Summary
House Democrats are frustrated with progressive groups like MoveOn and Indivisible, which are pressuring them to oppose the Trump administration more aggressively.
In a closed-door meeting, lawmakers complained about grassroots activists driving constituent calls demanding obstructionist tactics.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended the party’s strategy, saying, “We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.”
However, a CBS News/YouGov poll shows 65% of Democratic voters want all-out opposition to Trump’s agenda.
Dear House Democrats,
Fascism is currently destroying the US system of government that you like to call democracy.
Given the influence on the world held by the US, this is a major threat not only to the people you were trusted to represent, but to practically everyone.
If it succeeds in taking over the United States, it will be in no small part your fault.
Kindly do you fucking jobs.
Now.
Before it’s too late.
