    What can they do?

    According to their leader, Jeffries they aren’t in power. How about not show up and vote for fascist nominees.

      According to the article:

      Holy shit. @schumer.senate.gov and the Senate Democrats couldn’t object to a basic UC (unanimous consent) time agreement to slow down a nominee like Gabbard?

        If they wasted everyone’s time then they would be just as bad as the fascists.

        When Obama had a supermajority, the other spray tanned asshole John Boner(Baener) and McConnell worked together to make Obama look a fool and he ended up caving on a public option and failed until they lost their majority.

        They spent years trying unsuccessfully to throw out the Affordable Care act more than 40 times, the Dems just want to fail because any success for the little people would mean less profits for their donor overlords.

          The point is to prevent republicans from passing legislation that will ban abortion statewide, gut Medicare, cut off social security, etc. It’s called a “delay” tactic. Otherwise republicans will take away everyone’s freedoms.
