What do you want them to do exactly? What I HOPE they are doing is coming uo with the counterpoint to Project 2025. |
It absolutely does not count. Even if the Democrat candidate wins, I lose. The party is rudderless. I find myself disagreeing more and more with the loudest voices in the party. Worse, they don’t even see how they hurt the Democratic Party brand even in the face of Trump. 2028 will be a rebuttal against MAGA not because of the Democrats’ platform. A dead cow shouls be able to beat Trump if nominated for the party. History has show us it will take at least 50 years for the turbulence to end. I’m too old to be able to see that time. My vote won’t stop the insanity. My party will beat Trump and MAGA but it won’t bring back sanity. My vote absolutely won’t count. |
I think they should've had a counterplan to Project 2025 a year ago, but today would be great. They should be loudly and continuously calling for the impeachment of Trump and his merry band of morons. They should be showing up at ICE facilities demanding to be let in to conduct oversight. Democratic governors should be arresting and charging ICE agents who break the law in their states or who impede police investigations. They should be passing and enforcing legislation disallowing ICE agents from covering their faces and badges. They should be actually answering phone calls and emails from their constituents, holding town halls, and doing what they can to help their constituents who are under attack by this administration. They can't just sit on their hands until the next election. They were elected and represent millions of people. Those people deserve ACTIVE representation, not "whatdyawantustodo." |
| Trump has been flooding the zone for a year, can you please give Dems a break for how to catch up. We're all exhausted and many of them are helping with state fires. |
This is the kind of pathetic attitude that the DNC is full of. |
| None of this will end until we get rid of Citizens United and Corporations are People. Which will never happen because money. So the US is just royally effed. |
Voting is only step one. Yes it's harm reduction, but I'd say we need some harm reduction right now. So vote, whether you think it matters or not. But don't stop there. Stay on your representatives asses. Pay attention and make sure they know you're paying attention. Get active in your community. We do not need the federal government to do everything. Your local community has needs and helping at that level is going to have the biggest impact on your daily life. Pick an issue and get active. Do not simply complain and give up. That's exactly how everything got so bad. |
They tried nothing and they're exhausted and all out of ideas. |
But it’s a snow day! |
That is exactly my point. DNC is bought out and washed up. We need people like Mamdani and Sanders who can actually channel grassroots energy. Old, bought-out asshats like Kamala are not what is needed in this moment. |
They shut down the government. They've visited ICE facilities. They've done townhalls in red states. They've joined protests. Many of them have voted against every single nomination. They've tried to enter public buildings during DOGE. They've been on social media every day educating the public. They've recorded the GOP's lies on congressional record (to preserve for history). I think they've been too nice, but it's disingenuous to say they've done nothing. |
You KEEP escalating. You keep up the pressure. You don't throw up your hands and say "whelp we tried" and call it a day. They sought power and got it. They now have a responsibility to use it. |
I agree with you! I'm frustrated with them as a party, but not all individually. |
