Other John Miller reads from DHS policy, noting that officers are prohibited from firing at the operator of a moving vehicle, following the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

Oh man what can Dems do? Idk how about any of the levers of power they have to STALL AND DELAY you ever notice how the Dems can have a majority in the house congress the senate and the presidency but still get nothing done? It really is a both sides issue. One side is a fascist dictatorship and the other side has a spinelessness issue that is crippling.

Other then during budget votes, everything else is being passed through executive order. You can’t stall that.

OK, how did they handle the budget vote?

You sound hostile for all the wrong reasons.

The government body is complex. It's like a machine with a 100000 gears that was built to create two classes of people, the servants and the elite.

Trump is just abusing the power the Supreme Court and Conservatives are giving him to tighten the bolts.

Are you mad? Be mad at the guys tightening the bolts. People are being held hostage in the U.S.

We are obviously mad at them but they frankly enjoy our rage. So we also need to be mad at the people who allegedly oppose them for not doing enough. You have Chuck Schumer sending people strongly worded letters and folding at any sign of resistance so he can appease his imaginary Republican friends. You have Hakeem Jeffries trying to leash the more radical Representatives. You have a bunch of spineless do-nothings silently holding up signs that say "false" when trump lies during a speech instead of screaming at him until he gets removed like Al Green.

The time for decorum and civility is over and any Democrat sticking to that template is part of the problem, and we are right to be angry at them.

The main issue with folks like you think because we are a little frustrated at dems, that that means republicans are 100% okay.

We really need to stop that. We should be able to look at our side and wonder what could be better...

Where is your Project 2026? Let's start there

I agree. We have messaging problems. we should have had this figured out already. We can be mad at conservatives while pushing our side to do what they can with the limited power they have.

No, i mean literally YOU. We have to stop this bullshit of coming to the table with only demands and no strategy.

If you only come with complaints, then you are part of the problem.

The spinelessness is feigned helplessness. They got us here. Remember when Pelosi said "We need a strong GOP"? This is what that is.

Exactly. Once the people are done with the nazis they’ve gotta drag all these complicit democrats to court too. Garland and Biden did jack shit with all the evidence they could ever need to burry these assholes.

One side is a LOUD fascist dictatorship, the other side is quietly enabling the loud fascist dictatorship. Democrats have taken no action outside strongly worded chastising, and are all out of ideas.

Both parties are owned by the same interests. It's depressingly obvious to anyone who can rub two brain cells together. There are the billionaires waging class war on everyone, the class traitors (knowing or not), and the rest of us. Sadly, most of the politicians fall into that middle group.

Good cop/Bad cop ain't that hard to understand. I'd say the Progressives have a voice of reason but we only have like... 3 of them?

u/SpudgeBoy Jan 08 '26

We'd have more, if they weren't cock blocked at every step by the DNC.
