anything.
We can take a look at what Republicans do without a majority: stall for time, attack the moral character of the opposition, find loopholes in the procedural process that you’re technically not disallowed to do but annoy the shit out of everyone, and generally be as obstructionist as possible.
The article is about Trump ignoring the law. How do they change that by doing the things you listed?
I wasn’t referring to the article, I was referring to what Senate Democrats can do in the current situation. At bare minimum, that can do what they were elected for as the opposition party. We don’t get even a noteworthy fraction of that, let alone extralegal measures.
As a party, democrats have voted against all of Trumps cabinet picks.
Blaming “Senate Democrats” for the votes of outliers like Fetterman who vote against party lines is disingenuous.
If the law only applies to some people and not the others, it’s not a good law. If the law selective doesn’t apply if you want to hurt other people, it’s your moral duty to ignore it and deal with the problem.
This is the same excuse I’ve heard for 15 years, even while they had a majority. Meanwhile, Republicans seem able to get shit done even while in the minority. I’m tired of excuses. Do something useful or get the fuck out of government.
This is the same excuse I’ve heard every time I point out that dems don’t have enough votes to do something.
When I ask when dems had a majority they point to Manchin or Sinema or Lieberman as their example of a dem majority proving they are arguing in bad faith and/or don’t understand what a supermajority is.
Meanwhile republicans don’t even criticize their own for committing crimes so they continue to win elections.
You’re justifying Dems being ineffectual. We don’t want to hear it anymore. We’re tired of watching Republicans play dirty to get what they want while Democrats sit on their hands and complain that governing is hard. Republicans fight despite the odds and that’s why they win more than they should. Democrats could do the same but they choose not to. I don’t want their excuses. I want them to fight even if they eventually lose the battle. Giving up before it starts is completely unacceptable.
We’re tired of your bad faith arguments.
Yeah, it feels like they can’t do anything but that can’t be right.
When did sitting congress people become MSNBC hosts?
