    You are wanting people whose literal job is to legislate, which they were elected to do in order to represent the voice of their constituents on legislative matters, to stop trying to legislate in an effort to build legal walls to defend against fascism?

    This is a case where we need the dog-and-pony show. We need everyone doing everything they can, especially the foundational things, so that later on no one can say “why didn’t they just try the normal way and things wouldn’t have been so difficult?”

    Edit: we need our representatives to be doing more, I agree there, but I’m saying we need them do AT LEAST do their job, and we should probably be saying “Yes, and…” to them instead of just “you’re doing it wrong.”

      Man I have to agree with OP. Do these things like a Dem version of Project 2025. Have an equality agenda when in power and actually make those changes. Fight facism now, because equality doesn’t mean shit if everyone in power is facist. They are deporting US Citizens for God’s sake.

        nothing more than virtue signalling at this point, they know if they used it earlier, they probably wont have leverage over the voters to vote for them anymore. thier just stringing people long enough where they can still grift and quickly retire to another country or a wealthy community, where they are untouchable by the plebs.
