Summary
House Democrats are frustrated with progressive groups like MoveOn and Indivisible, which are pressuring them to oppose the Trump administration more aggressively.
In a closed-door meeting, lawmakers complained about grassroots activists driving constituent calls demanding obstructionist tactics.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended the party’s strategy, saying, “We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.”
However, a CBS News/YouGov poll shows 65% of Democratic voters want all-out opposition to Trump’s agenda.
Sounds like our democracy is dead, if true.
It was dead on January 20th. We’re just witnessing it’s death throes.
No democracy has survived contact with neo-liberalism. Clinton couldn’t roll over for his corporate overlords fast enough.
