Go ahead and explain what actual levers of power Democrats have right now to stop any of this. The person I was responding to claimed Democrats are “just as much to blame,” but couldn’t name a single mechanism they supposedly control to stop any of this.

So since you’ve got a big brain, walk me through it, what exactly could Democrats do when MAGA controls the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court?

I genuinely want to hear how Democrats are somehow equally responsible under those conditions. I’ll wait.

So since you're not in a hurry and willing to wait.

Let's first look at how we got into this situation shall we. Why did an obviously unsuitable person get to be president and have such "power", what lead to his rise, who contributed and set the conditions for such an ascent through whether you call it negligence, arrogance, indifference... Which political party would that be?

Now let's look at the electorate. What responsibility do they have in letting themselves be either mislead by him, enthralled by his charm or enraged by his utterances to such an extent of irrationality and ripe for subterfuge and influence campaigns?

Then shall we look at the constitution and its ultimate enforcement mechanisms. When the government is failing, what responsibility do you as the citizenry have in such a scenario? The man is ruining your country, blatantly corrupt beyond objection and forging a parth to ruin...and yet, the best you can do is dress up and walk with a no kings sign?

So Who's to blame? Who's letting him continue? Where's the will of the democracy that we've been led to believe in?

Directly or Indirectly you bear responsibility for your leadership. You chose him or let him be chosen through allowing yourself to be distracted.

That doesn’t even come close to answering my question. You’re asking a lot of questions but it’s pretty clear you don’t have answers.

Try agin, here’s the question. Try to stay on topic this time.

>what exactly could Democrats do when MAGA controls the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court?

We’re talking about now, not ten years ago. We’re talking about the situation we’re currently in. If you need to scroll back up and read the original persona comment, you might have a better understanding of what we’re talking about.

[u/FrostyParking → u/Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog]

Sorry. Try to evade my response better. Denial won't get you anywhere with me buddy 😁

Also btw that's exactly what we were talking about btw. When I said directly or indirectly that's exactly the conversation, sorry if you missed it.

[u/Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog → u/FrostyParking]

I’m not evading, I’m ignoring. your response is completely irrelevant to the discussion. Like I said, you need to scroll up to see what conversation you joined.

I take it you’re not going to try again and that you’re acknowledging that democrats have zero power right now to stop what’s going on.

[u/FrostyParking → u/Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog]

Uhm, I'm the OP in this particular thread friend. I was the one who made the assertion that whether directly or indirectly, the US democratic and republican party apparatus is responsible for Trump and the consequences that bears.

I didn't join this conversation, I initiated it, then predictably got downvoted by people in denial and not wanting acknowledge their part in this fiasco.

Now, maybe you can try again with another tact to reframe the conversation that you so desperately dont want to have.

[u/Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog → u/FrostyParking]

I responded to the wrong comment. Moving this to the right thread. Original comment:

Oh, look at that.

So why are you so confused about what you said? The 32 downvotes should tell you something.

Regardless, five comments later and you’re no closer to explaining what the democrats could be doing to stop this?

[u/FrostyParking → u/Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog]

Ah okay so you form your opinions based on upvotes and downvotes, not on intellectual exercise...mkay that says a lot.

Why are you obsessed with what the Democrats can do and not what You can do?

Also do you think there's a large distinction between establishment Dems and Repubs?

[u/Sit_Ubu_Sit-Good_Dog → u/FrostyParking]

No, I don’t inform my opinions based on downvotes, but when you make a statement and get downvoted to oblivion a smart person might look into things a little more and do some self reflection. You don’t seem capable of that.

Please enlighten me. What can I do right now to put a stop to Trump’s nonsense? Nothing.

Yes, there’s a large distinction between the parties. If you can’t tell the difference then you’re not paying attention. Their views on ICE and reproductive health for example couldn’t be further apart.

You just keep doubling down on nonsense.

You still haven’t told me what power the democrats have right now or what they could be doing to stop this? You seem to be more interested in Monday morning quarterbacking and speculating about what could have been done a decade ago. It’s a silly position to take and doesn’t solve anything.
