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.
It sure is neat how powerless the minority has suddenly become.
Remember when the democrats had everything for a few years and did basically nothing and kept blaming the republican minority apparently that was bullshit and actually the minority has no power. So either the dems are liars or damned liars.
I certainly don’t remember it. We gave them 58 over a decade ago and less than 50 ever since.
We gave them a majority in 2020. Don’t pretend that the two independents that caucused with democrats don’t count. The independents didn’t vote with republicans. Democrats did.
Democrats have had less than 50 for over a decade, nothing sudden about it.
Their coalition had a majority from 2020-2022. During which time Republicans were all-powerful.
Stop pretending that we didn’t give your party a majority that they squandered.
