Bullshit excuse. When Republicans are in the minority they are obstructionist fucks, getting their message out and actual media attention with performative bullshit, generally being effective as the opposition party. When Dems are in the minority all you get is whiney "somebody do something!" bleets from leadership. This is why we lose, our representatives are unwilling to fight for the people. Moron voters see Trump and Republicans as actually willing to try to do something to improve their lives, while Dems complain about process to cable news hosts nobody watches. The Trump admin is acting lawlessly, and Dems meet that moment by asking Republicans in Congress to do something about it? Fucking hell, do something, show up, fight, inspire, lead.
We lose because people say the two sides are the same and other people believe it.
Then maybe show don't tell people that Dems are not the same. Get caught fighting for the people. Don't do a Monday morning CNN cable hit, or a press conference in front of usaid where you ask politely to be let in and then slink off when your told no. Force your way in to the department of education, get arrested with 30 of your colleagues. Do shit.
If you can’t see democrats aren’t the same as what is happening now I don’t know what will prove it.
No, Dems lose because when they have a small majority there's always a surprise that lo, a couple so-called Dems were funded by fossil fuel companies and don't vote with their party
This also happens when Republicans have a majority. An example was how long it took to elect a Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2023.
Which means the only people left to tell in Congress are the fascists themselves.
Not sure that Congress is gonna have anything to do with resolving this crisis.
Good thing we have the Supreme Court to fall back on in case someone takes over the other two branches.
$Checks to increase their balances$
Sad thing, even this instance is meaningless, if president can just pardon any Nazi out of prison..
And this explains how the country is sleep walking into fascism. What useless limp controlled opposition.
Please call your representative.
All he'll do is put them to sleep. Chuck isn't energizing anything, the dude is a bowl of tepid oatmeal.
Why is this guy still around?
In a word: corruption.
In two words: blatant corruption
In three words: blatant legal corruption
In four words: United States political system
5 words: Corporate dictatorship masquerading as "democracy"
hey man dont be mean rifftrax can be kinda good sometimes
"kinda good sometimes"
Golden Corral's new slogan.
Chuck Schumer should try talking to Chuck Schumer
He's asking you to call your representative. Like literally please do that.
Uhh... Thursday.
