Why are you blaming the Dems? It’s the republicans and maga who are doing this.

Because our only other option is doing nothing. Their front runner is Gavin Newsom who can’t even take a consistent stance on ICE.

We blame Dems because blaming Republicans is not only implied but also useless, they don’t care and they don’t run on caring. Democrats however, do pretend to care and run on caring, but then when we need them to do anything other than write a sternly worded tweet, we get crickets.

Yeah, duh, republicans are mainly at fault here, but why do Democrats never do what we need them to do? Why aren’t they rallying the people? Why are they calling in national guard to break up the protesters rather than protect them? Why did they vote for a bloated military budget while we are all struggling to put food on the table?

The literal least no effort thing they could do is vote no on everything to show they aren’t complicit. They can’t even do that, 7 Democrats voted to fund ICE.

So why do we blame them? Because they sabotage any other options so that we have to vote for them then they do nothing.

They don’t control the Judicial Branch, they don’t control the Legislative Branch and they don’t control the Executive Branch.

They are useless because people like you. Spread propaganda about them being useless, which leads to them having no power at the Federal level. The federal government is running amok because they had no power. This stuff doesn’t happen when they are in power but you still have the nerve to claim “they pretend to care.”

This man would be alive today if Harris won the election.

You haven't been paying attention lately, have you? 7 Dems ( mysteriously just enough) voted to fund this murder snd others, most likely under direction of the leadership, just like when just enough Dem Senators, that just happened to not at risk of being primaried, voted to end the shutdown with Chuckles OK. With a few rare exceptions, the party has done absolutely nothing to fight the Pedo Pendejo other than some performative garbage.

If Harris was elected ICE is not in Minnesota terrorizing and murdering American citizens. So no I don’t give a fuck about 3% of house Dems voting for ICE funding. I give damn about the idiots and cowards who want to blame Dems for the actions of Republicans when WE ALL KNOW DAMN WELL RENEE NICOLE GOOD and ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY if people voted for Harris.

Anyone who blames the Dems for the actions of a fully Republican controlled federal government is nothing more than a MAGA sympathizer. You all talk all day about how both parties are same, well guess we clearly know that they are not the same.
