    What do you think they should be doing?

    “Fighting” is not an answer.

    What specific actions are you expecting from them?

      I’ll start. At the very least they should quit voting to fund the genocide and increase ICE funding. I understand these measures are largely performative and the Republicans would get what they want anyway, but they could at least act like they are displeased with their votes.

        Yes. Please list things that a sitting federal politician can do when both chambers of Congress and the presidency are in opposition party control, which are not purely performative nonsense

          Im going to bake on this for a little bit. While you just asked me how can Captain America go alone up against the whole army of Thanos. Or why MLK jr god bless his soul got shit done. Or why Ghandi kicked the brits out of a whole country by pretty much not doing anything… Also may I recommened the WKUK Guillitine video on you tube?

            Still not answering the question, unless you’re implying that Chuck Schumer should bring an assault rifle to the Senate and murder 53 Senators.

              Clearly they’re waiting on Captain America. Schumer wouldn’t have to kill all of them, just enough to get a supermajority.

              I wonder how many protests they have attended. I talked to a rep at a candidate who was trying to organize grassroots. AOC hasnt stopped. Bernie is old but stumping all the time. The PEOPLE need to follow and get involved.
