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.

    It’s not a lie when one party is fascist. Trying to split just ensures Nazi rule like IT JUST FICKING DID

        There is only one party and its fascist. They’re not the same because they’re just as bad. They’re the same because they’re on the same team.

        Democrats suck the fattest corporate dick, lovingly, and laugh at the poor fighting amongst themselves, but it’s not good to dilute such a serious label as fascist with something you don’t like.

          Nothing is ‘diluted’ about that term. Being complicit in genocide, extreme violence and prosecution simply for protesting it. Putting kids in cages, imperialism, regime change, warmongering, and plenty more. They are fascist, they’re just too full of themselves to admit it. It’s not good to negate these serious facts just because you don’t like it.

            Your final little retort there mocking me is the most childish thing I’ve read on the internet in a little bit. You can compare a mountain to a molehill if you like but I think we have bigger problems to worry about.

            What solution do you propose to not working with the Democrats right now? Splitting the party and forming a progressive party hoping for scraps from the right that just want guns AND weed and don’t care about trans folks? What’s your plan besides being angry at Corporate Democrats? Have you donated to any of our more progressive Representatives?

              Nobody needs to split anything or work with them. 3rd parties already exist, even if they get scammed and sabotaged by your beloved party. “donated to any of our more progressive Representatives” LOL let me know who these ‘progressives’ are. BTW I’m European, not from your uniparty pseudo democracy and therefore can think outside the box. Your county’s politics are ridiculous and embarrassing. I’m really happy you got Trump. Him destroying your country is the best thing that could happen for the world.

                  Then shut the fuck up you aren’t a welcome part of this conversation

                  The centrist response to anyone being unhappy with Netanyahu’s wing of the party.

                    Your solution please? I’m not holding anyone without one that wants to chirp in very high regard.

                  LOL look at him seething. Your meddling imperialist regime and its horrible politics are a plague for the entire world so it does concern us. If it bothers you, then stay TF out of everyone’s bussiness. You really are a typical american. Thinking he can decide who can speak. Pretentious AF. Anyway, enjoy coping with your loss and becoming even more of a poor backward shithole. You’re all top entertainment.

                    So you don’t have a solution, have only an imagined dog in the race, and like name calling. You sound like a typical American too.
