Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Performative. No meaningful action.
For the people screaming for the Dems to do something: this is it. This is the extent of their power with the number of votes they have. If anything, we should be urging Republican lawmakers to abandon ship.
How about getting a filing of an impeachment notion going? No doubt it'd fail, but it goes on record and everyone who voted against it gets listed. Keep it going and you see the pattern by the time the midterms come around?
Shri Thanedar filed 7 articles this month alone, Al Green filed several back in February.
Not sure what you’re thinking is going to happen right now when dems are a minority in the house and senate.
What did Mitch McConnell do when the Democrats had a supermajority under Obama, sit with his thumb up his ass?
He filibustered.
Cabinet Appointments cannot be filibustered under current senate rules. Same for SCOTUS judges.
He did filibuster Public Option into the grave, though.
Since when did the Republicans give two shits about some bullshit "senate rules?" They just change that shit whenever it suits them.
So do the same.
Sure that's a swell plan, sport.
You only need a simple majority to change senate rules, so you need to convince 4 Republican Senators and 2 Independents, and I think there are maybe 1 or 2 Democrats who might need some arm twisting.
Mitch McConnell had the benefit of dealing with weak, spineless Dem weenies who would roll over for him, even though they had majorities.
MAGA Nazis aren't going to be cooperative.
Well it's a sure thing that nothing will happen if they don't try.
be specific. he also wanted obama to have a single term. That didn't happen.
The Republicans broke the record for obstruction under Obama. We need that to happen right now under Trump.
We need a left Tea Party.
See, your whole "right now" thing is a worry. It implies a belief that the Democrats will ever be allowed any semblance of power in the future.
Get the impeachment going. Even if it fails (it will), the members who vote against it will be noted in time for the time of the midterms. Do it a few times and you can establish a pattern.
people are just pissed and venting about past inaction, is it useful? no, but I think the frustration of your country turning to fascism after Bernie's electoral chances were sabotaged is understandable
wtf?
Bernie ran in pretty successful but also lost the primaries by some pretty sizeable margins.
i actually didn't read into it, I've just always heard the narrative that the DNC snubbed Bearnie, did the propaganda catch me?
You just described her whole political career.
