Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a “dangerous move towards authoritarianism” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”
The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.
Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the “power of the purse” and urged Americans to oppose the order.
Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.
Absolutely. There are also Dems in Congress/Senate that have been voting yea to his bills. It’s disgusting.
“Yeah, every single Republican hates us and are openly corrupt, but like 2 Dems (usually caucusing Independents) are also bad.”
Im confused, are we supposed to pretend that there aren’t also democrats that are voting for Trump initiatives? Because trying to remove accountability for that seems idiotic.
Drawing attention to the outliers that vote against party lines is something that is often done by concern trolls to argue both sides are the same and sow apathy for democrats. This is most noticeable around election time.
You may not be trying to do that but your comment resembles what they would say. Usually blaming all democrats for the actions of a few going against the party.
The Democrats (there’s five or six of them) that are voting for Trumps insane bills need to be named and shamed. It doesn’t have have anything to do with “both sides”.
So name those Democrats instead of painting the whole party with the same brush as the Republicans
I never said all of them. You’re way over reacting. The ones that are voting for the bills are easily found on the gov site that documents bills.
The comment you replied to literally says five or six of them.
Here’s me naming and shaming them:

Notice it’s not the entire party like you dumbly assume for some reason.
I can see how your first comment would be construed as if there was a way more significant number of them. While you don’t call out a number or say most/all/whatever, its so general that it could be read as implying many of them. A quick edit could clear that up for others.
Which part of 5 or 6 is confusing you?
The number is 6. Is that even more confusing ? Was it because I wrote the words instead of the number? How few Democrats do you think are in the party?

If you don’t want those laws to pass, vote and vocally support parties in a way that opposes Republicans. Shitting on Dems in this context will give us: fuck all, jack shit, and a real bad time.
Republicans don’t shit on themselves and each other over all the horrible stuff they do. They celebrate it. And that strategy is winning against us.
Im not American, I’m just looking on in shock and horror at your two party system and the justifications you all seem to give your favourite team honestly.
If you’re not here to support the solution to the problem then fuck off, you’re not helping.
Yeah I’ll fuck off about your dumb ass countries politics when you stop trying to imperialize mine. The liberal do-nothingness that’s plagued your country is a bullshit attitude that is now affecting my country, and im not going to sit here and pretend it doesn’t piss me off.
And there it is! The both-sides-bad anti-liberal argument you always hear from a Tankie who probably supported Trump from the start.
They’re not even American. What are you talking about.
Nobody agrees with you here dude. Go enable fascism somewhere else.
I’m curious what you do to support the solution, other than keyboard warrior.
Voting dem is the solution, I support voting dem.
Dems introduce bills for public healthcare, campaign finance laws, and taxing the rich. Get 60 dems in office, and keep them there for when the tax laws expire again (we just lost this cycle) and everything will fall into place.
I agree with you
Im not understanding what you’re trying to say. There are five or so Democrats voting for Trumps antics. And yes, all the Republicans vote down the line, that’s what they do.
I’m trying to say we need to support Democrats unconditionally if we want anything to improve. Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
Whats your example on 5?
Support democrats unconditionally? You’ve lost your fucking mind.
Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
No
Democrats: Campaign Finance Laws, Tax the Rich, Saving the Planet, Medical for All, Nobody is Above the Law, Keeping Peace in the Middle East, Standing Up Against Hostile Dictators
Republicans: Destroy Academics, Pregnant Child Brides, Bribes are Good, POTUS is a King, OIL OIL OIL OIL, Putin’s their Friend, Cut Taxes for the Rich and Raise for Everyone Else
It shouldn’t even be a contest and yet somehow here we are.
In optimization problems where you are trying to find the minimum or maximum, you can get stuck in a local valley/crest where one option looks better than any other nearby options but if you move far enough away, you start getting even better options.
There is no middle option until after we let progressive reform happen.
This isn’t an optimization algorithm. This is dog training. Two thirds the dogs are taught lies and one third left to fend for themselves, and the lies are more effective.
The DNC wants to pass all the reforms we want to see, but we’re being taught the opposite is true and never giving them enough votes to make it happen.
Any American politician that helps your country fall or divide is better for the rest of the world.
I called it, you’re a Trump supporter.
The USA is at the helm of NATO, which protects the majority of the worlds democracies from the two largest militaristic expansionist dictatorships of the world China and Russia.
The fall of the USA will herald the darkest and most cruel point in human history, with more total suffering of people based on status than has ever occurred, if we’re not already experiencing it now.
Lol im absolutely not a trump supporter but go ahead and do whatever the brain worms tell you to do you dumb fuck. Americans just have zero idea of how much pain and suffering their country causes the rest of the world.
