The Capitol phone lines were laden This month, and some Democrats You complain about the flood of calls from The voters who appeal to them to fight Trump administration. Often, the responses to the calls were to pass a right -bak.
“It was a continuous topic for us, saying:” Please contact the Republicans, “Democratic Deputy Virginia Don Bayer Make up. Representative Richie Torres, dn.y. He is insulted by the voters he hears. “I refuse and resent the implicit meaning that the Democrats in Congress are simply standing by the negative,” he He said.
Such reactions are political Popouts. These two persons in Congress are blue deep provinces, and both their states are the members of the Democratic Senate. The response to the angry ingredients by informing them of “calling Republicans” is a way to avoid responsibility and accountability.
While Trump’s forces are setting fire to the basic structures of American democracy, Democrats in Congress are widely seen that they use stray rifles.
It is easy for Torres, Bayer and others in the Democratic Assembly to hold the size of anger calls to their offices. At first glance, it may seem to tell voters to contact the Republicans instead logically. But this is in fact a way to inform an angry democratic base of not disturbing Democratic legislators.
What is more, as a practical issue, their voters often have a way to the message of the Republican Party members in Congress. The email system for Congress is not allowed without copper to send a message to a representative or member of the Senate. The first thing the employee wants to confirm on the phone is whether the caller is actually composed.
Half of the citizens of the nation – and the vast majority of Democrats – live in countries with two Democratic Senate members. Thus, routinely, when Democratic office owners say that their exciting components should leave them alone and “summoning the Republicans”, it amounts to a brush that can be translated from political talk as “stopping the eavesdropping on us already.”
But in the introductory elections next year, some of them are responsible for responsibility. Few Democrats who serve with blue voters will face narrow races in the 2026 general elections – but if they are considered as trapped who failed to put a battle against President Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, their occupants risk facing the initial challenges that anger pushes at the level of base.
Anger may appear feverish inside Capitol Hill bubbles. But it is real for millions of participating activists-who volunteer in movements and can fail to rebel campaigns with a lot of donation, the strength of conflict and social media effects.
Just ignore the Democrats that in the minority they will not be washed. “The Senate Rules to protect minority rights are designed, and Democrats have tools to grind the Senate’s business to stop delaying and challenging the Trump Musk coup.” Indicate. “The three largest weapons? The comprehensive opposition, the quorum calls, and the prohibition of consensus consent – the parliamentary guerrilla war tactics that can slow down, stop and obstruct each turn.”
The required opposition goes beyond procedural maneuvers. It puts the duration of public data and itself every day, from hundreds of Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate, a tone and the transmission of messages that exceed just words on paper and screens.
A week after Trump returned to the Oval Office, the leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez (DN.Y.), traveled to California and met with a donor’s marriage in the Silicon Valley, where he is It is said “The Democrats said they were reaching the center, while Trump would be more difficult.” Here we have the potential Speaker Described As “fascism to the nucleus”.
Jeffrez’s goal of the “center” embracing may play well with the executives of rich technology, but indicates a noticeable indifference to the largest part of Democratic voters. Early this month, CBS News I mentioned Its poll indicates that “the Democrats and the two files in the country are increasingly looking for a greater opposition to President Trump than their delegation in Congress.” The trend was certain. Only 35 percent want Democrats in Congress to “try to find a common ground with Trump”, while 65 percent want them “Trump’s opposition as possible.”
A gathering last Thursday at the Jeffrez office in central Brooklyn attracted hundreds of demonstrators. One of them, Molly Orenati, Activist in Group 350 Brooklyn Water, He said Salon: “He behaves as if this was a natural part of the political process, when this is just a violation of the constitution, federal laws, the separation of power, and the democratic principle – all the main American values. It does not stand with the level of anger that people intended to see, that the Democrats wanted to see it.”
The next day, on his last trip in California, Jeffrez spoke in the Gulf region and created titles like “”Hundreds of protest outside the event with the leader of the minority in the House of RepresentativesAnd “and”Oakland to Hakeem Jeffries: Do your work!One of the local television news reports Summarize The subject of the demonstration in this way: “The Democratic Party pays lip service to the working class.”
For most registered Democrats, there is nothing more important for legislators who have “D” after their names than to do the battle of teeth and teeth against Trump’s agenda Mask to rid the government while enriching the wealthy at the expense of everyone. While Trump’s forces are setting fire to the basic structures of American democracy, Democrats in Congress are widely seen that they use stray rifles. This is not a way to prevent tyranny or win in the upcoming elections.
