I think it's because we are depending on the system to protect us - for Congress to block appointments of obviously incompetent people and for courts to issue injunctions over clearly unconstitutional behavior.You and I are 100% opposed in the direction as to where we think the Dem party has to go to become successful, but there is one thing I have come to agree with you about. I am totally shocked by the lack of any effective response to Trump's blatantly illegal and/or unconstitutional appointments and executive orders, like appointing Musk without any confirmation, threatening to fire govt employees without any due Civil Service process, trying to overturn the 14th amendment by executive order, and trying to block already approved federal spending, to name only a few. The Dem leadership is not only gutless, but politically inept. I am also shocked at the lack of resistance/protests from the general population and news media. I am beginning to think the only thing that will be effective against Trump is large scale civil and economic protests across a wide cross section of the population. I dont mean to de-legitimize the George Floyd murder and the subsequent protests, but there was a nationwide reaction of protest for an extended period of time to that. In its own way, IMO, what Trump is doing to the country is far more destructive than even the George Floyd atrocity. And what do we hear in protest? Crickets.
Yea, retreating to Clinton era ideas is really not a good look.The Democrats Show Why They Lost
At a meeting of the DNC, the party seemed to be at pains to demonstrate that it learned nothing from its 2024 defeat.www.theatlantic.com
Have to agree these guys sound like a clown show.
You already knew Klobuchar was a piece of shit when she made that crying tweet about poor Thompson after Luigi slayed that gold-hoarding dragon.Another high profile Dem proving the party is a failure. Still talking about finding a middle/common ground on some issues with these people. The Dem party is simply stupidly out of touch at this point.

If you ever want the Democrats to fight the class war and not the culture war you're going to be sorely disappointed.The Democrats Show Why They Lost

Though here's the thing: they're not fucking up. They're doing exactly what their constituents want: making sure there is no political left in this nation that would tax them to pay for things civilized nations have like universal healthcare and an educational system that doesn't bury young people to their necks in debt all for the right to work.Another high profile Dem proving the party is a failure.

He's been there from the beginning, but it seems no one is following the parade.A Democrat found their remaining testicle and called this a constitutional crisis!

Stupid actions have consequences.
Thats like putting a gun to your temple, pull the trigger and then complain your brains is all over the wall.

I don’t usually post here much but I’m drunk in the DR.
It’s funny how the dynamics don’t really change as we get older. The republicans are the school bully who’s been held back a couple years cause he’s dumb as shit, destroys everything around him and prevents the teacher from actually teaching, but everyone kind of likes him because he’s charismatic. The Dems are the dweeb who gets good grades and is super polite but nobody really respects him because he gets beaten up and his lunch money stolen everyday. It doesn’t matter how right he is or how wrong the bully is. The only way things turn around for that dweeb is if he punches back. Bullies don’t actually want to fight on equal terms. Ya, he gets in trouble for it and it’s not fair but it’s the only way to earn back that respect.
Voters didn’t turn out for the Dems because they’re sick and tired of backing the losers crying to the teacher.
So much this. Except instead of the bully getting detention he gets the nuclear launch codes.I don’t usually post here much but I’m drunk in the DR.

Hey Biden. Shut the fuck up you dumb fucking twat that majorly helped get us into this fucktangle hellhole of a disaster. If the publisher burned all these books, now that's a book burning I could get behind.
This guy is literally one of the worst presidents we've ever had. He directly contributed to the destruction of American democracy and the nullification of the Constitution.
You don't watch MSNBC then.I think feckless is too nice a word for a Democratic party.
They won't even go on news shows to talk about musk. I hope the Democratic party is destroyed.

CNBC host says Democrats are turning down opportunities to come on the show and talk about Elon Muskbsky.app
Well considering this post was about CNBC, I'm not sure what that means. The fact is there are Democrats declining to do so that has been verified on this network.You don't watch MSNBC then.
