Republicans arent showing up to hear the message, so let's shit talk the dems.
You aren't crazy. This shit is fucked up.
Be mad about it. Be frustrated. Figure out what you can do about it in your circle of influence.

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!

It’s remarkable that so many are blaming Democrats for what’s happening, instead of the Republicans doing the things, people who voted for the Republicans doing the things, and non-voters who decided they don’t care about Republicans doing the things.
No wonder your country is fucked.
Obviously, the Republicans are the party that's pushing and doing all this stupid shit, but the Democrats are not using the power they have to impede them. The CR that the Democrats helped pass removes the power from Congress to remove Trump's tariffs, for example. And the Democratic party keeps following the losing strategy of moving further right. I don't think they actually care about winning the presidency or congress again; they just want to keep the corporate donors.

What would constitute fighting?
People keep complaining about Democrats not doing anything, but under current constraints there isn't much they can do.
People seem to spend more time complaining about Democrats not opposing Republicans than they do complaining about Republicans destroying America.
I hear you - I see plenty of outrage about Republican action though. What can Democrats really do but try to rely on Judges to do their jobs and campaign until midterms. Maybe they can rally enough people to march on Washington, but that may just speed up authoritarian gains.
Both sides seem to always act like the other side is tyrannical because the other side is doing things they don't like. And unless they cheated, they are doing what they were voted in to do. (Unless they lied about what they were going to do.)

people should just admit thier really right wing voters deep inside, there are plenty of people that votes as A D, but profess ideas and beliefs that of a republican, not necessarily a magat. there is a reason why we have so many DINOs in the DNC
