The Senate minority leader and his 47-member caucus finally got their first major Trump administration stumble, after last week’s rescinding of a budget memo that froze huge swaths of government spending. That unexpected pullback inspired Schumer to call an audible, turning his strategy of coordinated hits on President Donald Trump’s blanket pardons of Jan. 6 defendants into a focused condemnation of Trump’s budgetary moves.

Lol lmao Democrats STILL don't get that people don't fucking care about J6

They're so stupid. All it's shown is you can try to kill members of congress or even the vice president and get away with it. Like this goes both ways. Since Trump and the republicans who organized January 6th. have faced zero consequences, there's no reason for democrats not to try doing the same thing. They really think if they set a "good example," the GOP won't do it again. Dems are under the naive belief reactionaries won't sick cops and the military on democrats when they can get away with that, too.

The next time republicans think they're going to lose an election (assuming we still have those), they will stage a coup for real.

I mean, not with a Republican house, no. But surely this is what they'll spend time on anyway

I love so much how the Dems one and only strategy is "At least we aren't Republicans!!" The only way you even consider "we win when they make a mistake!" a viable strategy is when you have quite literally no other strategy left. They aren't even willing to do ridiculous strategies like "We'll give everyone 10 thousand dollars if we win president in 2028!!" If they wanted to win they could say that and they would win 100% of the time. It's so easy for the Dems to do ANYTHING to win and they still have no ideas other than "we'll just wait for America to be sick of the Republicans messing up again!!!"

I don't even think it's fair to call them controlled opposition anymore. They aren't opposition and the Republicans don't even have to control them anymore.

Chuck Schumer and Dem leadership should be kicked out of congress. Because they suck so bad, Republicans are back in power. Why listen to this idiot piece of shit on anything, ever? The one job they had was to not allow Trump to win again and they failed that.

I would add that the second job they had, as human beings and not just Dems, was to not facilitate a genocide. But they failed at that, too. So they're also subhuman garbage.

The Democrats need to be removed from existence for being enablers of overt fascism.

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This country won't be able to heal until the Democrats are replaced with an actual left wing party and I doubt we will see that day.

He's done nothing but screw up and all you've done is demonstrate that there's no mechanisms for holding anyone accountable for as long as they have the support of their party.
