Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    Time for the neoliberal world order to end. Want Republicans to actually be scared of Democrats? Fill the party with socialists.

        …which is the true goal of these “hello there, fellow leftist” bastards who exclusively attack Democrats.

          If they occupy the only space to defeat Trump and they do a bad job at it, of course they get “attacked.”

          If they don’t want to be criticized, they shouldn’t be public figures. If they don’t want to have people have actual reasons to call them out, they shouldn’t have and keep unpopular policies. If they don’t want to represent their people, they shouldn’t be in office.

              Propaganda = criticism

              Got it, don’t call out your favorite team, they’re immune to critcism. Calling them out is woke propaganda. Sources proving them owned by corporations? DEI news Russian media.

                Pretty much. It’s very rare to find a good faith criticism of Democrats on lemmy. All you have to do is ask what they think about Trump, or Russia. Usually you get a deflection, or crickets. Or [removed by mod]. Not allowed to criticize Dear Leader, only Democrats.

    What would constitute fighting?

    People keep complaining about Democrats not doing anything, but under current constraints there isn’t much they can do.

    People seem to spend more time complaining about Democrats not opposing Republicans than they do complaining about Republicans destroying America.

      Both sides seem to always act like the other side is tyrannical because the other side is doing things they don’t like. And unless they cheated, they are doing what they were voted in to do. (Unless they lied about what they were going to do.)
