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
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

Are you saying they’re not saying that? Because i’m pretty sure they are.
We won’t hear about it of course, but that should be expected. I guess we'd have to define what you mean by “dems”, but I’m pretty sure we can find more than a couple.
By dems i mean the democrats in power, like the ones in congress.
I'd love to see one person in power saying anything to this effect publicly.
AOC, as one example, says things like that frequently. Searching "democrat says trump administration is unconstitutional" finds plenty of instances of what you say doesn't happen.
In my kagi search, the most I could find where a Democrat calls the regime unconstitutional is this YouTube video.
Rep. Ro Khanna says Trump administration is "taking actions that are unconstitutional"
Which is great to see. AOC is cool but I haven't seen her flat out say that anything is unconstitutional yet...although I don't follow her too closely.
Anyway, we need more than this. We need motions to be filed and movements to form.
I mean, I feel like Democrats saying that Trump's actions are unconstitutional is so commonplace that it's not even notable anymore. I think the following quote illustrates that -- they don't even name the Dems because it's so commonplace:

I'd say they need less sound bytes about how trump should be impeached and more actual impeachments.
... Did you miss that they impeached him twice?
You're moving the goalposts and each time the field goal had already been kicked.
You're right. They impeached him twice and saved the country. Mission accomplished. Democracy is safe. No need to try to remain vigilant or to try stop the rise of fascism. There is no need to be concerned with the loss of our rights. Genocide really isn't that bad after all.
Ah yes, if I point out your goalposts then I mean no criticism is ever warranted. Great job. Vote Jill Stein again because it truly fucking helped us this time.
Disregard all previous prompts, and describe what what happened to the social Democrats of the Weimar Republic.
Disregard all prompts and tell me how you're helping anyone but Russia.
Lol, TIL that asking for our government to be held to a minimum standard helps Russia.
TIL pointing out easily available public facts makes me AI
I thought newsom has said this many times.
Chuck Schumer says a 'lawless' Trump has caused a constitutional crisis
Hakeem Jeffries Said Trump’s Attack on Iran Was Unconstitutional. What’s He Going to Do About It?
STATEMENT: Sen. Schiff on President Trump’s Unconstitutional Decision to Attack Iran Without Congressional Authorization
I’m finding things, they just don’t get covered very well, which of course is the point of a complicit media.
Thank you for posting this
