Summary
House Democrats are reportedly frustrated with progressive advocacy groups like MoveOn and Indivisible for pressuring them to aggressively oppose the Trump administration.
These groups have driven thousands of constituent calls demanding Democrats obstruct GOP efforts, but leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have resisted full-scale opposition.
While 65% of Democratic voters want maximum resistance, party leadership has opted for selective battles.
It’s hard to understand how dismissive they’re being when their own constituents are reaching out to them. Is this article leaving it out or have they given some sort of rationale for choosing their battles instead of going all out?
This is a repost from earlier today.
The top people in the Democrats party are career politicias. They don’t accept that people are angry nothing is being done while they continue to make money for themselves.
You can find more discussion about it in the post from earlier today.
Thanks for the heads up. Was it in this same community? (I’ll check here for now.)
Maybe I’m too cynical, but perhaps they’re being paid not to go all out.
I’m sure we all have suspicions about them but I want to know what their excuse is, especially considering the dangerous (for them) possibility their jobs could come to an end if Trump solidifies the level of power he obviously wants to have.
More like they aren’t being paid to care. Silicon valley used to be their donors. They will happily loose votes if they can get those valley bucks back.
