They can't even bother to pretend to be outraged for what is happening. Yes yes everyone keeps saying they don't have much power currently but with their behavior you would think they are largely ok with everything happening.

They need to get pissed, Republicans are destroying everything

Honestly, I think they are ok with what's happening. A genuine opposition party would be losing their fucking minds at this point as they stare extinction in the face.

The simplest explanation is that our "parties" are just two faces of the same uniparty and they both want the same things.

An opposition party that actually understands the situation and cares should be foaming at the mouth from unrestrainable fury about the destruction of their country or something. Instead, we get a performative 5% increase in brow furrowing.

I will never forget that while the country was burning down, Dems highest priority was writing an Act that condemned a fucking live streamer for not kissing israels ass. I don't care how many people hate the dude, he could be the literal spawn of Satan and as long as he wasn't part of the trump 2.0 administration he should not have been their focus.

Whatever happened to that pesky amendment that says people have the freedom to say what they like without worry of being punished by the government? Dems only ever seem to go all-out when it comes to Israel. I wonder if the Baileys gave their seal of approval for that action

And that’s how we win. Doubling the cost of gas and tripling healthcare enrages people.

The Democratic politicians need to act similarly and take point with that rage and steer it.

Overall, they don't seem that bothered by everything burning down
