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

democrats be like:

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.

Had to fish this one out of my saved posts lol https://lemmy.world/post/36678776
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?
Blocking unanimous consent on everything in the Senate until their demands are met would be nice.
Idk if you've noticed but almost everything is passing on party line votes. Bills only need a simple majority to pass the Senate and the House, and Republicams have a simple majority. Democrats have done a few successful filibusters to prevent bills from making to the vote, but it's not possible to do for every bill.
You don’t understand. I don’t mean a filibuster.
Daily business in the Senate operates under unanimous consent. That way, they avoid voting for things like setting schedules and super minor nonsense.
It takes only a single Senator to force votes on everything to grind the Senate to a halt.
This is the way, if you're one of the morons (or outright collaborators) who still thinks civility is important.
Bog eveything down with procedural bullshit. It's what Mitch would do.
I generally agree with that. That's a good step they should take. Assuming you're American, you should contact your Senator so they know their constituents want that.
You want Senator Kelly to show up to Congress with a rifle or something?
Yeah
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.
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
Dems should stop collaborating. Stop working with fellow fascists. Stop meeting with them every day at work.
It's not that hard really.
"Dear Mr. Trump,
Your blatant corruption and bald faced desire for nothing but wealth and power is causing untold damage to our ability to do the same less brazenly when its our turn.
We sternly request you tone it down so we can properly maintain the status quo.
Sincerely, Democrats"
Dear Mr Trump. We know what you did... pLz ShArE gAiNz
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.
King of the hill meme except instead of “would be very upset” the last line is “still wouldn’t give a shit”
Natalie Harp probably used it as a wet wipe when she wiped the diarrhea off her face from fellating his anus.
This is only about setting a record so that nobody can later say that they didn’t care.
This is every politician though. That's why they're just writing a letter.
The state will never prosecute the state.
And if he could read I’m sure he would be annoyed by it.
It’s more likely it went straight in the bin.
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
Next will be the tersely-worded letter.
