    None of this is false is the thing. He’s literally a criminal. He literally gave out a massive stock tip before reversing direction on tariffs again…

      There are also those 34 felony convictions. And the civil court finding that he raped a woman.

        Yup. It still boggles my mind that none of that was enough to make Republicans think twice about voting for him.

        Now that he’s impacting them financially? Oh noes! I might not vote Republican again! 🙀

        But of course, it’s way too late now and we’ll be lucky if we even have another election at this point.

          Well, they never heard that information. In many cases very literally. In other cases they “heard it” and dismissed it as “lying” of the “liberal media”.

          It’s a cult.

      And TREASON! He is literally the most prolific traitor in American history. Not just that, but he is a worse traitor than ALL other American traitors COMBINED!

      Any discussion of his criminal activities should lead with the undeniable FACT that he is a Traitor.

    Are she and Sanders the only politicians in the United States actively opposing Trump? I keep searching for news of others taking a stand, but it appears only those two are doing so openly.

    Trump has crossed so many lines but I really do not see any outcry, mass resistance or opposition?

      Be mindful not to mistake suppression of dissent with lack of dissent. News media is actively avoiding protests. We’re out there, even if the news cameras aren’t.

      Illinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.

      There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.

      Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.

      Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.

      Seems that way, yes people are starting to protest but not nearly enough, and as another commenter mentioned the media is not covering it, which should surprise no one.

      The Democratic party needs to be laying out the facts when the CiC lies to the people, but nope they seem to be just sitting back sulking saying “see we told you this would happen and since you didn’t vote us in we’re not going to do shit”

    Her and Bernie just had the largest political rally in Idaho since 08 Obama…

    The people don’t want trump

    But the people don’t want a shitbird neoliberals either.

    For the vast amount of Dem voters, there’s gonna be at least a 20 year gap between them being able to vote for something rather than just to stop a Republican.

    Luckily we finally kicked the “moderates” out of DNC leadership for this first time since Jimmy Carter, longer than most of us have been alive they’ve had control to the detriment of America.

    The reason mainstream media is finally ok with criticizing Dems. Is the neoliberals aren’t in control anymore. So now the billionaires want Dem voters to fight the DNC.

    Because billionaires no longer control the DNC

    She’s not wrong. But she should be careful. She has a Hispanic-sounding name and brown skin. Key demographic to get deported (without trial) to a concentration camp ala’ trump.

    EDIT: I didn’t mean “be careful” as in “don’t say these things,” I agree with you all-she should DEFINITELY say these things. I mean “be careful” as in “don’t walk to your car unattended, answer the door without checking, talk to police, or take any meetings with someone you don’t know.” - that sort of careful.

      I don’t think she should be careful. If anything, being as loud as possible and staying in the public eye is what all Democrats should be doing. Because if they do start deporting people that actually speak the truth everyone will know when and how it happens. You can’t hide it and they can’t effectively make a move against her that won’t be seen by the entire world. And I think it’s a sign that we all need to start doing this. If we’re loud and seen instead of raging behind our phone screens it’s a lot harder for people to just disappear.

        Exactly. We are in this mess because the Democrats and the media immediately declared an obviously rigged election to be “fair & square” the moment it was over. Being smug about the “peaceful transfer of power” was more important to those weak cowards than protecting America from being destroyed by vicious Nazi traitors.

          What’s your evidence it wasn’t fair and square? I mean actual sources, not the previously generalized high-level accusations like “they faked the vote count”. I’d be very interested to see them.

              Something a little more concrete than contextualized public statements or the well known tactics of voter roll purges and gerrymandering, etc.

              Like vote tallies not matching or something like that.

      She’s literally part of the organizations that should be taking action. It’s not supposed to be our job. Senators and representatives are the ones paid to be the checks and balances. The bar has been set so low now that someone in the government saying what is going on is wrong is seen as a win. The bar is buried underground at this point.

        Too much buck pushing in the good ol USA. It is, in fact, our civic duty to be active citizens that hold our elected representatives accountable. Our continual evasion of this responsibility is a large part of what landed us here.

        It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that a large portion of the “not our job” folks were the same ones wholly blaming the Russian people for not hanging Putin in the town square.

        We’ve lost all sense of duty and honor in favor of the almighty dollar in this country. Yes, our representatives should be holding Trump accountable, but we the people voted his tired, rapist ass back into office.
