Whenever I see posts like this, my question is: What constitutes "something?"
Democrats vote against all the Republican bills.
Cory Booker is filibustering a bunch of judicial appointments.
They're banging the drum about how horrible everything Trump is doing is.
They support the suits and the protests.
What do you want? It seems like people just want to complain about the Democrats regardless of the realities of the situation.

THIS is what a politician fighting to stop fascism looks like.
Not a press conference, not ‘barricading’ the door before meekly letting the DOGE lakeys in after they call the DC police, not Chuck fucking Schumer folding to Trump’s budget demands after the House stood tall and members in D+1 districts risked their position.
It’s still politics as usual for most of the leadership. Not ‘the fight to save our democracy’ like they campaigned and fundraised on.
Every single one of us fantasizes about stepping in front of a gun to save an innocent person. I even wanted to do that when I heard about an illegal ICE deportation less than 30 miles from me.
But fascist actors like DOGE sweep in like burglars, and run before you know they’re there. They remove livelihoods by E-mail. There’s nothing to stand in front of.
The Korean politicians literally put their lives on the line, and called the coup’s bluff by doing so. Posting on Twitter ‘man, Congress outta do something about that Doge’ when he is a Congressional leader while kicking the issue to the courts to ‘work it out’ is political theatre. Stand up, or step off Chuck.
