[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 day ago

It needs pictures for a toddler.

Complicit in their ineffectiveness.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

at last, the voters' letter writing campaign to Jeffries and Schumer urging them to write a VERY strong letter to the president has been victorious. This is what democracy looks like. /s

Sending a letter to a man who cant read is insulting.
Put on a puppet show. You have to go down to his level.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 day ago

That would be S-tier trolling. Too bad the Democrats won’t do it.

[-] bluelabel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He will just use it as toilet paper which he desperately need

[-] webdoodle@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

The democrats are complicit in every way. They don't actually fight against the fascism, they just slow walk doing anything about it, and give lip service to there voters, while taking Epstein Class $$$ and making illegal stock trades.

Seriously, just start impeaching him. Left, right, center, waste congress' time so it cannot effectively pass legislation by filling the calendar day with impeachment hearings. If they want to clog all channels with crap, do it right back. Grind this country to a fucking halt, leave them having to fumble over constant demands for appearances. Just do SOMETHING.

[-] SaltyAmerican@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

They won't because they condone what he's doing while claiming they are powerless.

They've grown so much of a spine that they've gone from tiny asses paddles to full middle school letters!

Damn they're just great at meeting the moment.

[-] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

A sternly worded Crunchwrap.

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 28 points 3 days ago

You gotta pay for all the angry people to show up in DC

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

This is every politician though. That's why they're just writing a letter.

The state will never prosecute the state.

[-] Widukin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Epstein Files™ when?

[-] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago

Unless there was anthrax in the envelope it won't do anything.

He can't read.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Maybe we are immune to prosecution also and we just haven't tested it out yet!

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

17 pages?! Give him the Cliff Notes version, at least. Eesh.

legal action or GTFO

[-] assaultpotato@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago

Republican House, Senate, Supreme Court, Executive Branch. What would you like for them to do? They're already getting arrested at protests outside ICE facilities, they're attempting to rally support via public statements and open letters, and progressives are starting to win primaries in preparation for the midterms.

You want Senator Kelly to show up to Congress with a rifle or something?

[-] Akido37@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago

Blocking unanimous consent on everything in the Senate until their demands are met would be nice.

Dems should stop collaborating. Stop working with fellow fascists. Stop meeting with them every day at work.

It's not that hard really.

Yeah

[-] SaltyAmerican@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

This is a cop out answer. When Republicans are the majority they get everything they want, when Republicans are the minority they get everything they want. There's 2 possible reasons, and it's likely both. Democrats are complicit in what Republicans are doing, and/or they are completely ineffective in governing. Either way they don't represent the working class and need to be abandoned

Downvoting on principle, as this is the same shit centrists say when Democrats have power, and Donald and Mitch demonstrated for years now that possession of power or lack thereof isn't the problem, it's the will to act that matters.

They were "powerless" to stop Joe Manchin, whose daughter was price gouging people for pharmaceuticals and could have been the subject of a DOJ investigation if Dems gave a shit. They were "powerless" against Kyrsten Sinema, but could have stripped all her committee assignments and given her zero value as a lobbyist, diminishing her ability to monetize her seat significantly.

And what I think they should do is, I think, quite simple.

Expose the dirty secrets of every fascist motherfucker in Washington that supports this, en masse, as a unit, and fucking dare them to react. These people have the Epstein Files, security clearances, oppo firms, etc. Fuck, they can probably get their hands on Donald's medical records and taxes.

They don't need voting power in order to create consequences for fascists.

But that can't happen because the supposed opposition is dirty too, and pretending they're not acting because they're oh-so-powerless is, I think, generous to a silly extent after watching the last 20 years of supposed 'progressive' politics on the part of Dems.

Maybe they should look at their own party a little harder. They’re some big time offenders of this as well. I don’t mind throwing shit at Trump but if your party me,ners do the same thing it’s best to just let it go

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
