Even with my expectations low, I’m usually still disappointed. Everything comes second to getting Trump and his goons out of power because without that democracy is over. A Dem fully funded by AIPAC is still better than a Republican any day. Yeah, I prefer DSA, but I’ll take what I can get.

Iran and Lebanon maybe, but nobody is going to jail for the genocide in Gaza. I hate it, but it’s never happening. US law grants immunity to prosecution for official duties and no foreign army is big enough to force the matter.

Most recently they have blocked the SAVE act so far. That’s the one Trump needs to steal the election.

A bunch of stuff has been blocked that forced Trump to do it through executive order which was then blocked by Dem diatrict judges (for example Birthright Citizenship and the mail-in voting ban). Other stuff was blocked and then forced through budget reconciliation votes which necessitated stripping non-economic elements (like anti-trans legislation and immigration restrictions).

I don’t blame most people for not knowing these things because it is all boring as fuck and Dems suck at advertising their successes.

Edit: Dems also need to figure out how to ditch support of Israel without getting tarred and feathered as antisemites by people who can’t understand nuance.

The right is going to call whoever the Democrat candidate may be a socialist regardless. I am fully convinced that the administration is going to use the supposedly “fraudulent” midterms as an excuse to block the 2028 elections entirely. I think it is likely that Trump will be pushed out after the midterms to set up for 10 years of Vance. With luck Rubio and others will try to steal the top spot from Vance and the whole thing will tear itself apart.

I share your worry that the next Dem administration will fail to prosecute enough of Trump’s cronies. They have enough money and influence to drag such a fight out for decades. We need to go full nuclear from day one and take the whole administration down for conspiracy to commit treason.

There is literally one thing that can legally be done to stop Trump - impeachment. It wouldn’t matter a bit if every Democratic rep was magically changed into a DSA member tomorrow. Like you said, they don’t have the votes.

I’m well past the point where I will cheer on any non-legal solutions, but I don’t expect that to come from elected representatives. Their job is to do what the Republicans did when Obama was in office - obstruction. That is what they are doing.

It is documenting a crime Trump committed. There will come a time where Trump and his cronies are not in power and having this proof will be useful in prosecution.

This is literally an article about Democrats doing something.
