Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party | Common Dreams

"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

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.

    I don’t have any democratic representatives to call. At any level. Anywhere. Do I call Jeffries and Schumer directly?

      Still call your Republican representatives and ask what the fuck they are thinking by surrendering their power to an executive branch. That’s not how our Republic supposed to work.

      Edit: they supposed to represent you, you actually are in state where your representatives are responsible for the current situation and you are wondering how to contact representatives from the minority party that has a very little power to do anything right now.

      It doesn’t matter that you think they won’t listen, if you and others won’t complain, they definitively won’t do anything.
