[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff's title post today was spot on, as usual. He stated that Democrats are twiddling their thumbs as a four-alarm fire engulfs our democracy.  He pointed out a lot of what Democrats should not be doing, which is all correct.  He mentioned that Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez went and spoke and drew huge crowds.  Great.

What *should* other democrats be doing?  Can we get specific and then demand it?  I agree that vetoing the crypto bill is obvious. What else? Can they bring Congress to a standstill? BArnstorm the nation? Protest in the streets?  What next in the leadership of the moment?[/quote]

How about finding common ground on Republican policies, getting them passed, and making America great again.  Dems will find that passing popular policies will lead to election wins.  [/quote]
Like secured borders?[/quote]

I'm forgetting the candidate, but there was a debate where he said(lied), "We have the same position on X".

Democrats need to do this with immigration.  Instead, they oppose Trump everywhere, and claim that Trump prevented a solution on the border.
Biden let in 62,000 people at the border in May 2024.  Trump let in 0.  This was a choice, and that supposed bipartisan bill would have just codified the lawlessness into law.
Trump fixed it without needing a bill.

How will Democrats tell the country that it won't happen again.

"We have the same position as Trump on immigration."

I blame so much of the downfall of the party on Biden. It spoke volumes about his character that he wanted to virtue signal and open up the border to potential criminals all to spite Trump and spent the entire remainder using his DOJ to prosecute Trump . A leader is supposed to keep continuity on the things that are popular  with the people. For example, Obama kept the Bush tax cuts  and didn’t just close Guantanamo and risk Americas security just to virtue signal to the left. Similarly, Trump despite the bravado did not repeal Obamacare after Republicans realizes it was too popular with their own base and their older and poor base may die without health insurance . Biden flipped on illegal immigration just to prove a point to trump and it backfired on him[/quote]
