House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.
Cause annoyance is the tactic that we have used for the last 2 decades and it’s got us here.
So we should move on to appeasement or contentment? No. Give them all nine circles of Hell.
Sure just don’t expect it to do anything or than annoy them and have private meetings like this to try and figure how to shut us up.
Them being annoyed is already an improvement over them ignoring us.
Is it though? The last time the Democrats got annoyed by progressives they suddenly had bipartisanship support for cracking down on protests. The fact that they were about Palestine just made them that much faster.
When the DNC gets annoyed they don’t question themselves they suddenly side with the GOP to shut up people.
Them being annoyed makes them feel justified to be cruel because the people at the DNC weren’t going to change their minds and their income just because of being annoyed.
