House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

    My idea of voting harder is more than 50 Dems, which hasn’t happened in many years, then they could consider taking the Filibuster off for a while.

    Ideally 60 Dems, enough to pass all of their platform without being filibustered and without giving Republicans a chance to fight back.

    We haven’t even tried that but everybody in here is so ready to blame Dems for not being in charge.
