Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party | Common Dreams

"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

    As of the final few months of the campaign, and Harris made it clear that she wasn’t going to differ from Biden on the issue.

    What did you say to people that wanted Biden/Harris to stop supporting genocide?

    Dodge the question harder.

        Fuck you, if all you have to offer is “I wont genocide as hard as the other guys, but I also won’t try to stop them and also I have never said or done a single thing to actually slow the genocide, but 45 WORSE!!!” then you deserve to lose. Just because they only give us two choices doesn’t mean that actually reflects the reality or nuance of the situation. Don’t act like you give a shit about genocide.
