    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?

      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.

      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.

      That’s because he controls the media.

      The guy from the Circle Jerks just called for an army of Luigi Mangionis while on stage at Coachella, so there’s that

      Exactly how are they “opposing Trump.”

      Bernie voting yes on Marco Rubio should be all anyone needs to know about Trump’s “opposition.”

      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”

    are they going to impeach and remove him!!!

    he’s literally violating court orders from unanimous supreme court orders.

    if they don’t impeach, remove, and jail him (I’d rather he be sent to CECOT) they are all complicit.

    Yes AOC, he is. We all know. Some pieces of shit Americans however earnestly did not give a fuck clearly.

    I have nothing to say that’s constructive but I also have nothing to do to fill the void.

    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.

    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

      If they can’t do it twice in a row, what’s the chance of 5 in a row?
