Do you think that the Democratic Party of the USA is not fighting back against Trump? And if so, why do you think so?

What is the actual job of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer? We know these lawmakers rarely read legislation, even the ones they bring to the floor, and oftentimes, they don’t understand it either. We know they only work for about half of the days in any given year. In fact, Kay Granger, a republican house representative from Texas, was found in a nursing home after being absent from the floor for over 6 months. If I were a no-show at my job for 6 days straight and nobody knew where I was, I would be fired, let alone 6 months.

Nope. That kind of system only works if you have an educated and informed voter population. We do not have an educated and informed voter population. Average American voters do not do their own independent research into their candidates. Nobody heard of Ballotpedia dot org. They rely on their favorite media outlet or the podcast bros to tell them what or who to vote for.

That circles back to the question I asked at the beginning of the answer: What are the political parties and politicians supposed to do in this country?

Have you ever accidentally seen your mother-in-law doing something that was private to her?

A rule without consequences of breaking is the same as no rule at all.

And yet, Congresswoman Granger continues to collect her salary and many perks and subsidies paid by taxpayers. The only time we ever heard about them is during the election.

I don’t think the Democratic Party is …

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

The democratic party, with very few exceptions, had zero motivation or capability to fight against anything. After all, this is Trump’s last term. If they could hunker down for 4 years, weather the storm, everything would go back to their usual life of fundraising, voting on bills they didn’t read nor understand, and sleeping on the Senate floor.

Then I realized that the US system, the three branches of the government, were never designed to check or balance anything. Or, more precisely, the system relies on people’s “goodwill” or at least “good intention” to function. If a system relies on “personal integrity” to function properly, it is about the same as “no system.”

7 storylines to watch with All-Star voting underway - MLB.com

If a representative wants to get elected or reelected, all they need to do is 1) get a lot of money and 2) run a marketing campaign.

It would be like, a bunch of street thugs crushed the Met Gala. Despite every guest at the Gala was industry leader or celebrity, none them could do anything while the thugs smashed the party, set the drapery on fire, and urinated on the carpet. You ask the host “do something!” They say, “Are you insane? I’m wearing a 12,000-dollar Balenciaga dress! Besides, what do you expect me to do? hit him with my limited edition Herme clutch? Let’s wait for the police.”

But it’s not just the systemic failure. After all, Black civil rights leaders were able to push for significant social and legal changes when the system was blatantly stacked against them. It is a lack of will from the democratic party leadership as a whole.

What if Supergirl was a baby and not a teenager when she left Krypton? Who do you think will find her? What do you think things would be like?

It almost sounds as if the most important work they do is to get elected.

That’s why you have Democrat congresspeople or senators going on to CNN and whining about how there’s nothing they can do because the Republicans control both the House and the Senate.

How to protect yourself from wildfire smoke and poor air quality - The Washington Post

You know, for the past 267 months since Trump’s second term started in January, I’ve been giving it a lot of thought. Like many liberals and leftists, I was shocked by the amount of damage Trump and his president, Elon Musk, can do to our government in such a short period of time. I was disheartened by the entire lack of leadership and resistance from the democratic party. I was confused by the lack of accountability and consequences for everything happening around us.

So why didn’t the Democratic leadership fight back? Because they don’t need to. They don’t care. And even if they do care, a bit, they wouldn’t know how. They never learned to be a proper “civil servant” politician. Everything they have done since they decided to run for office is fundraising and negotiating with big donors, making promises to grassroots organizations, and making flashy TV commercials; most of them don’t even know how to conduct a town hall.

But I don’t think we’ll be that lucky. I think this little experiment of the United States of America will crush and burn, hard.

Do any other guys like to eat cum of another man from their wife's pussy?

While I understand this is the “shock and awe” strategy laid out by Steve Bannon back in 2019, knowing it doesn’t make it any less shocking. It certainly doesn’t make the damage any less impactful.

My first question is, “where is the check and balance I was promised back in Political Science 101?”

In the best-case scenario, Democrats retake the House in the midterm, and we spend the remaining 2 years in a House vs. Senate deadlock, and we elect a democrat president and pretend none of that ever happened. We never learn anything or reflect on anything. We would continue to stumble forward with a severely eroded constitution and a government system until one day, some other crazy aspiring dictator came along and killed this country for good.

Musk-Trump Spat Hits New High As Musk’s Ex Piles On - HuffPost

If the primary job of a politician is to fundraise for their next election cycle by cozying up to Super PACs and making promises to grassroots donors to get reelected, why would they be working for us anyway? Most of us are single-issue voters with the memory of a fucking goldfish and could not be bothered to hold them accountable for their election promises.

It doesn’t matter what this representative did or didn’t do, because nobody bothered to check their track record. The majority of people vote on “vibes,” as they say on TikTok.

I think that’s the one thing I learned in the 84 years since this January: that our publicly elected representatives care more about the election than anything else. Of course, one would argue that if a representative wants reelection, they must work for the people and improve people’s quality of life, right?

Except in this analogy, the police are with the street thugs.

Nothing you can do? Are you fucking kidding me? Am I the only person who learned about Black Civil Rights leaders in college entry-level civics classes?

Citizen United had entirely changed how this country runs elections and, as a result, fundamentally changed our government.

Don't you think Democrats are so full of it stool softener and an enema couldn't help them?
