Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.

    The dnc can get fucked. I hope the only ppl that win their elections are socialist candidates that want universal healthcare, taxing the rich, et al. Maybe then the dnc will get the message

      I mean, I want to have those policies and services too, but you’re saying if it’s a non-socialist Democrat versus a Republican, you want the Republican to win?

      I’m guessing if that happens you’ll get your wish for no DNC by 2028, because we’ll be a state-enforced one-party system by then.

        We’re saying if its fascist or fascist-lite, we’ll select neither in order to pressure fascist-lite to do better. And if the Dems still dont wanna then they can lose. Its the only way to prerssure them. We cant play chicken we have to give them real consequences.

          So you’ll accelerate the fascism to punish the significantly empirically less fascist group? Sound fuckin logic there brainiac. So you want fascism. You’re a fascist accelerationist.

            I sure am, but I do hope the dems leadership pulls their heads out of their arses before the system immolates, but I’m not going to stand around while the government oils the gears of our half assed democracy with the blood of innocents. If it literally takes blood to continue, then it needs to end. You’re just whining because you are so sure the blood wont be yours-- when you shouldnt be sure. Thats ghoulish, bud. And a tad evil and short sighted. But you do you.

              The Dems will stand around with their dicks in their hands while the whole thing implodes. There’s no common sense in that tent

        I’m glad people are finally starting to understand how Tankies work. I’d be real skeptical of any lemmy_today accounts you see, they’re still federated with the Tankie hive that is Hexbear. They’re just Russian and Chinese trolls, the lot of them. It’ll be nice once everyone decent finally makes the move over to piefed and we can start delisting all of the lemmy instances.

          Well its not up to you, finitebanjo. The dems dont have the votes to lose their progressive voting block and still win elections-- even against trump-- so they can choose to do their effing jobs or they can lose. We’re well aware you’ll vote for them either way, thats factored into the math already.

          And you can call people names all day finitebanjo, no one could possibly care any less what centrist armchair generals like yourself think. All you lot do is lose and cave constantly. You centrists are a complete clownshow.

            Kreskin your post and comment history are visible. Anybody can just click on your name and see that your whole account exists just to denigrate democrats. You’re a bad faith accelerationist. That’s not me calling you a name, that’s all your posts and comments outing you for what you are.

                Then admit you’re just as willing as MAGA to sacrifice all the people that maga intend to kill because your stance helps maga kill all those people. Congratulations, you’re a fascist accelerationist, not an ally, and you deserve whatever the republicans do to us because you’re actively working towards it.
